Connecting an older flat-screen TV like the Zenith Z26LZ5R to Wi-Fi might not be possible directly, as these models usually lack built-in Wi-Fi capabilities. However, you can still connect your TV to the internet using alternative methods. Here's an option you can try:

1. Purchase a Wi-Fi adapter: Look for a Wi-Fi adapter compatible with your TV's USB or HDMI ports. These adapters are specifically designed to enable Wi-Fi connectivity on older TVs.

2. Connect the Wi-Fi adapter: Plug the Wi-Fi adapter into the appropriate USB or HDMI port on your TV. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper installation.

3. Configure the Wi-Fi adapter: Access your TV's settings menu and locate the input or network settings. Select the appropriate input/source for the Wi-Fi adapter. Then, follow the on-screen prompts to set up the Wi-Fi connection. You will need to input your network name (SSID) and password.

4. Connect to your Wi-Fi network: Once the Wi-Fi adapter is configured, search for available Wi-Fi networks within the TV's settings menu. Select your network and enter the password if required. Allow the TV a few moments to establish a connection.

5. Test the connection: Once connected, test the internet connection by accessing any online apps or features available on your TV. This will confirm if the Wi-Fi adapter is working correctly.

Remember that the process may vary slightly depending on the specific Wi-Fi adapter you're using and the TV's settings menu. Make sure to consult the documentation provided with the Wi-Fi adapter for detailed instructions.

If you encounter any difficulties during the setup process, don't hesitate to reach out for further assistance.
