IMPORTANT: This article applies only to specific products and/or operating systems. Check Applicable Products and Categories for details.

Follow the steps below to share media from your iPhone® or iPad® device to your TV using the Wi-Fi Direct® feature.

Before You Start

• It's recommended to update your TV to the latest software version.
• Wi-Fi® ready TVs (without built-in wireless) require the UWABR100 USB wireless LAN adapter (not supplied) to enable this feature. This adapter has been discontinued and is no longer available. If you already have this adapter for your Wi-Fi ready TV, proceed with the setup procedure.

Set up the Wi-Fi Direct feature

1. Turn on the Wi-Fi Direct feature of your TV

   There are several ways to turn the Wi-Fi Direct on depending on your TV model:

   • Android TV™/Google TV™
   • 2015 and newer LCD TV models
   • 2013 and 2014 LCD TV models
   • 2011 and 2012 LCD TV models

2. Establish connection between the mobile device and your TV.

   1. Make note of the SSID and WPA Key information that appeared on your TV screen from the previous step.

      

      • The display varies depending on the TV model and/or OS version.

   2. On your mobile device, tap Settings.

      

   3. Under Settings, tap Wi-Fi.

      

   4. Tap the switch to turn the Wi-Fi on.

      

      • The switch color will turn green and a list of active networks will appear

   5. Select the SSID of the TV (refer to step 1).

      

      • Make sure to use the SSID for your TV, not the example provided in the image. The TV SSID varies by model.

   6. Enter the password (WPA key from step 1), then tap Join.

      

      • Check the note at the top of your mobile device screen to make sure it displays the correct SSID before entering the password.

   7. Wait for the connection to establish.
      • The connection is successful if a check mark appears beside the SSID on the mobile device and a dashed line displays on your TV.

        

      • If the connection fails, retry the steps above and make sure to enter the password (WPA key) correctly.

3. Share media between the mobile device and your TV

   After the setup is complete, you can now share media from your mobile device to your TV through iMediaShare software, or visit the App Store® to check for other similar applications.
