LG smart TV + Sky Broadband Hub
Works, with a couple of settings to get right
Independent WiFiXpert score. No sponsorship, no shopping link, no manufacturer input.
A LG smart TV does work on a Sky Broadband Hub, but a couple of the router's default settings cause most of the complaints we see. Fix those first and it settles down.
Known issues with this pair
- • LG smart TV can struggle with today's stricter Wi-Fi security settings.
What it looks like when it goes wrong
- The gadget says the password is wrong even though it is right.
Do these, in this order
- 1
Ask your provider's support to set the hub to the mixed security mode — you usually can't change it yourself.
- 2
Run a network cable to the TV if the router is in the same room — it beats any Wi-Fi fix.
- 3
Turn off the TV's 'quick start' power saving, which can drop the Wi-Fi overnight.
Settings we'd recommend on the Sky Broadband Hub
- • Turn Sky Broadband Shield off temporarily if a gadget can't finish set-up.
- • Restart the hub, then the gadget — in that order, a couple of minutes apart.
Good to know about this router: Very few settings are exposed, so there is little to change when something misbehaves. Sky Broadband Shield can block set-up pages and some device services.
If none of that works
- Leave the provider's hub doing the broadband and add your own Wi-Fi on top of it — that gives you the settings this hub hides.
- If the gadget only ever sits in one spot, a wired connection is always the most reliable answer.
