Samsung TV cant join Orbi Wifi
Orbi RBR750, 2 satellites (1 of them inches away from the TV) Firmware V4.6.9.11_2.3.5 While I did see other posts about this, they seem to be over 1 year old... The Samsung TV can join oth...
I was finally able to connect.
Used the normal password with special characters, connecting to the satellite.
After I setup the static IP and configured it, I got the same error. I left the room and forgot to write down the error message. I returned and setup the same static IP and worked this time!
I restarted the TV a bunch of times, rescanned the wifi etc and seem to stay on and work with the static IP.

Every time I try to the Orbi it seems to accept the password but never connect/or get an IP.
I have tried manually assigning the IP and DNS but I still cannot
Which specific model of Samsung TV?
Are there any special characters or spaces in the WiFi password? (I find the process of entering things on a TV interface frustrating.)
Please describe manually assigning in more detail. (on the TV itself? using the router LAN Setup table?)
So, "nothing happens" on the TV setup when the connection attempt is made? (no error message, no confirmation, just "nothing"?)

yes there are special characters. I did setup a hotspot from the phone with same password and the TV was able to connect to the hotspot.
I manually assigned an high IP to the TV. I do have a bunch of other IP reservations for other devices.
Sadly the TV just gives a very generic could not connect error.
For now plugging an ethernet cable from the satellite to the TV does work, but ideally I would want to use the wifi or at least know why it doesnt work.
Can you try using a tempoary generic Password on the Orbi system just to see if the TV connects? Try password123. Change this back to your normal PW.
ok I tried to turn off the satellites and simple password with no special characters. Same result. "Wireless Network Connection Failed"
IP Auto setting failed. Try the following to setup up the IP automatically, or set up the IP manually by selecting 'IP settings'
-Ensure DHCP server is enabled.
I guess I will try to give it reservation and set it manually later tonight.
