HT1595 Apple tv3 can't find wireless network

Apple tv3 can't find wireless network

can it connect if you connect it to the router by wire?
if the router is set not to broadcast SSID you have to manually type in the SSID
if the router is set to use mac filtering then you need to add the mac address of the appletv to it's list

Please HELP. Apple Tv can't find wireless network!

Hello
Everything worked fine for a couple of weeks and now my Apple Tv refuses to detect my wireless network (which is working perfectly since my imac and my iphone use it as well.
i have tried to reboot apple tv, to disable security access on the network (airport extreme), i have restored factory settings on apple tv and finally i have also moved the apple tv away from a dvd palyer since some people suggested metal could have been the source of the problem... all to no avail.
are there any more suggestions before i ship this back to apple?
thank you

Where you bought the devices is unlikely to stop them working together with one possible exception. In the USA wifi channels are restricted to channels 1 through 11, whereas in the UK (for example) wifi channels 1 through 13 can be used, so there exists the possibility that the extreme could be transmitting on (say) channel 13 and the tv might only be listening on channels 1 through 11.
Given you bought the extreme in the US and the tv in Europe I doubt this would apply unless you have fiddled with the location settings on these devices. I could see it being a possible issue if you'd bought the extreme in Europe and the tv in the US.

HT1595 apple tv can't find my network. What can I do?

All of a sudden my Apple Tv shut down and after retarting (no good) and resetting it continues to say that it cannot find my network, which is an Airport Extreme router system.
Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you tried restarting the router and the Apple TV.

Apple TV2 can't find my network connection after recent update?

Why can't my Apple TV2 can't find my network connection after recent update?

I had to update the software on my Airport Extreme then reset my apple tv and that resolved the issue for me.

Photosmart b209a can't find wireless network.

I've only had this printer for three days. The "Easy One Button" process to get it to find a network failed. It cannot find my wireless network.
I'm using XP Professional on my laptop. McAfee Virus scanning and Firewall. (Not that it matters if the printer can't find the wireless network)
I have a DSL D-link router with NO MAC filtering and yet when I print the Wireless Network Test Report it gives me this whole spiel on MAC address filtering and asks to add the MAC address of the printer to the router... but there's no offered solution if MAC filtering is turned off.
I've changed my router security key from WEP to WPA-PSK.
I've managed to get it to connect twice... and to print a test page on separate days. I have no idea what it is I do that gets it 'online' but it doesn't seem to last.
I have spent several hours over the past three days (wasting entire days) trying to work out what the problem is. I have read forum posts; I have googled for solutions. The troubleshooting guide for the printer seems hopeless.
The printer is on the same desk as the router with only a computer monitor between them.
When I print the HP Network Configuration Page it states the status of the 802.11 Wireless is "Disconnected". The printer's wireless light is on, showing that the wireless radio is working on the printer.
I bought HP because my last printer was HP and it was excellent (but not wireless). If I can't get it to go online, seriously, I'll take it back and exchange it for a different brand of printer. All I want is a printer I can print to wirelessly, is that so hard to ask? Yes, I'm getting really frustrated here. I live in a rural area and I don't have access to geek friends or a computer professional or anything like that and returning the printer requires a two hour drive so I have to be as self-sufficient as possible. Please, try not to use too many technical terms. I can understand some but not all and if anybody can help me, please be clear in their instructions (ie, don't just say 'go to setup blah blah blah' without saying which setup you're talking about.)
Thanks for any help. It is appreciated.

Yes, the desktop is connected to the router with an Ethernet cable.
Yes the laptop is wireless.
The printer is connected to the router via wireless (which I've already stated, it keeps losing the wireless network).
If I don't have my printer connected to the desktop via cable, then I won't have any printing capability at all, because, as I just said, the printer keeps losing the wireless network! I need at least some way of printing when the printer can't find the network (even though the wireless network is working perfectly fine).
So, desktop connected to router with cable.
Laptop is wireless
Printer is wireless for laptop use (but it keeps losing the network and therefore is totally useless in that respect)
Printer is connected to desktop via cable to enable printing because of wireless continuing to lose connection to wireless network.
In fact my printer hasn't been able to connect to the wireless network for 2 days now... even though I'm currently connected to it on my wireless laptop.
Sometimes the printer finds the network, sometimes it doesn't and when it does, if I try to print from the laptop wirelessly, the printer loses the network.
This really is poor product and the installation manual might as well be used for toilet paper for all its worth, same with the 'help' feature on the disk. I only chose HP because I was familiar with it, since my previous printer was HP and reliable (but not wireless). I'm seriously wishing I'd purchased a different brand.
I'm not an IT tech, but I've managed to be able to connect modems and routers and other peripherals to my network without too much hassle at all... until now.
I'm sorry if I sound angry but this is completely frustrating. I spent good money for a product that I am unable to use for the main purpose I bought it! I'm reduced to saving things to USB sticks and physically taking them to the desktop computer and having to print from there.

Can't find wireless network

I just got a new mac cube for my office and installed an airport card in it. My computer recognizes the card but does not see any wireless networks. even when i manually enter my network name and password it can't find it: it either say "there was an error joining the network" or "wrong password" (it's definitely the right password. do i need to configure the new airport card somehow? this is driving me nuts!

Did you attach the antenna wire to the AirPort card when you installed it?

But I just can't find a router which is just some centimetres away.
My card is not broken because in Windows I can connect flawlessly to my router.
No, my network is not hidden.
It's an intel 3495 card.

Apple TV can't find the network

I have had my Apple TV for 8mths. At first it connected to my wi-fi router without any issues. Then, sometimes it couldn't find the network - I would unplug the power for a while, plug it back in and it would work. Now it can't find it no matter what I do. All other devices and printers connect without any issues. I have tried everything on the support pages - restarting it, resetting it to factory settings, moving it to another location in case of interference (I have put it in the exact place where our XBox was and that connected without any issues). I have tried selecting "Other" on the network set up screen and typing in my network manually, it still can't find it. I have a Telstra Bigpond router.

I would check if there is a firmware update for the router
Used to have to turn off my router a lot updated the firmware and it got much better

Windows Can't Find Wireless Network upon Restart

Hello,
I am running Windows XP and have a wireless network set up via a Linksys BEFW11S4. Everytime I restart my computer, the windows wireless client cannot find my network.
I've found that the work around is to unplug for 10 seconds, then plug back in-which usually then allows my laptop to find the network. (I've also used the EasyLink software which arrives at thsi same result).
My question is what do I need to change in order to not have to continually be unplugging and replugging back in my routher.
Thanks!

Try few settings on the router ....
Change the channel on the from 6 to 11 ....
Under advance wireless settings ....
Beacon Interval - 75....
DTIM - 2....
RTS & Fragmentation Threshold - 2306 ....
Change the network name SSID ....Also change the wireless security key ....
See if is shows connected after reboot ....

Apple tv can not find my hidden wireless network

Am trying to install Apple TV 2nd generation.
I use a hidden wi fi network.
I enter the name of the network when prompted, but Apple TV says it can not find the network.
All other devices in my home have found the network.
What could be the problem?

Just disable the hidden network feature so that the Apple TV can see the SSID .Once connected you can reset it .By the way a Hidden Network isn't a security feature .

My Apple TV suddenly can't find my network and tells me it is not connected..help?

My Apple TV suddenly can't find my network and tells me it is not connected..help? I have reset my time capsule and have all the latest updates. My iPhone and ipad do not show airplay even though I have it turned on in Apple TV.

Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router.
Restart your mobile device.

Your home network must have a wireless router somewhere in the house. All of your wireless devices use the same router password to connect to the network. That's where the password is stored and used. Log into your wireless network router and look under the wireless menu section. You should find your password there. If you have other wireless devices connected to your network maybe one of those will display the password. If your router is also password protected and you can't remember that either then your only solution is to reset the router to factory defaults and start over to rebuild your network. With security becoming more and more important these days most passwords are encrypted and not displayed in the open on any devices, including routers. It's extremely important that you remember or have the password written down somewhere and locked away for just such an occasion. Good luck.

Upgraded as prompted, noiw it can't find my network

I was prompted to upgrade airport express software, but after I did ("successful" it said) it searches but can't find my network. I ran airport utility and it found no problems.

Apple have messed up big with teh latest updates to a lot of things they have been forcing upon you. Itunes 10.2 destroyed Airtunes, and something Apple did has caused my network, which has been like a rock for 6 years working flawlessly, to act so erratically that I just don't care anymore. I now have AEX devices flashing yellow and not seen on Airport utility, yet I can play music through airtunes on them. I have an Airport extreme connected to the cable modem to use as a wireless router that will disappear from the utility, yet my internet connection over wireless is unaffected.
It is so FUBAR'd right now I have stopped caring, and will have to wait for Apple to fix all the problems they created with these new updates they are rolling out for purposes I don't really understand.
It is a system that once worked flawlessly as advertised, to something that I don't even try to use anymore. It's frustrating, but what can you do. I just try to complain to Apple enough until I feel I have been heard. I keep my fingers crossed with each update to fix the problems that obviously exist, and each time the updates make the system even worse.

Takes a long time to find wireless network

So for the past few months my (Santa Rosa) MBP will take an extremely long time to find a wireless network. This happens both at home and other places where I have connected in the past and am wanting to use a remembered network. It can take as long as two and a half minutes to connect. If I click on the airport icon in the menu bar, then it says it's scanning for networks during this time.
Usually if I create a new location then the problem will go away but then seems to come back. The problem also persists if I use a different user.
I've repaired permissions, done a disk repair and even used Diskwarrior. I miss instantly finding wireless networks. It's a small inconvenience, granted but was hoping to get this fixed once and for all.
Anyone have any suggestions of things to try? Thanks all.

My computer also has been taking a long time to find a wireless network, up to several minutes. I often have to have it "scan" for networks several times before it finally picks it up. Is there a solution? This has been going on for many months. Other computers (PCs, iPhone) pick up the signals within a few seconds, but my Powerbook takes several minutes, even over 5 minutes sometimes.
See how many networks are listed in Sys Prefs: Network: Advance. Drag the preferred to the top. Delete any you don't really need.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
