What kind of router is needed for Smart TV?

When you buy a Smart TV, we are often asked what router is needed for smart TV, mistakenly believing that the router model matters. In this article, we will tell you in detail about the choice of the necessary equipment.

Does brand compatibility between TVs and routers matter?

Not really. A TV is no different from a computer or smartphone in terms of connecting to the Internet. You can have a TV of any brand LG, Samsung, Sony or another, any modern router will do. Connecting Smart TV to the Internet will be via a Wi-Fi network or cable.

What modern routers are there?

Now models of dual-band routers, such brands as TP-Link, Mercusys, Mikrotik and so on, are considered popular. You can pick up a device with Wi-Fi 6 support. You can choose the right equipment for yourself on our website. Delivery and setup are included in the price.

Also, in order to choose the right router, we suggest that you read the article “How to choose a router?”. So you can choose a device that will meet your requirements (viewing content in high quality, uninterrupted operation of streaming services, and so on).

Please note that if the TV is connected to the Internet via a Wi-Fi network, you must take care of the location of the router in advance. To ensure that the Internet signal is not interrupted, you must install it in a place where interference will not be created. That is, do not put the router in a closet or next to a mirror. Install it closer to the TV, in an open area.
