Can't keep my DirecTV to hold the wifi connection

My WIFI disconnects in just minutes after I have successfully set up the WIFI on my TV.

Do you have a streaming device or is DIRECTV STREAM used via the Samsung TV’s apps? WiFi disconnection is usually due to a poor signal connection caused by the TV being too far away from the router. Possible solutions are using Ethernet, getting a signal extender (access point), or having your router moved closer to the equipment.

Thanks that worked, but I also contacted my CenturyLink internet provider and they did some behind the curtain magic programming and the WIFI setup now stays in my TV.
