Are you wondering if there is a way to connect the LG TV to WiFi without a remote? The answer is yes. Whether you want to forget a WiFi network or wish to set up a new wireless connection on an LG TV, the following alternatives will help. This article demonstrates the steps to connect the LG TV to WiFi using TV buttons, remote apps, and a keyboard.
Connect LG to WiFi Using Physical Buttons
If your LG TV has a dedicated Settings button on its panel, you can use it to access the network settings and connect it to WiFi. You can use this method to connect your LG TV to an open WiFi to avoid entering the password using the TV button. If your LG TV doesn’t have buttons, as shown in the image below, try the next method.
Use the IR Remote App to Connect the LG TV to the WiFi
Though LG TV has a standalone remote app, LG ThinQ, it can’t be used without WiFi. As an alternative, use the IR remote app on an Android phone, which works using infrared signals. All you require is an Android phone with a built-in IR blaster. Some of the best infrared remote apps to control your LG TV are as follows.
After the installation, run the IR remote app and pick a suitable remote. Then, point your phone towards your TV and press the Power button. Your TV will turn off if the command works. Then, turn the TV back on and use the remote interface to connect your LG TV to WiFi.
1. Go to the Settings menu on your LG TV.
2. Click on the Network option and tap Network Settings.
3. Then, select WiFi Connection and choose your local WiFi Network.
4. Enter your WiFi Password and tap Connect. Once connected, a tick mark will appear near the name of your WiFi network.
Use a Wireless Keyboard to Connect the LG TV to the WiFi
If you have a wireless keyboard or a mouse, you can use one of them as a remote to connect the LG TV to WiFi. The device will come with a USB dongle, which you need to connect to the LG TV’s USB port.
Later, you can use the mouse pointer and the navigation keys to access the Settings menu. Then, pick the Network option, select your WiFi connection name, and enter the Password using the keyboard. Your LG TV will now be paired to WiFi.
Connect the LG TV to a Wired Internet Connection Using an Ethernet Cable
If you need a simple way to establish an internet connection on the LG TV, you can use an ethernet cable. Connect one end of the cable to your WiFi router and the other end to your LG TV. Next, you need to change the Network Settings. Head to Settings → General → Network → Wired Connection (Ethernet).
After setting it up, you can control your LG TV using the LG ThinQ app. To do so, you should pair your TV with the LG ThinQ app.
