How Do I Connect My Smart TV to a Hotspot?

Before we get too far into this, make sure you have a TV capable of connecting to Wi-Fi and a working mobile hotpot. Once you’re sure the mobile hotspot is working, connecting it to your smart TV only takes a few moments.

Why Won’t My Smart TV Connect to My Mobile Hotspot?

First, you’ll have to make sure your hotspot and your TV are compatible. Make sure other devices can connect to your hotspot, and make sure your TV can connect to other networks. This will help you identify where the problem actually is: the hotspot, your TV, or the connection between the two. Second, check your hotspot hasn’t run out of data. Depending on your data plan, you may not have unlimited hotspot data, and it’s possible may run out of data faster than you expect. Third, be sure to test out your hotspot’s speeds. Try connecting a phone or computer to the hotspot and running a simple internet speed test. If you have a really bad connection in your particular location, you may find it difficult or frustrating to stream movies and TV shows. Consider moving the hotspot to a different location.
