Network/Application Symptoms
Sometimes video streaming quality is poor when using the wireless LAN.
- The wireless network connection quality varies depending on the distance or obstacles (e.g. wall) between the TV and the wireless router (access point), environmental interference, and the quality of the wireless router (access point). In this case, use a wired connection for the Internet, or try the 5GHz band.
- The 5GHz band may not be supported depending on your region/country. If the 5GHz band is not supported, the TV can only connect to a wireless router (access point) using the 2.4GHz band.
Wireless LAN connection fails or radio reception conditions are poor.
- Check the installation location of the TV and wireless router (access point). Signal condition may be affected for the following reasons.
- - Other wireless devices, microwaves, fluorescent lights, etc., are placed nearby.
- - There are floors or walls between the wireless router (access point) and TV.
- If the problem persists even after checking the above, try making a wired LAN connection.
The TV cannot connect with your wireless router (or access point) at 5GHz.
- While [Wi-Fi Direct] is set to [On], you cannot connect to a wireless router (or access point) at 5GHz. Set [Wi-Fi Direct] to [Off]. Press the HOME button, then select [Settings] → [Network] → [Wi-Fi Direct] → [Off].

If the problem still exists, perform step 1 again.
If the problem persists, troubleshoot the Internet connection via the following:
- Check that an active Internet connection exists with a wired router, wireless bridge, or wireless gaming adapter.
- Reset the network equipment, such as cable modem, wired/wireless router, by powering off and on, then attempt step 1 again.
- If the problem continues, wait a while and try step 1 again.
- Confirm the Internet speed meets the minimum recommended specification of 2.5 Mbps for standard definition (SD) content and 10 Mbps for High Definition (HD) content.
- Test the quality of service of your LAN connection by checking ping, jitter and packet loss. (Ping should be under 30ms, jitter should be less than 3ms, and packet loss should be 0.)
