Samsung recommends using IEEE 802.11n. When you play video over a network connection, the video may not play smoothly.

•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 product supports only the following wireless network security protocols.

If you select the Pure High-throughput (Greenfield) 802.11n mode and the

Encryption type is set to WEP, TKIP or TKIP AES (WPS2Mixed) on your AP or wireless router, Samsung products 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.

•Connection Methods: You can setup the wireless network connection in three ways.

Automatic Network Setup (Wireless)

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 enterwhen you set up security foryourwireless network. If you use this method of setting up the network connection, and have a Security Key foryourwireless network, you will have to enter the Pass Phrase during the the automatic or manual setup process.
