Your "footer" says A7000. That is a WiFi USB Adapter. These don't work on "smart" TVs.
Depending on your Samsung player, you can either use wifi or wired Ethernet to connect to the Internet.
In my case,I find Powerline Ethernet to be more reliable and easier to set up than wifi.
- Stix18Dec 07, 2021AspirantIt's a typo. I believe it's a AC7000. Definitely a Nighthawk 1900. I was finally able to update the firmware but still can't connect via a wired connection using methods used in the other thread.

I have other devices connected (wired and wireless) to it without issues connecting to the internet.

AC7000 does not exist.
Nighthawk 1900 is meaningless.There is no such thing as a an R1900. D1900 or C1900. They would be model numbers.
AC1900, if that is what you mean, is not a reliable guide to model number. Many devices come with an AC tag, but it is essentially a label that Netgear, and other brands, attach to hardware to describe wifi speeds.
Look at the label on the device for the model number.
...still can't connect via a wired connection using methods used in the other thread. It's a Samsung blu-ray player that can't connect. I have other devices connected (wired and wireless) to it without issues connecting to the internet.I have no idea what "other thread" you looked at. But when something "can't connect" (how? wifi? wired?), while other things can, that is a pretty good sign that the problem is with the device that refuses to connect. Your Samsung device. As FURRYe38 said early on, you'll have to ask Samsung for help with that.
We still don't know what you have on your network.
