I kid you not, LG Washer's have DLCs (Downloadable Laundry Cycles). It adds no value.

I had basically hooked up the washer to wifi when we first got it and forgot about it. The thing is, the washer doesn't let you disconnect the wifi after it's configured. It only allows you to switch to a different wifi and only if that wifi has internet.

Hook it up to the guest network (it prevents snooping your network) an then change the guest network password to withhold access.
Block its MAC address on your WiFi router - as long as it doesn’t keep changing its MAC address.
in that case you can use a whitelist and block all unknown MACs
so when the internet is down, you can't wash? that should not be allowed.
