AC1600 Model C6250 Modem/Router "Can't Find Router" message

Hello, I recently purchased the AC1600 C6250 Modem/Router to replace an older model and had issues with the initial set up.  I have basic tech knowledge and can navigate following the Quick Start instructions however I was unable to get the device connected.  I have Spectrum internet service and they sent a technician to help me get the wifi set up. I have been able to connect my laptop, iPad, iPhone, Xerox Wifi printer, and Honeywell Wifi Thermostat successfully but I am not able to connect 2 of my SONY SmartTVs.  I've gone into the set-up instructions on both TVs and entered the SSID and password correctly, but they are not connecting.  When I open the Nighthawk app, I get the "can't find router" message. Just wondering why the router is not being "recognized" and if that's why these 2 TVs are not connecting.  Your feedback is appreciated.
