How do I stream content from my PC to my TV?
Stream from PC to TV directly with an HDMI cable Setup overview: HDMI outputs come standard on newer laptops, PCs and Chromebooks. Many tablets have mini HDMI outputs, a smaller version of the same thing. Simply run a HDMI to HDMI cable between the HDMI ports of the computer and TV to mirror content on both screens.
Should I enable DLNA on router?
The DLNA standard uses UPnP, allowing for the discovery of other devices and communicate with those devices. So if you are not streaming media from a local PC(or other device) on your network then you will be OK to disable it. I would be careful disabling UPnP though as other technologies that you use might rely on it.
What happens if I disable UPnP?
If you turn off UPnP altogether, your router will ignore all incoming requests so you’ll have to set up devices manually. This means that the router will no longer automatically open ports on your LAN, ignoring even legitimate requests.
