do you have the wifi on the C7000 running?
Is the Samsung connected to that?
The C7000 is a modem/router combo device. Do you have it in modem only mode? or the Orbi in access point mode?
Otherwise you're running 2 routers in router mode on your network which can cause a double nat.

Cable is in the C7000 ethernet cable is in the RBS , ethernet cable from RBS to imac - 2 satelittes
17 devices connected to ORBI running just fine
Samsung says connected to wifi but the smarthub will not work and this 1 TV is not anywhere located in my ORBI devices on the app or Admin login on desktop.
When we trouble shot the smarthub the lady had me connect the TV to my iphone HOTSPOT and boom it worked instantly

The router? , ethernet cable from RBS---- truly from the satellite? And how is the satellite connected to the rbr wireless or wired? the rbs to imac - 2 satelittes

This was kind of vague. So down to basics.
1. Is the wifi running on C7000?
2. Do you have the c7000 in modem only mode or bridge mode?
3. Did you disconnec the samsung from your phone and redo your internet connection for the tv?
What error is it giving you?

Check the mode of the C7000 modem, connect a wired PC to the modem and log into the modems web page at 192.168.100.1.
Navigate to Advanced Tab, Adminstration, Router mode. You may see Yes or Not or NAT mode, Enable or Disable. If you see router or NAT mode set to Yes, then the modem is working in router mode. This should be set to NO or disabled to get the modem to modem only mode.
