If your network requires a Dynamic IP address, you should 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 your TV needs to access the Internet so you do not have to enter them manually. Most home networks use a Dynamic IP address. 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.
It is not supported when the network speed is below or equal to 10Mbps.
Use Cat 6 (*STP Type) cable for the connection. (*Shielded Twist Pair)

■Wireless Network Connection
To connect your TV to your wireless network, you need a wireless router or modem and a Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter (WIS09ABGNX, WIS12ABGNX), 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” (WIS09ABGNX, WIS12ABGNX) 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.
English
Page 53
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.
Your TV supports the following wireless security systems only:
Authentication Mode: WEP, WPAPSK, WPA2PSK
Encryption Type: WEP, AES
If you select the HIGH PURE THROUGHPUT (Greenfield) 802.11n mode and the Encryption type is set to WEP or TKIP 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.
English
Page 54
If your router, modem, or device is not certified, it may not connect to the TV via the “Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter”.
Ensure the TV is turned off before you connect the Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter.
Connection Methods: You can setup the wireless network connection like below.
Auto Setup (Using the Auto Network Search function)
Manual Setup
WPS (PBC)
The TV may not recognize the Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter if it is connected to the TV using a USB hub or USB extension cable other than
the cable supplied.

Notice
The picture may appear corrupted or have static for some channels when the TV is connected to the Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter. In such a case, establish a connection using one of the following methods or connect the Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter using a USB cable in a place that is not affected by radio interference.
Method 1
Connect using the USB right angle adapter. To connect the Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter using
the USB right angle adapter, follow these steps:
1. Connect the USB right angle adapter to the
Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter.
2. Connect the other end of the right angle
adapter to the USB port.

1. Connect the extension cable to the USB port.
2. Connect the extension cable and Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter.
3. Attach the Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter to the back of the TV near the
top, using double-sided adhesive tape.
The Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter should be installed in an

❑Setting the Wireless Network
■Wireless Network Setup (Auto)
Most wireless networks have an optional security system that requires devices that access the network to transmit an encrypted security code called an Access or Security Key. The Security Key is based on a Pass Phrase, typically a word or a series of letters and numbers of a specified length you were asked to enter when you set up wireless security for your wireless network. If you use this method of setting up the network connection, and have a Security Key for your wireless
network, you will have to enter the Pass Phrase during the automatic or manual setup process.

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 at 1-800-SAMSUNG.
