About built-in wireless LAN
To use the built-in wireless LAN, using an access point is recommended.
To use the built-in wireless LAN in the access point mode, up to 7 devices are connectable. But the transfer rate
will vary according to communication environment or connected equipments.
Do not use the built-in wireless LAN to connect to any wireless network (SSID*¹) for which you do not have usage
rights. Such networks may be listed as a result of searches. However, using them may be regarded as illegal access.
(If it does not support WPS, the encryption key of the Access point is required when conguring settings.)
Follow the instructions on the Access point setup screen and congure the appropriate security settings.For more
details on setting of Access point, please refer to operating manual for the Access point.
We recommend using 11n (2.4 GHz) for the wireless system between the built-in wireless LAN and Access point.
Communication is also possible with 11a, 11b, and 11g, but the communication speed may be slower.
If the wireless system of the Access point is changed, devices that could connect by wireless LAN may no longer
be able to connect.
Data transmitted and received over radio waves may be intercepted and monitored.
Keep the TV away from the following devices as much as possible:Wireless LAN, microwaves, and other devices
