The Wi-Fi module in my LG TV, roughly 5 or six years old, (WebOS UJ6300) is apparently broken.  I am looking for a solution cheaper and maybe more interesting than having the TV repaired.  There are devices which will pick up Wi-Fi, convert it to ethernet, and deliver it to the male  part of an ethernet port.  In the past I have used such a device to provide Wi-Fi support to a desktop computer which did not have Wi-Fi support but did have an ethernet port.  I forget the particulars, but it did work just fine. But a smart TV with Web 0S is not a desktop or laptop computer.  My concern is how to provide the SSID and password to the device.  My vague recollection is that such a device in a laptop or desktop computer can trigger a dialogue which requests the SSID and password.  But will web OS provide such a dialogue?  If I recall correctly, wired ethernet connections do not require SSIDs or passwords.

 

Thanks,  Bob

      It is unprofessional on part of LG TV that they do not resolve the basic issue of adding app gCmob in their app store.

      I can't connect my office camera via Wi-Fi to LG-TV. No body in LG TV technical team is proactive in resolving the issue of customer. They are more happy to befool the customers, rather than looking for technical solution through wider thinking.
      Please talk to you top management and make a visit to our office to understand the customers plight..
      Please respond to customers needs.

      PrimeFocus and Marshall Health Network Collaborate on New Healthcare Service Solution
      By News Reporter
      Huntington, W.Va., Aug. 26, 2024 – Marshall Health Network, Inc., a leading West Virginia-based academic health system, announces a new digital health collaboration with Primefocus Health. Together, they plan to offer a customized healthcare service solution to address key regional healthcare issues such as rural healthcare access, obesity, healthy aging and substance abuse.
      Primefocus Health, which launched earlier this year in collaboration with LG NOVA, the LG Electronics North America Innovation Center, aims to enable providers to deliver a personalized, complete care experience and improve access to quality healthcare, which is particularly important in rural communities. The Primefocus Health platform will help Marshall Health Network meet the needs of 1.4 million residents across 40 counties in West Virginia, southern Ohio and eastern Kentucky.
      This new provider-focused, patient-centric healthcare solution will use innovative, non-invasive technology and remote monitoring capabilities to understand patient progress for multiple medical conditions and deliver healthcare therapies directly to patients in their homes. The solution will help healthcare providers effectively manage outcomes and provide assistance, guidance, communication and intervention via the internet, through an app-based patient portal to deliver quality care to patients.
      Primefocus Health will start the collaboration with Marshall Health Network in September, with development throughout the next year and a planned patient rollout in 2025.
      The collaboration between Marshall Health Network and Primefocus is focused on delivering solutions that improve patients’ health through a remote healthcare solution that addresses:
      Rural Health: Enhance healthcare delivery in rural areas by enabling greater access to healthcare. Obesity: Help reduce obesity rates by using technology to promote nutrition, education, physical activity programs and behavioral health support. Healthy Aging: Promote healthy aging by utilizing technology solutions that offer greater access to preventive care, chronic disease management and wellness initiatives tailored to the needs of older adults. Substance Use Disorder: Expand access to evidence-based treatments and support services for individuals struggling with substance use disorder, with a focus on opioid addiction and recovery resources. “We value this new collaboration that empowers patients to have greater access and participate in their daily health care. These convenient services and tools allow patients to receive the right care, at the right time, in the right setting to achieve better outcomes and quality of life,” said Marshall Health Network CEO Kevin W. Yingling, R.Ph., M.D. “Our work with Primefocus Health supports access to comprehensive healthcare services leading to better patient outcomes.”
      “We’re on the path to transform healthcare by giving people greater access to personalized care, empowering them to take an active role in improving their health,” said Darren Sabo, CEO of Primefocus Health. “Working with Marshall Health Network enables us to be front and center in tackling key healthcare issues of West Virginia and rural Appalachia, as we build out solutions to best fit and serve people’s needs and get them access to care that will help them live healthier and better lives.”

      Issues with LG TV and weird WiFi behaviour
      By Guest
      I recently bought a new router (Unify Dream Router) and after a couple of weeks of struggle, I managed to set it up with my ISP's VDSL connection (FFTC) using a third party modem in bridge mode (NETGEAR D6400).
      Everything seemed to be working fine until I realised I couldn't open the Netflix app on my LG Smart TV. After a bit of investigation, I realised nothing except for YouTube and the Browser was working. Just to make this clear: the WiFi connects fine, I can access all websites through the LG Browser, and I have no issues with YouTube, but nothing else works.
      All the regular streaming apps fail to open and, most importantly, the LG Content Store fails to load. Before I fixed my network, the tv was working fine. If I switch to my phone's hotspot, everything works fine.
      Things that I've tried:
      factory resetting the tv leaving the tv unplugged to delete cache using google's DNS on the TV using a wired connection  Having said so, I am so lost that I would be happy to try anything again.

      Wifi issue
      By loafty
      Tv  connects to wifi and can stay connected for couple of days then I will switch tv on and internet (wifi) will be disconnected so go to connect up again and tv can't find any networks so turn off and unplug from power wait 5 to 10 minutes then plug all back in go to wifi settings might be lucky to find my network select and enter password and works again. Only thing is I got a different modem from internet provider and they have told me that the modem is working fine but I have never had an issue like this with tv before. Tv states wifi is turned off but I can't find anywhere that I can turn wifi on in the tv, does anyone know ?? Tried calling LG didn't get much help at all, I am 71 years old and just want my tv working the way it should so hope someone can help. Thanks
