LAN Cable

Samsung’s Wireless LAN adapter supports the IEEE 802.11A, IEEE 802.11B, IEEE

802.11G, and IEEE 802.11N wireless communication protocols. For your TV to connect to your network, the wireless router or modem you use must also support one of these protocols. The fastest of these protocols is IEEE 802.11N.

Most wireless network systems incorporate a security system that requires devices that access the network through an access point or AP (typically a wireless modem or router) to transmit an encrypted security code called an access key.

For regular connections, your TV is compatible with the following security protocols:

• Authentication Mode: OPEN, SHARED, WPAPSK, WPA2PSK

• Encryption Type: WEP, TKIP, AES

Network Connection - Wired

There are two main ways to connect your TV to your network using cable, depending on your network setup. They are illustrated below:
