If your router has WPS, you can directly connect to the router without scanning. Go to the router, press the WPS button and return to the TV within 2 minutes. Then press Connect to make the connection.

If you have devices in your wireless network that use the WEP security encryption system, you cannot use WPS.

If you must use the WPS pin code to connect, select Scan instead of WPS.

Step 6 - In the list of networks found, select your wireless network and press OK.

If your network is not in the list because the network name is hidden (you switched off the SSID broadcast of the router), select Manual entry to enter the network name yourself.

Step 7 - Depending on the type of router, you can now enter your encryption key (WEP, WPA or WPA2). If you entered the encryption key for this network before, you can select Next to make the connection immediately.

If your router supports WPS or WPS pin, you can select WPS, WPS pin or Standard. Select your choice and press OK.

-Standard

Select Standard to enter the encryption key (password, passphrase or security key) manually. You can use the keyboard on the RC to enter the encryption key. Once you have entered the key, press Connect.

-WPS pin

To make a secured WPS connection with a PIN code, select WPS pin and press OK. Write down the 8-digit PIN code shown and enter it in the router software on your PC. Return to the TV and press Connect. Consult the router manual on where to enter the PIN code in the router software.

Step 8 - A message will be shown when the connection is successful.

Network configuration

If the connection fails, you can check the DHCP setting of the router. DHCP should be set to On.

Alternatively, if you are an advanced user and want to install your network with static IP addressing, set the TV to Static IP. To set the TV to Static IP, press h and select S Setup and press OK. Select Network settings > Network configuration

>Static IP. With Static IP selected in the menu, you can set the IP address and other necessary settings in Static IP configuration in the same menu.

Network problems

Wireless network not found or distorted

Microwave ovens, DECT phones or other Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n devices in your proximity might disturb the wireless network.

Make sure that the firewalls in your network allow access to the TV's wireless connection.

If the wireless network does not work properly in your home, try the wired network installation.

Internet does not work

If the connection to the router is OK, check the router connection to the Internet.

The PC and Internet connection are slow

Look in your wireless router's user manual for information on indoor range, transfer rate and other factors of signal quality.

Use a high-speed (broadband) Internet connection for your router.

Wired connection
