I have wireless Uverse, does that mean I have Wifi? What's the diff between Wifi and Smart (TV)?

I don't know anything about Uverse, but if you have wireless internet, that is called wi-fi. Your TV will connect to the wireless internet (wi-fi), and allows you to use Smart TV, which are programs (applications, or apps) built into your tv (such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime video, etc..,). If you still do not know what I'm talking about, you may need to find someone you know that has knowledge of these type things to come assess your house and service before you buy the tv. They will probably also need to help you set these up once you get the tv.

You have WiFi....and you can install a smart TV to receive internet signals.

My understanding is that all of the 'smart' TVs put out by Samsung are wifi ready -- but you'd have to check the specs of the model because they produce so many variations with small features included / excluded on what seems an arbitrary basis. Note, the model of TV in this post is NOT a Smart TV.

Wifi is not necessary. It's a great add on to a HDTV setup. I think you'll enjoy!

I have same router and it connects to TV wireless without any problem. Wireless n bands are compatible with older routers.

No the LE550 is not a smart TV with WIFI, I have a Roku which works great and has Netflix + many more apps than the Smart TV's currently have

There are lots of factors that can cause your problem. the most common is the Tv's distance to your router. the weaker the WiFi signal is the less actual speed you get. What is the Speed of your connection. and how strong is the WiFi to the TV

Yes, you connect the TV wirelessly to your router - so then you can surf the net, watch NetFlix, etc - without having to plug things into the TV itself.

the wifi is built in. it will search automatically and try to join your network. depending on your router, you will have to adjust/enter security info and settings. or simply use the ethernet port, as i do, for a direct wired live connection. the wifi is great for using the iphone/android smart phone remote app which will give you a full keyboard. the sony remote is not optimal for typing, and frankly, the web browser is a joke and you will never use it. if you want to use a tv for a large computer moniter, just hook up your laptop via hdmi and then you will have full web browsing on a big screen. i compared this tv to similar samsungs with a qwerty keyboard and frankly, their smart tv's are just as slow browsing. the 'smart' in these internet tv's is the apps. no tv is a computer and never will be. sony makes vaio computers for that. there is no windows operating system on any tv and will never be one as samsung and sony want you to buy their computers too! :)

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.

if you inquiring if it is a "smart tv" (with built-in internet connectivity), no, it is not what I do is set up my apps such as Netflix, Vudu, Amazon Instant Video, et al on my blu ray player (which does have Wi-Fi)

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

This series of TVs are not "smart"; that is, they do not have any internet connectivity. So, as is, you cannot stream from wifi. On my 50L5200U I got around this by adding a Roku3 which works perfectly.

If your Smart TV connects to a wireless signal, you place the TL-WR710N halfway between the wireless modem and the TV. If a WiFi signal from your modem is available at the midway point, your TV will receive a strong signal from the TL-WR710N. The speed of the WiFi signal at your TV will be only half of the speed of the modem. If your TV needs a wired connection to the internet, the WR710N will not help you.

I use it to connect my computer to the router. As long as your smart TV accepts ethernet cords you're good to go.

This won't extend your wifi, but allows you to have a wired connection to the smart tv using a network cable from the tv to the second unit.

no. the WiFi is working perfect. I have 2 TVs. both of them connect with no issues.
