To troubleshoot your LG TV's Wi-Fi connection issue, follow these steps:
Access Network Settings:
- Press the Home button on your remote to access the Smarthome menu.
- Select Settings and press OK.
- Select All Settings and then Network.
- Choose Wi-Fi Connection. A list of available networks will be displayed. Choose your network and enter the security key if required.
- If the connection is successful, "Connected to Internet" will be displayed.
If the connection fails:
- Check the connection status of the TV, AP (Router), and cable modem.
- Power off and power on the devices in this order: cable modem, AP (Router), and then the TV.
- If using a static IP, enter the IP directly.
- Ensure the MAC address of the TV/AP (Router) is registered with your Internet service provider.
- Check the AP (Router) manufacturer's website for the latest firmware version and update if necessary.
Additional Tips:
- Move the Wi-Fi router closer to the TV or reduce interference from other devices operating in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz bandwidth.
- Check the signal strength of the Wi-Fi router from the TV UI. It is recommended to connect to a Wi-Fi network with 3 or more bars of signal strength.
- If the signal strength is weak, shorten the distance between the Wi-Fi router and the TV or check for obstructions (e.g., concrete walls, cabinets) between the two devices.
