smartphone.
Before Using LG SmartThinQ
•
For appliances with the

1
Use a smartphone to check the strength of
the wireless router (Wi-Fi network) near the
appliance.
•
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.
•
To verify the Wi-Fi connection, check that
Wi-Fi
icon 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 SmartThinQ is not responsible for any
network connection problems or any faults,
malfunctions, or errors caused by network
connection.
NOTE
•
The surrounding wireless environment can
make the wireless network service run
slowly.
•
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 connection may not connect or
may be interrupted because of the home
network environment.
•
If the appliance cannot be registered
due to 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. (Do not use special characters.)
•
Smartphone user interface (UI) may vary
dependingon the mobile operating system
(OS) and themanufacturer.
•
If the security protocol of the router is
set to
WEP
, network setup may fail.
Change the security protocol (
WPA2
is
recommended), and register the product
again.
