Troubleshooting

On newer LG webOS TVs, open Settings → All Settings → General → Network. On older models, Network may appear directly in the main settings menu.
Make sure your LG Smart TV is already connected to Wi-Fi. Select your connected Wi-Fi network first, then look for Advanced Wi-Fi Settings or Edit.
Turn off Set Automatically first. After that, the DNS Server field should become editable.
No. In most cases, you only need to change the DNS Server field. Keep the existing IP address, subnet mask, and gateway values unchanged.
Make sure your UnGeo account is active, your current IP address is added in the Client Area, and the UnGeo Smart DNS server was entered correctly. Then restart your LG Smart TV and reopen the streaming app.
Some apps depend on your LG TV model, webOS version, and LG Services Country. If the app is not available, contact UnGeo support and we’ll help you choose the best setup option.
