Authored by: Support.com Tech Pro Team

1. Introduction

Panasonic's TV Remote 2 app lets you comfortably operate a Panasonic flat-panel VIERA TV over a wireless network (Wi-Fi) more intuitively than the supplied remote control, while allowing you to transfer pictures, videos, music or websites from your mobile display to your TV, and vice versa.

This guide will walk you through the process of installing and setting up the Panasonic TV Remote 2 app.

Before you proceed, make sure that your Panasonic TV is compatible with the Panasonic TV Remote 2 app.

2. Check Wi-Fi Connection with Android Device

Your mobile device and your TV must be on the same Wi-Fi network in order to communicate with one another. The following steps will help you ensure that your mobile device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network your TV is. If your TV is using ethernet, be sure the Wi-Fi network you are connecting to is the one being broadcast from the router your TV is physically connected to.

Make sure your devices are not connected to a guest network. These types of networks typically prevent your devices from communicating with one another.
