does it have to be a smart tv? or can any tv with an ethernet port work

You configure it with a PC. Then it should work on anything. I use it for a cluster of PC's connected to a network switch. Works better than a USB wireless card.

I do not have a smart tv, just a tv witb an ethernet port and it worked great

It can work on any device with an ethernet port. Of course, it just provides the connection. No apps.

This is not a "smart tv". To my knowledge there is no internet viability and it will not connect to Netflix, or any apps through the tv directly. With additional equipment it can run smart parameters, but that is through xbox one, chromcast, or something of the regard.

Should be okay. SmartTV feature should work with any home network regardless of location.

You must have a cable box to use this tv. A router would not work either . This is a transmit and receive System. It must have a video input for the transmitter.

You can use Ethernet. You have to do initial set up via Ethernet, just don't enable wireless and you'd be all set.

You might need a firmware update for your TV. Most TVs with that support this allow it through multiple means, including via USB stick. Check your TV's user manual or consult the manufacturer's website. You might also check to see if you can plug an ethernet cable into it.

I've just ordered one by Logitec. Everybody says it can be used with Smart TVs.

You can plug into any TV that has HDMI input. This device makes any TV Smart. So why would you want to plug it into a smart TV unless you have smart programs that this one does not? The only wires that would show are the power line and the HDMI cable. The unit is wifi so the internet signal goes from your router to the unit by air transmission. Hope this helps. Joe

For internet connectivity, it works on Wifi also, you don't need an Ethernet cable. However, you need a HDMI cable to connect it to TV.

I forgot to add that the tv must be connected to Ethernet in order to use DLNA

Is there an Ethernet connection on this tv? I have seen conflicting reports on this. Thanks, Jer

It does not have any way to access video other than Ethernet or WiFi. Unless you have a smart TV with supporting apps, it won't work.

I don't have a smart tv. I bought it for my laptop but it is not compatible so I don't use it

As with any TV with an HDMI input, you can use a Chromecast with this television. The Chromecast device has its own internal WiFi antenna, so no Ethernet cable is required.

hi, if the tv specifies ethernet--yes it will work fine. I use 5e cable (and one 6 somewhere) they work fine.

Yes, it would plug to the Ethernet cable socket on the back of the TV. I use my device in this way on a Samsung L:N40D630 TV that is not wireless enabled but has a Ethernet socket.

I use it to connect my computer to the router. As long as your smart TV accepts ethernet cords you're good to go.
