Past experience, and the fact that all your other wifi stuff works, suggests that these things may be down to the settings on the "smart" devices, most of which are incredibly dumb.
Tell people what model TVs these are and maybe they can point you in the right direction.
In my case I abandoned wifi and use Powerline plugs to create a LAN connection, much more reliable and easier to set up.
If your devices have LAN sockets, then you should check their settings to see that they are not trying to use that to connect.
