I have an old ASRock mobo from 2016. Their tech support and product updates suck.

There is nothing you do. Think of it as an accessory that improves reception. Because that is exactly what it is. Better yet, think of a wifi extender, but built into your tv.

There are two SMA connectors on the back of the monitor. You use the included cable to connect to the SMA connectors on the back of your motherboard or wifi card, if they have them.
Think of it as a built-in set of "rabbit ear antennas" that you can connect to your TV, except you connect it to your wireless network card and you don't see it built into the monitor.

Thank you. I was about to use wingdings to type a response to those idiots.

wireless devices have an antenna that receive wifi signals. your phone has a tiny little antenna inside.

if your computer has built in wifi, it will often have a little stubby antenna on the back. that antenna can be unscrewed revealing the SMA connector underneath... https://m.media-amazon.com/images..._QL80_.jpg

simply run a wire and connect it to the back of the SMA connectors behind the monitor and the monitor acts a giant antenna for you.

I think you are right. The other poster who said this is a wifi repeater didn't make sense.
