like Philips MediaManager*, Windows Media Player 11,
Twonky™ or similar.

WPS PIN and press OK . Write down the 8-digit PIN code
shown and enter it in the router software on your PC. Return to
the TV and press Connect . Consult the router manual on where
to enter the PIN code in the router software.

successful.
Network configuration
If the connection fails, you can check the DHCP setting of the
router. DHCP should be set to On .

OK . Select Network settings > Network settings > Network
configuration > Static IP . With Static IP selected in the menu,
you can set the IP address and other necessary settings in Static
