Changing network settings
If needed, you can change your network settings at any time. For example, if you change the name of your wireless
network (its SSID) or its password, you will need to change your TV’s settings so that it can continue to connect. Also, if
you decided not to connect to the Internet in “
, you can use Network settings to connect
at a later time.
To change network settings, from the
Home
screen menu, navigate to
Settings > Network
, and then press
. At this
point, you can choose the following options:
•
Update connection
– Press
OK
to start the update process. The TV uses your current wireless network
name and password to reconfirm the Wi-Fi connection, the local network connection, and the Internet
connection.
•
Set up new Wi-Fi connection
– Press
OK
to start a scan for wireless networks. The TV scans for the wireless
networks within range and displays the first few it finds in order, with the strongest signals first. In addition
to your own wireless signal, the TV might pick up signals from your neighbors. Now you can do one of the
following:
o
Select your network name
– Select the name of your network and then enter your wireless
password if requested.
o
Scan again
– If you don’t see your wireless network name in the list, select
Scan again
to list all
networks in range. The first scan listed only the first few, strongest wireless signals. The second
scan sometimes results in a longer list. If you still don’t see your network name, you might need
to adjust the location of the wireless router or the TV, turn on your router, or make other changes.
When everything is ready, select
Scan again
to repeat the network scan.
