  Straight to the work bench, remove the back, physically remove the wifi adapter, replace back of TV. Yay, i am ready for xbox.

    If I had done that, I would have never gotten the firmware update to enable VRR support on my HDMI 2.1 ports…

      There’s probably a procedure to load firmware from USB. Maybe.

        Probably not unless you have the signing keys.

        Buy products based on the features they have out of the box, not promises about future updates

    I just set up a rule on my firewall to disallow outgoing web traffic from my TV so I can still control it over the wifi. Then if I want to sell it I haven’t broken any functionality.
