Samething happened to me a few weeks ago.  Finally concluded that the wifi card was fried by a momenntary power failure.  I wanted try a wired connection to see if the problem went away but it just wasn't practical.  (And I sort of wanted to replace the set with a new OLED model.)  Was there any evidence that there might have been a power failure prior to the wifi breaking?  

I am not surprised that there is no answer to your question.  But I am surprised that no one has supported the idea/request.  I wish I had known that Samsung offers such an app before I bought my latest LG - which I bought primarily so that it would work as much alike as possible with my other two LG TVs. On the other hand I suspect that no LG employee ever looks at this forum and so expressing any support for your idea/request here is likely meaningless.  However, I will in the future mention this disadvantage every time I review an LG TV.

Thanks for your post.   Bob

Thank you very much Smartboy (an appropriate handle IMHO)!  I didn't even know I had a browser app!  I very much appreciate your help.

I have problems with one of my WebOS TVs which looks like a speed problem, but when I do a speed check on my iPhone from just a few feet away the connection speed looks fine.  Thanks,  Bob

The Wi-Fi module in my LG TV, roughly 5 or six years old, (WebOS UJ6300) is apparently broken.  I am looking for a solution cheaper and maybe more interesting than having the TV repaired.  There are devices which will pick up Wi-Fi, convert it to ethernet, and deliver it to the male  part of an ethernet port.  In the past I have used such a device to provide Wi-Fi support to a desktop computer which did not have Wi-Fi support but did have an ethernet port.  I forget the particulars, but it did work just fine. But a smart TV with Web 0S is not a desktop or laptop computer.  My concern is how to provide the SSID and password to the device.  My vague recollection is that such a device in a laptop or desktop computer can trigger a dialogue which requests the SSID and password.  But will web OS provide such a dialogue?  If I recall correctly, wired ethernet connections do not require SSIDs or passwords.

 

Thanks,  Bob
