Check the distance between the appliance
and the wireless router (Wi-Fi network).
•
If the distance between the appliance and
the wireless router is too far, the signal
strength becomes weak. It may take a
long time to register or installation may fail.

Mobile data
or

manual.

LG SmartThinQ 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.

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.

Smartphone user interface (UI) may vary
depending on the mobile operating system
(OS) and the manufacturer.
