Hi everyone, I'm new to this. My Google Wi-Fi stayed in one spot for weeks, but after bringing in a new 75" Philips TV, it stopped working. Moving the router a bit fixed everything. What's going on?

It seems interference is the issue. Check if your TV uses an Ethernet connection or Wi-Fi. If you're using Google WiFi, confirm it's a mesh network configuration.

It uses a mesh configuration and is also linked via Wi-Fi.

It's been noted before that unshielded TVs or monitors can disrupt 5GHz Wi-Fi signals. I don't recall the exact source, but there was a major announcement a few years ago about devices interfering with routers when placed too near each other. Generally, a TV acts like a large metal surface and electronic components, so keeping it away from Wi-Fi routers is advisable.
