Aspects of 2.4 & 5G WiFi. Connecting different devices in the home?
1 PC and 1 LED TV are connected directly to the C6300. All other devices are connected to 5G wifi. When the LED TV is turned on, the devices on 5G loose their signal. The signal is strong throughout the house. Why is this happening and what is the fix?

"directly" means by Ethernet cable, or what? And how, exactly, is
the network interface on your (unspecified) "1 LED TV" configured?> [...] Why is this happening and what is the fix?
Based on not much information, my guess is that the network
configuration of your (unspecified) "1 LED TV" conflicts with that of
your router. What does it say about its network configuration?I'd try resetting the TV, and letting it try to use DHCP to configure
itself. The instructions for the TV might offer some clues.- speedfinchAspirant
The TV is a 55" Sony Bravia. Both it and the PC are connected to the C6300 Router by ethernet cables. The router is fed from a Spectrum 100Mb connection. I don't know what the acronym DCHP stands for? I can't seem to find much info on the C6300 either.
