My TV won't connect to my wireless network using a wireless access point device

It's come to our attention that certain wireless access point (WAP) devices will not connect wirelessly to the TV when using the WPA2 Personal security mode. To resolve this issue, change the security mode setting of your access point to WPA2 Personal Mixed or WPA. For help changing the settings of your access point, refer to your access point manual, or contact the device manufacturer, or your internet service provided (ISP). If you're unable to change the security type setting of your wireless access point, you can still connect with your TV by using the TVs manual entry mode.
