  1. 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).

Note

  • 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).
  • Depending on the operating environment of the network, connection speed may differ. The communication rate and quality are not guaranteed.

To turn off the built-in wireless LAN

  1. To disable [Wi-Fi], press the (Quick Settings) button on the remote control, then select [Settings] — [Network and Internet] — [Wi-Fi].

Hint

  • For smooth video streaming:
    • Change the setting of your wireless router to a high-speed networking standard such as 802.11n, 802.11ac or 802.11ax if possible.
      For details on how to change the setting, refer to the instruction manual of your wireless router, or contact the person who set up the network (network administrator).
    • If the above procedure does not deliver any improvement, change the setting of your wireless router to 5GHz, which may help improve the video streaming quality.
