I want to wirelessly connect my laptop to my smart tv. Can anyone help
No, no one can help with so little information. There are hundreds of laptops and dozens of smart TVs. How is one to guess what to do?
You're not utilizing the ethernet cable correctly. You need to run the ethernet cable from your modem (or something it's that you just use to get web carrier) and then join a video cable (similar to HDMI, VGA, and so on) from the computing device to the tv.
Read the user guide/manual for the TV and laptop. The user guide/manual for the laptop is listed in all programs if not download from the laptop manufacturer. When asking for help post all the laptops info as well as any related info like for the TV. Brand, model number, operating system of laptop. Brand, model, WiFi enabled TV or not etc.
