It's important to understand that connection quality directly depends on the router's power and the distance between the devices. Proper network configuration will allow you to enjoy high-definition content without lag.

Technical features of connecting Dexp to a smartphone

Televisions Dexp often work on the basis of an operating system Android TV or use their own shells with protocol support Miracast And DLNAThis means that a router is not required to transmit images via Wi-Fi if Wi-Fi Direct technology is used. In this mode, the TV automatically creates an access point to which the phone connects.

Usage Bluetooth In the context of multimedia, it's most often limited to transmitting audio or small files. Transmitting a high-quality video signal via Bluetooth is technically impossible due to the channel's low bandwidth. Therefore, to display images on the screen, one must rely on the Wi-Fi modules of both devices.

  • 📡 Miracast — a wireless multimedia transmission standard that allows you to mirror your phone's screen on a TV in real time without quality compression.
  • 📂 DLNA — a protocol for exchanging media content on a local network, ideal for viewing photos and videos from a smartphone's memory.
  • 🔵 Bluetooth — a near-field technology used primarily for connecting headsets, speakers, or transmitting documents.

It is worth noting that the older models Dexp may not support modern codecs or have weak Wi-Fi modules. In such cases, it is recommended to use external adapters or HDMI cables with adapters if the wireless connection is unstable.Checking your model's specifications is the first step to a successful setup.

⚠️ Please note: The Bluetooth module in Dexp TVs is often only intended for connecting peripherals (keyboard, mouse, headphones) and may not support file or screen transfer.

Preparing equipment and setting up the network

Before you begin synchronizing, you need to make sure both devices are ready to work. This is a basic step, and ignoring it leads to 90% of all connection problems. Make sure that on the TV Dexp The latest firmware version has been installed, as older software versions may contain errors in the operation of network modules.

If you plan to use a router to connect devices into a single network, make sure they are connected to the same SSID. A common mistake is when a phone is connected to a guest network or the 5 GHz band, while the TV operates in the 2.4 GHz band, and the router isolates these segments.
