Well, I use a similar General Electric smart TV myself. My process is pretty straightforward: I just head over to the HOME menu, select SMART TV, and then you see the main interface with the TV box icon in the center. Down at the bottom, you'll see various options like apps YouTube and things like that, along with an INTERNET icon. Once I click that, a new slide pops up offering different connection options.
