WHY IS MY LG TV NOT CONNECTING TO INTERNET?
Having a Smart TV that won’t connect to the internet can be a real pain to bear but this problem would have a root cause. Here are some reasons why your TV won’t connect to the internet and provided solutions;
Wrong inputted password during password fill-in.
* Ensure that the password you input for access to the server is the correct one that matches the server. So it is advised that you enable the visibility option so as to monitor the password input to avoid a wrong password fill-in. Or better still disable the password option from your server but unwanted linkup from unknown sources is a risk.
Connected to the wrong Wi-Fi server.
* Monitor the WiFi server list presented to you during the initial linkup with your WiFi server. Ensure to take note of the correct name of your WiFi server. If connected to the wrong server, shut down everything and restart the WiFi connection process.
– In the case of a wired connection; faulty Ethernet cable.
* During the case of a wired connection, make sure that the Ethernet connection cable in use is not faulty by testing it out on other devices like your mobile phone or computer.
Faulty LAN port on your TV or Router.
* If you are sure that the Ethernet connection cable is good, maybe even still new, test out the LAN ports on both your TV and router for any fault. If there is perhaps a fault, reach out to the LG technicians in your location but if there is no LG service center in your location, carefully search for a genuine technician that has experience with LG products.
Distance and Interference
* Ensure that the distance between your TV and WiFi service is not more than 6 or 5 ft away. And ensure that there is no interference during connection from other home alliances like microwaves, radios, other WiFi servers, etc.
Defective or faulty Wi-Fi server.
* If you have made use of the above options to no avail, try to check out your WiFi server with another device like your mobile phone to see if it connects. If it does not, then the problem is from your WiFi server and that means you have to make use of another WiFi server.
Expired Internet access
* A factor that can make your TV from not connecting could be your expired internet plan on your WiFi server. So check to be sure that your subscription has not expired and if it has expired, renew your internet plan and try again.
Faulty Service from GSM Sim server
