Connect your Samsung TV to the internet

Man and women in the living room watching TV

In order to maximize the capabilities of your Smart TV, you'll want to be connected to the internet. Whether that be through a wireless or wired connection, accessing the internet on your TV and signing into a Samsung Account will give you access to streaming TV shows and movies, using applications, and doing just about anything you desire your TV to do.*

Connect to the internet using Wi-Fi

Connecting to Wi-Fi is the easiest and most seamless way to access the internet on your TV. Make sure you have your wireless network name (SSID) and password before trying to connect.

  1. Use the directional pad on your TV's remote to select Settings, select General, and select Network.

  2. Select Open Network Settings, and select the name of your Wi-Fi network.

  3. Enter the network password, if prompted, select Done, and then select OK.

2018 models NU7100/NU710D, NU7200, and NU7300/NU730D only support 2.4 Ghz networks. They will not detect 5 Ghz networks. This will cause your Wi-Fi network to not appear on the list.

Note: If you have any trouble, check out Samsung TV won't find or connect to my Wi-Fi network.

Connect to the internet using a wired network (Ethernet)

  1. Connect an ethernet cable to the LAN port on the One Connect Box or back of the TV, and then connect the other end to your router or modem.

  2. From the Home screen, use the TV remote to navigate to and select Settings, select General, and select Network.

  3. Select OK, and your TV will connect to the internet.

Note: If you have trouble with this process, see our guide for TV does not connect to the internet.

* A Samsung Account is required for network-based smart services, including streaming apps and other smart features. A separate (connected) computer, mobile, or other device may be necessary to create/log in to a Samsung Account. Without an Account login, only external device connections (e.g., via HDMI) and terrestrial/over-the-air TV (only for TVs with tuners) are available. If you do not have a Samsung Account, you can easily create one here: https://account.samsung.com/membership/intro it’s free to sign up; terms apply.
