Wired LAN → Type 4

* Type 1 is easier to set up if your router has an automatic setting button, e.g. Air Station One-Touch Secure System (AOSS). Most of the latest routers have this function. Check your router.

Type 1: Follow the configuration for Secured network with Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS).

Type 2: Follow the configuration for Secured network without Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS).

Type 3: Follow the configuration for Unsecured network with any type of wireless LAN router.

Type 4: Follow the configuration for Wired network set-up.

Type 1: Secured network with Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS)

The WPS standard makes security of a wireless home network as straightforward as pressing the WPS button on the wireless LAN router. Before setting up a wireless LAN, check the location of the WPS button on the router and verify how to use it.

For security purpose, [WPS (PIN)] provides a PIN code for your router. PIN code is renewed every time you select [WPS (PIN)].

1 Press HOME, then select [Settings] → [System Settings] → [Set-up] → [Network] → [Network Set-up].

4 Follow the instructions on the set-up screen.

Note

• If you use WPS for network set-up, the security settings of the wireless LAN router activate, and any equipment previously connected to the wireless LAN in a non-secure status will be disconnected from the network. In this case, activate the security settings of the disconnected equipment and then reconnect. Or, you can deactivate the security settings of the wireless LAN router, and then connect the equipment to a TV in a non-secure status.
• To use the network with IPv6, select [Settings] [System Settings] [Set-up] [Network] [IPv6/IPv4 Priority] [IPv6], then select [Easy] in [Set up network connection].
• When IPv6 is selected, HTTP Proxy cannot be set.

Type 2: Secured network without Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS)
