# Routing traffic from Android TV
## Before you begin
To start using traffic routing, make sure that the device you want to route traffic through meets the following criteria:
* The NordVPN app is running, and the Meshnet feature is enabled in the app.
* The device is connected to your Meshnet.
* The **Traffic routing through your device** permission is granted for your client device. To learn more, see [Traffic routing permissions](https://meshnet.nordvpn.com/features/explaining-permissions/traffic-routing-permissions).

**Note**
You can add devices to your Meshnet in two ways, depending on device ownership:
* To add your own device, just enable Meshnet on that device. See [Using Meshnet on Android TV](https://meshnet.nordvpn.com/getting-started/how-to-start-using-meshnet/using-meshnet-on-android-tv) for details.
* To add an external device, send an invitation via the NordVPN app with the owner's email. Ensure the invitation is accepted. See [Adding external Meshnet devices on Android TV](https://meshnet.nordvpn.com/features/linking-devices-in-meshnet/linking-external-meshnet-devices-on-android-tv).
