TV Side Panel TV Rear Panel

Samsung’s Wireless LAN adapter supports the IEEE 802.11A, IEEE 802.11B, IEEE

802.11G, and IEEE 802.11N wireless communication protocols. For your TV to

connect to your network, the wireless router or modem you use must also support one of these protocols. The fastest of these protocols is IEEE 802.11N.

Most wireless network systems incorporate a security system that requires devices that access the network through an access point or AP (typically a wireless modem or router) to transmit an encrypted security code called an access key.

For regular connections, your TV is compatible with the following security protocols:

• Authentication Mode: OPEN, SHARED, WPAPSK, WPA2PSK

• Encryption Type: WEP, TKIP, AES

Conﬁ guring the Network Connection - Wireless

The instructions below are for networks that use the Dynamic Host Conﬁ guration Protocol (DHCP) to conﬁ gure network connections automatically. If your have a Static IP network, see your user’s manual for conﬁ guration instructions.

To conﬁ gure your network connection for a network that uses DHCP, follow these steps:

1. Connect your TV to your network as

shown in the illustrations above.

2. Turn on your TV, press the

MENU button on your remote, and

the select Setup → Network.

3. Set the Network Type to Wireless if it is not already set to Wireless.

4. Select Network Setup. The Network Setup screen appears.

5. On the Network Setup menu, select an AP(Access Point) and ad hoc network.

Conﬁ guring the Network Connection - Wired

Most home networks use the Dynamic Host Conﬁ guration Protocol (DHCP) to conﬁ gure network connections. Home networks that support DHCP automatically provide the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values your TV needs to access the Internet so you don’t have to enter them manually.

To conﬁ gure your network connection for a network that uses DHCP, follow these steps:

1. Connect your TV to your network

as shown in one of the illustrations above.

2. Turn on your TV, press the MENU

button on your remote, and then select Setup → Network.

3. Set the Network Type to Wired if it is not already set to Wired.

4. Select Network Setup. The Network Setup screen appears.

5. On the Network Setup menu, set Internet Protocol Setup and DNS to Auto. Auto acquires and enters the necessary internet values automatically.

6. Select Network Test to check Internet connectivity.

Some networks are Static IP networks. If your network is a Static IP

✎

network, you can not use DHCP to conﬁ gure the network connection. Instead, you must enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and

DNS Server manually. For instructions explaining how to conﬁ gure a

Static IP network, see your user’s manual.
