Connecting the TV to your home
network (LAN)
The TV requires use of a router for connection to your
established home network (LAN).
A wired connection (Ethernet 802.3) uses an
Ethernet cable and connects through a router.
A wireless connection (Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n)
must use the TV internal wireless antennas and
connect through a router.
n
For the best wireless performance,
HP recommends use of dual-band
802.11n Wi-Fi.
Connect the TV to the router in your PC LAN by
connecting an Ethernet cable for a wired connection,
as described in this procedure. For a wireless
connection, the TV has internal wireless antennas that
are ready to use; no antenna or other connection is
necessary.
