NOTES:

• For smooth video streaming:
  Change the setting of your wireless router (or access point) to 802.11n or 11ac if possible. For details on how to change the setting, refer to the instruction manual of your wireless router (or access point), or contact the person who set up the network (network administrator). If the above procedure does not deliver any improvement, change the setting of your wireless router (or access point) to 5 GHz, which may help improve the video streaming quality.
  The 5 GHz band may not be supported depending on your region/country. If the 5 GHz band is not supported, the TV can only connect to a wireless router (access point) using the 2.4 GHz band.
