If you have a Dynamic Network, you should use an ADSL modem or router
that supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Modems and
routers that support DHCP automatically provide the IP address, subnet mask,
gateway, and DNS values your TV needs to access the Internet so you do not
have to enter them manually. Most home networks are Dynamic Networks.
Some networks require a Static IP address. If your network requires a Static
IP address, you must enter the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS
values manually on your TV’s Cable Setup Screen when you set up the
network connection. To get the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS
values, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP). If you have a Windows
computer, you can also get these values through your computer.



You can use ADSL modems that support DHCP if your network requires
a Static IP address. ADSL modems that support DHCP also let you use

Static IP addresses.

❑❑ Connecting❑to❑a❑Wireless❑Network❑ for LCD 550 series

To connect your TV to your wireless network, you need a wireless router or
modem and a Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter (WIS09ABGN, WIS09ABGN2,
WIS10ABGN), which you connect to your TV’s back or side panel USB port. See
the illustration below.

Samsung’s Wireless LAN adapter is sold separately and is offered by selected
retailers, Ecommerce sites and Samsungparts.com. Samsung’s Wireless LAN
adapter supports the IEEE 802.11a/b/g and n communication protocols.
Samsung recommends using IEEE 802.11n. When you play video over a network
connection, the video may not be played smoothly.



NOTE

●

You must use the

“Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter” (WIS09ABGN,

WIS09ABGN2, WIS10ABGN) to use a wireless network.

●

Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter and The USB extension Cable are sold
separately and are offered by selected retailers, Ecommerce sites and
Samsungparts.com.

●

To use a wireless network, your TV must be connected to a wireless IP
sharer (either a router or a modem). If the wireless IP sharer supports
DHCP, your TV can use a DHCP or static IP address to connect to the
wireless network.

◀ ▶

Eng lish

●

Select a channel for the wireless IP sharer that is not currently being used.
If the channel set for the wireless IP sharer is currently being used by
another device nearby, this will result in interference and communication
failure.

●

If you apply a security system other than the systems listed below, it will
not work with the TV.

●

If HIGH PURE THROUGHPUT (Greenfield) 802.11n mode is selected
and the Encryption type is set to WEP, TKIP or TKIP AES (WPS2Mixed)
for your wireless router, Samsung TVs will not support a connection in
compliance with new Wi-Fi certification specifications.

●

If your wireless router supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), you can
connect to the network via PBC (Push Button Configuration) or PIN
(Personal Identification Number). WPS will automatically configure the
SSID and WPA key in either mode.

◀ ▶

●

If your router, modem, or device is not certified, it may not connect to the
TV via the “Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter.”

If❑Your❑TV❑Fails❑to❑Connect❑to❑the❑Internet

Your TV may not be able to connect to the Internet because your ISP has permanently
registered the MAC address (a unique identifying number) of your PC or modem, which it
then authenticates each time you connect to the Internet as a way of preventing unauthorized
access. As your TV has a different MAC address, your ISP can not authenticate its MAC
address, and your TV can not connect.

To resolve this problem, ask your ISP about the procedures required to connect devices
other than a PC (such as your TV) to the Internet.

If your Internet service provider requires an ID or password to connect to the Internet, your
TV may not be able to connect to the Internet. If this is the case, you must enter your ID or
password when connecting to the Internet.

The internet connection may fail because of a firewall problem. If this is the case, contact your
Internet service provider.

If you cannot connect to the Internet even after you have followed the procedures of your
Internet service provider, please contact Samsung Electronics.
