Connecting the TV to your home
network (LAN)
Connect the TV to the router in your PC local area
network (LAN) by connecting an Ethernet cable for a
wired connection, as described in this procedure. For
a wireless connection, the TV has internal wireless
antennas, which are ready to use; no antenna or other
connection is necessary.
The TV requires use of a router for connection to your
established home network (LAN).
A wired connection (Ethernet 802.3) uses an
■
Ethernet cable and connects through a router.
A wireless connection (Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n)
■
must use the TV internal wireless antennas and
connect through a router.
n
HP recommends use of dual-band 802.11n
Wi-Fi for best wireless performance.
