simenr1,
Unfortunately, I can't provide support for routers or assist with router settings. I'd recommend calling Apple's customer support to see if they can help set your router up to connect. Often times, there's a setting that will allow the signal to pass.

So, where can I buy a Samsung router? Or make Samsung my ISP? It seems to be the only way to avoid the "third part answer".
simenr1,
I was trying to assist. The Apple routers sometimes respond differently with various settings, and contacting their customer service will help more than I can.

I have the same issue. Bought a UN55C9000 and own an Apple airport extreme. Hooked up the internet and it worked great the first night. Next morning when I woke up it failed. Entered all the router info manually and now it fails on "Gateway Ping". I have so many other items connected to this network; my iMac, a laptop, my iPhone, PS3... even the wireless touchscreen remote that came with the TV stays connected but for some reason the TV fails. I find this very disheartening after spending the amount of money I did on this. Searched all over the net and there are no straight answers. How is it that it works one day and not the next? Very suspect.
