nect to a wireless LAN network. 
The network configuration and connection method 
may vary depending on the equipment in use 
and the network environment. Refer to the setup 
instructions supplied with your access point or 
wireless router for detailed connection steps and 
network settings.
Setting up the AP (Access Point) or the wireless 
router is required before connecting the TV to the 
network. The easiest method is the WPS button 
method (Third method in this section). 
(Only 47/55LW95** : Built-in the Wi-Fi Module, 
Unnecessary Wireless LAN for Broadband/DLNA 
adaptor setup) y If you want to access the Internet directly 
on your TV, the broadband internet con -
nection should always be on.
 y If you cannot access the Internet, check 
the network conditions from a PC on your 
network. 
 yWhen you use Network Setting, check 
the LAN cable or chec k if DHCP in the 
router is turned  on.
 yIf you do not complete the network set-
tings, the network may not work properly.
NOTE
 yFor enjoying pictures, music, or video 
stored on a PC using the router, a wired 
connection  is recommended.
 yWhen the wireless port of the router is 
used, there may be restrictions  on some 
functions.
 y It is recommended that an Access Point 
(AP) be located  more than 1 m away from 
the TV. If the AP is installed closer than 1 
m, the magic motion remote control may 
not perform as expected due to frequency 
interference.
