Connecting to your Internet 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 the 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 (Hotel Option menu > Smart Service >
Network Setup > (Open Network Settings > Wireless or Wired)).
Establishing a wireless Internet connection
Connect the TV to the Internet using a wireless access point or
modem.

• This TV supports the IEEE 802.11 a /b /g /n /ac communication
protocols. Samsung recommends using IEEE 802.11n. Otherwise,
when you play video over a network connection, the video may
not play smoothly.
– Some of the IEEE 802.11 communication protocols may not
be supported depending on the model or geographical area.
• To use a wireless network, the TV must be connected to a wireless
access point or modem. If the wireless access point 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 access
point. If the channel set for the wireless access point is currently
being used by another device, the result is usually interference 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, and then enter that
key into the access point through its menu. You then must enter
this security key into any other devices you want to connect to the
wireless network.

protocols:

In compliance with the 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 access point 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.
