NOTE
• You may be asked to provide a password to
connect to the LG network (not your home
network) during the Wi-Fi setup. The password is
the last 4 characters of the network name,
repeated twice, with no spaces. For example, if
the network name appears as LG_XXXX_8b92,
then you would enter 8b928b92 as your
password. The password is case sensitive and
the last 4 characters are unique to your
appliance.
• To verify the Wi-Fi connection, check that the
icon on the control panel is lit.
• The appliance supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks
only. To check your network frequency, contact
your Internet service provider or refer to your
wireless router manual.
• LG ThinQ is not responsible for any network
connection problems or any faults, malfunctions,
or errors caused by network connection.
• If the appliance is having trouble connecting to
the Wi-Fi network, it may be too far from the
router. Purchase a Wi-Fi repeater (range
extender) to improve the Wi-Fi signal strength.
• The Wi-Fi connection may not connect or may be
interrupted because of the home network
environment.
• The network connection may not work properly
depending on the Internet service provider.
• The surrounding wireless environment can
make the wireless network service run slowly.
• If the appliance cannot be registered due to
problems with the wireless signal transmission,
unplug the appliance and wait about a minute
before trying again.
• If the firewall on your wireless router is enabled,
disable the firewall or add an exception to it.
• The wireless network name (SSID) should be a
combination of English letters and numbers. (Do
not use special characters.)
• Smartphone user interface (UI) may vary
depending on the mobile operating system (OS)
and the manufacturer.
• If the security protocol of the router is set to
WEP, network setup may fail. Change the
security protocol (WPA2 is recommended) and
connect the product again.
