Using LG SmartThinQ 
Application
Things to check before using LG 
SmartThinQ
 • For appliances with the   or   logo
1
Check the distance between the appliance 
and the wireless router (Wi-Fi network).
 • If the distance between the appliance and 
the wireless router is too far, the signal 
strength becomes weak. It may take a 
long time to register or installation may 
fail.
2
Turn off the Mobile data or Cellular Data 
on your smartphone.
 • For iPhones, turn data off by going to 
Settings → Cellular → Cellular Data.
3
Connect your smartphone to the wireless 
router.
NOTE
 • To verify the Wi-Fi connection, check that 
Wi-Fi   icon on the control panel is lit.
 • The appliance supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 
networks only. To check your network 
frequency, contact your Internet service 
provider or refer to your wireless router 
manual.
 • LG SmartThinQ is not responsible for any 
network connection problems or any faults, 
malfunctions, or errors caused by network 
connection.
 • If the appliance is having trouble connecting to 
the Wi-Fi network, it may be too far from the 
router. Purchase a Wi-Fi repeater (range 
extender) to improve the Wi-Fi signal strength.
 • The Wi-Fi connection may not connect or may 
be interrupted because of the home network 
environment.
 • The network connection may not work 
properly depending on the Internet service 
provider.
 • The surrounding wireless environment can 
make the wireless network service run slowly.
 • The appliance cannot be registered due to 
problems with the wireless signal 
transmission. Unplug the appliance and wait 
about a minute before trying again.
 • If the firewall on your wireless router is 
enabled, disable the firewall or add an 
exception to it.
 • The wireless network name (SSID) should be 
a combination of English letters and numbers. 
(Do not use special characters.)
 • Smartphone user interface (UI) may vary 
depending on the mobile operating system 
(OS) and the manufacturer.
 • If the security protocol of the router is set to 
WEP, you may fail to set up the network. 
Please change it to other security protocols 
(WPA2 is recommended) and register the 
product again.
