  If the access point is not displayed on the “Access point name” list of your LG Blu-ray Player, it could be that the access point or wireless LAN router may not broadcast its SSID. Set your access point to broadcast its SSID through your computer. Also, your network device such as access point may not set with available frequency range and channel that this player can support; try setting the frequency range and channel on the network device setting.
