Do you need the Vizio router? I see that this tv already has wi-fi enabled. Since we have a wireless router for our home, do we need to purchase another one just for this tv?

The statement from blank is not true. Any 802.11 router (b,g, or n) will work just fine. Since most every home and business router fall into this category, it should be as easy connecting your TV as your laptop.

Thank you! I appreciate the info. We'll be using our home wireless router (N).

If I remember correctly you need to use the Ethernet port on the back of the TV and connect to your router directly. Not many people have this close to their TV though.... then sign up for amazon. The few movies I watched were decent. If it was wireless it would be easier.....

no. This television does not have built-in WiFi. You have to connect your modem (DSL or Cable) to a Wireless Router. This router will create a wireless network. You would then create user name and password to make this network secure (instructions usually come with the router). Note: Some modems come with built-in wireless routers.

Yes, the 6700 is a Smart TV and is updated often, I've received two updates since July. It does have Wifi but I suspect it's not the 802.11n spec (maybe 802.11g or 802.11b), so you may have to tweak your wireless router to be legacy compatible.

Sounds like Vizio tech support is a little out of touch, LOL! Please email me regarding the model you have.

I bought this device to extend my wireless router range in the house. I run multiple wireless computers through it, so I assume a wireless TV hook-up will work as well, but the TV should run off your existing router if it has the range/power. I have not attempted to hook up my TV yet (already have too much TV content).

No set up needed! I bought a $12 Vizio remote with the Qwerty key board on the back from Amazon and it work perfect on my 40" Vizio internet HDTV. In fact it is much better than the remote that came with the TV. The stock remote (no key board on back) had to be pointed right at the bottom left corner of the TV to work, while the new one just has to be pointed in the general area to work and the keyboard is sooo nice to use make searching faster and a pleasant experience.

So far, Vizio has not released any firmware updates for this TV. And I do not expect them to ever do it, since they completely abandoned this model, sadly. The "Smart TV" apps are a lost cause, but at least they could update the aspect ratio modes, to include some useful ones that don't require the TV to guess the black bars (often incorrectly, or hampered by station logos)

Ok I just remembered that my tv came with a Bluetooth wireless attachment , the instructions tell you how to use it. It's a small black thing with Samsung written on it. I want to add a picture but can't see how. This tv does everything, including REAL internet.

I do have a Vizio smart TV, however, there is no requirement for a smart TV as the device simply is plugged into an HDMI port. I am using one of the USB ports on the TV to power the Push2TV, but it can also be powered with the included AC adapter. The only requirement is the WiDi software and Intel chip on the laptop.

It should work with ANY wireless router. The wireless standard is the same for all routers, unless you buy a pre-release standard or a proprietary design. It will certainly work with your Vizio.

You should not have a problem using the VIZIO wireless internet router with ComCast. Using the correct cable, simply plug the router into the ComCast modem. To be safe, contact Comcast, they should tell you the same thing I say. Good luck and happy surfing!

Make sure you push the button on the router to detect the TV. My router is in the bedroom, TV in living room picked it up first time

I use a widi connection, you only need a device if your TV is not widi compatible. I believe I have a dlink widi device for my TV

We found our wireless connection from VIZIO E701i-A3 (47") to be not fully reliable. We ran an Ethernet cable from our modem to the TV and have had no problems since. However, when we did connect wirelessly from TV the speed of streaming was stable. Our main problem was the TV dropping the wireless signal, and so, went Ethernet. FYI, we also have a wireless ROKU device which always functions just fine; so the suspect weaker wireless connection was within the TV itself. Hope this helps you.

You do need a WIFI signal (at least briefly) for some odd reason...maybe location to get a TV signal. It doesn't make sense but otherwise it will lock the TV channel even if you get a good signal.

I purchased a 60 inch Vizio a week ago and it does have an app for Amazon Prime and it works fine. However, I do like the Roku app better - plus the Roku has many more apps - I may add a Roku to this TV even though the TV does have the wireless interface. Mike K.
