Hi everyone, I have a netgear R6700V3 and an LG OLED TV with model OLED65B6P. I use the LG tv's built in WebOS to watch youtube and netflix...
long story:
netgear has had a bunch of security issues lately and their newest router firmware is buggy as ... see here for the speed issues users have had starting with version 1.0.4.78 and i can confirm these issues persist in the latest version 1.0.4.96.
nutshell:
I decided to switch to DD-WRT and found out that my router has been stably supported for a while. So I made the switch and followed all the guides. I named the new wireless network the same as my old one and most of my devices picked up the new connection and work great. A few needed to rejoin but no biggy. The big outstanding problem is my LG TV. It refuses to stay connected to the network. It will randomly drop the wifi connection and give no real error message. It refuses to rejoin the network and i have to unplug the TV and rejoin the network before it starts working for X hours and we start all over.
I have no idea what the issue is and while many people are complaining about their LG TV not connecting to wifi, my issues only started as soon as i switched to dd-wrt. Something is miss configured but i have no idea how to troubleshoot. Would hate to go back to the less secure netgear firmware...
