    If the wifi on your LG TV isn't working or is cutting out this will help you fix that problem. Even if you can’t turn on the WiFi on your LG TV this will fix the problem.
    Many times the LG TV will show an error that says "Wifi is turned off. Turn it on to see the list of available networks that you can connect to and additional related menu items."
    The thing is there is no way to turn it on. You have to fix the wifi wire in the back of the LG TV. It's a really easy fix and takes 10 minutes or less.
    This will fix the WiFi issue with all LG TVs. It has also been said that this will fix issues with the magic remote and magic cursor.

    I’ve had my LG tv for two years, randomly tonight it stopped working out of the blue, for two hours I tried all the typical fixes like resetting my WiFi router, unplugging and plugging back in the tv; I even went as far to factory reset it, and nothing! I was so distraught googling answers until I stumbled upon this video. I popped open the back of my tv and found the wires just like yours, kinked on top of itself. I straightened them out and voila, tv worked again just like that!! Thank you so much for saving me from having to buy a new tv!

    I'm speechless! This makes no sense at all to me, but as a last ditch effort I gave it a try, and it worked. Our TV was acting as if it was under powered as it was constantly freezing up as if it was buffering. Sometimes it would result in the TV rebooting. We constantly saw the "wifi disconnected" followed by "wifi connected" messages, and it drove us crazy.
    I took the back off and it looked exactly the same as yours. I straightened the cables to the wifi unit and the darned thing has been working flawlessly for hours. There's some serious voodoo in play here, but it worked so I'm taking it.
    Thank you Charles.

    Crazy! Have an LG49UJ6300 TV that is about 2 yrs old and we had it hooked up to a cable service and so never needed to use the WiFi capabilities. Switching to UA-cam TV and now getting the wireless WiFi message about "No Internet.. blah, blah, blah" and no networks listing. So off to Dr. Google. Tried the other video suggestions - turn off/on Router, turn off/on TV, Reset TV to factory defaults. None of those worked. Then saw this video. Decide it was worth a try. Opened the back of the TV and saw the twisted cables. Straightened them out and then gave it a try before putting the panel back on. It was magic!! Our networks were discovered and listed immediately!! THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH! This works everyone :-)

    100% works, so easy to do yourself. Only struggle might be taking the back panel off if you only have screws at the bottom (a different model TV). You can just run a flat screwdriver inbetween the edges and use slight force to get that back panel off. Great video 10/10 !

    I didn't believe it would work. We've had our LG TV for 5-years. We started having intermittent problems 3-years ago. This year we completely lost Wi-Fi. We knew that it had to be a problem with the TV because the TV couldn't detect Wi-Fi signals from my or any of my neighbor's routers. So, I followed your advice, straightened out the Wi-Fi and Infrared receiver cables and reinforced them with electrical tape. As soon as it fired up, I checked the network status. It wasn't connected, but it did see my router and a half dozen other routers. I selected mine, signed in, and it now works like a champ.
    As you mentioned, this is a manufacturing defect.
    Thanks for the help. You be the man.

    I can't thank you enough for this video!!! I've been dealing with this issue for the past two years. Even had the wi-fi module replaced for free with LG warranty. Still after 6 months it stopped working again with the "WiFi is off" error! After that LG would not pay to fix it again. I resorted to getting a Roku stick - which worked well (though I was very annoyed that I needed to use it for streaming) for a long time. Then it happened again - boom I couldn't even get the TV to work via the Roku stick. And oddly enough, sometimes the LG wi-fi would work sporadically. This was an EASY fix just as you showed. LG should have fixed this long ago for all of us like you said. I was seriously thinking about getting rid of this TV and heading to Costco to get a new one. You saved me a lot of $$$ - THANK YOU!!!
