Question

Panasonic TV wifi adaptor

Jul 23, 2016 7:01AM PDT

I have a Panasonic TV Plasma 55" model no: TH-P55ST30S.
I'm looking for a wifi adaptor from the search engine and I couldn't get any one of them for this model. Please advice where I can get this or is there any other model which is compatible with my model.

For the USB WiFi adapter you MUST use the one that is compatible.

Or use the Ethernet port to a client device like I noted. So I'll rewrite that these WiFi to Ethernet bridge/client device is your "compatible to all TVs" thing.

As to USB WiFi sticks, you could try it but so far, I've yet to see that work as these TVs are not PCs and do not deal with more than one or two models from its maker.
