I have a Nighthawk R8000P and it won't let my Apple tv 4K connect. I know the network is strong enough because it sees it and and all the other devices in the living room are there. I know the password is correct because my phone asks if I want to share network password with Apple TV and I click yes. I have tried about a dozen times. Unplugged and restarted router. Restarted Apple TV several times. I reset the Apple tv and it still "can't connect" to the network, even when I am having it set up via my iPhone, which is connected to the wifi network.
I had used the Netgear app to turn off access to the internet to the Apple TV so kids wouldn't watch it instead of doing schoolwork while I was at work. Then I forgot, and wife couldn't watch tv, so she restarted apple TV and it just said, "cannot join network". I went to web-based config pages for router and saw it was on list of "blocked devices not currently on network". I took it off that list, but still no luck.
Re: Nighthawk R8000P refuses to connect to Apple TV4k
Yes, that's why I unblocked it. Still failed to connect after several tries. Resetting Apple TV and trying to connect to guest network got the thing online. Previously, it had failed to connect to guest network, too. So at least I'm online, but guest network is not optimal as the remote app from phones requires all on same network.

Did you try reconnecting the TV afteryou unblocked it? If that still doesn't work, then the ultimate solution might be to reset the router and set it up from scratch.
