No MAC address is involved in making a WiFi connection. The Samsung network setup screen should display a list of available WiFi systems and allow you to select the proper system, enter the WiFi password, and connect. Entering passwords on a lot of consumer devices can be a challenge as the designers often do not display the characters actually selected, showing 'dots' instead.
Is there a specific error message that is displayed by the tv?
