Re: Cant open apps on my LG smart tv after new router installed
What Firmware is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Might contact the TV mfr and for help and information on the TV. Orbi should be directly impacting operation of apps on a TV.

Re: Cant open apps on my LG smart tv after new router installed
For future reference.
This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT
https://kb.netgear.com/30187/How-to-fix-issues-with-Double-NAT
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop

This same thing happened to me and It was because the orbi was on router mode, not access point mode. Once I switched to access point mode, all works great. I had my original Verizon router in the basement doing the routing. I did the orbi auto set up and just assumed it would detect and make the orbi an access point. It didn’t, and I ended up with two routers on the network which isn’t good. Switch the orbi to access point (AP) mode and it will fix the issue.
