Pro Tip: Connect your TV to your Wi-Fi so the TV doesn’t bother you constantly, and shut off access outside your network at the router level.

Ummm why even connect it at all...let the dumb thing stay offline

so your TV doesn't bother you.

Many TVs have a constant "no wifi connection" visual error if it's not connected.
