Will an 802.11n router accept a signal from an 802.11ac TV?
New Samsung tv connects to the network, but not the internet. Is has an 802.11ac wifi card. Will my 802.11b/g/n wireless router accept that version or do I need to upgrade?...because I can't connect....

Odd, it appears wireless is fine and addresses are being allocated.
However, I know that some Samsung TV's have issues with AES encryption and it might be worth trying that...
On your router, firstly change the wireless channel from auto to a fixed one, 6, 3 or 12. Then set the wireless encryption to WPA-PSK (TKIP) - You may need to re-enter your wireless password. Whilst on the router check that there are no restrictions set for devices (parental or keyword blocking)
Restart your router and then your TV...

I am set up exactly as you recommended. There are no parental controls.
