EX7000 Will Not Connect to Samsung Smart TV

I'm having difficulty logging onto the Extender through my Samsung Smart TV.  My other devices can access the extender point, but not the TV.  I see both of the 5 and 2 options listed under the network choices available.  The password is correct.  It just wont connect.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,I had a similar problem with my LG smart tv ,,,I resolved it by going to a static address and changing the security settings,,,I am using the smart connection option 

Hope this helps

Thanks so much for your reply.  I'll try that - but do I change the Security Settings on the extender, or on the TV?  Can you please walk me through step by step how to do that?  Sorry for my lameness, and I appreciate it!

You change your security  settings on the extender,,I changed the security to the second choice,,,Wpa Pskov trip wpa2 Pskov aes,,,,and as I said I also chose to use a static address this is the one I would use first,,,if you google  how to select static address on the ex7000 it will step you thru how to do this,,you could also google how to change the security settings on the ex7000,,but try the static address first,,you may not have to change the security,,,

Good luck

cheers
