I bought a router (Netgear) so my husband and I could watch programs in the bedroom. Installed it without a problem.

Now I have absolutely no idea how to actually "beam" anything to the bedroom TV.

The booklet that came with the router is absolutely useless and assumes I'm a lot smarter than I actually am.

Does the bedroom TV have ethernet capabilities?

There is a lot to figure out here. Beings a router is used for "the internet" your Tv must be A) ethernet capable Tv. B)if A is confirmed then you need either a long ethernet cable or I believe a wireless bridge. This bridge will connect to your TV via ethernet cable and then "talk" to your Router wirelessly. Now, I know the Samsung ethernet capable TV sells a USB Wi-Fi for there sets. Not sure if it's what you need.

Is this helping your question?

The most important thing we need to know is if your TV is in fact ethernet capable.

Let us know!

Is your TV WiFi compatible?
What are you streaming to your TV? Media files?

Also, I have a ROKU Soundbridge M001 which is used for sound bridging. Now, I know ROKU makes devices that stream entertainments. Here is a link to the ROKU website for more info.

It's built into the wall so your inquiry has to go unanswered until my husband pulls it out and checks.

Where is the manual? With all the other manuals that I have put somewhere so I always know where they are. Wonder where that is?
