Let's start with the televisions produced by LG. If you have not yet managed to connect the Korean manufacturer's Smart TV to the Internet, get his own remote control, turn on the TV and press the button ⚙️, to access the quick settings menu.
Now, use the directional arrows of the remote control to select the item (⋮) All settings, press the button OK and select the icon Network from the menu displayed on the screen. After that, press the right arrow of the remote control, to enter the section dedicated to the Network and follow the procedure best suited to the connection method you intend to use.
- Cable – connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the port of the same name on the back of the router, repeat the same operation with the Ethernet port located on the TV (it is on the side, or on the back) and, to check that the connection was successful done, select the item Wired connection (Ethernet) and press the button OK.
- Wi-Fi - select the item Wifi connection from the menu displayed on the TV display, press the key OK and wait for the TV to detect nearby networks. Once you have identified the network of your interest, select it with the arrow keys on the remote control, press the key OK twice consecutively and, using the on-screen keyboard, enter the relevant one network key. If you wish, you can use the appropriate menu items to establish the connection after authentication WPS PBC (you must have previously pressed the same key on the router) or using the WPS PIN.
Once the Internet connection stage is complete, press the key Exit, to exit the device configuration menu. For more information about the steps just illustrated, I invite you to carefully read my guide on how to connect your LG TV to the Internet.
After this step too, press the button Home of the remote control (the one in the shape of a cottage), select the button LG Content Store and press the button OK, to access the TV "market". If requested, accepts the conditions of use of the service and the privacy legislation, confirming the following warning screens.
Next, choose the option Network setting, premium pulsating Simple and, subsequently, act in the most appropriate manner based on the type of connection you intend to establish.
- Cable - push the button wired LAN on the TV display, then plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on the back of the router and the other end into the back of the TV. A confirmation message should alert you that the connection was successful, which should require no further action.
- Wi-Fi – press the button Wi-Fi placed on the TV display, choose the option Scan and wait for the available networks to show on the screen. When this happens, press on name of the network of your interest and, using the keyboard on the screen, enter the password. Finally, you can establish the connection using the system WPS: after pressing the homonymous key on the router, select the item WPS button and wait for the connection between the devices to be established.
If, on the other hand, the app is not present, start the Google Play Store (always resides in the section Applications of Android TV) and, after logging in with a Google account, download and install the app, as you would with a common Android device.
First, press the key Menu of the remote control, go to the Settings of the TV (usually the menu is identified by an icon in the shape ofGear), using the directional arrows on the remote, then select the item Network, press the button OK and, later, repeat the same operation with the voice Network settings. Now, follow the most suitable procedure based on the type of link you want to use.
- With cable – take the Ethernet cable, connect one end to the appropriate port located on the back of the router and insert the other end of the cable into the dedicated port on the TV. Then select the item wired from the on-screen menu, press the key OK and wait for the connection to complete. No additional configuration should be required.
- Wi-Fi - select the item wireless, press the button OK and wait for the TV to detect nearby networks. Then choose the network you are interested in, press the key OK and using the on-screen keyboard, enter it Password in the appropriate field. If you want, you can pair your router and TV using the WPS: press this last key on the router and, within two minutes, press the button WPS (PBC) displayed on the TV display.
Final operations
From this moment on, all content launched via the app on the smartphone or tablet will be reproduced on the TV screen; to disconnect, press the button again broadcast and play the voice Stop broadcasting. You can use the same technique to cast content from your computer screen (if so, the cast button is in the lower right).
If this method doesn't work for you, you can achieve a similar result by using the via link tv code. I want to clarify, before explaining how to do it, that this method works even when the control device and the TV are connected to different networks.
chromecast
The first solution you can consider, in this regard, is the chromecast: it is a small device made by Google, capable of "expanding" the functions of non-Smart televisions, enabling them to receive content from compatible apps for smartphones and tablets and from the Google Chrome browser for computers.
As things currently stand, the Chromecast is available in two different versions: that of basis, the cheapest, which allows you to watch content up to 1080p resolution (Full hD) and supports connection via Wi-Fi; and a more advanced one, named Chromecast with Google TV, capable of playing content in 4K and also equipped with a remote control and app installation support. Both devices can be purchased from the Google site.
If this is the first time you've heard of it, I suggest you carefully read my guide on how Chromecast works, so you can get an idea of its use and related features; if, on the other hand, you have already purchased the Chromecast and you need a hand to configure it for the first time, I refer you to my tutorial on how to install and configure Chromecast.
Once you've finished setting up your Chromecast, make sure your TV is turned on and set to video source to which you connected the Google device (e.g. HDMI1) and make sure that the smartphone, tablet or PC from which you intend to start the broadcast is connected to the same network as the Chromecast.
Cable connection
If you don't want to "directly" connect your TV to the Internet, you may want to consider using a HDMI cable (or a special adapter, if you intend to use a smartphone or tablet). Of course, this is the cheapest and simplest solution to put into practice but, at the same time, the most uncomfortable.
If you believe that this is the solution that best suits your needs, I refer you to reading my guides on how to project the phone screen on the TV and how to connect the computer to the TV via HDMI, in which I have indicated, by wire and by sign the steps to be taken to succeed in the enterprise.
