Samsung TVs suddenly have lost WiFi connections & won't reconnect!
I can write the same detailed content that I have posted to a Samsung forum, if needed, but basically my 2 not so smart Samsung TVs have lost their WiFi connections & cannot reconnect! I have several other devices, iPhone, Galaxy phone, iPad, Windows laptop, Mac book Pro, Brother printer & a range extender in my garage, that are connected just fine.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Do you have the MK70 series mesh system?
Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router, and satellites been performed since last update?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.What channels are being used on the router unit?
If all other devices are connecting fine, then sounds like a issue with the TVs. Ask about FW updates for the TVs.

I have the MR70 router & an MS70 satellite.
I have rebooted everything, in order, when I first noticed the problem & the Samsung TV Plus wouldn't work, as the TVs aren't connected to WiFI, I do have Apple TV boxes right under each of the TVs & they have no problems connecting.
Everything else in the house is working with no issues. I was starting to wonder if there was any issues with 2.4 GHz vs 5 GHz, that I might need to set up a separate 2.4 or 5 GHz network & force the TVs to connect to that.
