Connect your Smart TV

menu.

the device to find available networks (your TV may call them "access
points").
3. Select your WiFi network name from
the list of networks (your TV may call the network name "SSID").
4. If you don't see your network, you
may need to search or enter the name.
5. When prompted, enter your WiFi password
on the remote control or on-screen keyboard (your TV may call your password
"Network Key").
Note: The
exact setup steps vary from TV to TV. If you need further help, read the
operating instructions for your TV.
Additional tips for connecting your
Smart TV
Your TV
should have good reception for most wireless music or video streams. If you
can't connect your smart TV wirelessly, or if you want to stream something that
requires a lot of data or high bandwidth - like 4K – it would be best if you
connect your modem with an internet cable.
You may also
need help opening or unlocking ports on your gateway to connect your smart TV.
Remember to
check your TV's instruction manual for specific troubleshooting steps or
security settings.
Connect your wireless printer
When you
connect a wireless printer to WiFi, you can print from any computer, phone, or
tablet on your home network.
·
Go
to the printer control panel.
·
Select
the Setup option. It usually has a picture of a wrench.
·
Select
the Network menu.
·
Select
your WiFi network name (your printer may call this an "SSID").
·
Printers
often have a WiFi setup wizard that guides you through setting up the WiFi
connection.
If you don't
see your wireless network, scroll to the bottom of the list and enter your
network name and password.
If the
connection fails, print a wireless network test report.
Note: Check your printer's owner's manual
for specific troubleshooting steps, security settings, and detailed
instructions.
