I recently updated the firmware on my  LG43UH610V.  Now I constantly get "Wired Lan cable disconnected" / "Wired network is connected" messages even while watching a video file from my NAS. The TV is connected and using the network while getting these messages. It has always been on a fixed IP address on the LAN.

We purchased and LG UHD SmartTV with WebOS at end of July 2018.  The following messages continuously alternate re. the Wired Ethernet connection whenever the LAN cable is plugged in, i.e.  "Wired network is connected"  followed immediately by  "Wired Lan cable disconnected".

However, the router is stable and there is a trouble-free, continous Wi-fi connnection to the same Smart TV.  There are also no failures for other devices connected via a Wired Ethernet connection to the same router.

Dear LG ... is this a WebOS software issue or is it a SmartTV network card issue ?  If this is not resolved very quickly we will dump this TV and buy SAMSUNG instead.

Dear John,

 

I suspect that you are enjoying the use of a wireless connection.  Whereas, if you disconnect from the wireless connection (ensure you have the password on hand for re-connection) you may see that you have no internet connection (via Wired Ethernet) whatsoever.  If in addition, you unplug the LAN cable (at the SmartTV socket's end) you will note that the repeat message re. Wired Ethernet disappears.

There is an outside chance that your Wired Ethernet connection distribution point (opposite to the end of the LAN cable connected to your Smart TV) may be faulty.  To check this, connect some other device e.g. a laptop computer (perhaps even using a replacement Ethernet Cable) and observe whether that device can establish a trouble-free internet connection, or not as the case may be.  If you find a trouble free internet connection this way, the problem is narrowed to the LG Smart TV, and it may be either a software or hardware issue, or both of these.

I have the same problem. It is very annoying.

I have wireless disconnected and only ethernet connected. 

Already switched cable to other ports in the router, switched physical cable,  and the problem remains.

I wonder if this is a hardware fault (ethernet board on tv) or is this a webos (software) problem?

LG, please resolve this as it seems that more people have the same issue.

You only benefiting from a wireless connection. 

Can you elaborate on that?

How do i benefit from reducing comunications from 1Gb/s to 100Gb/s? Not to mention traffic collision wich wifi suffers from.

I called LG customer service and they wanted  me to do a total reset on the tv.   I was  afraid it would wipe out my calibration that was done by a professional calibrator , so I didn’t try it.   

 

There has had to be some solution.

Similar problem with the annoying pop up messages for my 43 UJ6200 .

Messages most often that an unknown device is disconnected,  followed immedietly with unknown device is connected and it's repeated many times,  then stops for a short or long time, and then happens again with varying frequency.

Occasionally,  I get the pop up that my Lan connection is disconnected followed by Lan connection is connected.

By the way,   I only connect via an ethernet cable to my router so wifi isn't even set up for my tv.    The only other device connected is my cable box via an HDMI cable.

All connections have been checked and tv has been power cycled in a specific way as per LG support advice and tv dusted in back also per support instructions,   but problem persists and is very annoying at times.

Someone mentioned problem persists after changing out motherboard,  so his assumption was that it's software related.

Would be great is someone from LG could read this and pass it along to find a fix for it .

Mine was worse with the initial  motherboard Now it’s Better it’s very random now could be days And even weeks. I also think there is definitely an app triggering this from the LG content store or LG settings. The fact that multiple models and people reporting the same error is definitely  software /firmware.  Would like someone in LG R&D to acknowledge this issue and supply a fix?

I haven't as I didn't want to go through all my custom picture and other settings,   but I thought I've seen that somebody did that.    Could be mistaken about that.

If I knew it would fix the problem,   I'd try it and just renew all my settings.

Has anyone done a hard reset on the tv to see if it helped any?

Yes, I did it before my replaced Brand new motherboard, it slowed down the messages which were happening every 15-30 min. After new motherboard install it happens maybe once every couple of days.

Hello. I was able to solve this problem. In my case, I believe the messages were caused because I was using a switch, which sends data to the TV in “bite-size“ packages. The TV intermittently interpreted the gap between “bites” as a lost connection and generated the error message. I eliminated the issue by unplugging the ethernet and relying solely on Wi-Fi. (I guess I could also eliminate the issue by plugging the TVs ethernet port directly to the router or modem and not through a switch). I hope this works for you. Good luck.

I'm using a TP-Link AV600 powerlan repeater with lan port, tryed today to connect by cable directly to the router, the connect/disconnect problem is still there.

I have also the wifi setting disabled,no way to enable wifi... I'm reading about hardware connection problems, but I think could be a software problem.

Any LG rappresentative is reading here? Any new firmware to fix this terrible bug????

LG 55UH605V - firmware 05.30.85

POS LG TV ... hey LG fix the problem WHICH IS A COMMON PROBLEM JUST AFTER THE TV GOES OFF WARRANTY.  I have tried all the LG fix propaganda but it ndoes not work.  Now I have to adjust the sound sync frequently.  Furthermore the option to connect to WiFi is not shown.  I am fed up having bought an expensive TV.  If you do nit correct the COMMON PROBLEM, I will file a class action lawsuit to address the matter.

I have been having same problems with my wifi disconnecting but no issues with other devices on same wifi. We just wired it directly to a router but reading all of your issues I do not think it will solve the problem.  

I also have issues with my tv sound, we have to run the sound test everytime we turn on TV to get sound.  Please fix!!!!

I had this issue for a while... it started off with the mouse pointer not working... then youtube video stutter and the popup coming up on and off more and more frequent. I had the TV wired through a 1 Meter cat5e cable to Dlink Gigabit Switch which is then connected through a 10Meter cat5e cable to the Router. I changed the switch to a TPLink unmanaged Pro switch and toggled the port to 100MF and it was alleviating the issue for a while before it get bad again. Then I swap out the 1Meter cable from a CAT5e to CAT6 and surprisingly, the problem goes away. It looks like the cable might have gotten bad over time.

I have had the pop up “lan disconnected” message for a long time now. I finally called LG customer service and got through to a human being. I explained the land disconnect pop-up and also that the Wi-Fi menu is unable to be enabled. The technician had me go through some troubleshooting steps and put me on hold. The technician came back and asked if I would like to have a free service call to have the TV repaired. I said sure send a guy out. I’ll let you guys know what happens.

UPDATE!

There is a service bulletin regarding this problem and a free fix program. The local technician texted me to confirm model number and serial number. Parts have been ordered and the appointment has been set.

I have this same behavior now On my OLED55B6P. The only things that have changed:

1. Verizon replaced my optical network terminal for my Fios service.

2. I updated my TV’s firmware  

I can’t correlate the timing to one vs the other since the error messages about disconnection/reconnection aren’t always there. But since you’re all having the problem too, it seems like it must be some issue with LG’s firmware. 

Everything else in my networking, wiring, routers, etc. have been unchanged for years.

(Some Side rants)
With the most recent firmware update, my Simplink functionality stopped working. I can’t get my LG DVD player and audio system to turn on when I switch to my TV optical output. I requested LG support multiple times on the Simplink issue and have not heard anything. It’s very frustrating. 

With the update prior to that, my smart apps have started crashing far more often than they used to. 

And the damn Disney+ app, unlike every other app, refuses to let me do a zoom to avoid letter boxing on 16:9 movies. It zooms but then letter boxing remains unchanged. Mind boggling. 
(End side rants)

Also, I tried a factory reset of the TV. It didn’t fix any of these issues. 

This is my third LG Flatscreen TV. If this stuff can’t get resolved, it will likely be my last.

      Hi, I have a feature request for the sound out setting. I often connect my Bluetooth headphones to the TV. We don't use the internal speaker of the TV, we use the optical sound out setting whenever I don't use Bluetooth. It would make our lives a lot easier if the TV can remember the last sound out setting before connecting to Bluetooth and default back to this setting when the Bluetooth device gets disconnected. At the moment, each time I disconnect the headphones I have to go back into settings and change the sound out setting from internal speaker to optical again. 
      Thanks and regards

      Title says it all.  Install a new 50 inch LG tv.  For every app and App Store it displays that message.  I have a great network and the TV is approx 30 feet from the wifi router.  It will play TV (not sure if that is coming over the air) and the phone app sees and can control the TV but not one app will work?
      Any ideas or just return it?
      Thanks

      In this interview, we delve into the creative process of Fred Scott, the London-based BAFTA-winning filmmaker, as he brings LG’s “Radio Optimism” campaign to life. This campaign aims to strengthen meaningful human connections in a world dominated by superficial interactions on social media.
      What does it mean to genuinely connect in a hyper-connected era, where people paradoxically feel more disconnected than ever? To strengthen meaningful human connections in a world dominated by superficial interactions on social media, LG launched a new brand campaign called “Radio Optimism” last month, expanding its “Life’s Good” philosophy into the digital space through shared musical experiences.
      To create the brand film for the campaign, LG collaborated with Fred Scott, a London-based BAFTA-winning filmmaker known for “London Bridge: Facing Terror.” With a foundation of emotionally grounded, human-centered storytelling, Scott brought his unique creative lens to the project and crafted a short documentary film that highlights the power of music to bridge even the widest emotional and physical distances.
      In this piece, we delve into Scott’s creative process – tracing how he creatively brought the message of “Connecting the Disconnected” to life for the campaign through his distinctive storytelling.

      What do you value most as a filmmaker and a creator? What drives your creative process?
      Authenticity (obviously), intimacy and a clear sense of openness and trust is what I am always seeking when making a film. I believe in the power of narrative to foster empathy and build shared understanding. How can I connect with audiences without authenticity or real people? 
      Whenever I start a project, I actively seek out genuine individuals and stories, whether a reclusive filmmaker reflecting on their art or people searching for redemption after a traumatic event. My aim as a creator is to bring these stories to life authentically – in an environment where the subjects feel protected and supported.

      What did you think when you first heard about “Radio Optimism?” Was there something about the idea that resonated with you creatively or personally?
      The concept of togetherness and connection in the Radio Optimism campaign resonated with me, especially as we live in a world where we’re supposedly never more connected – yet we can often feel disconnected.
      Through this campaign, LG is bridging the gap between technology and emotional connection in a powerful, effective and, most importantly, genuine way. It makes those who feel disconnected feel part of a community.
      What also stood out was the longevity of the platform. It’s not just a fleeting story but a campaign that could grow into a movement. Through the universal language of music, Radio Optimism has the power to be inclusive, creating something that anyone around the world can contribute to.
      How did you choose the subject for the film?
      Finding the right person with an inspiring story to tell and who lives or works for periods away in a remote location was no mean feat. However, when we found Ann Eileen, everything just clicked into place, and I knew she encapsulated everything I wanted the brand film to live and breathe.

      She truly is the beacon of the film. She’s effervescent, relatable, approachable and deeply inspiring. She has sacrificed a lot to pursue her passion in her field of research to protect the planet but at the cost of spending more than three months away from her family. Yet, despite the time apart, they’ve found ways to connect, and it’s truly inspiring to see how Ann Eileen’s values and ethics can be witnessed in her children.

      Through the film, I wanted to capture this genuine, nurturing and intimate feeling of Ann’s family life and highlight the power of meaningful connections.
      Tell us more about your creative process for the short documentary film?
      For this project, my approach leaned into a documentary style with a particular eye on scale, juxtaposing the intimacy of Ann Eileen’s family life with the epic, remote and expansive landscape around her.
      I wanted to find moments of genuine, emotional connection within a story of isolation while keeping the tone soulful rather than sugary.
      The cinematography was designed to feel authentic and beautiful, highlighting both the uniqueness of the setting and the realism of the experience. The story’s authenticity is key to connecting with the audience. Inauthenticity breaks that bond.
      How do you stay connected with your family when you are divided by distance?
      Staying connected with my family while away has always been important to me. I use video calls, voice notes and sometimes even analogue ways, such as leaving notes. Whilst technology offers us ways to communicate, leaving notes is a very personal way of sharing emotional connection.
      I’m fortunate to be a parent, and if I were to make a song using the Radio Optimism platform, I’d make one for my four-year-old son. He is obsessed with the saxophone and discovering language, so this would be a fun way to capture this precious moment of his childhood.

      What do you want audiences to feel when they watch the Radio Optimism documentary film?
      I hope the authenticity of the film resonates with people. Ann Eileen’s life may be unique, but the emotions and relationships at the heart of it are something we all recognize.
      I’d love for the film to encourage people to keep communicating and strengthen their relationships, especially in a world where it’s easy to drift apart.
      Sometimes, we need a little nudge to make a phone call or create something for someone we care about—I want this film to feel like that nudge.
      I also want the audience to see the joy and emotional power of creating a personalized song, even if it’s about something silly and every day like embarrassing knitwear.
      What are your reflections on the production and what does “Life’s Good” mean to you?
      The whole process was incredibly satisfying because it felt genuine, collaborative and driven by a shared purpose to put something meaningful into the world.
      I feel the film captured the kind of optimism and authenticity we hoped to share with audiences.
      To me, “Life’s Good” means having purpose, hope and shared experiences. I feel fortunate that my work allows me to support others and tell stories that matter.
      Watch the film

      Company Builds Sustainable Growth by Empowering Local Talent and
      Advancing Technical Excellence in HVAC

      SEOUL, May 27, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is strengthening the competitiveness of its heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) business by expanding its global training infrastructure. Through its growing network of LG HVAC Academies, the company is establishing new facilities and upgrading existing ones in key markets including Thailand, China, Indonesia and France – each offering specialized training programs designed to meet the specific needs of local professionals and industries.
      In January 2025, LG officially opened a new LG HVAC Academy in Bangkok, Thailand. Relocated from the Thonburi Service Center to the Sathon business district, the upgraded facility is certified by Thailand’s Department of Skill Development and can train up to 1,700 HVAC professionals annually. Its comprehensive curriculum covers a range of areas including heating and cooling system design, installation, maintenance, troubleshooting and safety control. Graduates who pass final assessments receive nationally recognized technical certifications.
      In March, LG launched its second HVAC Academy in China, adding a new facility in Shenzhen to complement the existing Tianjin location, which reopened in 2023. Situated in one of China’s key innovation and industrial hubs, the Shenzhen academy features lecture halls, a product showroom and a Smart Home zone. The site will play a pivotal role in promoting LG’s strategic HVAC offerings and deepening customer engagement in the Chinese market.
      Also in March, LG reopened its newly relocated and expanded HVAC Academy in Jakarta, Indonesia. Now located in the southern part of the city, the two-floor facility includes lecture and practice rooms on the first floor, and a product showroom on the second floor showcasing HVAC solutions for residential, commercial and hospitality applications. The third floor houses Hi-M Solutek, LG’s training partner specializing in maintenance education. This practical, hands-on environment helps local dealers and partners enhance their technical capabilities and service excellence.
      In Europe, LG commenced operations at its new HVAC Academy in Lyon, France, in mid-May 2025. As LG’s second training center in France – following the first academy in Paris – the Lyon facility offers hands-on training zones and a dedicated product showroom. An adjacent LG office will collaborate closely with the academy to support the company’s regional business development.
      LG’s HVAC Academies are vital hubs for technical training and business support, playing a key role in the company’s global B2B strategy. By the end of 2025, LG aims to operate 70 academies worldwide, collectively training approximately 37,000 HVAC professionals each year.
      “Our global education infrastructure is designed to foster mutual growth, supporting local talent to be their best while strengthening LG’s leadership in the global HVAC market,” said James Lee, president of the LG ES Company.

      I did a refresh of my LG TV 3 days ago. Sold the old LG 47" 3D LED TV and bought new 55" LG Super UltraHD TV with WebOS. I believe, the biggest con of this new TV is WebOS. Its totally frustrating. Sorry for WebOS fans.
      It isn't that smart and functional they way it looks. The problem I having since 3 days and being a network engineer, I am unable to solve a network issue myself which is even more frustrating for me.
      Ok, let me explain the issue. The TV when installed was connected to LAN cable to my router which has direct internet connection. The TV works and none of the apps were working. Basically TV wasn't able to connect to internet via apps. If i open web browser, it was working fine with all webpages showing correctly.
      I'll skip the part of contacting LG support which was useless. All troubleshooting steps like resetting, formatting, changing time zone, location, region was done but no luck. Finally I connected the TV via mobile hotspot and it just worked which gave me the clue that some ports are being blocked by my ISP or router.
      My internet setup is this way. Internet cable from ISP -> ISP Modem (can do NAT and work as router) - WiFi Router (NAT, DHCP, etc) -> all LAN clients. I put my LG TV in DMZ, opened all ports, etc but no luck. Then I converted my ISP modem as router and connected the LG TV directly to it and it started working..!!!
      My WiFi Router is TP-Link Archer C7 and I was using stock firmware. Thought it was creating issues and I installed DD-WRT, Open-WRT but no luck at all. The apps which were installed in TV when TV was connected directly to modem are still working fine. Youtube, Plex, Netflix, etc all are working but when I open LG Content Store, it just refuses to load.
      I am not sure what wrong my TP-Link router is doing. There is something wrong with the LG TV content store. If it requires to open ports, then I would like to know which ones.
      Sorry for the long port, may be my frustration of 3 days with no luck.!!
