LG ANWF100 Wireless dongle Logo

Lg 50pm4700 will not connet to the internet

I had my LG TV ( 50 PM4700 smart tv) connected to the internet via the ANWF100 Dongle earlier today, I had to move my tv so I also had to unplug it. Now, each time I try to connect, the LG says that the LAN is unplugged and I must contact my AP. I know that the wireless router that I am using is broadcasting a signal, I can pick it up on my smartphone adjacent to the tv. I called the LG help line and they basically walked me through the process I had done several times already. I also tried to reset the tv's out of the box settings before I made any changes. I have since attempted to use the online apps and the internet with no success. What do I need to do to correct this issue?

    I have totally restored all of the settings on my router in an effort to ensure that the wireless signal is being transmitted. I have also contacted the LG support team to help resolve the issue, so far, the tv/dongle is still not recognizing that there is a signal available.

I had a similiar problem and found a solution! :) im passing on my joy to you. Try getting a USB extension or just wrapping foil around the Dongle. It seems that the dongle or the TV causes interference of some sort to cause the tv to drop the internet. ON my tv it would say connected to the net sometimes but as soon as id try netcast it would drop. As soon as i got the extension it went away. At least try the foil thing. Wrap it like a Dog cone for injured dogs.

Hi,

Sometimes these types of issues are difficult to troubleshoot remotely (in this case, you've got 4 potential points to address: TV, dongle, router and ISP.)

If your TV and/or dongle utilize specific ports outside of the "norm," you may need to manually configure your router to allow for this.

Depending on the distance your AP/router is from the TV/dongle, the signal may not be strong enough. (Or, the signal coming from the AP may be present--you can confirm this with another wireless device--and maybe it's just the dongle itself has a poor range.)

Also, the dongle itself may be defective. Generally, there is some form of configuration that needs to be done, one way or the other, either on the computer, or on the TV itself (like a setup option).

Most likely, it's not an ISP-related issue.

Also, try to contact Sharp Technical support. They should be able to give you some recommendations that may prove helpful.

If all else fails, see if you can track down one of the dongles listed as being compatible in the TV manual, or find a dongle that's advertised as being compatible with your specific television, as that might be your best bet.

Good Luck!

It sounds like the dongle has a problem. You should consider returning it for exchange or refund.

I found this page on amazon.com - scroll down to bottom to read reviews.. They say easy to install, and work great. One caveat, will not work with older model same tv.
