To connect, you can use 2 simple methods: a wireless type with Wi-Fi or connecting a TV and router with an Internet cable. It is advisable to determine the method before buying a TV.

Cable connection:

First, start with the cable. This method, although unsuitable, is simple. One end of the LAN cable simply needs to be connected to the TV’s Ethernet connector, the other to the external network modem, and the modem with the Internet port is connected to the wall. The Internet will immediately work.

Wireless connection:

To connect to Wi-Fi, you need to have a built-in Wi-Fi module in the TV, which will “catch” the Internet from the router. If there is no such module, then you can buy an adapter that connects to a TV, PC. You need to connect it to the USB port of the TV.

First, check that the router is operational and connected. Next, as the adapter was installed (you don’t need to do this with the built-in module), the options will appear on the TV, you need to select the desired section and start searching for available Wi-Fi connections.

IMPORTANT! Please note that an available connection can be a neighbor router, it can disconnect at any time. Therefore, carefully look at the name of the network so that the connection to the Internet is constant.

If there is a password (code), then when connecting it is important to enter it. If the TV and the router are connected correctly, access to the Internet network will work. If something does not work out, then in the instructions (user manual) for TV you can see additional information.

Connection via computer:

If you use a computer, then there are 2 connection options: HDMI cable and Wi-Fi. If you use a cable connection, then there will be no Internet. In this case, the TV will serve as a monitor for showing films. If you connect through the Wi-Fi setting, the Internet will be available. Connection will be similar to connecting a router (almost the same thing).
