Nighthawk X6 R8000 Block Hulu App in Smart TV

I had a Netgear N900 and i upgrade to the Nighthaw X6 R8000.

I have 2 samsung smart tvs that worked before with the N900 (Youtube, Hulu & Netflix) always worked however the R8000 for some reason doesnt let the Hulu App to connect. i switch the tvs to hotspot with my phone and the Hulu app works. does anyone had this problem before any solution. 

Thank you for any help.

    What modem/gateway is it connected to? 

    What firmware is on the router? 

    What error does it give you? 

    All the other apps work?

    All other devices work? 
    And hulu works on phones/pc's? just not on the tv?

      It is connected to my Arris SB6190

      Firmware: V1.0.4.62_10.1.74 and i try a downgrade and nothing.

      No errors when i open hulu is says Loading after a min it say Sorry. Hulu was unable to start, please try again later.

      Yes all the aps works, and when i connect the tvs with my phone hotspot the hulu app works.

      any device that is connect it through the router, wont let the hulu app work. but i know the hulu app works when using phone internet.

        Try a different dns provider like googles at 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4
