•If you choose a wired connection to the router, you need an ETHERNET cable (commercially available).
•If you do not have a broadband internet connection, consult the store where you purchased your TV or ask your internet service provider or telephone company.
•An Ethernet and wireless connection cannot be used at the same time. Use only one of the connection types.
•A wireless LAN connection and performance cannot be guaranteed for all residential environments. In the following cases, the wireless LAN signal may be poor or drop, or the connection speed may become slower.

−When used with other wireless devices that emit the same frequency
−When used in the vicinity of microwave ovens and other devices that emit a magnetic field, electrostatic charge, or electromagnetic interference
