Network Setting Warnings
Use standard LAN cable (connect to Cat7 or higher with RJ45 connector, 10 Base-T, or 100 Base TX LAN port). Resetting the router may cause network connection problems. In this case, the router will operate normally if you turn it off and disconnect the TV, and then reconnect and turn it on. LG Electronics is not responsible for network connectivity or operation failure due to problems such as equipment failure or disconnected lines. The network connection may not work properly because of network settings or the Internet service provider. DSL service must use a DSL modem; and cable service must use a cable modem. Since only a limited number of network connections may be available, TV network setting may not be used depending on the contract with Internet service provider. (If the contract does not allow more than one device per line, only the already-connected PC may be used.) A wireless network can experience interference from other devices that use the 2.4 GHz frequency (wireless phone, Bluetooth device, or microwave oven). Although interference can also happen when using the 5 GHz frequency, it is less likely to occur. The wireless environment can make wireless network service run slowly.
9

Using several wireless devices at the same time can slow your network. The access point device must support wireless connections and wireless connection feature must be enabled on the device to have AP (access point) connection. Contact the service provider for availability of wireless connections on the access point. Check SSID and security settings of the AP. Refer to the appropriate documentation for SSID and security settings of the AP. If the network is changed by moving the TV or changing the router, you must set up the wireless network again. Existing wireless network connections will not be saved. Invalid settings of network devices (wired/wireless line sharer, hub) can cause the TV to operate slowly or not operate properly. Install the devices correctly according to the appropriate manual and network. The connection method may differ depending on the AP manufacturer. To solve a problem related to this function, refer to the Troubleshooting section of User Guide.

Connecting USB
Connecting USB
Connect a USB storage device (USB HDD, USB stick) to the USB port on the TV to enjoy the content files stored on the USB storage device on your TV.
Tips for Using a USB Storage Device
A USB storage device that has a built-in automatic recognition programme or uses its own driver might not be recognisable. Some USB storage devices may not be supported or may not work properly. If you use a USB extension cable, the USB storage device may not be recognised or may not work properly. Please use only USB storage devices formatted with the FAT32, exFAT or NTFS file system provided by Windows OS. It is recommended that you use an external USB HDD with a rated voltage of 5 V or less and a rated current of 500 mA or less. If you use a device requiring a higher voltage/current than the rated voltage/current, it may not operate properly due to lack of current. It is recommended that you use a USB hub or USB storage device with a power supply. We recommend using a storage device with a capacity of 32 GB for the USB memory and 2 TB or less for the USB hard disk. If a USB HDD with power-saving function does not work, turn the hard drive off and on again to make it work properly. See the owner’s manual for the USB HDD for more information. Data on a USB storage device may be damaged, so it is recommended that you back up any important files. Users are responsible for data management. The manufacturer bears no responsibility. Press the button on the remote control. To remove the USB storage device, press the Eject button, which appears at the top when you focus on the USB storage device you want to remove. If you disconnect the USB storage device without selecting Eject, an error may occur in your TV or storage device. When you connect a USB storage device of a file system not supported by the TV to the USB IN port, the format message appears. To use the connected USB storage device, you should format the device first. Formatting deletes all data stored on the USB storage device, and the device is formatted with the FAT32, exFAT or NTFS file system. Run Home Hub by pressing the button on the remote control. Select the connected USB from Home Hub and select the Format button to format the USB storage device.

If multiple TVs are connected to one device, the content may not be played properly depending upon server performance. To watch a 1080p video through the content sharing function, a router using the 5 GHz frequency is required. If you use the existing 2.4 GHz router, the video may be laggy or not play properly. The Content Share function may not be supported for a router that does not support multicast. For more information, refer to the user guide that came with your router or contact the manufacturer.
