Can i view the internet on lg 42lh5000 TV?

Your TV might not be having a proper connection to the internet and for the wifi and trying turning off other things that are connected to the internet and the wifi and see if that does help. Or Try turning the TV off and unpluging it for a few minutes too.

well you have no ISP internet at all;
so only path is CELL
so in the CELL setting, enable, tethering,
4k netflix will fail
ROKU is best in the world, I have 3 hear, and player work now for 8 years no probs.
ever.
but tethering will cause you huge data overage bills
call your Cell phone provider and have this discussion.
or get real internet. (no data caps)
I too am cable TV free, for huge long time, but have internet fast.
good luck to you. !!!!

It is 13 years after the end of production. We didn't have routers then!
There is no wifi convertor in your old Panasonic TV.
It won't work without a computer interface between the two.

If it has wifi, it ahould also habe hard wore for internet as well. Try hooking it up that way and see if its still cutting out. Btw, are you using a microwave with in 20 ft of the tv? That will knock out your wifi while the microwave is on. If u use fire wire / cat 5 cable (hard wire) and it still cuts out, id look at the manufacturers date on the back, if its still under warranty, yup! It goes bye bye.

It is not going to work. Both wifi and ethernet are for internet connection only. Ethernet is much faster than wifi. Also there is possibility to damage tv by plugging ethernet cable which is connected device using POE (power over ethernet). You need to connect your dvr via hdmi, component or composite cable

change your WiFi security setings in your router from WPA/WPA2 to WEP.

Go back to the Smart TV and reconnect to your network with your selected security key.
It may be less secure but it may be the only setting your tv will recognize.

I would try connecting a network cable to the TV and router directly. Sometimes the WiFi connection can be limited by interference or the conversion process. I personally for fixed devices use a direct physical connection and WiFi only for true mobile devices.

you can use lg optimus p500 to tether wifi through usb tethering and portable wifi hotspot.

goto settings,wireless&network settings,tethering &portable hotspot and select it.

now you have to have a data plan working on your phone.

tick the portable wifi hotspot submenu and configure it.

now search for wireless connections from your laptop and you can find your mobile wifi hotspot and you can access the internet through it

which windows are you using?
Turn on your wifi and then
For windows 7,
go to the bottom right corner and press the internet connection icon and then select your wifi connection.

For windows xp,
go to network connections and then to connect to a wireless connection

that should do.

The above link goes to lg's website describing the red flashing light where the power switch is, and

another switch down below which can turn that light off.

Try switching that other switch below off so the light turns off. Then, switch it back on.

If that doesn't work, then service should be scheduled for this discontinued model.

Hope this helps on your lg tv.
