    Why is Samsung smart TV not connecting to internet?
    maryann.sauer
    over 1 year ago
    Restart the router. Unplug the power, wait about 1 minute, and reconnect. Try connecting another device to the router. If it works, it's a TV problem, and if it doesn't, it's a router problem.

This 55in Samsung is the first of a tsunami of super-smart TVs due in 2012. If any have control interfaces half as exciting as this, though, we'll be absolutely amazed
