This adapter plugs into the USB input on your TV, and with WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) functionality, it is simple to get your TV connected to your home network no matter what type of Wi-Fi you are using.

  Note: The UWA-BR100 USB wireless LAN adapter is discontinued and may not be available. Depending on your TV model, this adapter was supplied or available as an optional accessory.
