Wireless Network
Connect the TV to the Internet using a standard router or modem.
Wireless Network Precautions
 
●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 
configures the SSID and WPA key settings.

If the problem persists, contact your Internet Service Provider.
Dynamic versus Static IP Addresses
If the network requires a dynamic IP address, use an ADSL modem or router that supports the 
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Modems and routers that support DHCP automatically 
provide the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS values the TV needs to access the Internet, so 
they do not have to be entered manually. Most home networks use a dynamic IP address.
If the network requires a static IP address, enter the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values 
manually when setting up the network connection. To get the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and 
DNS values, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
If the network requires a static IP address, use an ADSL modem that supports DHCP. ADSL modems 
that support DHCP also allow static IP addresses.
