WiFi is turned off

[Nikhil Bijinapally]

My LG webos lj554t tv says WiFi is turned off whenever I try to connect WiFi . What should I do to solve this problem

Hey Nikhil, your problem seems to be with the WiFi circuit of the TV.  But before that just try to reset your TV to factory setting. If it resolves your problem then good. You are not the only one facing this issue.

If resetting does not solve the issue then I suggest you call LG service and ask the guy to change the WiFi circuit.

There have been several threads about this issue, which may be a a fatal  flaw in LG Smart TVs. Here’s the rundown of solutions:

1. Unplug TV, wait 30 seconds and plug it back in. Go to Settings/Network and see if any WiFi networks are listed. Pick your home network and enter network password if necessary. If that doesn’t work.......

2. Go to Settings/General and select Time &Date - set it to manual. Turn TV off and back on. If you don’t get your WiFi back......

3 Go to Settings/General and select Quick Start - turn it off. Turn TV off and back on. If it’s still not working....

4. Purchase a ROKU for $40, it’s simple to set up and is simply better for making your TV able to stream effectively. 

Each of the solutions  1-3 above worked temporarily on my TV, but after 2 weeks of fussing around with the LG system, I went the ROKU route, and never looked back.

Here is the only fix I know of:
