UPDATE: I just switched to my 2.4GHz SSID and speed test went from 2.5 Mbps (tops) on the 5GHz to 80 on the 2.4GHz! This makes no sense, as the 5GHz band frequence should be better, and is working uncomplainable on all other devices. Still curious about why my LG won’t work properly with the 5GHz band frequency?

@George Hofmeister Thank for your input. The 2.4GHz and 5GHz doesn’t share the same SSID, they differentiate with a “_5GHz” at the end of the SSID for the 5GHz. And still, even for a 2.4GHz band 2.5 Mbps vs 110 Mbps seems ridiculous with a router less than 10 feet away.

Hi, I recently bought an LG UK6500PLA TV (my first LG), but I have a difficult time streaming content (Wifi connected), e.g. Netflix series is streaming in low resolution. The router is only 10 feet away from TV (but ethernet is not an option) and uses a 5GH frequency range. I have tried making a speed test at fast.com, for both the TV (through the Webbrowser) and for my laptop and iPhone. The speed test for TV showed 2.5 Mbps and my laptop and iPhone showed 110 Mbps. Can there really be such a big difference? I am starting to wonder if this might be a warranty issue? Do any of you guys have experience with bad Wifi reception on your LG TV or have any suggestions on how to fix it? Br, Nick
