To activate synchronization:

1. Open Settings → All Settings → General → LG Account.

3. Enable the option Data synchronization (may be called Cloud backup).

2. Manually export network settings (for advanced users)

On TVs LG With webOS 4.0–6.0 (2018–2021) There is a hidden option to export the network configuration to a file. This method requires access to service menu and is only suitable for users who are willing to work with technical settings.

Instructions:

2. Open the service menu:

   On the remote control, press in sequence:
   Settings → Support → OK (hold for 5 seconds) → Enter PIN: 0000 or 0413

Televisions LG 2022–2026 (starting from webOS 7.0) support the function Cloning Settings, which allows you to transfer your Wi-Fi configuration from one device to another. This is useful if you're buying a new TV of the same brand or want to duplicate the settings on a second one. LG in the house.

How does this work:

• 📱 Need two TVs LG with support webOS 7.0+.

2. Select Create a backup copy and follow the prompts.
3. On new on the TV, in the same menu, select Restore settings.

⚠️ Attention: If the original TV was connected to the network via cable (Ethernet), the cloning feature may not transfer the Wi-Fi settings. Temporarily connect to a wireless network before proceeding.

4. Using a router with WPS function

If your TV LG supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) allows you to quickly connect to a network without entering a password. This method doesn't save settings on the TV itself, but it speeds up reconnection after a reset.
