If you have an older or budget TV that doesn't support WI-FI networking, it won't be able to natively wireless display the screen of your Android phone. If the TV has an HDMI connector, you can enable wireless display mirroring by plugging the Belkin Miracast Video Adapter to the TV. You can then wireless display the screen of Miracast compatible phones like the Moto Z Droid.

The Belkin adapter conveniently fits into any HDMI port on your TV and is powered through a USB cable that you can also connect to your TV. Once plugged in, the Belkin adapter automatically goes into the pair ready mode.

To start the screen mirroring process, on the Moto Z Droid go to Settings -> Display -> Cast. From there, the Moto Z Droid will start to locate any available Miracast-supported display nearby. Here we attached the Samsung K4300 Joy Smart TV to the Belkin adapter and see if the TV can be detected by the phone.

    

The Moto Z Droid however could not find any Miracast-based display after some time.  

To investigate further, we tried using the 'Wi-Fi Direct' option on the phone to see if the Samsung K4300 Joy Smart TV is wirelessly connected. (From Settings, select Wi-Fi, and then tap on the three vertical dots on the top right to select Advance -> Wi-Fi Direct.) Here the TV is identified as 'Samsung_eb3c' which is shown to be connected over WI-FI.

  

We then received an 'Invitation to connect' with the Samsung K4300 Joy Smart TV while at the same time the TV could also be seen trying to  connect to the Moto Z Droid. However no Miracast connection was established as the TV was unable to display the phone's screen.

We can confirm that the Moto Z Droid fails to work with the Belkin Miracast Video Adapter.
