Precautions for wireless Internet
• This TV supports the IEEE 802.11 a /b /g /n /ac communication protocols. Video files stored on a device
connected to the TV via a Home Network may not play back smoothly.
Q950T, Q900T series supports the IEEE 802.11 a /b /g /n /ac /ax communication protocols.
For models other than the Q950T and Q900T series, Samsung recommends using IEEE 802.11n.
• To use wireless Internet, the TV must be connected to a wireless access point or modem. If the wireless access
point supports DHCP, the TV can use a DHCP or static IP address to connect to the wireless network.
• Select a channel that is not currently being used by the wireless access point. If the channel set is currently
being used by the wireless access point to communicate with another device, the result is usually interference
and/or a communications failure.
• Most wireless networks have an optional security system. To enable a wireless network's security system, you
need to create a password using characters and numbers. This password is then needed to connect to a security-
enabled access point.
Wireless security protocols
The TV only supports the following wireless network security protocols. The TV cannot connect to non-certified
wireless access point.
– Authentication Modes: WEP, WPAPSK, WPA2PSK
– Encryption Types: WEP, TKIP, AES
In compliance with the Wi-Fi certification specifications, Samsung TVs do not support WEP or TKIP security
encryption in networks running in the 802.11n mode. If the wireless access point supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected
Setup), you can connect the TV to your network using PBC (Push Button Configuration) or a PIN (Personal
Identification Number). WPS automatically configures the SSID and WPA key settings.
