Samsung Tv does not connect to orbi RB850
Hi Brains trust, I set up my new ORBI Mesh router and satellite RB850 last night and I have not been able to connect my Samsung Tv to the Orbi. I see that there is lots of similar comments...
No other device has had issue connecting to the Orbi just the samsung tv.
No unusual characters in SSID or password
Satellite is WIFI connection and I have tried turning the satellite off.
No switches are involved.
Which specific model of Samsung TV?
(presume the TV was working correctly with the previous WiFi system? When I replace WiFi systems, I always use exactly the same WiFi credentials on the new system (SSID/password). Not interested in reconnecting 40+ WiFi gizmos. With the same credentials, they 'just connect'.)
Yes it was working perfectly prior to setting up the Orbi system.
Its a UA65KS9000W
Probably too late to go back and use the same credentials as the previous system. (sigh)
On my (non Samsung) TVs and streaming boxes, there is a Network Setting screen which displays the names of strong WiFi signals (a BUNCH in my neighborhood). I select my Orbi network SSID from the list, and use their horrible "keyboard thingy" to enter the password. (regret now having so many capital letters in the password).
Do you get a "Bad Password" error, or...............?
No it connects to the router allegedly just keep getting automatic ISP fail
