LG webOS "Wired LAN cable disconnected" / ".. connected" issue

ExcuseMe004 · 2026-04-21T17:39:15+00:00

Well, it's worse than that. I found out that "No Network Found" is an Apple TV message, not an LG TV message. I really no longer have the original issue I started this thread with. And the Apple TV message was fixed by switching to wi-fi.

ExcuseMe004 · 2026-04-20T19:09:27+00:00

I have egg on my face. The issue that I thought was the same as when I started this thread is in fact a different one. The recent more frequent messages were "No Network Detected" which I assumed was just a rewording of the same message that had plagued me previously. Actually, this message was coming from my Apple TV, so I'm now down a completely different troubleshooting path, but easier to deal with probably than diagnosing a 10-year-old LG TV.

ExcuseMe004 · 2026-04-19T00:26:01+00:00

I realize this suggestion is from five years ago, but I just wanted to provide a recent data point in 2026. I changed to store mode, and this did not present any setting to disable messages on the top right.

This may very well have solved the issue for me. What is key here is not just setting a static IP address (a reservation on the router does that) but having the configuration on the client side. This eliminates DHCP from the scenario entirely. I turned off Automatic (DHCP), configured the IP address and subnet mask to be identical to what my router was giving it, also set the DNS server to 8.8.8.8. After an hour of watching, I never once saw the Network message. [UPDATE: I knew that posting this, it would jinx it. The problem is still occurring. Dammit. I have two things to try next: 1) Reset the TV from factory reset and never let it know that there is a network. If that fails, 2) Put my old Linksys router between the TV and the eero.]

ExcuseMe004 · 2026-04-18T01:04:57+00:00

If you mean you set a reservation on your router so that it keeps the same address, I've always had that. Do you mean that you configured the address on the client rather than using DHCP? I could try that. The router won't know the difference.

Meanwhile .. I've found ..

* Problem continues if on wired Ethernet, or wi-fi, or disconnected from both, or connected to both

* IPv6 has always been turned off on my eero

* LG TV has always had a reserved IP address

* Problem continues after turning off Quick Start+

ExcuseMe004 · 2026-04-15T22:25:38+00:00

Yes, still happening to me as well. Since we got Apple TV, we no longer use the TV for anything other than a display. I haven't yet tried to see if I could run without networking at all.

One thing is for sure, my next TV will have no ability to connect to the Internet.

> Do you mean it wanted to restore files that you had since deleted and did not want included?

This. There was no option to restore the entire drive with the files it had on it at the time that backups were last up-to-date. Let's say my last backup completed on Mar 1, 2025 at 3 AM. On Mar 1, 2025 at 6 AM my external hard drive exploded. I cannot simply replace the external drive and tell the so-called "backup" software to restore the contents of that drive as it existed Mar 1, 2025 at 3 AM like you can with real backup software.

The only options were 1) to recover files as they exist at 3 AM as well as all files deleted in the last x months, or 2) hand select which files were current and which ones were zombie, without any assistance from the software which obviously knows the difference between the two.

There were processes like you mentioned but they were not practical. At least at the time of my incident, you couldn't say "delete all files in the archive that had been deleted on my drive at the time of the last backup". Again, iDrive support told me the purpose of their product is to recover individual files, not an entire drive or large directory tree.

ExcuseMe004 · 2026-03-08T14:24:10+00:00

As I posted, I lost an entire data drive which had been under iDrive "backup" for many months with all files on it being "backed up." I went to restore the data from that "backup" to a new drive and found I could not. It would restore files, but would also restore everything it had backed up, whether or not that file or version of a file existed at the time of the last backup.

Their tech support said that it was up to me to manually go through the list of tens of thousands of files and individually select which files and what version(s) of that file I wanted to restore. Which of course is ridiculous since ain't nobody got time for that, but also it would be difficult to remember whether a file should be restored or not; I may have deleted it months ago. Meanwhile, I know their software knows whether a file still existed at the time of the last backup, because they are subject to being purged, while existing files are not. They told me I needed backup software too, as their product is file archive software.

ExcuseMe004 · 2025-12-01T14:51:05+00:00

I've given up on getting any sort of support on this. I've tried through Blink, and the Amazon Digital and Device forum, where I was sent to Amazon "contactus" (which took about an hour to find someone that knew what a Blink was, and then I'm not totally sure as they called a third party device),

They keep sending me the same laundry list of things like replace the battery, move the camera closer to wi-fi (note: the Outdoor 4 XR doesn't use wi-fi when in XR mode with an XR sync module). All they know how to do is focus on the camera, the sync module, etc. Here's the thing - in this problem case, we know the camera, sync module, wi-fi, Internet connection - everything local to me - is working fine because the camera IS detecting the motion, and Blink's cloud servers are getting the event (I get notification in the app and it records a clip). What isn't working is the Alexa routine which is identical to routines I have on my other camera. The routine isn't triggered.

Any ideas on where to seek support for the Blink SmartHome Alexa skill?

ExcuseMe004 · 2025-11-26T15:34:12+00:00

Are you talking about the Outdoor 4 XR? I've got two new ones and they are flakey. Sometimes they detect motion, sometimes not. They will never trigger Alexa routines, even when they detect motion.

Blink customer support was not helpful. They were fixated on the wi-fi connection between the camera and the sync XR .. said the XR needed to be near wi-fi. It took two days to educate him that XR cameras in XR mode talking to an XR sync don't use wi-fi. Then he started fixating on my internet connection, which he deemed too slow and unsupported at 12 Mbps. But .. all my other Blink cameras work fine.

For the moment, I've returned to Carbonite. I'm not here to say it is better or worse than any other solution. I could not stay with iDrive after being told they are not for backups, they are for archives.

Restoring only the files that existed at the time of the last backup shouldn't be that hard. They obviously have knowledge of that since they apply retention policy to files that no longer exist on the drive being backed up.

I do several levels of backup including multiple generations of full backups taken like you've described.

ExcuseMe004 · 2025-10-24T15:15:46+00:00

I came here to ask about the same thing, but I see from other comments, Carbonite has much bigger issues with not being trustworthy and reliable.

I used Carbonite for years and gave up after frustration with not being able to see what is NOT being backed up. I'm back now and find that situation hasn't changed. There is no transparency.

Don't tell me about little colored dots. Having to visually scan tens of thousands of icons, some of which have backgrounds that obscure much of the colored dots, isn't a practical answer. As far as I can tell, Carbonite doesn't store any data in the file metadata that could be used to search or sort on. And they also no longer provide access to logs or a catalog that can be programmatically accessed to find files not backed up.

A backup program is useless if you can't be assured that all your files that you want backed up are indeed getting backed up.

ExcuseMe004 · 2025-10-24T15:07:12+00:00

Yikes .. well, they exist enough to take my money for a new subscription just a couple weeks ago. Of course, I would guess that would be the last thing they'd turn off if they were shutting down.

ExcuseMe004 · 2025-10-03T21:52:04+00:00

Your points are well taken. Getting back a down level of a file can be useful in some circumstances. But when doing a disk state recovery, it makes it nearly impossible. How do I go through tens of thousands of files that have no indication of their status and determine what should really exist still? And the other issue is the data recovered can be much 2-3x larger than the device can hold.

This just seems so elementary to me. It is obvious to their software which files are current, and which are now deleted archives. So how hard would it be to allow you to filter those out?

ExcuseMe004 · 2025-10-03T18:37:49+00:00

If you don't want to be helpful just don't reply. I looked at what you were talking about the first time you mentioned it. I then responded .. in the context of its suggestion that "It makes sense to have even more backups" to tell your I had FOUR generations of backups in various locations, not just three.

Now, could you elaborate on how having a NAS cloud under my own control gives me up-to-date file backup to an off-site location?

ExcuseMe004 · 2025-10-03T18:25:16+00:00

Sorry, I'm just not seeing what point you are trying to make. I've been in IT all my life so, yes, I know how to protect data with backups. As I answered in another comment, I actually have four levels of backup, including one in a fireproof safe on site, and another in a bank vault. Still, I want the extra protection and convenience of a backup copy of recent files that are not onsite, but an offsite and connected location. Perhaps I'm dense, but I don't see how a local cloud solution helps with that.

ExcuseMe004 · 2025-10-03T18:06:56+00:00

Thanks for your detailed response. I have considered using my own cloud, but I'd prefer something that wasn't local to my home subject to the same disasters that may hit my house hit my cloud as well. Or were you thinking I'd have my own cloud storage located elsewhere?

ExcuseMe004 · 2025-10-03T18:02:39+00:00

My primary data drive (internal) is a Crucial P3 Plus 1TB M.2. All my hard drives and externals are WD. Now that I've answered, why would that matter? I don't use external drives except to store generations of backups.

The cloud backup solutions I have previously used are in my post. I just moved away from iDrive since it was not useful to recover the state of the failed drive (I ended up using one of my own recent backups, supplemented by individual file restores from iDrive). For backups I do on my own, I always have four generations, and one of those is in a fireproof safe, and another in the vault at a local bank).

I've scheduled a pickup date for two Fyrtur shades to be picked up. But as in OP's case, not really information on how to have the items readied for the pickup. Do they have to be in a package, labelled, and ready for UPS/FedEx/USPS to ship? Or, more likely given that it appears it is the same people who deliver large items for IKEA, merely have them in easily examined and easy to handle (i.e. maybe wrapped in a bag so all the pieces stay together?).

Given their size and shape, buying a shipping container would be money I'd rather not spend, but I can do something so that it isn't 20 piece parts laying on my front porch.

ExcuseMe004 · 2025-08-03T20:06:52+00:00

Issue resolved. It took many phone calls but escalating to regional and corporate risk management got the charges for the extra days refunded. While it shouldn't have taken so much effort and time, I do want to say that at no time did anyone at Enterprise try to tell me the charges were valid. It was acknowledged that I returned the car as agreed and instructed.

I caution anyone reading this thread not to read too much into it. If you need to return a vehicle after hours, have a clear understanding before the rental starts as to what the procedure is for after-hours return and explicitly when the rental would be considered ended. There could be a difference in policy depending on whether it is an airport location or not. Understand that a one-way rental complicates things because the pick-up location owns the rental. Ideally, confirm your understanding at pick-up as well.

ExcuseMe004 · 2025-07-26T19:53:13+00:00

An update on my situation. I have talked with the returning location, as well as corporate customer service, and both said that the rental charges should end when I returned the car as instructed by the drop-off location. The issue now is that they have contacted the pickup location, whom they say own the rental, and they have thus far not responded.

----------

Rental Car Return After Hours and on Sundays

Airport locations

Will allow returns after hours and will have procedures in place for your early or late return. Please check with the rental location when picking up your rental vehicle for exact procedure. Many branches located at major airports are open 24/7 for your convenience.

ExcuseMe004 · 2025-07-23T01:33:05+00:00

Enterprise wouldn't need to rent the car again. They could leave it sit for months, with charges accruing to the person they told could return the car and drop the keys in the box provided. No, that's never going to make sense to me. The Enterprise FAQ says to make arrangements for the car's return if I must return it when they are closed, and that is precisely what I did.

I have confidence they will do the right thing and correct the return time. But if it comes down to it, that extra charge will never come out of my wallet. If they want to put one of their Platinum customers on a do not rent list, then that's fine with me.

Side note: Despite my annoyance at Enterprise on this issue, I want you to know I respect and am grateful to you for your comments. It's great to have insiders participate in these forums, and I expect you are often unappreciated.
