LG is a large electronic company that is popular for its home appliance. Its products are of high quality and complete all the smart home requirements. Lg television is a perfect combination that full fills the smart life of people. However, not everything is perfect. There is some bug or problem that prevents some functions on tv.

- Weak wireless signal: When your tv and router are far from each other, the wireless signal gets weakened. The signal should be strong enough to connect properly with the tv.
- Wrong Date and Time: To work internet Tv should set the date and time according to the correct time zone of a particular area. The Internet won’t work if the date and time are set wrong.
- Outdated Firmware: Some function starts malfunctioning when the tv hasn’t been updated for a long time. The update replaces the old function by bringing a new function.
- Using 5GHz frequency: If you are connected to a 5GHz network, the tv keeps disconnecting when the router and tv are far. 5GHz frequency has a small range.
- Functions preventing WiFi: Some features like Quickstart and data saver are turned on. However, both features turn off the wifi if it is not used.

How to Fix Lg Smart Tv Keeps Disconnecting From WiFi
You can easily fix the disconnecting issue and keep WiFi connected every time. In some cases even forgetting the network won’t solve the issue but the given tips can easily fix the disconnecting problem on your specific model LG tv.
Method 1: Power Cycle Tv and Router
First of all, We have to completely shut down both the Tv and the router. To debug the generic bug and glitch. For instance, a temporary issue disappears after a complete shutdown.
Make sure you unplug your Tv and router but do not disconnect the ethernet cable. You only have to unplug the power cord of both the router and the tv. After that, wait for 10 to 15 minutes.
Again plug the power cord back into the wall socket. Once both devices finish booting up, connect to the wifi, and observe whether it disconnects.
Method 2: Turn Off Quick Start Feature
After the updates, many features are enabled by default. Most of the users are unaware of some features. However, quick start features prevent the connection setup from working properly. Following are the step-by-step ways to turn off a quick start:
- Go to Settings.
- Navigate to All settings and then select General.
- Select Quickstart and then Turn it off.

Now, power cycles your Tv and connect wifi. Check if it remains or disconnects.

Simplink features also interfere with connectivity. Disabling sampling on the tv process is:
- Press the Menu button on the remote and then go to Settings.
- Navigate to All settings and then select General.
- Select Simplink and then Turn it off.
Method 4: Remove the USB from the Tv
If your tv is attached to the USB, there may be changes in the network or signal interference. Better to remove it from the tv in case of the tv connect wifi permanently. Remove the USB and then connect wifi.
Method 5: Check the Time Zone and Date
When your tv has some other place’s time zone, it means the time is affected. However, the date has also been altered. Having another time zone affects the connectivity because the router has a lease expiration.
- Press Setting on the remote.
- Select All Settings and then select General.
- Select Time and Date.
Set the correct date and time according to your time zone. If everything is fine then there may be another reason for disconnecting wifi.
Method 6: Hard Line to Modem
If your tv is not getting a signal then use ethernet. You can directly connect the ethernet cord to the router to the tv. However, there is another method to connect using WPS Pin. To do that follow the instructions:
- Press Setting on the remote and then All Settings.
- Select Network and then WiFi connection.
- Now, select Connect via WPS PIN.

I have tried all these and it still disconnects. Please HELP me.. my children can’t watch cartoons without it disconnecting and it’s driving us all round the bend.
If WiFi is not connecting on your smart, try connecting tv with an ethernet cable. In addition, the smart tv performs better on a wired connection.
My tv keeps disconnecting and this time it won’t connect at all it says my WiFi is turned off and doesn’t display my home WiFi when I go to network. I have J6300 model
You can connect to internet via Ethernet.

Have used all troubleshooting methods including Ethernet cable & still having same issue!!
Is this an LG problem??? I have other brand TVs in house & it doesn’t occur. Won’t buy LG again !
You can contact the LG Support for further assistance!
Ive had this same problem for the past 4 years but this past year it’s gotten so much worse can’t watch a show more than 15 mins without it disconnecting and not working. Just switch from LG. It’s sad that my Walmart Onn brand TV functions flawlessly compared to the LG. I had 0 issues the first couple months with my LG tv can’t believe I paid $800 for the piece of crap. I only keep it because I have my DVD player connected to it and it hopes that one day I will find a solution plus it’s. 65” and to get another 65” ain’t cheap. I will never buy another LG product ever again. Waste of money.
Please contact the LG support for solving this issue. They will certainly help you.
Same thing here! Both my 2 LG TVs also keeps constantly disconnecting from wifi now. It’s only started recently and none of my other devices in the house have the issue. I’ve tried all the steps recommended above 100 times and am SIC of it.
