Here's the thing:
1) the router is in the identical location the previous router was located.
2) manual was read and properly setup and I consulted a network engineer to confirm after the fact.
3) I've tried hooking up both 2.4ghz as well as 5ghz. The problem is the TV is sporadically seeing or not seeing any network. Not just my network but the neighbors as well.
4) yes will be hard wiring next but curious to my question above.
5) everything else in my household, much further away from the router connected just fine, which includes tablets, phones, PC's, Roku's, Camera, Doorbell, every smart device in my house hold, without any connectivity issues. The TV is the only product with this issue....
