nighthawk dual band router wifi 7 rs200
Netgear Nighthawk WiFi 7 , RS200
I have connected my new router, and the Wi-Fi works fine on my laptop and desktop and Chromebook. However, it will not work on my LG TV nor my Alexa Show.
On the TV the setting shows excellent connection to my network, but I cannot
open any of the apps on my TV or on my Roku stick.
On my Alexa Show, it is telling me to log into my Nighthawk App. When I di that, the App asks me to start setup all over again.
I am ready to return this router if I cn't get it workingsoon.

This suggests that the problem is with these added devices rather than the router.
Connecting a TV to the network is usually best done through the TV's controls and set up routine. The router rarely does much more than spit out the wifi signal. It is then down to the TV to do its thing.
Where possible, it is usually easier to use a wired connection from the router to the TV. It is easier to set up and less likely to fall over. If you can't run Ethernet cables around the place, you could look into Powerline Ethernet. It turns your mains wiring into an Ethernet circuit.
On my Alexa Show, it is telling me to log into my Nighthawk App. When I di that, the App asks me to start setup all over again.Which app? Alexa? Nighthawk?
Again, the solution is probably with the Alexa set up.
If you had the Alexa set up to work with an older router, then you may have to reset it and go through the setup again. It has to forget the connection with the older router.
