To make a Samsung TV wireless, you need to connect it to your home Wi‑Fi network. Once connected, you can wirelessly stream content and mirror your phone screen to the TV as long as both devices are on the same network.
Connect your Samsung TV to Wi‑Fi
On newer Samsung TVs, go to Settings > All Settings > Connection > Network > Open Network Settings > Wireless. Your TV will scan for available networks. Select your Wi‑Fi network from the list, enter the password using the on‑screen keyboard, and then select Go or OK. After connecting, test the connection via the network settings menu to confirm it works. Check for and install software updates via Settings > Support > Software Update after connecting.
On some older Samsung TV models, the menu path is Settings > Network > Network Settings. From there, choose the wireless option, select your network, enter the password, and confirm the connection.
What to do if your network isn't found
If your Wi‑Fi network does not appear in the list of available networks, Samsung documents two solutions. On some models, you can select Add Network to manually enter your network’s name (SSID) and password. On other models, you can use Use WPS if your router has a WPS or PBC button, press that button on the router, then select the WPS option on your TV to connect automatically.
How to wirelessly mirror your phone screen
Before you begin, make sure your phone and Samsung TV are connected to the same Wi‑Fi network. This is required for both iPhone and Android mirroring.
iPhone and iPad (AirPlay)
On your iPhone or iPad, open Control Center, tap Screen Mirroring, and select your Samsung TV from the list. If prompted, enter the AirPlay code displayed on your TV screen. AirPlay must be enabled on the TV for iPhone or iPad mirroring.
Android (Smart View / Screen Mirroring)
Your Android phone must support a mirroring feature such as Screen Mirroring or Smart View. Open the quick settings panel on your phone, look for the Screen Mirroring or Smart View icon, tap it, and select your Samsung TV from the list of available devices. Samsung does not list specific Android versions or carrier requirements, your phone simply needs to support one of these mirroring functions.
If you also want wireless audio for your TV, you can connect Bluetooth speakers or a soundbar to your Samsung TV through the audio settings menu after the TV is on your Wi‑Fi network.
