Get your TV online in 3 steps.
Step 1
Connect to Wi-Fi
Plug your Android stick into the TV's HDMI port. Power it on and complete the Android setup wizard — connecting to your home Wi-Fi.
Step 2
Allow side-loading
Go to Settings → Security & restrictions → Install unknown apps. Toggle ON for the browser or File Manager you'll use to install the APK.
Step 3
Open this page on the TV
On the TV, open a browser and visit nexso.net/download. Tap the big sky-blue Download button above. When the file finishes, tap it to install.
After install — pair your TV
- Open the Nexso app on your TV. It will display a 6-character pairing code & QR.
- Sign in at nexso.net/login (or create an account — 7 days free, no card needed).
- Go to Dashboard → Screens → Pair a TV, scan the QR or enter the 6-character code.
- Pick a template, customize it, and publish to your screen instantly.
Use ADB for bulk-install
Deploying multiple sticks? Run our one-shot provisioning script — it installs the APK and sets Nexso as the default Home launcher in ~30 seconds per stick. See the playbook →
Stuck or locked out?
If you can't get past the Wi-Fi screen or your TV won't accept the install, follow our recovery guide. Most issues come from older Android versions silently blocking sideloads — we have a fix.
