Do you actually need to buy a samsung USB LAN adapter to get the TV to connect to WiFi? I believe this is suppose to e built in.

Wifi is built in though the apps run very slow. I don't use that feature, I use my own external streaming devices.

You are correct that the WiFi is built in and it works very well. No additional hardware required.

You need a wifi "stick" which goes into the USB port on the side and is (was?) sold separately. I did not buy the official Samsung LinkStick WiFi adapter, but got a Rosewill RNX-N1 which was cheaper (but no longer sold). I see Samsung sells the WIS12ABGNX Network adapter for far less now ($35) on Amazon. I would try that. Do note: if at all possible, a wired connection is preferred, much better for streaming movies from places like VuDu.

Based on the way you phrased your question, it seems that your TV is WiFi capable without an adapter. In that case you do not need the IOGEAR Ethernet adapter and all you would need to do is to configure your TV to communicate with your router. If, however, your TV does not have built-in wireless capability, but has an Ethernet port, the IOGEAR Ethernet adapter will work. Both the adapter and the TV will need to be properly configured.

Can you explain what you actually want to do? Connect to the TV via your computer or iPad? I'm not sure this is possible. Otherwise, the wi-fi works fine for updating the Samsung firmware, SmartTV HUB and all its apps

no. the WiFi is working perfect. I have 2 TVs. both of them connect with no issues.

You will need to check if your TV supports Wifi Adapters. If so then you will be able to use this adapter. But remember to check first with Sony. I suggest you go to Sony Web page and ask on the support section.

I use a widi connection, you only need a device if your TV is not widi compatible. I believe I have a dlink widi device for my TV

Hi there, unfortunately it appears that most TVs don't recognize USB adapters unless the manual says that it does. I actually tried it on my Samsung TV and it didn't recognize the dongle at all. The USB port on your TV is most likely only to allow you to access USB storage (ie. a flash drive). This particular dongle needs Windows 8/7/Vista to support it so that your device can download the proper drivers that it needs and configure the right bluetooth profile so that you are able to pair devices. You may want to consider looking into wireless TV headphones instead. Hope that helps.

Yes, but you have to buy Samsung's expensive USB wireless adapter, it will not recognize a regular USB wireless adapter, otherwise it works fine and I have it networked to all of my other and Newer smart TVs. TV is limited with AllShare, most of my computer folders that I share on the network exceed the specs. Therefore, I use my Netgear Centria and Windows to access shared media from that TV. Picture is awesome, best one in the house for viewing.

I'm not sure if I am understanding your questions.. but I inserted the WiFi devise that came with this TV, and followed the instruction appeared on the screen to set it up. It was quite simple and it's working.

@Michael D Swearingen,I'm sorry but no. The only WiFi adapter that will work with any TV, Blu-Ray Player, printer, (any non-computer) is the proprietary adapter from the company that makes that device. This adapter is not designed to work with any TV's USB port.Thanks,Medialink Customer Support856-216-8222Tue-Sat 9am to 6pm Easternsupport@medialinkproducts.com

Mine is HDMI connected to my WiFi and works just fine. The only issue is the clunky way you navigate without owning a Samsung TV / Mouse.

Im not sure since i have a Galaxy S3 phone and I usually use the adapter for external peripherals(mouse,keyboard,flash drive etc).I havent used it with a tv before but there should be a way whereby you can connect to the tv through your wifi connection.good luck!

My understanding is that all of the 'smart' TVs put out by Samsung are wifi ready -- but you'd have to check the specs of the model because they produce so many variations with small features included / excluded on what seems an arbitrary basis. Note, the model of TV in this post is NOT a Smart TV.

It's up to you. You can do either. if your tv doesn't have a wifi connection, then yes you have to use a lan port.

No, this TV has not a LAN connection; you may have to connect a HD tv for a better image.
