Ky Tavares Posted September 20, 2016 CID Share Posted September 20, 2016 Who can explain me what does mean WIFI REGION? And, how can I know WIFI Region of my country? Best CA3LE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted September 20, 2016 CID Share Posted September 20, 2016 I believe they're referring to channel designation in each country. United States - channels 1-11 Europe - channels 1-13 Japan - channels 1-14 This does not affect power output or anything else. The channels themselves are also the same. Many routers stick to 11 channels to remain world-compatible. Ky Tavares 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ky Tavares Posted September 20, 2016 Author CID Share Posted September 20, 2016 I understand your point. Butin Service Menu of Samsung Smart TV K series exists Region "PANEURO", for instance, and WIFI REGION "E". If I live out of EU may I change region and wifi region? Saying, I´m in Africa. Any idea?

CA3LE Posted September 20, 2016 CID Share Posted September 20, 2016 In Africa I'd use the EU setting. I'm reading that maybe you want to use the WIFI REGION "A" setting. http://www.tomsguide.com/answers/id-2310114/samsung-smart-un46es6100-connect-wireless-network-anymore/page-2.html https://www.cnet.com/forums/post/214384ae-830e-4acb-9cfb-0c10918b2ede/ Might not be your exact TV but they sound like they have similar operating systems and settings. I'd definitely try "A". Let us know how that works. Ky Tavares 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ky Tavares Posted September 21, 2016 Author CID Share Posted September 21, 2016 Hi unfortunately it doesn´t work. May be I have to change region from PANEURO to AFR or S AFR? The question is that, I bought a Samsung Smart TV K series in Portugal and brought it to Cape Verde, West Africa, and cannot access to Smart Hub ( the TV gets stuck in Terms and Conditions) Best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted September 21, 2016 CID Share Posted September 21, 2016 If there's an AFR and S AFR setting definitely try them. Can you update the firmware? What's the exact model number of the TV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ky Tavares Posted September 22, 2016 Author CID Share Posted September 22, 2016 I already tried region AFR and S AFR and nothing. May be I have to change WIFI region, but witch one? In wifi region there are option from A to AF, I guess. Until now, Samsung still didn´t launch update. My model is UE49KU6400 Best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
