isilver Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Hi I've got an LG 60LA8600 TV that is about a year old, I'm having problems getting it to connect to my wi-fi network. It has connected in the past but right now it's just not doing it for me. I've got 3 wifi networks (long story) it can see them all but no matter how many times i enter the wi-fi password it is rejected and throws me back to the setup screen. I know the password is correct because i set it up myself and with a handful of iPads, iPhones and MacBook Pros in the house never have any problems connecting - and because my 12 year old child can't get it to work either . It's such a pain manually entering passwords with the remote to have them rejected without explanation :-( I'd use the smartphone app but of course i need to be able to connect to it to do so! I have previously managed to connect because the software has been updated quite a few times over the period i have had it, i think it looses the connection with each software update. Any thoughts or suggestions will be gratefully heard.
pgdownload Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Try switching to DHCP mode (where the router assigns the IP configuration to the TV - you'll need to configure the router to do this) Or if already in DHCP mode, try hard coding the IP address / gateway etc. Many devices work fine in one mode but not in the other.

Berzo Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Also maybe try and switch your encryption on the router from wpa2 to just wpa or tkip.....see if it helps
isilver Posted October 13, 2014 Author Posted October 13, 2014 Don't ya hate these things! I just went into the settings to try putting a static IP address on it and the TV was connected to the network! Thanks for the suggestions folks!
