It will not repair a Wi-Fi hardware or router problem. Use this guide when 5 GHz Wi-Fi is unavailable because of the TV's factory region configuration. Seriously, LG? The hardware supports 5 GHz, but the Middle East region config disables it anyway. Change the region and it magically works. This is a stupid, artificial limitation that should not exist on a premium TV. WarningChanging the region can affect tuner behavior, the LG…

(And contrasted with my approach.) In December 2024 during a visit to San Francisco, I was lucky enough to be invited at the last minute to a party that could only have happened there: a celebration of the 50th anniversary of hypermedia visionary Ted Nelson’s 197452ya manifesto, Computer Lib/Dream Machines, extolling the vision of Project Xanadu hypertext.
