Cant connect to samsung smart TV after changing to new router N750 premium edition WVDR4300
My old netgear was working fine with smart tv. But after replacing it with N750 ( replaced for faster speed), Tv doesnt even show the network , is anyone facing the same network/connectivity issue or can help resolve this issue please? Thanks.
PS: all other devices like iphone, tablets and computers are connected well and working fine.
Solved - I had to reset the SVC and change the wifi region to "A"in TV, then reset the TV to factory setting.
Step 2 - reset the N600 and there you go, TV connected to WIFI.
Now the other TV i tried the same steps, but it didnt work. So i hooked up Apple TV( i had a spare one) and voila , it's working now.

Which smart TV?
Does it have WPS? That's a "press and connect" button that allows two wifi devices to see each other and connect.

Model Samsung - one is UN46EH5300 and other one is 55". I tried WPS button, the green light blinks.TV showed my home network just for a second before the screen went blank, tried again but TV didnt show any network name at all ( green light on router was still flashing though when i tried second/third time). On the router, my security options are set as "WPA2-PSK [AES]" out of 4 below options:
None
WPA2-PSK [AES]
WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]
WPA/WPA2 EnterprisePlease let me know if i gotta do something else either on the tv or router to make it work. Thanks.

I would reset to factory defaults and try WPS before make any changes to router
