You shouldn't have to open a port on the NAT router, since you are on a local network. I'd look into the process with your TV and follow the manual. Most TVs use Miracast, however it is sometimes hit or miss (delete the device on the TV and retry), you have to follow the instructions exactly, and do it on the TV side as well. Here is a link to the Sony Bravia instructions on the TV side: http://docs.esupport.sony.com/imanual/N ... rated.html
