Then connect the USB connector on the dongle to an available port on the TV so that it can be turned on. Connect the WiFi cable from the dongle to the port on the router device.
After all connections are properly installed, turn on the Smart TV and switch the display input to the HDMI connection.
Each TV has different settings for switching the input to the HDMI display. Follow the method according to the instructions provided by your Smart TV. After input to the HDMI display, the Smart TV system will read and show that there is an HDMI dongle device that was connected before.
Next, open the Miracast app on your cell phone that was downloaded and installed earlier.
