  • If your LG TV says the WiFi is turned off but it isn't, and you see the "Turn it on to see the list of available networks" error, then you either have a basic software issue or something more serious. This video will help you troubleshoot the problem and hopefully fix it.

    I had to do the location change 8 or 9 times. Then cut the power for 45 minutes. Turned the t.v. back on and still didn't have Wi-Fi. But the next day when I turned the t.v. on the Wi-Fi was back on the t.v.! LG will drive you crazy!! Thank you for your help.

    Brilliant. The 'change location' reset worked a treat. After months (maybe years) of dodgy Wi-Fi connectivity our LG TV is now fully working without an internet cable and it took about 3 minutes to complete. I'm so grateful. And I'm impressed with the list of alternative fixes you have provided. Well done and many thanks.

    Somehow these steps actually worked! I won't say it wasn't frustrating to keep fiddling...moving it....waiting...turning it on and then have it start on wifi but go out again...but the step that somehow worked and I have no idea why really was when we took off the back of the TV. We unplugged the wifi , the ribbons were bent so I straightened them out a little, and then blew a few breaths on the parts in case there was dust. When I plugged it back in - it asked if I wanted to update the software and I said yes and this time it actually completed it. I moved it back to it's original place in the basement and it is all updated and working fine now. We were going to go buy a new one and this guy saved the environment and us some $. Thank you so much for the best video!!

    Thanks again!

    Goodness gracious. I have an LG from around 2017/2018. Nothing worked except taking the back cover off of the TV - Everything looked completely fine, except some dust I blew out. Nothing wrong with the wifi board, but I took it out and put it back in. Took forever to get the tv backing back on. But somehow that worked!

    Only #4 worked for me. I have the SK8000PUA 55”. I took the back panel off unplugged the ribbon cable at the bottom blew it out. Then I cut the blue tape holding the ribbon cables together and took the tape off separating them. I took a can of air and blew off all the circuit boards. Put the panel back on and hooked everything back up and IT WORKED! The tv and remote work better thank ever. This is the only one that worked for me. 7/4/24

    I tried all the easy fixes in a number of videos and nothing worked. So I tried what I call the ultimate reset. My fios settop box, my audio amplifier, and my LG UK6500AUA tv are all connected to a power strip. Before going to bed, I flipped the power strip switch to off, making the whole setup a brick. In the morning I flipped the switch to on and gave the components a few minutes to power back up and that fixed the problem. My guess that it works because the tv never really goes completely off power in the standby mode.

    I had an extended warranty and this happened about 2 months before the extended warranty was set to expire. They fixed it. Well 2 years later the issue is back again. Only way I could keep connection was to actually hook a cat5 cable from the modem to the tv. Speed also increased too compared to the wifi connection.
