Wireless Connection to Samsung TV

I purchased a Samsung Plasma TV (model PN58B860) specifically because of its internet capability. I have had no luck connecting this TV to my network via Airport Extreme. I have the dongle for the wireless connection and have followed the instructions. I would appreciate any help or insight anyone out there has. Thanks in advance.

Okay, got it to work but it was a little tricky.

I didn't want to reconfigure my whole Wireless network which currently separate from the modem-router & secure so had to:
1. Name & turn on the (previously disabled) wireless functionality of my wireless modem
2. Enable the WEP functionality & set a HEX security key (i.e. A-F & 0-9)
3a. Set up a MAC ADDRESS filter (on the modem) specifically for the Samsung Wireless USB dongle
3b. NOTE: You can find this under [MENU] > SETUP > NETWORK SETUP > 'Network Test'
4a. Go to: [MENU] > SETUP > NETWORK SETUP > 'Select a Network' - it should locate your network
4b. Select your network, run a networks test and that should be it!

Important to note, I am running this network in parallel with my other secure network but if you want to do it all from the same wireless modem/hub then you will want to set up MAC Address filters for all the machines on your network.
