Issue connecting 40NX710 to WIFI Internet?

[happyJsat]

Hi Fellow Sony Owners,

Just bought my NX710 TV, primarily because of integrated WIFI and DLNA.

However I cannot get my TV to logon to my WIFI. Here's what is says (translated from Danish):

First I go to Preferences -> Network -> Setup -> Wireless setup -> Scan.

Then I choose my network and type in the WPA code.

In "Configuration of IP and Proxy" I choose "Auto" (that's also how I do on my PC and Mac and they both connect).

I see the status page, which looks good. Next page I press "Save and connect to network".

Then the TV tries to connect (the "please wait" mode).

The results then are:

Wireless Unit: OK

Local Acces: Failure

Internetacces: Failure

What am I doing wrong???

Couple of things to try.

• DOes it work if you disable your WPA key and then connect?
• Its case sensitive so make sure you are using CAPs where appropiate.
• Have you run the firmware update also?

Thanks

Hi happyJsat

Had exactly the same problem with my NX710 untill i remembered that i'm using MAC filtering on my network. Find the MAC of your TV and insert it in the Routers "allowed list".

Hope this helps...

Hi jesranmad

How can i find the MAC address of the TV wirelles adapter TV?

I have a 40NX720 model; for ethernet card it's working fine because the MAC it's displayed in the menu, but for wireless card, i don't know where to find it!

Thanks,
