Almost everyone is now accustomed to using the Internet, and connecting to a Wi-Fi network has become commonplace. All modern LG TVs support both wired and wireless Internet connections. The setup is quite simple and requires no special knowledge. The only caveat is that the setup process may vary for TVs from different model years due to changes made to the operating system.

Setting up Wi-Fi on an LG TV
Setting up a Wi-Fi connection on LG TVs is quite simple; you can connect quickly and easily. Your router must be turned on—these days, they’re usually always on.
Press the “Settings” button on the remote control.
Follow this path on the screen: “All Settings” → “General” → “Network” → “Wi-Fi Connection.”
Once the search is complete, a list of available networks will appear. Select the desired network; if your wireless router has a password, enter it.
If you want to simplify the setup, you can use additional connection methods that do not require a password. To do this, select “Other Network Settings.”
Connecting via WPS-PBC allows you to quickly establish a connection if your router supports this feature. Press the WPS-PBC button on the router, then select “Connect” on your device. The TV and router will automatically establish a connection.
Connecting via WPS-PIN requires entering a PIN code if your router supports this feature. Select the access point you want to connect to and enter the PIN code set on the Wi-Fi router.
In the advanced Wi-Fi settings after connecting, you can view network information, such as the TV’s IP address on your home network. You can also change the IP address and DNS server by selecting “Change.” However, in most cases, you won’t need to do this.
The hidden Wi-Fi network setup feature allows you to connect to a network that does not appear in the general list. In this case, you must manually enter the network name, password, and encryption type.
