How to share the Internet from your smartphone to a TV with Smart TV?

The Smart TV function allows you to connect to the Internet and view content online. In addition to the fact that the TV can be connected to the Internet via a cable or through a router, you can also distribute the Internet from your phone. Please note that older models of TVs with Smart TV do not always have Wi-Fi, which is necessary to connect to the phone. To make sure that this feature is available, go to the TV settings or read the technical specifications in the device's instruction manual.
