Hi @rickjames
The DNS settings for the router should be set on "Automatically Receive DNS IP address" make sure the your ASUS router is connected to the LAN1 and the connection mode is on "DHCP".
This is the standard settings that we provide for users who wants to use a 3rd party router; Please be advised that we do not have reference to your owned 3rd party router. In case it will not work; we recommend to contact the support of your manufacturer.
Also if there are any ideas for getting my samsung TV to find the wireless network if I use the TP link TPG supplied router...
If other device(s) such as smart phones are able to detect and connect to TP Link's Wireless network; there is a chance that the Smart TV's wireless network is not compatible with A/C network.
