It's a common issue.

If changing the DNS to 8.8.8.8 or 4.2.2.1 doesn't clear it up, make it a warranty issue.

Samsung's implementation can see wired work and wifi fail. You can debate it all you want but if they determine a router setting fixes it, they do charge for that. It's not a PC, smart phone or like your other devices and that really upsets folk.

I agree, make sure that you try manually changing the DNS Server. Should this not work you can also try making sure that ports 182-192 are open on the router. To find out exactly how to do this, you would need to reach out to the router manufacturer.
