Samsung TV unable to connect to wireless network
In the last week our Samsung tv has lost the ability to connect to our wireless network. We have a CM1200 cable modem (comcast) an RBR850 touter and 2 RBS850 satellites. We’ve rebooted all devices, tr...
I had the same issue with my RBK850 and Samsung KS8000. After reading other chats, I found out that the issue is actually with the wifi security option. For some weird reason, using WPA2-PSK [AES] now causes issues with the TV (but not without any other device). Using WPA3 doesn't work either.
However, changing the security option to WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] fixed the connection issue. Obviously, this is less secure so not ideal. However, seems the TV has issues with how Netgear must have implemented WPA2-PSK [AES] in a recent firmware update.
Ensure the TVs FW is up to date as well. IF it's working with TPIK and not AES, maybe a problem with the TV.
