If your LG TV is having trouble connecting to or staying connected to Wi-Fi, try these steps to troubleshoot and resolve the issue.

1. Perform a Soft Reset
Unplug the TV from power and leave it unplugged for at least a minute (longer is better). This allows residual electricity to dissipate and can help the TV run more smoothly.

2. Check Wi-Fi Signal Strength
If your Wi-Fi signal is weak:

  • Run a speed test on the TV using its web browser (e.g., speedtest.net) or use your phone near the TV to check signal strength.
  • Consider adding a Wi-Fi extender or relocating your router for better coverage.

3. Manage Network Congestion
If your network is overloaded with connected devices:

  • Open your router’s app (e.g., Google Home) to view all connected devices.
  • Disconnect any unnecessary devices to free up bandwidth.

4. Verify Wi-Fi Credentials
Ensure your Wi-Fi password is correct:

  • Go to the TV’s Network section in settings.
  • Check for a connection with strong signal bars and a checkmark next to your Wi-Fi network.

5. Update Your TV Software
Outdated software can cause connectivity issues:

  • Navigate to Support > Software Update in the TV’s settings.
  • Turn on Allow Automatic Updates and check for updates manually.

6. Restart or Reset Your Router
If the router is the issue:

  • Unplug it for at least 60 seconds and plug it back in.
  • Use your router’s app to restart the network if this option is available.

7. Factory Reset the TV (Last Resort)
If all else fails, reset the TV to its initial settings:

  • Go to Support > Reset to Initial Settings. Note that this will erase your preferences and settings.

8. Use a Wired Connection
For the most reliable connection, connect your TV directly to the router using an Ethernet cable if possible.
