Symptoms

Possible Cause & Solution

Your home appliance 

and smartphone are 

not connected to the 

Wi-Fi network.

The password for the Wi-Fi that you are trying to connect to is incorrect.

•  Find the Wi-Fi network connected to your smartphone and remove it, then 

register your appliance on 

LG ThinQ

.

Mobile data for your smartphone is turned on.

•  Turn off the 

Mobile data

 of your smartphone and register the appliance 

using the Wi-Fi network.

The wireless network name (SSID) is set incorrectly.

•  The wireless network name (SSID) should be a combination of English 

letters and numbers. (Do not use special characters.)

The router frequency is not 2.4 GHz.

•  Only a 2.4 GHz router frequency is supported. Set the wireless router to 2.4 

GHz and connect the appliance to the wireless router. To check the router 

frequency, check with your Internet service provider or the router 

manufacturer.

The distance between the appliance and the router is too far.

•  If the distance between the appliance and the router is too far, the signal 

may be weak and the connection may not be configured correctly. Move 

the location of the router so that it is closer to the appliance.
