TV _ Internet Setup Help!
I recently bought a new TV that is supposed to be able to connect wirelessly to the internet. Had Comcast install a land line, internet and TV service. They connected my Cisco E3000 wireless router to their modem and I am able to connect my laptop wireless to the internet. I cannot get the TV nor my Samsung Blu-Ray player to the internet. Is there a reliable service provider other that Best Buy's Geek Squad to get this working? Any suggestions will be appreciated as I've spent 3 full days w/o any success and it is too nice outside to be in doors!

TV_internet Setup Help
I just installed my internet connected DVD player when I was in TV in early January. I do not have any of the paperwork with me so I hope I can help from my memory. You most likely have a network key to connect to your wireless network, my key is 10 digits long, which I selected when I installed the wireless router. If you have that key you need to enter that manually when setting up the wireless DVD player. There were different options to connect to the network, try each one until it works. Hope this helps.

When I connected my blu-ray up I called Sony and they walked me through the process, it was complicated but they were real helpful.

Your user manuals should mention this and what you need to do. If they are not, you still can get them internet access. You would need a wireless bridge. NOw that can get a little compicated in setting up.... Good luck. |

I'm sure your problem is more invovled but the people you call do this kind of thing all day long and can walk you through the process or determine very quickly what needs to be done. I hope this helps. |

We also just purchased a TV that is internet capable. The salesman told us that we would need to purchase a USB dongle antenna that is propiatary to the brand (LG). Have not had need for that yet, so we didn't get it.
We have had issues with Geek Squad and Best Buy, so we went to Ocala to HHGregg. Would have gone to Orlando if we had to. They delivered the TV and set it up the day after we were there.

Thanks for all of the great suggestions. Just got back to town and called Vizio, the TV Company, and they walked me through the long and somewhat complicated process. They even helped me to get my Netflix account up and running on the TV. No more waiting for the mail and my next movie!
Thanks again for all of the great information. |
