• 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.
• The surrounding wireless environment can
make the wireless network service run slowly.
• If the distance between the appliance and the
wireless router is too far, the signal becomes
weak. It may take a long time to connect or fail
to install the application.
• 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 network connection may not work properly
depending on the Internet service provider.
• The Wi-Fi may not connect or the connection
may be interrupted because of the home
network environment.

problems with the wireless signal transmission,
unplug the appliance and wait about a minute
before trying again.

disable the firewall or add an exception to it.

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.

WEP, network setup may fail. Change the
security protocol (WPA2 is recommended), and
connect the product again.

Wi-Fi button for 3 seconds. The Wi-Fi indicator
will be turned off.
