LG SmartThinQ Application
The LG SmartThinQ application allows you to
communicate with the appliance using a smartphone.
Before Using LG SmartThinQ
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.
NOTE
•
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.
•
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 for about a minute, then plug
in the appliance and try 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
,
network setup may fail. Change the security
protocol (
WPA2
is recommended), and register the
product again.
