Apple TV ok connecting wireless to HomeHub 2 but n...

Hi - just got BT HomeHub and works ok (although waiting for the throttle to support Vision but more on that if it's an issue
I have AppleTV and a Mac Pro (used to work fine on Sky using their Sagem on WEP) and want to now connect to my new HomeHub 2, but with either WEP or WPA Apple TV can't get itself an internet connection - although it connects to the wireless network fine.
All other devices in the house are grabbing internet wirelessly no problem. Just the Apple TV that is getting no link to the Internet.
Is there anything else I should be doing to the HomeHub before I can expect an internet connection for my AppleTV?
Did search the forums here but nothing specific to this issue
Thanks all
Rakk

Try going to rouetr config page (http://bthomehub) going to settings, advanced, application sharing and forwarding the ports that Apple TV uses. I don't think its on the ''supported apps'' list so u need do it manually. Im sure u will figure it out its simple if u not tech savvy.
if you have trouble figuring out how to manually add apple TV as an app and assigning it to the device go to www.portforward.com
If you done this. Try disabling the routers Firewall and see if ti works. Never used apple TV can it be plugged in using a wire? try this just for troubleshooting, plug direct into Homehub and see if it works. Let us here at forum know.
I am no expert. Correct me when I am wrong. Learning is good!

Why does my apple no longer connect wirelessly at home - it is about 3-4 years old.

why does apple not connect wirelessly anymore.
mothers mac book pro does - as do other HP and Dell laptops we have - also iphones etc
says 'connection timeout after wheel spins for 2 seconds only
very frustrating
worked ok in apple store today connecting wirelessly to their computer
is problem with m y Mac or the router - as i said - router works with other laptops perfectly

Turn Off the router & then turn back On. Then you'll probably connect.

HT1595 i have an HD ready 3 D tv. not smart tv. i.e can the apple tv be connected wirelessly from the tv or do I need additional connection?

I would like to know if connecting the apple smart tv console requires any additional connections or does it plug straight into the tv where the lan cable would normally be installed?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The Apple TV only connects to a TV with HDMI.

Mini connected wirelessly to new AXTREME. but...

I took the new Airport Xtreme out of the box, plugged in the cable modem and immediately connected wirelessly to the new Airport. I somehow managed to set up security, so I think my wireless network is secure. I am only using it at g speeds since my particular mini does not support n.
Now that I want to go back into the setup details for the Airport, I cannot manage to get there. I can still connect to it and get to the internet, but when I try to use the Airport Admin Utility (Finder>Applications>Utilities>AirPort Admin Utility) it cannot connect (error says"This version of AirPort Admin Utility does not support this base station"). When I go back to the Utilities folder and try the AirPort Setup Assistant, the station does not appear on the list (even after I hit "scan again".
How do I get to the station's settings? How would I even be able to update its firmware (which I guess I wouldn't need to right now since I just got it, but at some point I would want to be able to...). Thanks for any input!

Did you install the SW that came with your Airport Xtreme? There should have been a CD accompanying your Xtreme. Installing the SW should give you a new application:
Finder->Applications->Utilities->AirPort Utility
AirPort utility is the application to use with Xtreme.

My Apple Tv is connecting to the Wifi network but is not connect to the internet. So when I look for it on my Airplay it doesn't come up. I have 3 other ones already working on the network and they are all fine.

My apple TV is finding and connecting to the Wifi network but then says it is not connected to the internet and then I cannot find it on the iPad through airplay. I don't want it connected to the internet (as in www.) because for the use I have I only need to use the Apple tvs locally in a sports hall as scoreboards. I have 3 others working on the same router and they are working fine (as of yesterday)
On my screen I see (obviously not written like this)
network connect- yes
signal strength- fine
Ip address- fine
DCN- fine
Activation- Failed
This is the only negative I can find and the statement that the Apple TV has connected to the wifi but is not connected to the internet.
Where has it gone wrong for me. Please help

It is not properly connected to the network.
Make sure location is set correctly
DNS should be on auto (settings - general - network)
Try ethernet
Signal strength on device won't account for issues, you would need a network report from istumbler, netstumbler or similar. This will show accurate signal strength along with noise and nearby networks

My apple tv wont connect to i tunes store, but it will to net flix

my apple tv wont connect to i tunes, but it will connect to netflix

Youtube is a different service and server.
Check the network
What is the current connection, use speedtest.net
If on wifi try ethernet
Make sure router is up to date. DNS should be set to automatic (settings - general - network)
Go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC) to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise.

Unable to connect wirelessly to homehub

I wonder if anyone can shed any light on this problem.
I am trying to connect a laptop running xp to a homehub. I can connect to the fon network ok and I can connect to other wireless networks ok. I can connect fine with a different laptop so I am certain the problem lies with the laptop, Is there a simple way to delete the hub connection and set it up from scratch?
Many thanks

cotswold
gotto control panel network connections - then right click on your wireless connection and select properties. Click the Wireless networks tab then in preferred networks select the home hub connection and remove it. Prob best to then reboot and start again

How to connect apple tv to xfinity wireless

I am trying to connect my apple tv to xfinity wireless Internet connection. I am using my old first generation I pad going to settings> general> network don't seem to help any suggestions as to how I can connect.

You have to use the bundled remote to navigate the Apple TV and its settings to set up the network.

Self assigned ip and can't connect wirelessly on any apple device

Man oh man... this issue has been festering for almost an entire year now and I have not found a solution. Last August (2009) my macbook stopped wirelessly connecting to my ATT 2WIRE dsl modem saying it had a self assigned ip address. I bought the computer in July and could connect with no issues for about a month. Ever since then, I've been connected via ethernet with slow connection. At the same time, the 2 iPhones in our household also could not connect wirelessly. One G5 could connect wirelessly but was extremely weak and often dropped the signal.
I did tons of research and found zillions of other people with this issue and no resolution. I've tried every solution on macrumors, and apple discussions with no results... I've disabled firewall, renewed DHCP, tried DHCP manual (which then changes the status to say I'm connected, but nothing works in my browser), restarted, etc. At work, I can connect to our Linksys router wirelessly with no issues. When my friends come over, their macbooks and iPhones don't work either!
Originally I thought the issue was my modem so I ordered another one. Same issue. Just this week I was at my wits end and cancelled my service with ATT and switched to Clear. I acquired a Linksys router to connect to the Clear Modem and I'm STILL having this issue. The difference is now that my iPhone can connect wirelessly but my macbook still cannot. The router is a Linksys WRT51ab. My macbook pro is on version 10.5.8. I can only assume that some kind of update to airport is causing the problem. As of now, my IPv4 address is: 169.254.111.225
Please someone help me! I promise some kind of reward if you can help me fix this.

Based on the model number, your Linksys router is OLD.
I'd actually suspect that your router has been the problem.
You can download the full user manual here --> http://homedownloads.cisco.com/downloads/wrt51ab_ug.pdf
I don't know if you ever secured your wireless router or renamed it from the factory defaults.
If it your Linksys wireless router is not password secured, it's possible that someone else changed settings about the time things stopped connecting.
Regardless, you can completely reset the Linksys to the factory defaults by holding down the Reset button on the Linksys for more than 10 seconds.
Do that first.
Then see if things 'magically' start connecting again. I'm guessing the phones will connect, but the Mac still won't, because of the IP address in the current configuration.
If not, here's how to configure your Mac network settings.
On your Mac, in System Preferences, Internet and Network, Network,
Click on Location, Edit Location
Click the + sign to create a new location called '_test'
(The underscore before the name will put it at the top of your Locations list where it's easy to find)
Select Ethernet (wired)
First, we'll let DHCP try to set the address.
Click Apply.
Move the selection back to Ethernet, and watch the Status.
If it shows Connected and IP address appears after a few moments, at least the WIRED configuration is working.
Now IF the Wired configuration works, lets move on to the wireless configuration...
(If the Wired configuration is still not working, post back and we'll work through it.)
Still in System Preferences, Internet and Network, Network, with the _test location you just created...
Select the AirPort interface in the left column.
Turn AirPort On.
If no Network Name appears, click on the up/down button and select Join Other Network and select your Linksys router name.
Click 'Apply'.
Leave DHCP settings alone and watch the Status to see if it connects.
Let me know what happens!

Can I use airport express to create a local wireless network that my apple tv can connect to for AirPlay/mirroring in student halls/dorm without Internet connection

Hi I was wondering :
Would I be able to make a local wireless network using airport express that my apple tv can connect to which in turn is connected to a projector with hdmi in so that I can mirror/AirPlay from iPhone pad and mac

will the Airport Express allow you to log onto a hotel wireless network, and broadcast a secure wireless network in your room for your wireless devices, like the Ipad, Iphone, etc.?
The bottom line with a single AirPort Express is no.
The AirPort Express can only "extend" a wireless network when the network is being provided by another Apple router.
As you might imagine, it is extremely unlikely that that the hotel network....which no doubt uses professional wireless access points provided by a manufacturer of commercial systems.....would be compatible with an AirPort Express.
In many years of travel domestically and internationally, I cannot recall a time when a single AirPort Express would "extend" the signal provided by a hotel's wireless network.
However, if you had two AirPort Express devices handy, you might be able to configure one to "join" the hotel network and provide an Ethernet signal to the second AirPort Express, which would be configured to "create" your own "private" wireless network.

Hi there can anyone help me out. I have Apple TV and I am trying to connect wirelessly through a zyxel wireless hotspot gateway, I know a tad extreme but a friend had one free, anyway I can find the router but no Internet connection?

The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

HT201343 I have a Mac pro with osx ml in a Ethernet connection and a apple tv with a wireless, there is no way I can see the airplay in my Mac pro

I have a Mac pro with osx ml in a Ethernet connection and a apple tv with a wireless, there is no way I can see the airplay in my Mac pro

Mac Pros don't support Airplay. Only some post 2011 Macs do, MAc Pros aren't amongst them.

You could try Airparrot software as a workaround.

I want to buy a sound bar for my tv but want one that connects wirelessly to my apple tv, all the sound bars i have looked at do not mention this any recomendations ?

I want to buy a sound bar for my samsung tv that connects wirelessly to my apple tv so that i can listen to music through the sound bar. Are there any sound bars out there that can do this ?

I do believe that the ability for your Apple TV to airplay audio to external devices was added just in the most recent update, that was released when iOS 6 was released if I'm correct, so there might not be any that specifically mention that yet.
Since it uses AirPlay I'd assume any AirPlay compatible speaker would work, but I would look into it more before spending your money, just in case.

HT4437 I have followed all relevant steps, my iPhone5 and apple TV are connected to the same wireless network, but I still cannot use airplay. When I choose the airplay option on my phone, the only option I get is "iPhone"

Welcome to the Apple Community Willy.
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. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.
