7.1.1 Connecting to a Wired Network
There are three ways to attach your product to your LAN using cable.
zYou can attach your product to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the back of your product to 
an external modem using a LAN cable. See the diagram below.
zYou can attach your product to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the back of your product to 
an IP Sharer which is connected to an external modem. Use LAN cable for the connection. See the 
diagram below.
zDepending on how your network is configured, you may be able to attach your product to your LAN 
by connecting the LAN port on the back of your product directly to a network wall outlet using a LAN 
cable. See the diagram below. Note that the wall outlet is attached to a modem or router elsewhere 
in your house.
zIf you have a Dynamic Network, 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 product needs to

access the Internet so you do not have to enter them manually. Most home networks are Dynamic 
Networks.
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 product 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 y
our network requires a Static IP address. ADSL 
modems that support DHCP also let you use Static IP addresses.

7.1.3 Connecting to a Wireless Network
To connect your product to your network wireless, you need a wireless router or modem and a Samsung 
Wireless LAN adapter (WIS10ABGN, WIS12ABGNX) , which you connect to your 
product 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 usin g IEEE 802.11n. When you play video over a 
network connection, the video may not play smoothly.
 zYou must use the “Samsung Wireless LAN adap ter” (WIS10ABGN, WIS12ABGNX) to use a 
wireless network.
zThe Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter and the USB extension Cable are sold separately and are 
offered by select retailers, Ecommerce sites, and Samsungparts.com.
zTo use a wireless network, your product must be connected to a wireless IP sharer (either a router 
or a modem). If the wireless IP sharer supports DHCP, your product can use a DHCP or static IP 
address to connect to the wireless network.
zSelect 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.
zYour product supports only the follow ing wireless network security protocols.
†Authentication Mode: WEP, WPAPSK, WPA2PSK
†Encryption Type: WEP, TKIP, AES.
zIf 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 TVs will not 
support a connection in compliance with new Wi-Fi certification specifications.
zIf 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.
zIf your router, modem, or device is not certified, it may not connect to the product via the 
“Samsung Wireless LAN adapter.”
zEnsure the product is turned on before you connect the Samsung Wireless LAN adapter.
zConnection Methods: You can setup the wireless network connection in five ways.
