"Firmware bug prevented connection to WEP Wi-Fi"
1.0 starson by bobutfanPros: I could never get the unit to connect to my home network (12 other devices are connected) due to a firmware bug in the software/firmware used to enter your encryption key.
Cons: Elevated to Samsung level 3 help desk only to deal with people who knew nothing about a wireless network. The worst part is they would not log the issues so this bug may be present in many Samsung DVD units , including other wireless models.
Summary: Samsung needed to better test the wireless firmware on this unit. The problem was the 26th digit in the encryption key could not be changed, giving the owner a 33% chance this unit could ever connect. That is because the key entry method is analogous to entering letters from a phone keypad... three letters for each key. When you can't change the default letter you have a 33% chance it was the letter you needed.

You should play arounfd with your security password in order to make it work. Avoid in your last password character any letter where you have to click twice or 3 times on your remote control button to get it ( for exmaple to get the letter B you have to click twice on the button number 2 twice, or if you want the letter c you have to click 3 times on the button 2 to get it) avoid that and chose a letter that comes first on the buttons like A or D.
The bug is the firmware is that while entering the last character it keeps on giving you that first click letter ( in other words if you want the letter C you keep on getting the letter A and so on. I noticed that this happens only while entering the last charactyer for a password of 27 character.
SO YOU HAVE TO CHOSE LETTERS THAT COME FIRST ON YOUR REMOTE CONTORL BUTTONS.ALSO, YOU SHOULD ENTER YOUR IP ADDRESS MANUALLY.
Try it , I am sur it is going to work
