Connect your smart TV via Ethernet and use a single Wi-Fi network for all devices.
Hi, I need to link my smart TV to the internet using an Ethernet connection from my PC. I stream media through Ethernet to the TV, but the device doesn’t support Wi-Fi and only uses the wired media server. It seems one adapter works at a time. My TV’s IPv4 address is set statically on my PC, which works for streaming, yet it can’t connect to the internet even when I enable the share option on my wireless card. Can I fix this issue? Thanks ahead!
I wonder if this has something to do with how the Sharing feature in Windows behaves as a partial NAT. Perhaps the TV isn't accepting connections behind that setup, which could affect your router's full NAT functionality. If you attempt to link another device through the cable to your PC, does it maintain a stable internet connection?
When sharing is enabled on the wireless adapter, the Ethernet adapter switches to a static IP address. I've repeatedly reset it and attempted to connect, but sometimes it works temporarily. Occasionally, I manage to establish a connection, though it's unstable. Restarting or powering off causes loss of connection. No other devices have been connected yet. I'll keep you updated.
