Restart Network Router
At times when the above workarounds don’t help, restarting the Network Router may bring ease. When the LG TV WiFi drops and asks to reconnect, there’s most likely an issue with the device itself. However, you can resolve the same in a few simple steps:
Start by Turning Off your Network Router. Now unplug it from the Power Source, take a 10 to 20-second pause and plug it into the Power Source again. Next, Turn On the Router and allow it up to 2 minutes to connect. Once done with that, restart the TV, which must connect to the WiFi.

Clean the WiFi Module
A few users reported that cleaning the WiFi Module helped them go over the WiFi not connecting on the LG TV issue. You can also try the same, and for doing so,
Start by placing your LG TV facing downwards on a flat surface. Now, using a screwdriver, remove the back cover of the TV unit. The lower part of the TV has a WiFi module, and you can easily detect the same. Now unscrew the case on the WiFi module and then remove the module. After that, unclip the connection ribbon on the WiFi module and then, using a soft brush, try cleaning it all nicely. In case the connection ribbon is bent, straighten it. Once done, reconnect everything back into its place. (If dealing with the hardware part is tricky for you, we advise you to take help from a technician).
Once the LG Smart TV is ready to Turn On, navigate to Settings > All Settings > Network. Turn on the WiFi, select your preferred network and connect. You may no longer face any issues now.
