Smartphones can now be used as remote controls

The USB mouse will help you connect to your LG TV’s WiFi network, and then you can use your smartphone as a remote control.

We had to use the USB mouse in the beginning since we can’t use our smartphones until our TVs are connected to the internet.

Your LG remote can be used with your smartphone if your TV and smartphone are on the same WiFi network.

You won’t be able to sync your phone with your LG TV if they are on different networks.

Go to the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and search for “Smartify – LG TV Remote”.

Open Smartify once it has been installed and an alert will appear stating “Smartify wants to discover & connect to your local network devices.”.

Then click “OK”.

You should now be able to connect your smart phone to your LG TV! Your TV can be channel-changed, the volume can be controlled, and so on, using the app.

Use an Ethernet cable to connect your LG TV to your router

Alternatively, an Ethernet cable could be used to connect your LG TV directly to your home router/modem if your router/modem is nearby.

The first thing you need to do is check if your LG TV has a LAN ethernet port.

Your ethernet cord must be plugged into one of the available LAN ports on the back of your router and into the TV at the same time.

Connecting the LG TV to the WiFi internet should now be possible. If LG TV does not work or not connecting to WiFi, unplug your TV and plug it back in again for a few seconds.
