HOW MANY LETTERS AND NUMBERS ARE IN THE SSID?

Bernadette,

Are you entering the code that is listed under the SSID? It is on the side or bottom of your modem or router. It can also say WPA or WEP key those letters and numbers should be your password unless you changed it to a personalized one.

In case you want to RTFM:

If you are connecting a cable from the player to one of the LAN ports on the back of your router, then you shouldn't have to do any configuration.

If you're connecting wirelessly, then you'll need a Samsung wireless adapter. Your model doesn't have internal wireless, and it won't take any other wireless adapter but the Samsung WIS09ABGN adapter. It also looks like there is only one USB port, so if you plug in the wireless adapter, you won't be able to plug in USB storage devices.

Our Samsung Blu-Ray player had some trouble connecting, and what I discovered is that it couldn't deal with a network SSID that contained anything but letters, and couldn't deal with a network security (WEP/WPA) key code/password that had anything but numbers and letters. A good WPA key should have at least one special character (punctuaion, &, etc.), but you might have to simplify the key for your Samsung.

So here are some steps to connect wirelessly:
1) Write down your router's SSID, which might also be called "network ID" or "wireless network" or something similar. (If you don't know this, you can log into your router to see it, or check to see what wireless network your computer is connected to; the name of that network is the SSID.
2) Write down the WPA key to your network. If you don't know it, you'll have log in to your router and look on the "security" or "wireless security" tab. It might be called "WEP key" or "WPA passkey" or "network password" or whatever.
3) Check both of those for hypens, ampersands, etc. If there is a special character in either the SSID or key, you'll have to log in to your router to change it.

Once your SSID and key have only numbers and letters, you're ready for a manual install.
It's a bunch of steps, and here they are from the manual:
http://www.manualslib.com/manual/144113/Samsung-Ht-Bd1250.html?page=51#manual

Sometimes numbers can work for letters like on a phone, press 1 for a b or c, 2 for d e f. If that doesn't work read the manual for the device.

Make sure that you are connected via ethernet cable or hard wired connection:
1. Open a browser ( internet explorer, mozilla firefox,google chrome or safari)2. Delete all of the characters in the address bar3. Type the numbers 192.168.1.14. Press enter.5. You will be able to view the modem settings page.6. Select Basic Setup or the second tab with the word interface.7. Select Wireless Setup8. Enter the SSID or (service set ID), this will be your wifi name.9. Select WEP or WPA for your router's wi-fi password.10. Select ASCII for the passworrd.11. Enter any password ( around 10 alpha numeric characters to make sure that it is a strong password)**alpha numeric means combination of letters and numbers.12. Select Save or Apply.13. Disconnect the network cable for you to test the Wireless password connection.14. Scan for new wireless network on the lower left hand of your computer's screen.15. Look for the wireless name that you entered for your SSID.16. Connect and it will ask you for the wireless / pre-shared key17. Enter the WPA password that you created ( the 10 letters and numbers that you entered for ASCII)18. Press connect.
there you go... you will be connected to your router via wireless with password protection. No one can connect to your router unless you gave them your PSK or wi-fi pre-shared key.

Hi

SSID- Service Set Identifier

An SSID is the name of a wireless local area network (WLAN). All wireless devices on a WLAN must employ the same SSID in order to communicate with each other. The SSID on wireless clients can be set either manually, by entering the SSID into the client network settings, or automatically, by leaving the SSID unspecified or blank. A network administrator often uses a public SSID, that is set on the access point and broadcast to all wireless devices in range. Some newer wireless access points disable the automatic SSID broadcast feature in an attempt to improve network security.
SSIDs are case sensitive text strings. The SSID is a sequence of alphanumeric characters (letters or numbers). SSIDs have a maximum length of 32 characters.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

You have actually posted your 'network' problem to the washing machine forum ;-0) I doubt you will get a satisfactory answer, sorry.I recommend you repost to a suitable forum.

Having said that- if it is your home WIFI you are wanting to connect to, the Broadband supplier will have given that information with the other documentation! The SSID will be something like (supplier name)-LAN-(XXXXXX) followed by 'WPA-PSK:(numbers/letters combination which is a mile long- well actually 26 numbers/letters!!)

If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck,
John C

Looks you havent configure your router. To get SSID and security key you have to configure it on your router.

You have to manually assign SSID on your Wireless Settings and Select proper security like WPA or WPA2 and assign preshare key ( security key). After assigning when you search for SSID on your Laptop or wireless computer it will you SSID you configured on your Router if you click on the SSID to connect it will ask you security key, supply the preshared key you configured on router.

If you are very new to router you might need to refer manual

Hi, I will lend a hand if I can.

Important Note! Use a wired connection to your router when setting up security.

There are four basic steps to setting up wireless security, which are the same for most routers:

1) Login to your router
2) Change the router login password/username
3) Change the network name, or SSID
4) Enable WPA encryption

Here are the details, taken from the Dlink site:

1) Login to your router.
Type the router address in the address bar of a web browser. For this router, the default is 192.168.0.1

You should see a popup box. If you have not changed the password, enter username: admin and leave the password blank.

This should bring up the configuration screen/user interface.

2) Change the router password.
If you haven’t set a password, this is a good place to start. Go to Admin > Tools. Set new admin and username passwords and click 'Apply'.


3) Change the SSID (router name):
Go to Home > Wireless, and change the SSID from ‘default’ to anything you like –as long as you can remember it. It is case sensitive, and you can usually use up to 32 letters – but don’t use something that could identify you, or your location. Click ‘Apply’ when finished.

4) Enable encryption
Still in Home > Wireless, select WPA-PSK.

Under ‘Passphrase’ you should enter a long password, or passphrase, between 8 and 63 letters/numbers long. This can be any series of letters/ numbers, or you can use a phrase with numbers ( eg - 456HapPY2009toyou8899). It is case sensitive.

The passphrase is also called the network key, and sometimes WPA shared key, PSK, pre-shared key, WPA-PSK, authentication key.

Note down the passphrase/network key carefully. You will need this to connect wirelessly. Click ‘Apply’ when finished.

That's it, you have done enough to secure your network, and can close the screen. (There are other options you can configure at a later stage if you wish.)

When you next connect wirelessly, you'll see the router with its new name in your 'available wireless networks'. When you attempt to connect, you are asked for the network key you set in Step 4. If all goes well, you can then save this and will connect automatically in future.

Hope this helps, but if it is not clear or doesn't work, please come back to Fixya. Good luck...
