Your LG Smart TV can connect to your home WiFi network so you can stream movies, TV shows, and other content from the internet. 

Here at Fixwebnode, we shall look into how to connect a WiFi Network to your LG Smart TV running webOS and Netcast platform.

LG TVs released after 2014 will be equipped with webOS software, and those released between 2011 and 2015 will feature NetCast.

What you need:

You must have the Wireless Network Name (SSID) and Wireless Network Key (Password) to connect to a wireless network.

Most wireless routers / gateways are supplied with a label at the back that contains the default credentials. If you cannot locate them on the label, then the device documentation should help. 

Should you require your Wireless Network name (SSID) and Key, the setup sheet left by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) when they installed your wireless router or gateway could have this information. 

Alternatively, you can get in touch with your ISP or Router OEM for assistance.

How to troubleshoot LG Smart TV WiFi connection issues ?

Here are some troubleshooting tips for LG Smart TV WiFi connection issues:

1. Check the WiFi signal strength. Make sure that your TV is within range of your WiFi router. You can do this by checking the WiFi signal strength on your TV's settings menu. If the signal strength is weak, try moving your TV closer to your router.

2. Restart your TV and router. Sometimes, a simple restart can fix WiFi connection issues. Turn off your TV and router for at least 30 seconds, then turn them back on.

3. Update your TV's firmware. Outdated firmware can sometimes cause WiFi connection problems. Check to see if there is a firmware update available for your TV. You can do this by going to the Settings menu on your TV and selecting All Settings. Then, select General - About This TV - Check for Updates.

4. Change the WiFi channel. If you are using a dual-band WiFi router, you can try changing the WiFi channel. The 2.4GHz band is more crowded than the 5GHz band, so you may have better luck connecting to the 5GHz band. To change the WiFi channel, go to the Settings menu on your router and select Wireless. Then, select Channel and choose a different channel.

5. Reset your TV's network settings. If you have tried all of the above and you are still having trouble connecting to WiFi, you can try resetting your TV's network settings. This will erase all of your WiFi settings, so you will need to reconnect to your WiFi network again. To reset your TV's network settings, go to the Settings menu on your TV and select All Settings. Then, select General - Reset - Reset Network Settings.

6. Make sure that your WiFi router is using the latest firmware.

7. Check to see if there are any other devices that are using a lot of bandwidth on your WiFi network. If so, try disconnecting those devices and see if that fixes the problem.

8. If you are using a VPN, try disabling it and see if that fixes the problem.
