Tv has internet connection, but not a smart TV. So why have an internet connection, what does it do for you?

The purpose of the network port (TCP/IP-Ethernet) is to provide a system management, update functionality that is normally present on network streaming or Smart featured devices. It may be ON/ or optionally may not be used. HDCP/HDMI content sometimes uses Ethernet functionality via the HDMI cable directly, but does not require the Ethernet port to function. So it is provided as a convenience. Streaming devices such as Roku's and the like may access via wireless, Ethernet or USB to provide the same functionality. All may introduce security issues when not properly configured.

Honestly for the price I bought it for, I was not concered about the internet connection. It's a 55" 3D HD TV that's 120hz and that's wht I wanted. I already have an Apple TV so the Smart TV option was not appealing to me. I feel people pay more for the smart tv feature when you can really get all that stuff through your cable provider or Apple.

To my knowledge this TV needs an added device for ethernet. It does have a USB port so you can plug a computer into the TV. It depends on what you want to do - you can get Roku, Apple TV, etc so as to get connected to the internet.

I am not sure , what you mean - this is not a smart TV- if you need a TV for watching TV only, then, you may want to buy a "smart TV"

I don't have a smart tv. My tv is a flat screen but is about 5 years old so it is not the latest in technology.

"Smart" if your definition is JUST internet access but the tv is not capable of doing what I think is considered normal/usual performance, i.e. it is not able to give you any Adobe video. My latest example, NASA has on-line video feed from Int'l. Space Station cameras. I can view the feed on-line. The tv just gives me a black screen. The same problem occurred with a web-cam feed from a USFS camera. I like being able to view Netflix, etc. videos but it seems the tv is not really THAT "smart".

I use it to connect my computer to the router. As long as your smart TV accepts ethernet cords you're good to go.

Yes, it does not enable wifi to your tv. It just connect to the ethernet port of your tv. The only Requirement is you have ethernet port on your tv. It is not a wifi dongle or adapter

Honestly I never use the internet on mine but you can plug in the ethernet then go to your settings and from there connect to the Aquos Tech section and there is an option to get help directly from someone on the phone or directly on the TV I do believe its part of the Aquos Concierge for there TVs...But there is an adapter you can buy that will allow wireless internet on this model tv but a direct ethernet connection is your best bet as it isnt a smart tv it just has some internet options!

Yes. It basically makes your TV a "smart" TV. We use it on Netflicks all the time.

Yes... you can connect the TV to the internet wirelessly. Hope you did not mean to ask if you can connect other devices to the TV to access internet through the TV, if yes the answer is no you cannot.

This modem is for Internet services and telephone service, it does not connect to your TV at all. You would need to put a splitter before the modem, with one side going to your TV and the other feeding the modem. Hope this helps.

This device is first and foremost for connecting your computer to a wireless network. It will not necessarily connect to a cable, satellite or over the air television connection. However, once connected to the internet or a network (such as one in your home), it is fast enough to allow for HD content to be transmitted. I personally have connected it to a WD TV-Live box, which then connects to my home network. I can then stream Netflix or video files I have on a computer on my home network.

It connects from computer to TV. The TV does not have to have wifi. If you have an HDMI cable out from your computer (or whatever output your computer has) it connects to a matching input on your TV.

It would connect your tv to wifi, though your tv might not have the software two interact with the network. Check and see if your tv software can be upgraded to surf the internet, if not your wasting your time and money.
