This is the password for your router, and is the one you will have input in every other device you have set up wifi on, if you have ever done that at all

Which is why it never came with the TV; in effect, it is so the TV can say to the router "Look, I'm authorised to join the network, and here's the password to prove it".

Mine is on a little card that my ISP, Sky, gave me with my router, which I keep handy for setting up new devices.

It can also be found on a label on the router itself somewhere, if you don't have the password handy on a piece of paper, and this is true of most routers, from most ISPs.

From what i understand and correct me if im wrong the wpa code is a 7 digit code that use when your connecting direct to the tv via wifi. Its meant to be on a sticky label on the back of the tv with the model and serial number.

Ive got the label but the 7 digit number missing.

Ive got the code for the router for connection to the internet.

Hi there

The EX723 model TV is not wifi enabled. Am i assuming that you have the wireless dongle as well (UWA-BR100) AND you have connected it to one of the TVs USB ports?

If this is correct, the WPA key is the wireless password on your home router.

See page 21 of the manual, for some instructions:

OK my fault and maybe explaining this wrong. Yes i have a dongle which is connected to the Internet using my Sky router and yes Quinnius you are correct in what say.

What i forgot to mention is that im trying to connect my samsung s4 to the tv via wifi and its asking for a password. Were do i get that password as its not the one for my sky router.

Hi there

That additional information makes all the difference

See if the following works, as im copying/pasting from another set of instructions.

Press Home (MENU) on your remote control → Applications → Wi-Fi Direct Mode

Press OPTIONS on your remote control and select Manual → Other Methods

Information for connection (SSID and WPA key) is displayed.

Cheers
