Connect an ethernet cable from your router or modem to the LAN port located on
the back of your Philips Android TV.
Wireless Connection: The Philips 5000 Series Android TV is equipped with
Wireless LAN 802.11ac MIMO for wireless streaming of up-to 4K content.
**Note: Wireless performance may be affected by various factors,
including the distance between the TV and your Wi-Fi router. To improve
wireless performance, we recommend placing your Wi-Fi router within 15 feet of
your TV.
****Note:** The use of open or unencrypted Wi-Fi networks is not
recommended, as these networks are not secured, and your data could be at
risk.
Tip: If your Wi-Fi Router was set up by your internet service provider (ISP),
you may find a sticker on the bottom of your router indicating your Wi-Fi SSID
and password.
