TV to a router with a high speed connection to the
internet. You can also connect the TV to your Home
network server through a router or access point. The
TV connection to the router can either be wired or
wireless.
NOTE
• If you choose a wired connection to the router, you need
an ETHERNET cable (commercially available).
• If you do not have a broadband internet connection,
consult the store where you purchased your TV or ask
your internet service provider or telephone company.
• An Ethernet and wireless connection cannot be used at
the same time. Use only one of the connection types.
• A wireless LAN connection and performance cannot
be guaranteed for all residential environments. In the
