    Does that mean you are asking for help?

     

    If so, you need to think about things the other way round.

     

    Your MR1100 cannot connect to your TV. The TV connects to the MR1100. That's important because it tells you where to look for the problem. The TV.

     

    Not knowing anything about this anonymous Samsung smart TV, not even a model number, it is anybody's guess where it is going wrong.

     

    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.

     

    You have posted your message in the section of this community given over to Nighthawk WiFi Routers. (This is easily done, given Netgear's complicated community structure.)

    Many questions apply to different types of device, so you might get responses here, but you might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your hardware, in the appropriate section for your device. That's probably here:

    I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.
