    I don't have any answer for the app's inaccurate network map.  I usually ignore it and just rely on the list of network devices via the orbilogin.com admin website.

     

    To help connect your TV, try setting your CTS/RTS Threshold to 2347 to maximize compatibility with older wireless devices:

    1. Go to the web admin portal at http://orbilogin.com/
    2. Click to the Advanced tab, Advanced left menu, Wireless Settings
    3. Set CTS/RTS Threshold to 2347 for both 2.4hz and 5Ghz networks
    4. Press Apply

    See if that helps.  If problems still persist, next try disabling AX mode for the 2.4Ghz band:

    1. Go to http://orbilogin.com/
    2. Click to the Advanced tab, Setup left menu, Wireless Setup
    3. Uncheck "Enable 2.4G" under the top Enable AX section
    4. Press Apply

Thanks for your help.  Changing the CTS/RTS Threshold fixed the problem.  It's connecting now.

 

The LG TV still shows as a satellite, but that doesn't bother me as long as it connects.
