Only you know how the TV connected to the Internet. It will either be wireless or wired. Which was it?
In general, the way to get a "smart" TV to play nice is to use its setup and configuration controls. There's not much that you can do on the router. It just puffs out wifi. It is then up to the TV to do the connecting.
You don't say what this TV is, so no one can do more than tell you to dig out its manual and follow the instructions.
