My Netgear router WNR2000v5 does not provide internet for Android TV
Model: WNR2000v5
It works fine with everything except an Android TV box. Any solution?

what error message do you get? Also did you restart your router to see if that helps?
- There's no error message. It is connected as usual. Just internet does not work

It works fine with everything except an Android TV box.Your WNR2000v5 is clearly working as intended. The problem is with your Android TV box.
What is that TV box?
What messages do you see?
Have you sought help from the people who support it?
There isn't much that you can do on a router that works as intended.
- The android box is also working fine with other routers except this one. The TV box and router are just not compatible I think

As wcalifas says, did you restart everything?
And what about the modem/gateway/ONT between the router and the Internet?

As to the TV box, ask the people who made it.
LIke everyone else says, details matter.
What modem/gateway is it connected to?
What android tv box is it?
How far from the router is the android box?
2 things to keep in mind.
1. the wnr2000 is a base model n300 router. It only has 10/100mbps ports so its already limited in its speeds
2. the wnr2000 is only a 2.4ghz router. 2.4ghz is a slow network and sensitive to interference. Even if you get it connected, it might not have the speed to reliably stream video. Not saying you can't but its going to struggle more than a 5ghz network will
- I'd like to inform you that when I turn on hotspot in my mobile phone (which is dual band) , the TV box works fine.

Do you actually want help? Because details matter.
We do this on our own time. And we're not going to fight to drag those details out of you.
- I think this is the most appropriate point. I'm thinking about changing the router.

No Gigabit Ethernet. No 5 GHz wifi.
And never the most capable box in the block.
More trouble than it is worth.
