Can't access high band with Samsung TV
I can access my WNDR4300v2 router with my Samsung UN65KS TV, if I connect to the 2.4GHz band. However, I cannot connect over 5GHz. I contaced Samsung support, and they have no idea of what I'm talk...

5 GHz is faster than 2.4 GHz but has a shorter range.
If 2.4 GHz works, and is fast enough, fine.

After testing for about a week, I found that the Win 10 system on my Surface maintained my router connection on the 2.4Ghz band without dropping it even once. There's no difference otherwise, and the 5Ghz connection had dropped almost daily.
