FAQ
- Q. Why are the wired LAN and Wi-Fi MAC addresses different?
-
A. The wired network adapter and Wi-Fi adapter are separate components, so each has its own MAC address.
Use the MAC address that matches your TV’s current network connection.
- Q. What should I do if the MAC address is missing or blank?
-
A. A temporary network adapter issue may prevent the MAC address from appearing. Unplug your TV, wait one minute, and then plug it back in.
If the MAC address still does not appear, contact LG Customer Support.
