To set up LG TV to wireless network, press the Settings button on your remote, select All Settings, then navigate to General > Network > Wi‑Fi Connection. Your TV will scan for available networks; choose your network name and enter the password using the on-screen keyboard to complete the connection.
How to set up LG TV to wireless network: the quick menu path
The exact documented steps for most LG webOS TVs are: press the Settings button on the remote, select All Settings, then go to General > Network > Wi‑Fi Connection. The TV will scan for available wireless networks. Select your network from the list and enter the Wi‑Fi password on the TV’s on-screen keyboard. After entering the password, the TV should connect to Wi‑Fi. Confirm that the TV is connected to the internet after setup.
Alternate menu paths on older LG TVs
On some webOS versions and older models, LG documents alternate paths. You may find the network settings under Connection > Network Connection Settings > Wi‑Fi Connection or Connection > Wireless Network Connection. The menu names vary by webOS version and page, with Wi‑Fi Connection, Wireless Connection, and Wireless Network Connection all appearing in LG documentation.
Connect using WPS‑PBC
If your router supports WPS-PBC, you can connect without entering a password. Press the router’s WPS-PBC button, then press the TV’s Connect button. The TV will join the network automatically. This is an LG-documented method for models that support it.
What you need before you start
The only LG-documented prerequisite is a wireless router or access point. If the TV was previously set up for a wireless network, you can check and connect to available wireless Internet networks from the network settings screen.
Troubleshooting when the TV won't connect
If the internet connection has issues, LG directs users to their internet service provider for assistance. You can also re-use the Wi‑Fi Connection menu from General > Network > Internet Connection when fixing connection issues. LG's network help pages describe using Wi‑Fi Connection again from General > Network > Internet Connection when fixing connection issues. Check signal strength and ensure the TV is within range of the router. If the network does not appear, verify that the router is broadcasting its SSID and that the TV is not out of range.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do all LG TVs support Wi‑Fi?
Most modern LG smart TVs have built-in Wi‑Fi capabilities. Older models may require a separate wireless adapter. Check your TV’s specifications to confirm.
Can I connect multiple LG TVs to the same wireless network?
Yes, each TV will require its own network connection setup, but all can connect to the same Wi‑Fi network. The number of TVs is limited only by your router’s capacity.
What if I can't find my wireless network on the LG TV?
Ensure the router is on, the TV is in range, restart the TV, or manually enter the hidden network SSID and password.
How do I connect my LG TV to a hidden network?
If your network is hidden, you will need to manually enter the network name (SSID) and password.
Why is my LG TV losing the wireless connection?
Possible causes include poor Wi-Fi signal strength, interference from other devices, firmware/software issues needing an update, or router/network configuration problems. Try moving the TV closer or using a Wi-Fi range extender.
Why does my LG TV keep dropping the wireless connection?
Possible causes include poor signal strength, interference from other devices, or router issues. Try moving the TV closer to the router, reducing interference, or restarting both the TV and the router. If the problem persists, contact your internet service provider.
Can I use my phone to set up the Wi‑Fi on my LG TV?
The TV is set up from the TV menus using the remote, not from a phone app. The LG ThinQ app is used for registering or controlling a TV, not for making the TV join Wi‑Fi.
