forgive me if I sound dumb but if I have Wi-Fi in my house for a laptop, can I also connect this tv to it to browse the internet like the laptop?

You can't browse the internet on this tv. The wifi for the tv is used for apps pre-installed on the tv like Netflix, Amazon Prime video, Flickr, etc.

No,You are limited to internet connections to the sites shown at bottom of the TV screen when you press the VIA button on the remote. Not full internet usage.

I'm not sure about that. I only connect my laptop to the TV to play Netflix and things like that. Really I use the TV as a monitor I guess you could say. Sorry I couldn't answer your question.

The TV does not have a built in wi-fi adapter, but you can buy one from Panasonic. I have a Trendnet TEW-687GA that I use instead. Probably costs the same.

yes,if you own a tablet use the wi fi link and use the tablet to browse on the tv screen.

Yes, it does not enable wifi to your tv. It just connect to the ethernet port of your tv. The only Requirement is you have ethernet port on your tv. It is not a wifi dongle or adapter

I don't know what configuration you have in your laptop. However, I can tell you that you need to have Intel Wireless Display Technology (Intel WiDi) chipset in your laptop in order to make it work. Although my laptop has the chipset to use Netgear Push2TV, the quality is not acceptable. Therefore, I do not recommend to buy this product. After I purchased this product, it worked for few days. Slowly, the graphics became worst and annoying to clone my laptop to TV. I think it helps you to make the decision.

Yes it can (I connected to a secure wifi network for mine). You will need to connect it to a computer first, then follow the instructions that come with the device. Once you've set it up, it should be good to go--just connect it to your television and it should be all set.

Yes, you can. The tv comes with two connections for the Internet, Wi-Fi and Ethernet. Also, the menu it's really easy to use and navigate through.

Thanks for your post on this discussion regarding wireless connection for this TV. I still have a few questions.When you unhook your gaming adaptor and connect it to TV, you still need to connect your wireless router back to PC. So in that case, will this trick work using two regular wireless routers, one connected to PC and on to TV (after the wep key step)? I am not into gaming, so I don't want to spend a lot on the gmaing adaptor.

Yes, the TV is certainly capable of doing that. However, your internet connection and WiFi should be capable of handling the necessary bandwidth.

This is TV is not a "Smart TV". It cannot connect to wifi or internet. However, you can hook up a laptop with WIFI access to the TV and view web pages on the big screen through the laptop computer connection to the TV.

I plug it into my HDMI port on my 51 inch TV and if you have good internet, it will WIFI form your router. . However, my internet is not good enough so has yet to work but if I had good DSL or cable, then I have no doubt it would work as advertised.

I'm not an authority on the kind of router you have...but..it would seem to me that you would be better off using a wireless adapter that also has an ethernet plug. That way, you can reach your computer with the wireless antenna without having to use an ethernet connection, but you can also use the ethernet connection to plug a cable into your TV.

Make sure the TV has the connection on it then yes! Need the go into menu and indicate wired vs wifi connection also after you run wire from router.

Hi Toni--the answer is "yes". I just connected yesterday, as a matter of fact, and it was a breeze. I went to a website to find out how to connect my computer to a TV and it worked just fine. Here's the website: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtRd_ttmQ70

Sure you can plug in your laptop to connect to internet and watch netflix. You can do that with pretty much all lcds nowadays. As long as you connect your laptop, you can watch whatever is from your laptop. I bought the LN46B640 (grey bezel) from best buy for $999 which is a s slight improvement from this model and it looks amazing. Instead of connecting your laptop to watch netflix, you should look into purchasing a blu-ray with netflix capabilities because they are cheap nowadays.
