Thanks for your replies - I played around with making my iPhone a hotspot and when I selected the router wifi it brought up the Genie window asking to set the password - I set it, but the Ok button didn't seem to change state (GUI appearance ). I then went back to the Sony tv and started setting up the network again. instead of WPS I chose to enter the password - it would not take the password I entered on the phone so I entered the old password. All the apps loaded and Netflix is back on the tv. from my laptop I am now able to login into the router settings and see the usual stuff (devices connected to my network, etc.,etc) I had also plugged in an ethernet cable, but not sure if the tv connected to the router via the cable or thru the air. Next time the tv is on Netflix I'll login into the router and take a peek
Sooo, Basically I fixed it but I don't know how or why - haha. I certainly learned a lot about the process.
Thanks again!
