Before Using LG ThinQ 

Application

1

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.

2

Turn off the 

Mobile data

 or 

Cellular Data

 on 

your smartphone.

3

Connect your smartphone to the wireless 

router.

NOTE

•  To verify the Wi-Fi connection, check that the Wi-

Fi indicator 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.

•  The appliance cannot be registered due to 

problems with the wireless signal transmission. 

Unplug the appliance and wait about a minute 

before trying again.
