Wireless Internet Precautions
●
This TV supports the IEEE 802.11a/b/g /n communication protocols. Samsung recommends using
IEEE 802.11n. Video files stored on a device connected to the TV via DLNA may not play back
smoothly.
●
To use wireless Internet, 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.
●
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.
●
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. This security key is then
needed to connect to a security-enabled AP.
Wireless Security Protocols
The TV only supports the following wireless network security protocols and is unable to connect to
non-certified wireless routers:
●
Authentication Modes: WEP, WPAPSK, WPA2PSK
●
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.
