To use a wireless network, the TV must be connected to a wireless router or modem. If the wireless router supports DHCP, the TV can use a DHCP or static IP addmss to connect to the wireless network.
Select a channel that is not currently in use for the wireless router. If the channel set for the wireless router is currently being used by another device, the result is usually interference and/or a communications failure.
Most wireless networks have an optional security system.

IMPORTANT WARRANTY INFORMATION REGARDING TELEVISION FORMAT VIEWING
See the warranty card for more information on warranty terms. Wide screen format LED Displays (with i 6:9 aspect ratios, the ratio of the screen width to height) are primarily designed to view wide screen format full-motion video. The images displayed on them should primarily be in the wide screen, i 6:9 ratio format, or expanded to fill the screen, if your model offers this feature, with the images constantly in motion. Displaying stationary graphics and images on the screen, such as the dark sidebars on nonexpanded standard format television video and programming , should be limited to no more than 5% of the total television viewing time per week. Additionally, viewing other stationary images and text such as stock market crawls, video game displays, station logos, websites or computer graphics and patterns, should be limited as described above for all televisions. Displaying stationary images that exceed the above guidelines can cause uneven aging of LED Displays that leave subtle, but permanent burned-in ghost images in the LED picture. To avoid this, vary the programming and images, and primarily display full screen moving images, not stationary patterns or dark bars . On LED models that offer picture sizing features, use these controls to view different formats as a full screen picture. Be careful about the television formats you select and the length of time you view them. Uneven LED aging as a result of format selection and use, as well as burned in images, are not covered by your Samsung limited warranty.
