Customer Reviews

do you need this ?
After buying my samsung tv i was disappointed that it was not already wireless built in and i had to make a separte purchase to ulitise the other features of my tv. i must admit it was quite simple to use, i plugged it in and pretty much found my router.

however, not the fault of the dongle, the features of samsung internet tv are quite poor, limited and most importantly SLOW! its faster to access ceefax or freeview teletext and thats says something. youtube if anyone is interested is not yet ready and the news articles which i would be most inerested are only headings and brief 4 lines.

you can use this also for streaming media from pc to your tv via dlna which is quite smooth. but u should be aware it works only for a limited range of files and u cannot forward or rewind.

i would consider strongly before purcharsing if u really need it or can wait this they SPEED up internet tv (as they state they trying to do) and make it useful

Internet feeds to your TV
You may wonder why you need a Samsung special WiFi dongle instead of any of the other more widely available brands. The answer lies in the fact that you cannot load device drivers on to a TV, so it has to be a specially designed device that can be configured via the TV setup menus.
As soon as the device was plugged in, it detected all the nearest wireless routers easily enough, but the only way to get it to connect successfully to my home network was to enter its MAC address into the router. Apart form this, operation was reliable and unobtrusive. The dongle is fairly compact and is hardly noticable from the front, although I am surprised Samsung did not make it connect in an upright position. (The right angle adapter is only intended for use with Samsungs' BD player).

samsung wireless dongle
my nephew set it up for me he is more pc aware than myself actual usage is easy but tv has to be on to change content but all you have to do is hit the refresh button on the samsung dongle site and it makes changes automatically all in all the dongle has taken away the need to put downloads on to disc and saved time and money an excellent addition to my entertainment needs definitely rates 5 stars
