Connecting Samsung 5500 TV to WI42WR router

I bought a Samsung UN48H5500AF television.

I am trying to connect wirelessly to my MI42WR verison router.

The TV sees my wireless network, however when I attempt to join the network I am unable.

The setup asks for the router PW, but the error message says the PIN is wrong.  This mixing of terms is confusing.

I can connect to, and manage, my router through my PC. So its not a PW issue.

Any help would be appreciated!

What you need to enter is the WiFi key.  It should be on the side of the router.  You can also find it on your MyVerizon homepage.

PIn would imply it things you are trying to connect via WPS which the Verizon version of the Actiontec router does not currently support.  Note the passphrase(sometimes called password) is normally a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters.  Letters are case sensitive.

Pass keys are normally listed in Hexadecimal (i.e number 0-9,a-f) The a-f represent 10-15 in hexadecimal and are not case sensitive.
