To turn on Wi‑Fi on an LG Smart TV, you use the Settings menu, go to Network, and enable the Wi‑Fi connection, then pick your home network and enter the password.

Basic Wi‑Fi setup (most models)

  • Press the Home or Settings gear button on your LG remote to open the settings menu.
  • Go to All Settings (full menu) if a small sidebar appears.
  • Open Network.
  • Select Wi‑Fi Connection or Wireless.
  • Make sure the Wi‑Fi switch is ON (often shows as a green toggle or “Wi‑Fi connection: On”).
  • Wait for the list of available networks, choose your home Wi‑Fi name (SSID) , enter the password, and confirm Connect/OK.

Once it connects, you should see a confirmation and the Wi‑Fi icon showing as connected.

If you don’t have the magic remote

  • Some older remotes use a Settings or Menu button instead of a wheel icon; use that to open the main settings screen.
  • Navigate with the arrow keys to Settings → Network → Wi‑Fi Connection , then turn Wi‑Fi on and connect as above.

Quick “Wi‑Fi turned off” fixes

If the Wi‑Fi option is greyed out or won’t turn on, users and support guides suggest these checks:

  • Power cycle the TV
    • Turn the TV off and unplug it for 30–60 seconds, then plug it back in and try Wi‑Fi again.
  • Turn off Quick Start / Simplink (if present)
    • Go to Settings → All Settings → General and disable Quick Start or similar fast-boot options, then power cycle the TV.
  • Check Location setting
    • Go to All Settings → General → Location → LG Service Country , temporarily pick a different country, let the TV reset, then set your real country again.

If after these steps the Wi‑Fi switch still won’t turn on, some guides note the internal Wi‑Fi module or board can be faulty and may need service.
