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?
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 didn't understand that you asked questions. Sorry about that.
Let me explain a surprising point:
When I directly Connect my TV box with the router's WiFi, the TV box is connected to WiFi but does not stream.
But, when I connect my phone to the router, then turn on hotspot on my phone, then connect the TV box with the phone's hotspot (which is actually connected to the Netgear router), the TV box streams.
Isn't that strange?
Router model: WNR2000v5 (2.4Ghz)
Phone model: Samsung Galaxy A70S (dual band)
TV box: Binge TV box (android 9.0)
- 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.
- Thanks to everyone for responding to my discussion. I have been experiencing the issue for one year.
