Connecting Tv To Router.

[Gavmacp]

When we bought our TV we simply connected it using an Ethernet cable but at the time there was another device.
They were two boxes one you plugged by your router and connected using Ethernet cable. The other box you plugged by TV and again connected by Ethernet cable. They then sent and received information using radio waves. The chap said we had to get a certain bandwidth as some are affected by mobile phones etc.
I am not after the powerline option.

I'd find it easier to make sense of your post if you could provide the make and model number of your TV set, please. (The device you need might be make- or model-specific).

I am confused myself!!
It isn't for my tv, but we have an old Panasonic. The equipment that I am looking for is for connecting your TV to router without the need of having an Ethernet cable running from your router to TV. It used radio waves now the ones available use your electrical system to connect but that is not what I am after. When we were looking, many years ago it was in Marlin. Is this a system that is no longer available?

Most modem/routers have WiFi these days. Maybe you just need a WiFi dongle that plugs into your TV ?

I would be interested to know your reason for wanting to use a radio wave system rather than the powerline system; the powerline system works perfectly well for me.

Me too, however the power line option might not be as straightforward if the TV is on a different ring main. If so I suggest a dongle to wifi too.

The plug that may receive the signal may be on a different ring. Do not know anything about dongles. Do I have to take out a contract with phone company to use this?

[bhg481]

Different ring doesn't matter. I was messing about with my internet radio yesterday and plugged my powerline into a different ring from the router - no problem.

Bhg that is reassuring. I want to allow father in law to use his laptop away from house in his summerhouse but want know all the possible problems before going to Scotland. My wife's brother lives with them but absolutely useless. We sent him an iPad which just sat there for months until we went up.
