[LG WebOS TVs] How To Setup Your Internet Connection - WebOS 6.0

There are several ways to connect to the internet in this video. There is a shortcut to the internet connectivity option in the TV settings.

Click on All Settings then General Settings then Network.

If you can't find the shortcut, there are two major ways to connect to the internet.

To use the network via wired connection you must connect the LAN cable directly to the TV.

Another option is to use a wireless connection. Make sure your wireless router is active and running.

After enabling the wireless connection option, from the search results select the name of the wireless router. The password must be entered correctly.

There are other network connection options if you cannot connect using this process, or if you have other network protocols.

You can manually enter the name S S I D of a hidden wireless network from this menu.

Select the correct security type then connect with a valid password.

The second option is to connect using a W P S enabled router.

Thirdly, you can connect via W P S pin if your router supports it.

Additionally advanced settings allow us to manually configure the network such as entering the I P and D N S server addresses.

Click the edit icon to make the change.

Configure manually by disabling auto assign.

Now that all the settings are editable, they need to be properly configured to work with the router.

After you've finished, click connect.
