Precautions for wireless Internet

- This TV supports the IEEE 802.11 a /b /g /n /ac communication protocols. Video files stored on a device connected to the TV via a Home Network may not play back smoothly.

Some of the IEEE 802.11 communication protocols may not be supported depending on the model or geographical area.
QN9**A series supports the IEEE 802.11 a /b /g /n /ac /ax communication protocols.
For models other than the QN9**A series, Samsung recommends using IEEE 802.11n.

- To use wireless Internet, the TV must be connected to a wireless access point or modem. If the wireless access point supports DHCP, the TV can use a DHCP or static IP address to connect to the wireless network.

- Select a channel that is not currently being used by the wireless access point. If the channel set is currently being used by the wireless access point to communicate with another device, the result is usually interference and/or a communications failure.

- Most wireless networks have an optional security system. To enable a wireless network's security system, you need to create a password using characters and numbers. This password is then needed to connect to a security-enabled access point.

Wireless security protocols

The TV only supports the following wireless network security protocols. The TV cannot connect to non-certified wireless access point.

– Authentication Modes: WEP, WPAPSK, WPA2PSK

– Encryption Types: WEP, TKIP, AES

In compliance with the Wi-Fi certification specifications, Samsung TVs do not support WEP or TKIP security encryption in networks running in the 802.11n mode. If the wireless access point supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), you can connect the TV to your network using PBC (Push Button Configuration) or a PIN (Personal Identification Number). WPS automatically configures the SSID and WPA key settings.

- The TV supports Mass Storage Class (MSC) USB devices only. MSC is a class designation for mass storage devices. Types of MSC devices include external hard drives, flash card readers, and digital cameras. (USB hubs are not supported.) These kinds of devices must be connected directly to the USB port. The TV may not be able to recognize a USB device or read the files on the device if it is connected with a USB extension cable. Do not disconnect USB devices while they are transferring files.

- When connecting an external hard drive, use the USB (HDD 5V 1A) port. We recommend that you use an external hard drive with its own power adapter.

USB (HDD 5V 1A) port is supported by some models.

- Certain digital cameras and audio devices may not be compatible with the TV.

- If there are multiple USB devices connected to the TV, the TV might not be able to recognize some or all the devices. USB devices that use high-power input should be connect to the USB (HDD 5V 1A) port.

USB (HDD 5V 1A) port is supported by some models.

- The TV supports the FAT, exFAT, and NTFS file systems.

- In the media contents list, the TV can display up to 1,000 files per folder. If the USB device contains more than 8,000 files and folders, however, some files and folders might not be accessible.

- Certain files, depending on how they are encoded, may not play on the TV.

- Certain files are not supported on all models.

- The DivX and DTS codecs are not supported by the Samsung TV models released in 2021.

Installing an anti-theft lock

An anti-theft lock is a physical device that can be used to protect the TV against theft. Look for the lock slot on the back of the TV. The slot has a ☑con next to it. To use the lock, wrap the lock cable around an object that is too heavy to carry and then thread it through the TV's lock slot. The lock is sold separately. The method of using an anti-theft lock may differ for each model. Refer to the lock's user manual for more information.

This function may not be supported depending on the model or geographical area.
