What it means
TCL explains that "Connected, no internet" means the TV is connected to the router but may not be reaching the internet. To separate causes it suggests checking other devices, restarting the network and the TV, forgetting and re-adding the network, running Check internet connection and testing with a phone hotspot. If the TV connects through the hotspot, the TV's Wi-Fi is likely working. The message does not prove a TV fault.
