  1. I have been able to connect several times BUT not always reliably and it is frustrating.  I have the latest WIN 10 with all of the updates.  I also have a very reliable connection method using Chromecast which is a dongle installed on one of the TVs HDMI ports, HDMI1 in my setup.  Using Chromecast I cast, (using Chrome), the desktop of the PC to the TV and the TV then mirrors what is displayed on the PC, laptop.  The only problem is I have to deselect the HDMI1 port and reconnect the TV using the TV remote when I am done casting.  I did find that if I SW the PC between the 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz or vice versa that the TV would connect SOMETIMES but not always.  I set the LG TV for Miracast.

    I would suggest that folks use this method which I find reliable until LG gets a fix for the WI-FI connect problem.  https://store.google.com/product/chromecast_ultra

    Another advantage of the Chromecast dongle is that I can quickly switch back & forth between the LG TV Cable box and the HDMI1, (my Cast dongle is on HDMI1), port for my PC laptop by using the LG TV remote.   

     

  2. I can logon to my RG, (remote gateway), and check the status of the wired  and wireless connections which show active or inactive for these ports.  Have you tried to determine the status of your wired connection during a failure?  I have the new FW installed and do NOT have the problem you describe.  This may be a problem with your RG.

  3. FWIW, I have a WIN10 64bit laptop, Lenovo Y40, with the latest WIN10 SW/Updates, (Windows 10 Home (x64) Version 1803 (build 17692.1004), & my LG TV is:  

    Model      OLED65B7A-U

    S/N          709RMJF8xxxx

    SW Version 04.71.00

    webOS Version 3.7.1.57127

    (dreadlocks2-drto)

    Dolby Vision 1.4.4_07.01

    I am able to screen share my PC with the PC connected to my RG using 2.4gHz and the LG TV connected to the same RG using 5gHz.  I use the WIN + P keys on the PC after starting  Miracast on the LG TV.  Hope this helps.  Note RG is AT&T U-Verse remote gateway with the builtin WI-FI router. 

    I also have a Chromecast dongle connected which works but I am not using it for this screen share.

    My pictures really pop and look great when displayed on the LG TV.
