If your LG TV is not connecting to the internet, you may want to tell the network administrator your TV’s IP address to help them diagnose the issues with the network configuration. To find the IP address of the LG TV, grab the remote, go to the network settings, and check those details under the connection status. But what if you don’t have the LG TV remote with you? This section illustrates other possible techniques for identifying your LG TV’s IP address in the absence of a remote.
Use the TV Unit Buttons to Find the LG TV’s IP Address
The quickest technique to view your LG TV’s IP address is using TV buttons. If your LG TV has only one Power button, you cannot access the Settings menu. However, if your LG TV has a Menu button, you can use it to open the network settings and then view the IP address.
Once you press the menu, navigate to Settings → Choose All Settings → Select General → Click Network → Select Wired or WiFi connection → Click Other Network → Tap Advanced WiFi Settings → See your LG TV’s IP address.
Find the IP Address of the LG TV Using the Remote App
You can turn your mobile phone into a controller using the remote app available for your LG TV. There is an official remote app from LG named LG ThinQ that helps you control all the LG smart home appliances, including TVs. You can install this application on your handheld device via the App Store or Play Store.
After installing the app, launch it on your smartphone. Next, you need to pair your LG TV with the app. For that, your LG TV and phone should be on the same WiFi. Once your devices get paired, you can use the LG ThinQ remote app to find the LG TV’s IP address.
1. Hit the Home key on the LG ThinQ app remote interface.
2. Find the Web Browser and launch it on your LG TV.
3. On the search field of the browser, enter whatismyipaddress.com using the app’s on-screen keyboard and tap Done.
4. You can now find the IP address of your LG TV on the home page of the website.
Alternatively, try using the IR-based remote app to find your TV’s IP address. These IR remote apps can control your TV using infrared signals. Hence, you don’t need to pair the TV and phone to the same WiFi. The following are IR remote apps you can use to control your LG TV.
After installing the app, use the remote layout to open the web browser and find the TV’s IP address by visiting whatismyipaddress.com.
Use a Wireless Keyboard to Find the IP Address of the LG TV Without Remote
If you have a wireless keyboard, you can use it to control your LG TV and find the IP address. Like the LG Magic Remote, you can use the keyboard’s touchpad as an air mouse and use it as a remote. To get started, plug the USB dongle of your wireless keyboard into the port of your LG TV. Once you get a mouse pointer on the TV screen, proceed with the following steps.
Using a keyboard as a remote, you can run the browser on your LG TV and visit whatismyipaddress.com to know the IP address. If your LG TV doesn’t have a browser, you can go to the TV settings to see the IP address.
Visit the Router Website to Know the IP Address of the LG TV
If you use a wireless connection, you can check out the router’s portal to find your LG TV’s IP address.
1. Launch the browser on your laptop or desktop and visit the router login page.
Note: Contact your ISP to find out the exact website assigned to your router.
2. Input your router’s Username and Password and login to it.
3. Go to the Connected Devices option or DHCP Client List. Here, you will find all the details of the devices that are connected to your router.
4. Find your LG TV name from the list, and you can view your LG TV’s IP address correspondingly.
