How To Fix LG TV Keeps Disconnecting From WiFi

Follow the below-mentioned simple tricks, and your LG TV WiFi issue will be resolved. If one fails, try another one.

Begin with restarting your LG TV. Restarting the device refreshes it and helps in delivering optimal performance.

3. Restart The Router

Consider refreshing your WiFi connection by restarting the router. Restarting the router repairs the connection and makes it work smoothly by deleting the unnecessarily stored data.

So, turn Off the router, disconnect it from the power source, wait a minute, and replug it.

4. Place Router Close To LG TV, Eliminate Obstacles & WiFi Interference

The reason is weak WiFi signals. You can try the following solutions.

Place Router Close To LG TV To Avoid Disconnection

Place the WiFi router close to your LG TV to ensure good signal strength.
Ensure no obstacles (walls or furniture) exist between your TV and the router.
Make sure no other wireless device is near your WiFi router. Its signals can interfere with the WiFi signals and make them weak.
Don’t let the bandwidth be congested. Minimize the number of devices connected to the same WiFi connection.

Note: This is the case, especially if you are using a 5GHz frequency. This frequency is more prone to signal interference and has a shorter range than 2.4GHz. Put the router close to the TV or switch to 2.4GHz for better signal strength.

5. Permit Complete Access To The Network

Your TV might keep losing the connection because it doesn’t have complete access to the network. To give it complete access, follow these steps.

Go to your router’s Settings menu
Find the section Access Control or Firewall Settings
There are some settings like MAC Filtering or Port Blocking that allow or block a specific device.
Disable these settings or add the MAC address of LG TV to the list of allowed devices.
Ensure your LG TV is connected to the correct WiFi and it has the correct password saved.

6. Disconnect External Devices

If you are facing LG TV internet disconnection again and again, the reason can be the external devices connected to your LG TV.

Remove all the connected devices like USB, PlayStation, or other streaming devices. Reconnect the WiFi, and I hope the problem must be resolved. If not, try the next method.

7. Adjust Date And Time

One of the reasons why your LG TV WiFi keeps turning off can be incorrect date and time adjustments. Usually, the TV updates its date and time automatically. However, due to some reasons, sometimes you need to do it manually.

Press Settings on your LG TV remote
Go to General
Choose a Date and Time
Adjust it manually according to your time zone.
Change the mode to Automatic if it is set to Manual

8. Disable WiFi Blocking Features

There is a feature called Quickstart in the LG TV that helps the TV to turn On quickly by keeping some components powered On.

Similarly, another feature named Simplink helps you to manage multiple external devices (attached to your LG TV) with one remote.

These features sometimes interfere with the WiFi signals and cause the TV to lose the WiFi connection repeatedly.

So, if you have enabled any of these features, disable them, and check if the issue is resolved. To disable it, follow these steps.

On your LG TV remote, press Settings
Go to All Settings
Go down and click on General
Select Additional Settings. Skip this step if your LG TV doesn’t show this option.
Press right and scroll down again. Click on Quick Start +

Turn the toggle button to Off

Similarly, you can turn the Simplink feature Off. Go to ‘Settings’ -> ‘All Settings’ -> ‘General’ -> ‘Simplink’ -> toggle Off.

Now turn Off your TV. Turn it On after 30 seconds and reconnect the WiFi. I hope your TV will work perfectly now. If it still drops WiFi signals or disconnects, it’s time to switch to a new connection.

9. Switch To Ethernet Cable Connection

Using an ethernet cable with the router not only improves the speed of WiFi but also prevents the device from interfering with other wireless signals. Despite connecting your device to the router wirelessly, how about connecting it via an ethernet cable?

It will definitely work positively!

Connect one end of the ethernet cable to the LAN port of your router while the other to the LAN port of your LG TV.
Press the Smart button on your LG TV remote.
Go to Network Options
Select Settings
Go to Network Connections
Click on ‘Smart Network’

10. Cross-Check Your TV By Connecting It To Mobile Hotspot

Sometimes your LG TV’s network connection shows ‘Connected to the Internet’, but you can’t stream the shows.

In such situations, you need to cross-check whether the problem is with your TV or the WiFi connection. To check this, you need to:

Turn the Hotspot of your mobile phone On.
If the phone shows three or more signal bars, it means the connection is good.
Now search in the TV’s wireless network connection menu for your mobile hotspot name.
Select the connection and enter the password.
Your TV is now connected to the mobile hotspot. Open any app and see if the internet is working properly with stable connectivity. If yes, then the problem is with your WiFi connection. Contact your ISP provider. But, if not, then your TV may have a software or hardware issue. Consult a technician.

11. Update LG TV Firmware

Outdated firmware can be a major reason behind constantly disconnecting internet connection. So, check for LG TV software updates.

Click Settings on the remote
Go to All Settings
Click on General
Select About This TV
Choose Check for Updates
Your TV will look for any available updates and will proceed with them if there are any.

Note: Ensure to enable ‘Automatic Update’ so that your system remains updated without causing any trouble in the future.

Before connecting your TV to the WiFi, power cycle it to get better results after updating.

FAQs

Why is my LG TV not connecting to WiFi?

Let’s quickly look over the most common reasons why your LG smart TV WiFi keeps disconnecting.

Poor WiFi signals
Outdated firmware
Signals interference
Incorrect date and time zone
Obstacles
Bandwidth issues
Enabled (Simplink or Quickstart) features

LG TV is connected to wifi, but the apps not working, why?

Piling up stored data (logs and IP addresses) on the router slows down the speed. Therefore, you need to refresh the connection between the devices by rebooting the network router.
Poor signal strength due to overburdening of devices, obstacles, or interferences from other wireless devices can also be the reason.

The Final Cut

I have mentioned some quick and easy tricks to make your LG TV WiFi connection stable and enjoy live streaming on your LG TV. However, if these methods fail to boost the signals, you can solve the issue by installing a new router, upgrading the existing one, or adding a booster or WiFi extender to your home. In this way, you can improve the signal strength of your WiFi connection. Despite all the efforts, if your LG TV keeps disconnecting from WiFi or not connecting internet, I suggest you contact the LG customer services team for a consultation.
