Issues with LG TV and weird WiFi behaviour


Question

Posted

I recently bought a new router (Unify Dream Router) and after a couple of weeks of struggle, I managed to set it up with my ISP's VDSL connection (FFTC) using a third party modem in bridge mode (NETGEAR D6400).

Everything seemed to be working fine until I realised I couldn't open the Netflix app on my LG Smart TV. After a bit of investigation, I realised nothing except for YouTube and the Browser was working. Just to make this clear: the WiFi connects fine, I can access all websites through the LG Browser, and I have no issues with YouTube, but nothing else works.

All the regular streaming apps fail to open and, most importantly, the LG Content Store fails to load. Before I fixed my network, the tv was working fine. If I switch to my phone's hotspot, everything works fine.

Things that I've tried:

  • factory resetting the tv
  • leaving the tv unplugged to delete cache
  • using google's DNS on the TV
  • using a wired connection 

Having said so, I am so lost that I would be happy to try anything again.

Ignore my comment about the Netgear? You obviously ned a VDSL modem! Try disabling IPV6 protocol on both, as you only really need IPV4 in most home networks. Older TV sets might be a problem trying to negotiate IPV6.
