Lg WebOS Smart Device keeps losing connection (fix: make sure the TV has a fixed IP address so it does not change) #5037

Is there something I am doing wrong that is causing the LG WebOS controller lose connection?
M1 Pro Macbook 14in
LG C5 42" (Quick start+ on, Wake on Lan On, SIMLINK CEC on, etc.)

I have tried resetting my TV 3 times now over the past 3 weeks, each new time, it will pair successfully to the LG WebOs controller -- providing me full volume control for the TV using keyboard and brightness (which works either way even without the LS WebOS). However, at random times (I cannot pinpoint when) when it does disconnect, I cannot pair it back up and reconnect. The connection status will keep trying but never connect and nothing else will appear on the tv to re-establish the connection (probably because it is not a new pairing).

Is there any way to re-establish the connection without resetting the TV again?

  • I've tried to reset the display settings on BetterDisplay, tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app

Nothing works other than resetting the TV and establishing a new connection for it to only work temporarily before disconnecting.
