To use a wireless network, your TV must connect wirelessly to a wireless IP sharer (either a router or a modem). If the
wireless IP sharer supports DHCP, your TV can use a DHCP or static IP address to connect to the wireless network.

Select a channel for the wireless IP sharer that is not currently being used. If the channel set for the wireless IP sharer
is currently being used by another device nearby, this will result in interference and communication failure.

If you apply a security system other than the systems listed below, it will not work with the TV.

If you select the Pure High-throughput (Greenfield) 802.11N mode and set your AP's Security Encryption type to WEP,
TKIP or TKIPAES (WPS2Mixed), your Samsung TV will not support the connection in compliance with new Wi-Fi
certification specifications.

If your AP supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), you can connect to the network via PBC (Push Button
Configuration) or PIN (Personal Identification Number). WPS will automatically configure the SSID and WPA key in
either mode.
x
If your router, modem, or device isn't certified, it may not connect to the TV via the "Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter."

Connection Methods: You can setup the wireless network connection four ways.

– Manual Setup
– Ad-Hoc
