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.
