This posting is from the author of the original post above. As of mid-OCT/2017 the Netgear Website lists updates for most of the current router models dealing with the SMBv1.x Issue described above. The beta solutions originally sent to me for testing by Netgear confirmed to me that the R8500 and the R9000 series routers have been "fixed". Please take the 3 minutes it will cost you to update your router firmware now. And please verify that you have indeed DISABLED SMBv1.x (NO Checkmark) in your Windows OS as per the instructions in the original thread of this posting. I have not encountered any issues with SAMSUNG or LG Smart TV's using files served from the Netgear Routers using Cable medium or WiFi, even with 5GB Plus 4K files.
