Do you actually need to buy a samsung USB LAN adapter to get the TV to connect to WiFi? I believe this is suppose to e built in.

Wifi is built in though the apps run very slow. I don't use that feature, I use my own external streaming devices.

You are correct that the WiFi is built in and it works very well. No additional hardware required.

Nope. Connects right to the wireless home network already set up. You can find more information on samsungs website but that was a requirement when I was shopping for tvs.

The AN Wf100 adapter is only required for tv's that do not have built in wi fi...the LGLN5600 is marketed as having built in wi fi, so i is really unnecessary...

Mine is hooked up to LG HDTV. Not where I can look right now, but look at the instructions. Do you need an HDMI cord? I am really not good with this stuff. Know I didn't need anything extra. Just connected directly into my tv, but think instructions did mention a HDMI connection. If your instructions don't work, you might just google how to connect a indoor antenna to your Toshiba and again to your samsung HDTV. Good luck. I am totally inept at this stuff, so have every belief you can do it too!

Yea, this is really a buzz kill that none of the Sony Internet ready TVs seem to either have WiFI N built-in nor does Sony sell a proprietary WiFi USB dongle as an option like Samsung. The Linksys bridge is a lame way to get WiFi given the poor quality of Linksys and having to connect it to a bridge kind of ruins the while reason for having a wall mount TV. The Sony's do seem to have the best picture and the Yahoo Gadgets is very cool if not a real game changer (the App Store for TVs) but Sony seems to have really dropped the ball by not having a better WiFi N option for their TVs.

I have a c5500 which requires the wireless lan adapter. All I seem to be able to find is the Samsung item. I searched the pdf manual and didn't see any indication of using another wireless adapter. Any feedback?

No wifi card needed....my pc doesnt have one either and this work great! You may need to download the installation program from the Realtek website if your adapter didnt come with an installation cd. It's a free download from Realtek if you need it.Good Luck!

I'm using mine on a PC, and although the product description now says "SamSung WIS12ABGNX" (I don't recall if it did when I bought it), there may be more to using it on a TV mere hardware compatibility. There can be driver issues. A quick google finds this site talking about using non-samsung adapters on samsung tvs. http://wiki.samygo.tv/index.php5/Using_NoN-Samsung_USB_WiFi_dongles_with_TV So it's probably a crap shoot on whether its plug-and-play. Do you feel lucky?

You could hook it up to a wireless adapter as well and have it talk to your wireless router. The Samsung is not picky as to what hangs off the ethernet port as long as it can obtain an IP address and get on the internet.

Yes the wifi is built in ...you have to have a wifi network in ur home to connect the device

I'm going to have to go with a safe answer and say no. I'm not 100% sure that I am correct on this, but I don't think it will work. You will probably have to use Samsung's own adapter that they have. It is called a LinkStick. Most usb wireless adapters are going to require a driver to make it work, and you don't have a way to do that with your tv. I would do a search for Linkstick in the Amazon search and look at the ones that come up. If you look at the reviews for them there have been a lot of people posting what models each one seems to work with.

It's up to you. You can do either. if your tv doesn't have a wifi connection, then yes you have to use a lan port.

@Michael D Swearingen,I'm sorry but no. The only WiFi adapter that will work with any TV, Blu-Ray Player, printer, (any non-computer) is the proprietary adapter from the company that makes that device. This adapter is not designed to work with any TV's USB port.Thanks,Medialink Customer Support856-216-8222Tue-Sat 9am to 6pm Easternsupport@medialinkproducts.com

In this case you would need the Samsung adapter. Samsung doesn't tell us how to make an adapter that will work with their equipment unfortunately.

Yes, you have to spend $80 for a Samsung wireless adapter. They're real careful not to tell you that when you buy the thing.

The TV is advertised as "WiFi Ready", not "WiFi Built in". What that means is that it does not have WiFi without a WiFi adapter that you have to buy separately. I plug my Panasonic directly into an Ethernet router. That works great. I can stream movies directly from providers like Netflix and Amazon. But since I have never had a need to get an adapter I have never used one. I suspect it would work like my Ethernet cable. Plug it in one of the USB ports, log-on to your wireless router, hit the Internet button on the controller and your good to go. Here is a sample adapter: Panasonic TY-WL20U Wireless Adapter for Panasonic 2012 Internet Ready TVs
