Panasonic Tv Wireless Adapter

Connect Your Panasonic TV and Internet with a Wireless Adapter

Add Internet capabilities to nearly any Internet-ready Panasonic television with a Panasonic TV wireless adapter. These TV wireless adapters are plug-and-play and thus easy to set up and to use, and you're sure to find the right adapter for your set thanks to the broad selection available on eBay.

A Panasonic wireless adapter, such as the Panasonic DY-WL10 wireless LAN adapter, is a USB Wi-Fi adapter. Also known as a Wi-Fi dongle, these devices are essentially the same as USB Wi-Fi adapters used with laptop computers. The main difference is that these have been configured specifically for Panasonic televisions. Users generally don't have to worry about software and device configuration and can instead just plug the dongle into an open USB port on their televisions and enjoy a Web connection via their LANs.

Although compatibility is broad throughout the Panasonic product line, not all Panasonic smart TV wireless adapters are compatible with all Panasonic TV models. If you have an Internet-ready Panasonic TV, you'll find a list of supported adapters in the owner's manual. In addition, each wireless adapter product has an explicit list of supported TV models associated with it.

Insert the adapter into an open USB port on your television. As with all USB devices, your adapter can be inserted hot, meaning when the television is powered on. If your adapter requires a separate power source, it's advised that you turn the TV off, attach the power adapter to the wall outlet, and then turn the TV back on. Finally, you'll need to enter the Panasonic wireless LAN adapter setup menu. This can vary from set to set but generally requires you to:

• Step 1: Press the Menu button on your remote.
• Step 2: Select Network and then the Network connection.
• Step 3: Select Wireless and then Wireless Network Settings.
• Step 4: Choose your LAN and then enter your network password.

You have two options. If the device is already connected to your Panasonic television and is currently functioning, you can enter the network settings in your TV menu and download them directly. The TV will download and install the software, and then it will reboot. Alternatively, you can connect the adapter to a PC, download the drivers, and install them manually.
