Connecting to the Network
You can set up your TV so that it can access the SMART TV applications through your local area network (LAN) using a
wired or wireless connection.
✎
After you have “physically” connected your TV to your network, you must configure the network connection to
complete the process. You can configure the connection after the Initial Setup process, through the TV’s menu.
Network Connection - Wireless
Connect the TV to the Internet using a standard wireless router or modem.

This Smart TV supports the IEEE 802.11a/b/g /n communication protocols. Samsung recommends using IEEE 802.11n.
Otherwise, when you play video over a network connection, the video may not play smoothly.

To use a wireless network, the TV must be connected to a wireless router or modem. If the wireless router supports
DHCP, the TV can use a DHCP or static IP address to connect to the wireless network.
y
Select a channel that is not currently in use for the wireless router. If the channel set for the wireless router is currently
being used by another device, the result is usually interference and/or a communications failure.
y
Most wireless networks have an optional security system. To enable a wireless network's security system, you need to
create a security key using characters and numbers, and then enter that key into the router through its menu. You then
must enter this security key into any other devices you want to connect to the wireless network.
Network Security Protocols
The TV only supports the following wireless network security protocols:
y
Authentication Modes: WEP, WPAPSK, WPA2PSK
y
Encryption Types: WEP, TKIP, AES
In compliance with the newest Wi-Fi certification specifications, Samsung TVs do not support WEP or TKIP security
encryption in networks running in the 802.11n mode.
If the wireless router supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), you can connect the TV to your network using PBC (Push
Button Configuration) or a PIN (Personal Identification Number). WPS automatically configures the SSID and WPA key
settings.
Your Smart TV cannot connect to uncertified wireless routers.
