Title: Trying connect a Samsung tv to my wireless network
Post by: psssmarina on January 16, 2014, 01:43:08 PM
Hello,
My device is a 505 with firmware updated.
I'm trying to use it to connect a Samsung tv to my wireless network.
The main router Is a netgear dgn 2200 .
The wireless part works (checked with tablet), the static ip set 192.168.1.100
Is not used. The dgn sees the tv, but the tv cannot see 192.168.0.1
Which is the gateway and DNS address.
What I do wrong?
Thanks Marina

Hello,
thanks for the answer.
The hardware version is A1, firmware version 1.06b05, I'm in Europe, Italy.
The dir 505 is in repeater mode, with extended wireless with different SSID from the main.
The main router is set up to 54 Mbps for b/g networks, wpa-personal both on dir and dgn.
I 'm also using a dlink DAP1160 to connect a sky decoder in another room, used as a wireless to cable converter and it works perfectly. The tv I'm trying to connect now used to work with the DAP.

I forgot Channel is set to Channel Width set for Auto 20/40Mhz.
But since the wireless connection works,
I mean I can connect to the extended network and access internet,
why should it behave differently on the cable part?
thanks Marina

Should be the same for either wired or wireless. Only that your using different SSID on the 505.

You might check to see what the TV supports and if it's wireless is supporting of WPA2 or AES. We've seen some issues with Samsung TVs not working correctly with wireless security. Contact the MFr of the TV to get information and configuration help.

Ok, ensure the lan network on the TV is set up well. use Automatic Obtain IP addressing ON the tv. Don't use manual Static IP addresses. The TV should be able to get an IP automatically from the Main Host router. Swap LAN cables to be sure. Cables can be bad.

I recommend that you phone contact D-Link support and ask for help and information. You may need to contact the Mfr of the TV and have them help you to ensure that the TVs networking is working well. IF there is a problem on the TV and other devices work with the 505, then the TV needs to be looked at.
