A: If the Wi-Fi settings on the LG 86" Class 85A Series QNED evo AI MiniLED 4K UHD Smart webOS TV (2025), Model # 86QNED85AUA, are greyed out, it usually indicates a software glitch, network bug, or a failed internal Wi-Fi module. You can try to resolve the issue by power cycling (unplugging for 60 seconds), changing the "LG Service Country" to trigger a refresh, or disabling "Quick Start Plus". Unplugging the TV from the wall outlet for at least 1 minute (some say 45 minutes) to drain residual power and reset the module usually resolves this issue, or navigating to All Settings > General > Location > LG Service Country, changing it to a random country, letting it reset, then changing it back to your actual country. If your router is close, use a wired Ethernet cable to connect the TV to the internet and check for software updates under All Settings > General > About This TV. If all else fails, go to All Settings > General > Reset to Initial Settings. If the options are still greyed out, it may indicate a faulty Wi-Fi board, requiring repair...^Ivan.

I was worried for a minute but….
I was apprehensive at first after seeing some comments on this set being edge lit and seeing edge bleed but I have to say I’m not really seeing a tangible difference between this and the 65” Samsung OLED I swapped it out for. Are the blacks as black?… no… to the casual and even mildly educated user?..:. Maybe but not likely. Do yourself a favor. Buy this TV. You won’t be disappointed

Great TV, but has Wi-Fi connection issues
Hugeeee tv, we have a big wall in our living room, so the proportions are perfect! It does have issues staying connected to Wi-Fi, we have to reconnect it daily. We’ve had Xfinity out multiple times and it doesn’t seem to be an issue on their end which leads me to believe it’s the TV. Overall, the picture quality is great and I’m sure we’ll figure out the Wi-Fi issue.

LG 86 QNED Evo AI
Beautiful television. Very streamlined. Great picture quality. Sound is decent. For the size of the tv the price was decent also. Paired this up with a Denon sound bar and subwoofer for an awesome movie night experience. WebOS takes a minute to get used to but not an issue. Very happy with my purchase. Would highly recommend this television.
