Something maybe got hung up on the TV or router.
What NG product are you referring too? Is this a NG cable modem with built in router?

When I had the opportunity to post the question I was asked in one of the fields, "Model (Recommended - Helps the community give the best answers)" and I answered (just as I did here again) "NETGEAR - Nighthawk CAX30 AX2700"
I wonder why it didn't take when I posed my question. Thanks for responding BTW.

Try configuring a IP address reservation for the TV on the modems web page under Advanced Tab/Settings/LAN Setup.

Sorry, not entirely sure what you mean by "configuring a IP address reservation."
Is that like a backup in case I exerience the same problem again?
Here is a picture and I am not sure if this is what you are referring to. My apologies but I have no idea if any of that info already filled out in some of the fields should not be divulged so I erased it. The bottom part of the picture where it says Use Router As... a lot of those number while there they are also greyed out and I did not want to see if I could add anything. I am a firm believer in if it ain't broke it doesn't need fixing : )

Select the ADD button, next screen you should see a list of devices. The TV should be listed there. Select it to add the reservation.
