Whether you want to surf the Internet or stream your favorite show, you must have an active Wi-Fi connection on your LG TV. However, it can be quite intimidating to see a “Wi-Fi is turned off” message whenever you attempt to turn on the Wi-Fi, as it prevents you from scanning the available Wi-Fi networks or connecting to them.
While the issue mostly stems from a fault in the Wi-Fi module of your TV, adjusting a few settings on the TV can sometimes solve the problem. I have tried to cover all the fixes in this article.
Inspect the Wi-Fi Module For Faults
When you open up your TV, you will find a flat ribbon cable that connects the Wi-Fi module to the main board of your TV. Over time, these cables can get loose, causing communication issues between the Wi-Fi module and the main board.
As a result, the main board can not detect the Wi-Fi module and your LG TV says Wi-Fi is turned off.
Sometimes, even the dirt and debris deposited over the Wi-Fi module can be responsible for the error.
You need to open up the back panel of your TV and look for what might possibly be causing the issue.
If this does not work, the Wi-Fi module is probably non-functional or the ribbon cable is defective. Please take your TV to the authorized LG repair center for further troubleshooting.
Factory Reset Your TV
Factory reset is a last resort to solve any software-related glitches that are possibly preventing your LG TV from connecting to a Wi-Fi network.
A factory reset might not be a suitable option if you don’t want to lose the customized settings and applications installed on your TV. However, you may still keep a backup of anything important on the TV and initiate the factory reset process.
Fixes That Worked For Other Users
Many users were reportedly able toturn on Wi-Fi on their LG TVafter changing the location of the TV and disabling the Quick Start+ feature.
Although the fixes seem quite absurd, I also recommend you try these fixes and see if they work for you too.
