I ended up running a hardline to the TV since it is close to my router. The hardline works fine. Still don't know the solution for the wireless, but at least my TV is working.

As a quick test, disable WPA security on the RBR. Turn OFF the RBS if you have them. See if the TV connects to the OPEN signal at all.
Then try WPA1 and TPIK then WPA2 and AES only.
Did you check with the mfr of the TV to see if there were any FW udpates for it?

I am having the same exact problem with my Samsung TV connecting to my RBR750. It all worked fine unitl NetGear did their firmware update and now my Samsung TV won't connect.
I checked with Samsung and they said that the software was up to date on my TV an dthat it must be the router.
I was able to connect brielfy using the WPS button on the back of the router and connecting it to the TV with the WPS connection.
However this wouldn't last, almost every night I turn the TV off I would have to reconnect using the WPS. I would have to do this every day or every other day.
Then today it won't even connect using the WPS.
I've tried everything !!
Netgear need to release some kind of software patch.

Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and Orbi system been performed since last update?
Try disabling AX mode on the RBR and set CTS to 2347. Apply changes and reboot everything.
