Wireless Network Precautions
• This 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.
• 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, 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:
• 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.
