Possible that the TVs are connecting using the older WPA-PSK setting rather then the more secure WPA2-PSK. Try setting WPA-PSK on the main and test. Then try WPA2 and AES only. Have the TVs for get the SSID profile in there settings then try to re-connect.
Is Beamforming and Fast Roaming enabled? Try disabling Fast Roaming and Beamforming with WPA2 and AES only set.

They will not connect to my main Orbi wireless network SSID, but they DO connect to my guest wifi SSID. I reviewed the settings and the guest network is set up with WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK security and the main network is WPA2-PSK. When I set up both the main network and the guest network I do not recall choosing any security options except to assign passwords. Should the security protocol matter? I have no problems connecting my iPad and iPhones to the main network so I know it works. I'm not sure I care that the Samsungs will only connect to the guest SSID, but it is strange that they work with the guest SSID, but not the main SSID. And my Orbi is set as a router, not an AP, if that matters. Any ideas?
