A wired LAN connection allows you to access the Internet.

Make sure to connect to the Internet via a router.

If you are using a modem with router functions, you do not need to prepare a separate router. Ask your service provider for information about your modem’s specifications.

Set up your LAN router. For details, refer to the instruction manual of your LAN router, or contact the person who set up the network (network administrator).
Once a LAN cable is connected, the TV will automatically connect to the network. You can check your status in [Settings] — [Network and Internet] — [Network status] — [Check Connection].

It is strongly recommended for security purposes to connect your TV to the Internet via a router/modem that includes router functionality. Direct connection of your TV to the Internet may expose your TV to a security threat such as extraction or tampering of content or personal information.
Contact your service provider or network administrator to confirm your network includes router functionality.
The network-related settings that are required may vary depending on the Internet service provider or router. For details, refer to the instruction manuals provided by the Internet service provider or those supplied with the router. You can also contact the person who set up the network (network administrator).
