Wireless Connectivity

To Connect to a Wireless Network
The TV cannot connect to the networks with a hidden
SSID. To make your modem's SSID visible, you should
change your SSID settings via the modem's software.
1. Broadband ISP connection
A Wireless-N router (IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n) with
simultaneous 2.4 and 5 GHz bands is designed to
increase bandwidth. These are optimized for smoother
and faster HD video streaming, file transfers and
wireless gaming.
• The frequency and channel differ depending on
the area.
• The transmission speed differs depending on the
distance and number of obstructions between the
transmission products, the configuration of these
products, the radio wave conditions, the line traffic
and the products that you use. The transmission may
also be cut off or may get disconnected depending
on the radio wave conditions, DECT phones or any
other WLAN 11b appliances. The standard values of
the transmission speed are the theoretical maximum
values for the wireless standards. They are not the
actual speeds of data transmission.
• The location where the transmission is most effective
differs depending on the usage environment.
• The Wireless feature of the TV supports 802.11 a,b,g
& n type modems. It is highly recommended that
you should use the IEEE 802.11n communication
protocol in order to avoid any possible problems
while watching videos.
• You must change your modem's SSID when there
are any other modems around with the same SSID.
You can encounter connection problems otherwise.
Configuring Wireless Device Settings
Open the Network menu and select Network Type as
Wireless Device to start connection process.
Highlight Scan Wireless Networks option and press
OK to start a search for available wireless networks.
All found networks will be listed. Highlight your desired
network from the list and press OK to connect. A
network with hidden SSID can not be detected by
other devices. If you want to connect to a network with
hidden SSID, scroll down the list of detected wireless
networks, highlight the Add New Network option and
press OK. Enter the name of the network and select
1
the security type using the related options to connect.
Note: If the modem supports N mode, you should set N
mode settings.
If the selected network is password-protected, enter
the correct key by using the virtual keyboard. You can
use this keyboard via the directional buttons and the
OK button on the remote control.
Wait until the IP address is shown on the screen.
This means that the connection is now established.
To disconnect from a wireless network, highlight
Network Type and press Left or Right buttons to set
as Disabled.
If you have connected to a wireless network Dis-
connect option will appear in the Network menu and
your wireless network profile will also be saved, thus
your TV will connect to the same network automati-
cally whenever you switch to wireless connection. To
disconnect from a wireless network and delete the
saved wireless network profile, highlight Disconnect
and press OK.
If your router has WPS, you can directly connect to the
modem/router without entering a password or adding
the network first. Highlight Press WPS on your wifi
router option and press OK. Go to your modem/router
device and press the WPS button on it to make the
connection. You will see a connection confirmation on
your TV once the devices have paired. Select OK to
proceed. No further configuration is required.
Highlight Internet Speed Test and press the OK button
to check your internet connection speed. Highlight
Advanced Settings and press the OK button to
open the advanced setting menu. Use directional and
numeric buttons to set. Highlight Save and press the
OK button to save settings when complete.
