Well unfortunately the "unplug from power source" doesn't work for me. I live in South Africa we are currently having scheduled power outages  for +/-  3 hours daily even that prolonged period of "unplugging" doesn't work. What's even more strange/annoying is that the LG content store & all other apps won't work on a wired connection directly connected to my ISP modem/router on FTTH (using Google DNS) but NETFLIX works without a single glitch all the time.  I keep getting the "CHECK NETWORK CONNECTION (-118)" error message on the wired connection.

I'm almost convinced that the wired connection takes second preference to a wireless connection as I can access the content store & the rest of the apps via a cellular broadband connection (without using Google DNS) even though the wireless doesn't work at all on my primary ISP modem/router.  I have put the TV in the DMZ on my  primary wired ISP modem/router to avoid any firewall/port blocking issues to no avail I have even requested for a static public IP address from my ISP.

Is there any way to pull logs directly from the TV via SSH or something? BTW I also got +20 years tech experience but this is just mind boggling & highly frustrating!!

Well, besides the obvious like unplug the netwerk cable or switch it out, there could be a bad connector etc. Also unplugging and powering down are two different things. I’m pretty dumb but maybe there could possibly be enough power to keep the settings, ie:standby power? Perhaps? I would still unplug for 5-10 minutes just to be double sure and while you’re at it swap your netwerk cable out or at least check the fittings/connectors. Good luck!!

As crazy as this sounds try this, unplug your tv for a few minutes then plug it back in. I’m a computer repair tech and have years of experience in a variety of electronic troubleshooting. 

I was having this same issue when I ran across this fix that seemed so silly but it werked!!

surprisingly enough this werked for me! I tried changing the dns and several other netwerk changes but simply unplugging the tv did the trick.....thank you!
