    We shouldn’t be forced to do these things, but connect it to a junk wifi signal setup using tethering or something and once setup is done, disable it.

        There’s always a niche instance but my example gives it a valid, but disposable, connection to complete setup, it can totally ping that server there at the beginning and give the all clear. And then you turn off that disposable Wi-Fi signal.

        Tether to a bullshit Wi-Fi name (like with your phone), finish setup, turn it off and never enable that particular name again. Or research if your TV is like that before you buy it and just don’t buy it. But shit happens so you deal with what comes at you as it comes at you.
