You don't give us much to go by, but it is probably the other way round. Your smart TV can't talk to your R6400, which just sits there churning out Internet.
From what has come along here in the past, the problems are usually at the "smart" end. These aren't the easiest things to set up.
Is this a wifi connection? Or a LAN?
And what is the smart TV?
There have been various discussions here of Samsung smart stuff. Search for that might throw up more ideas.
- HappymagNov 16, 2017AspirantMy smart tv can see the network and it seems to be all set up on that end but it won’t connect with the router. Any suggestions or ideas to try??

Despite the name, Smart TVs are amazingly dumb. Problems getting them to connect nearly always come done to the TV. The router spits out its wifi, and it is then down to the TV to play ball.
Which TV is this?
Do other wifi clients connect as expected?
