Wireless Network Precautions
PDP 5500, LED 5500 series and above
 
●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. This security key is then 
needed to connect to the wireless network.

Network Security Protocols
The TV only supports the following wireless network security protocols and is unable to connect to 
non-certified wireless routers:
 
●Authentication Modes: WEP, WPAPSK, WPA2PSK
 
●Encryption Types: WEP, TKIP, AES
If the wireless router has been set to Pure High-throughput (Greenfield) 802.11n mode and the 
Encryption Type to WEP or TKIP, Samsung TVs will not support the connection in compliance with the 
new Wi-Fi certification specifications. 
If the wireless router supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), it is possible to connect to the network 
using PBC (Push Button Configuration) or a PIN (Personal Identification Number). WPS automatically
