If you don't want to mess around with the wires or you are confused by the view of the cable extended through the entire room, it is quite possible to connect the router to the TV through the wireless network. Many models of televisers have the built-in Wi-Fi function, the relevant USB adapters can be purchased to the rest.

1. First check and if necessary, we turn on the distribution of the Wi-Fi signal from your router. To do this, go to the web interface of the network device. In any Internet browser on a computer or laptop connected to the router, type the IP address of the router in the address field. By default, this is usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1, press the ENTER key.
2. In the extended authentication window, enter the actual username and password to enter the router configuration. If you have not changed these parameters, then these are two identical words: admin. Click on the left mouse button on OK.
