It helps to think about things the right way round.
Your router will never, and cannot, connect to your TV.
As plemans says, it is the other way round. The TV connects to the router. So do the phone and computer.
This means that you should start at the TV end if the connection. What is that TV? How does it connect? Wifi? Wired?
Connecting a TV to the network is usually best done through the TV's controls and set up routine. The router rarely does much more than spit out the wifi signal. It is then down to the TV to do its thing.
What happens when you try to connect? The TV should give you some messages.
Where possible, it is usually easier to use a wired connection from the router to the TV. It is easier to set up and less likely to fall over. If you can't run Ethernet cables around the place, you could look into Powerline Ethernet. It turns your mains wiring into an Ethernet circuit.
