• 

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 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.

•  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 

depending on the mobile operating system (OS) 

and the manufacturer.

•  If the security protocol of the router is set to 

WEP

, you may fail to set up the network. Please 

change it to other security protocols (

WPA2

 is 

recommended) and register the product again.
