Yep. I have mine on manual update, so haven’t updated.

 

Two updates ago it stuffed the wifi on the TV when screen saver ran. Had to wait a few weeks for another update to fix.

 

As everything is working in no hurry to apply this update.

Updated my W8 a few days ago. No problems since (that I have noticed). I also did a search online to see what the update achieved but found nothing.

 

Likewise, I use wired Ethernet.

Yeah it would have been nice to release the change log to go with it.

I have manually updated our WiFi C8 - no apparent issues. Unfortunately LG don’t issue change logs for webOS updates.

 

I have also updated our C9 - different version of webOS to the C8.





Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

I’m getting similar wifi issues as a few updates ago. Netflix tests only 15-20Mbps, disconnect and reconnect wifi and it’s up in the 220Mbps range again… for a while.

They do issue change logs but it’s rather basic


“ 1) Software update contains minor bug fix”

If you goto
https://www.lg.com/nz/support/software-firmware
Search then click “reference” it will show the update history
