Possible Causes

Robot offline from Wi‑Fi, Router blocking outbound connections, Outdated app version, Internal Wi‑Fi module instability

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Network troubleshooting does not require opening the robot.

  • 1. Check robot Wi‑Fi status: On the robot or in the app, confirm it shows as connected to your home network.
  • 2. Restart network: Power cycle your router and modem, then reboot the robot.
  • 3. Update app: Ensure the LG ThinQ app is updated to the latest version.
  • 4. Re-add device: Remove the robot from the app and go through the pairing process again.
  • If the robot cannot stay online while other devices work fine, the internal Wi‑Fi module or antenna may be failing.
