HT2822 Apple TV wired connection

I plugged my an ethernet cable from my Airport Extreme to my Apple TV but it won't recognize it, only allowing me to connect through wifi. It was working fine since I bought it last week. Any ideas on what may be going on? Thanks.

Yes. I moved my Airport Extreme to another room and connected my Apple TV directly to the ethernet cable.

Airplay only works whenever Apple TV is connected through wired connection

Hello,
I got a Apple TV for christmas, however i can't seem to get it working properly with airplay with my ipad mini or iphone.
If i use a wired connection the airplay icon shows up on my ipad and iphone just fine, but if i use the wireless connection
the airplay icon just won't show up, but Apple TV got internet and full signal.
I've use this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4215 troubleshoot and tried to find others with the same problem with no luck.
It's the same network they are connected to, they both have internet, but no airplay.
I hope anyone can help me fix this, since i only got 1 internet connection in each room, which in this room is used by a computer.
Thank you in advance.

Have been on Apple products since Apple 2 euro plus in 1982. Apple TV is strictly a wired product if you want a consistent and reliable product. Safe to treat it as a Beta product.

Why does apple tv 2 lose connection with netgear router through a wired connection?

I have Apple TV 2 connected to a Netgear wnder3700 through a wired connection. The Apple TV is up-to-date. However, from day 1 (before firmware updates and currently) apple tv will lose internet connection. All other devices on the network remain connected. the only solution is to physically unplug the the apple tv and let it reconnect on reboot. Same issue exists on a wireless connection.

I would update the firmware of the router

Apple Airprint to HP Officejet 6500A Plus via Wired Connection to Router

Hi There,
So I've done a considerable amount of research into this across the internet and this forum and I'm still struggling to find a satisfactory solution.
I have an HP Officejet 6500A Plus connected by ethernet into my BT Homehub 3.
It is my understanding that even though this is a wired connection, as long as my iOS device (iPad 2 or iPhone 5) is connected to the same router, I should still be able to see this Officejet over through the airprint facility.
Unfortunately this is not the case. I only get the "No Airprint Printers Found" message on both devices. The only way I have managed to get my Mac Pro (Mavericks) to connect was to mannualy add using the IP address for the printer.
Can anyone give any guidance as to what I might be doing wrong? The printer is definitely connecting to the internet as I can print from my iOS devices using HP ePrint app for iOS.
Some might say well what is the problem, just use the HP app but this is not point. I believe if something has been implemented to make things easier then use it. I chose this printer specifically for this functionality so it's a little frustrating to find it so difficult to achieve the desired results.
Hope it's something straightforward and someone can help.
Thanks,
Steve
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Further to this request, and reading many more similar issues, I think I may resolved this.
I am not 100% sure but I have read some threads suggesting there are issues around BT's Homehub 3 and bonjour so this may be an issue.
I have tried the following over the past couple of days...
1) Completely reset my router (wiped all settings and started again) - No luck!
2) Tried changing from WPA2 to just WPA security - No luck!
3) Tried forwarding the bonjour ports to the printer - No luck!
4) Switched off router, printer and all iOS devices then powered back router, printer and then iOS devices - Printer appears on iOS devices but when print was selected, iOS device repeatedly returned Printer Not Connected error.
Finally, what seems to have done it (at least for now) was...
1) Unplugged ethernet from the Officejet and set it up as Wireless connection.
2) Powered down router, printer and all iOS devices then powered back up in the order stated earlier.
3) So far I have tried printing an email and a web page from my iOS devices and both have been sucessful.
Incidentally I had been struggling also to airplay from my iPhone and iPad until I started messing around with settings above and now this issue also seems to be resolved.
Due to variety of combinations (different printers, routers etc) people will have, it seems to be quite difficult to find a solution which addresses an individual problem however I hope some of my experimenting and findings might help others in some way.

HT2822 Apple TV connection : xfinity hot spot?

is there a way to connect my ATV to the xfinity hot spot? It says connected but it doesn't redirect me to log on to xfinity. So my screen only shows settings box and computers box

a computer could connect to the hot spot and if the computer was set to share it's internet then maybe the Apple TV could connect to the computer

HT2822 apple tv won't stay connected

It is difficult to connect to my network. Once connected, it doesn't stay connected.

Answers can only be as helpful as the details provided. And in this case none were give. What is happening? Error message? Other WiFi devices have issues? It is actually losing the connection or is your streaming content just freezing?
Trying to do streaming video over WiFi is not a great idea. Even if you are using the really high end WiFi hardware it will never be completely solid. You really want to use a wired connection for that.

One solution for Apple TV losing connection to its iTunes Library

In 2012 I bought an Apple TV3 to let me use the AirPlay features of my New iPad with my HD TV. All worked fine and still does. Later in 2012 I subscribed to Netflix and enjoyed streaming movies to my HD TV via the Apple TV. Having had such a good experience with it so far I bought another for our bedroom TV and another for a relative, hoping they would have the same great experience with it.
Both of my Apple TV units at my house have worked flawlessly since installing them. We can start watching a Netflix movie downstairs then go upstairs and carry on where the movie left off.
At my relative's house the experience was not so flawless and has resulted in about 2 months of frustration but happily their AppleTV3 is now also working as expected. It has been quite a journey to get to this point and had a surprising solution.
I am the 'go-to' person in my family for these things so I installed the Apple TV for my relative.
My relative has a Windows XP (SP3) PC running the latest iTunes (11.0.2), a BTHomeHub 2 router, connected by WiFi to the Apple TV. The PC was connected by ethernet cable to the router. I installed the Apple TV, set up the hdmi connection to the HD TV, connected it to the WiFi network, upgraded to the latest iTunes on the PC, added the Apple ID for Home Sharing to iTunes and the Apple TV and could connect to the iTunes library on the PC, all good so far. I could play video or music or podcast or view photos from the iTunes library on the PC but after a short time (a few minutes or so), if I tried to play a different video or music track the I would get the familiar spinning icon and the Apple TV would not play the media file. Often the Apple TV would still show the contents of the iTunes library but would not play anything from it. When it was in this state it was still possible to play iTunes Trailers or Purchased content or a Youtube video or display photos from my library. This proved it was still connected to the internet and to some extent my library on the PC because it could display photos.
Initially I thought it was a WiFi problem as that was how the Apple TV was connected to the router. So as I already had a Powerline ethernet link running from the router to the TV for the Humax Freeview box for the BBC iPlayer, I ordered a small network switch to share the Powerline ethernet cable with the Apple TV. However the same drooping connection problems were apparent. I tried changing the QoS settings on the Powerline link, tried to prioritise TCP or UDP or both , but no improvement. I decided to abandon the Powerline link in case it was 'too slow', perhaps that was the issue.
I tried one of the Apple TV units from my house, where they were working fine and I got the same problem, at my relative's house it behaved like their unit, it would connect play a movie (all the way through if we let it) but after a few minutes if trying to play something else it would not play anything further. I tried their Apple TV at my house and it worked there, so the unit was not at fault.
At various times while troubleshooting these problems I have unistalled iTunes, reinstalled it, uninstalled Bonjour, reinstalled it (it comes with iTunes), searched the registry and cleaned it (Warning: do this at your own risk as you risk destabilising Windows), I have tried disabling my firewall on the PC and/or on the router, uninstalled the Antivirus / Firewall software (Norton) on the PC, I have added the Ports required for the Apple TV to my router and firewall software, I have read many, many forum posts about what has worked for other people and I tried them all in various combinations.
I decided having tried the above that the problem must be the Windows PC, so I swapped it for a few days with a laptop, connected wirelessly to the router. I had an iTunes library on the laptop so I shared it with the Apple TV and stopped iTunes running on my relative's PC. For a few days it actually worked, the Apple TV would play one movie/music track and I could select another and play it after a few minutes, a partial solution had been found except the laptop was needed elsewhere and I wanted the Windows PC to be the source for the iTunes library. I briefly considered suggesting they should buy a modern PC or Mac as their Windows PC was around 9 years old, may be that was the problem? This would have cost around £400+ and was out of the question. Fortunately I had a spare PC and I decided to swap it with the Windows PC, it was only a couple of years old and as such it must be 'better' I thought. Swapping one PC with another and transferring e-mails and documents etc. took quite a few hours but it was done. I uninstalled iTunes, reinstalled it and set up the home sharing again. This second Windows PC was running XP (SP3) and Norton 360 Firewall/Anitvirus software. I checked that after installing iTunes the Program rules in Norton were allowing the TCP and UDP communications expected by the Apple TV, I noted these were not specific ports but all TCP and all UDP communications were allowed. All of this met the recommendations that other posts had suggested. I tried it with the Apple TV but no, exactly the same problem, the iTunes library could not be found after a few minutes.
I found that if I restarted the Apple TV it would connect and play a file (movie/music etc) but if I played an iTunes trailer or just waited a minute or so then it would lose the connection. Another symptom would be when I landed on the 'Compters' icon it would tell me to 'enable home sharing on the PC with this Apple ID' , which I had already done.
If I tried playing via the Apple TV while selecting tracks from within iTunes on the PC, then sometimes the AirPlay icon was present or not present, sometimes worked and would then always not work until I restarted at least iTunes and the Apple TV, if not also the router or PC, whatever I tried it would not result in a connection between the Apple TV and the PC that would survive more than a few moniutes at a time.
Having swapped the Windows PC hosting the iTunes library with another I swapped the Apple TV again with one from my house, again same behaviour. So this suggested the problem was the BTHomeHub router as that was the only bit of hardware not exchanged. I compared its settings with the same unit at my house, I tried forwarding ports, I tried chaging the security from the default 'WPA & WPA2' to WPA or WPA2, still no solution. I tried reducing the default WiFi connection protocol from 802b/g/n to 802/b/g. I tried variations of all the other possible settings that could be changed but in the end set them to match the ones at my house. Still no solution. I considered buying an Airport Extreme or similar to link that via an ethernet cable to the router and enable it to be the WiFi access point for the Apple TV. This would have cost around £80 similar to the cost of the Apple TV itself, so was also dismissed as an idea.
I decided to restore the router to factory settings, this was done and I set up the WiFi connection again to the Apple TV, still no solution, same behaviour on the Apple TV. I decided it must be a problem with the WiFi so I tried a direct ethernet cable trailed through the house from the router to the Apple TV to eliminate the WiFi involvement, that would have to be the answer, wouldn't it? No, same problem.
I discovered some useful diagnostics along the way that are somewhat techie but worth persevering with as they could be useful for diagnosing what the problem could be. Find out on your router what the IP Address is for your computer that is hosting your iTunes library and the IP Address for your Apple TV. The IP address is essential for either device to connect with each other or the internet. The Apple TV IP address can be seen via Settings/General/Network, it has the form like '192.168.1.69' and for the PC it was '192.168.1.80', the values don't have a particular significance but the last digits after the 3rd dot will be different for each device.
On the PC (or Mac), open a Command (PC) or Terminal(Mac) prompt and try to 'ping' the Apple TV to see if you get a response
e.g.
c:\ping 192.168.1.69
or
c:\ping apple-tv
You should get a response indicating the number of milliseconds it takes for the 'ping' to be returned to the PC from the Apple TV , this will show that the PC can connect to the Apple TV, if it does not get a response then you should check that the PC and Apple TV are connected to the same network (either wired or wifi). You must be able to get a successful ping for the connection between the PC and the Apple TV to work at all.
Another diagnostic is to check the network status on the PC (or Mac)
e.g.
c:\netstat -an
This will show all the current TCP/UDP connections and also the local and remote IP addresses and ports. Look for the IP address of the Apple TV in the third column, there will be many rows returned so just concentrate on the rows with the IP addressses of the PC and the Apple TV
e.g. look for rows like the following:
TCP 192.169.1.80:3689 192.168.1.69:49123 ESTABLISHED
UDP 192.168.1.80:5353 *.*
UDP *.123 *.*
TCP Port 3689 is used by the Apple TV to communicate with iTunes for playing content. This connection is essential, there may be more than one 'established' connection to the remote Apple TV from the local PC.
UDP Port 5353 is used by the Apple Bonjour service to send multicast communications between iTunes and any iOS devices on the same network, such as the Apple TV, again it is essential.
Port 123 is used by Apple products to obtain the date and time, the UDP row above shows that any local IP Address can communicate with any remote IP address on the router's network and provide it with date and time information.
If your firewall software on the PC is blocking any of these ports then the 'netstat' command is useful to see if you need to unblock any. In my experience, this port unblocking was not necessary as when I installed iTunes, the Norton software automatically set up appropriate rules for the iTunes program, and opened the required TCP and UDP communications as iTunes needed.
Likewise, on the router itself, I have the UPnP setting enabled and this allows software like iTunes and Bonjour to traverse the router's firewall without it being necesssary to explicitly set the ports to be forwarded.
If I started the Apple TV, and ran the 'netstat -an' command over the next few minutes I could see the number of rows for the Apple TV diminish, and this was a symptom of the dropping connection problem.
Ultimately having replaced the Apple TV with another 'working' one , swapped the PC, restored the router to factory defaults, disabled the Windows or Norton firewall, tried ethernet and WiFi connection between the router and Apple TV it struck me that the only component I had not considered was the insignificant ethernet cable linking the PC to the router. This has been present since the router was installed for the original PC around 4 years ago. But surely this was how the original PC and the swapped in PC were getting to the internet quite normally and successfully? Also this was how the Apple TV was accessing the PC via WiFi then via the router through this ethernet cable, there was no way it could be the cable, cables don't allow a connection for a short time and then cause a timeout can they?. Thus, confused, and with all other avenues explored, I removed the cable between the PC and the router and enabled a WiFi connection from the PC to the router. After restarting the PC, Router and Apple TV, just to be sure, I tried the Apple TV again.
I could play some music on the Apple TV from the iTunes library, I could play it for a minute or so and then go to movies and play a movie from the iTunes library. I tried to play an iTunes trailer, some YouTube videos, these worked as usual. I then went back to the library and yes, I could play another music track or another movie. I forced the Apple TV to 'sleep' via Settings/General/Sleep Now and tried again, I woke it up and could play any music or movie from the library. Elated, I went out for meal with the family, nervously hoping throughout the meal that the solution had been found. After a couple of hours we returned, woke up the Apple TV and yes, oh yes!, it would connect with the library and play a succession of music or videos without seeing any dropped connections. Several hours later I could wake up the Apple TV again and select any content from the iTunes library on the PC and play it, finally the unit is behaving as I would expect.
This solution may not apply for all, but it worth following all of the components in the path between the Apple TV, router, computer (either PC or Mac) and the iTunes library and checking that each is able to commmunicate successfully and over a period of time reliably so that the Apple TV can perform as flawlessly as it is capable of.
Don't, as I did expect the solution to involve a complicated series of special settings of ports or communications protocol changes. Do perform a clean install of iTunes and keep it updated, do keep Firewall settings simple and let the settings be default settings, do rely on UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) on the router. Let the router select which channel it wants to use, it will select the channel with least interference...and check out that insignificant ethernet cable if you have one. It might work fine for general communications from the computer to router to the internet but it can be a source of connections dropping on the Apple TV!
My relative is now a happy Apple TV user too.

Useful to watch what is happening to the TCP/UDP connections when the Apple TV is connected to iTunes and when it is actually playing some media from iTunes and when it stops playing.
To see this, use the Network Statistics command 'netstat' from a Command prompt (Windows PC) / Terminal Window (Mac):
e.g. for Windows:
c:\netstat -an 5
This repeats the netstat command every 5 seconds, use Ctrl-C to quit the command. (Use 'netstat -h' for help with this command)
While iTunes is running there will be a number of TCP records displayed for the computer's IP address using port 3689, showing at least 3 ports in use for the Apple TV's IP address.
i.e.
TCP host_ip:3689 apple_tv_ip:49187 ESTABLISHED
TCP host_ip:3689 apple_tv_ip:49196 ESTABLISHED
TCP host_ip:3689 apple_tv_ip:49255 ESTABLISHED
When it is playing content there are more connections established, some of these rows will gradually disappear when the media file stops playing. These addional TCP records show iTunes using different ports from 3689, but only while media files are being played.
When a video file is played, (on this Windows PC at least) the iTunes host is using ports 4463 and 4464, with the Apple TV using port 7000. When playing a music track or podcast, the iTunes host is using port 4472 or 4489 and the Apple TV is using port 5000.
When the media is playing, the fourth column returned by the 'netstat -an 5' command : 'State' shows as 'ESTABLISHED' and shortly after the media file is stopped playing it shows as 'TIME_WAIT' until the record disappears after a minute or so.

Can i use the apple tv3 to connect a blu-ray player to the internet through the ethernet port?

I Have a blu-ray player which can access teh internet but only through a wired connection. Unfortunately, do to some renovating a can't really pass a wire from my router to the player. I was thinking of getting the express base station and hooking up an ethernet cable and getting it to connect that wy. However, for just an extra 10$ i can get teh apple tv and started to wonder if it would do the same.
Anybody know if i connect an an ethernet cable between my blu-ray player and apple tv3 if it will be able to connect to the internet?
Thanks for you help!

Your blu-ray play can't play to your AppleTV, neither using a wired connection or wi-fi.
AppleTV only support compressed format. Therefore, your AppleTV require your content to be within your iTunes library and on the supported format; http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html
There are however wireless devices on which you can plug an HDMI cable. I don't know the price of such wireless devices but you'll find them on the net.

Can I use the Airport Express to connect to a Linksys Wireless Network and then use the Ethernet port on the Airport for a wired connection to a device for internet access? Would I be able to then also use that Ethernet pt to a Ntwk Hub for more wired c

Thanks for the help. Looked but not clear on what I am trying to do as being possible. Can I use an Airport Express to connect wireless to a Linksys Wireless Router, such that I can then use the Ethernet ports on the Airport to either connected to a PC wired, or even use a hub off the Airport Express to allow multiple wired connections to it?
I am not looking to have the Airport Express extend my wireless network, just connect to it and provide me wired connections in a different location from where my Linksys Route is located. Would prefer to replace Linksys with all Apple, but just not possible financially yet. Thanks for the help.

If the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is an 802.11n model, then yes, you can reconfigure it as a wireless Ethernet bridge. In this configuration, the AX would join the wireless network provided by the Linksys router and its Ethernet port would be enabled for either a single wired device or for an Ethernet hub or switch for multiple devices.

Wired Connection Set Up

Just bought an Apple TV and want to set it up via a wired connection. I have my PC connected directly to my modem so do I have to also connect my ATV directly to my modem OR can I connect it to my PC. Thanks in advance guys, any help with this will be very much appreciated

You'd connect it to the modem via ethernet (or wifi).
If your PC had a spare ethernet port you could connect but would end up having to configure things like internet sharing, and the PC woudl need to be always on for internet access on AppleTV.
It's designed to run standalone with internet content or to play local media from iTunes when PC running.

Apple TV "not connected to the internet" when woken up

Hi,
So my Apple TV works fine... Except that every time I wake it up after a long time of being in standby or simply not in use, it tells me it's "not connected to the internet". This is really strange because it IS connected-- even when I wake it up to find that message, I can go on itunes in it, watch podcasts and youtube and basically do everything online. It also HAS downloaded TV shows automatically that I have passes for. Yet every morning when I start using it, I see that message. I usually only see it in the morning after it's not used all night... I don't think I've ever seen it during the day after it's not being used for only a few hours.
What could this mean?

I am also having this problem. It only started happening after I switched from a wired connection to my dsl router to a wireless connection. The message is not there every morning, only maybe 25% of the time. I leave my ATV on all the time, so it is not an issue with standby.
In spite of the message everything works fine - movie trailers, youtube, etc, so it is a minor issue for me at the moment.
I have yet to try buying and downloading a movie, I am wondering if it's overnight download could be interrupted by this problem...

HP Color LaserJet CP2025dn Printer Wired Connectivity and have USB simultaneously?

Hello to all;
Thank you in advance.
I have a HP Color LaserJet CP2025dn Printer.
The question, can I use ethernet connection and have USB simultaneously? Ethernet is faster, right?
Currently, I have the printer connected to network via Ethernet Wired Connectivity through an Apple Aiirport Extreme base station. I have several Mac's all operating under 10.9.1, and two PC's (one is WIN XP, and the other WIN 8.1), which all operate fine with 2008 wired/wireless technology. I know what a dinosour. I am in the process of upgrading the household to current wireless technology with a NetGear AC1900 Nighthawk Smart WiFi Router (Model: R7000), 802.11ac Dual Band Gigabit, with two USB ports ((1) 2.0 and (1) 3.0) . I connected the printer directly into the Netgrar router, and it wouldn't print, ran setup through the Mac and Win computers and still wouldnt pring. One of the reasons that sold me on the Netgear router was the ReadySHARE® USB access—Wirelessly access & share. In order for me to utilize the ReadySHARE® feature is to connect via a USB cable. Sob story, the longest USB cable off the shelf usually 16", and to reach where the printer is now, I need @25-28 feet of cable. Is ther a maximum length of USB that I can use with out suffering loss of speed/functionality?
Again thank you for your time

I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/

Apple TV3 dropping connection from iTunes...

Hi there,
I've read a lot of issues on the same thing but I wonder if anyone is having the same issue as me.
Thinking it was a hardware problem I secured a replacement from the store but I'm having the same issue.
I have a PC, Windows 8
BT Infinity (with their home hub, I'm UK based)
My Apple TV is wired directly to the hub (I have also adjusted the settings to give the Apple static IP addresses, I've also tried it with automatic IP)
If I boot everything up from scratch the Apple TV will play both music and my movies (both my DVD rips and those purchased from iTunes store and downloaded to the PC).
However, let's say when I've done the above I decide to watch a movie that is on the PC, it works and I can watch the full film or even a TV program. Then I decide I want to watch another film after viewing that one, that's when I get the spinning wheel. The Apple TV will recognise my iTunes library and display the movies but unless I watch something on the cloud I cannot view what's on my PC hard drive. Then after a bit the Apple is telling me to turn on home sharing. It already is on and my PC has no sleep settings activated, I turned them all off so unless I power down nothing will enter sleep mode or even powersave.
I then have to reboot the PC and open iTunes again.
Like I mentioned I've taken the first one back for an exchange, the same problem persists. I've also been on the phone to Apple who advised to power everything down for 5 minutes then turn the router back on followed by the Apple then the PC. That worked, so I then left it for 5 minutes and then the problem happened again when I decided to watch a film that I put on my PC hard drive. It seems that I have to choose what I want to do quickly but it wont work with further requests after something is played.
I am using the inbuilt virus checker that comes with Win 8 (Elements I think it's called) and I use Windows Firewall. I have tried creating a rule to allow iTunes to connect out on the firewall settings but this did nothing. I've tired automatic IP addresses and now trying static ones but again, no joy. Bonjour has been uninstalled, reinstalled, opened up connections in the firewall, basically everything I've read on this issue I've done.
I read somewhere about turning off the Dolby Stereo, and yes, you guessed it, nothing corrected it.
Has anyone had this problem exactly and any idea how to overcome it. Apple have suggested a clean reinstall of my PC, so I tried it, wiped everything and started again. Nothing, so I tried it on my laptop which has Windows 7 and it seems it's not localised to just one specific version of Windows.
Getting a bit fed up now!
As a last ditch attempt I also checked the serial number to see if it was an old unit that needed to be replaced but it's not. Oh, and I have also tried wireless and wired. That didn't change anything.
One interesting thing though, when looking at the settings for the BT Home Hub and looking at devices, when I know the Apple TV is connected it's showing as not connected. It appears as though it is dropping connection after it has perhaps synced the whole film from the PC. I can't think of a way to force it to stay connected.
Any suggestions?

UPDATE
This is now resolved, not with the use of the Homehub though.
After another conversation with Apple they asked me if the Youtube app on the TV works, which it does then there's a problem elsewhere! Therefore Apple think there's an issue with the hub or the home network. They also asked me to try something on the hub called Port Forwarding. However, because that the hub isn't an Apple product they are not allowed to advise me on tinkering with the settings. But did suggest to Google a website called port forwarding.
Having a look at that I tried what it suggested by connecting to the BT Homehub, you guessed it, that didn't work either. I called BT who advised that their technical help team that would deal with this has been disbanded and the person I spoke to gave me the port forwarding suggestion on Google.
At this stage I had had enough and after reading a few more bits of feedback I then looked at replacing the hub with something I could buy myself. This led me to Amazon where I purchased the ASUS RT-N56U and a modem to go with it. I ripped out the hub and linked the modem to the line in the wall and the router to the modem, I had to bridge the router to the modem and after that was done I set up the wireless.
I'm now very pleased to say that it works, everything is syncing as it should do and the speeds of my downloads have also increased. So far no issues at all. I also have a constant connection to the PC and can view as many films as I want that are downloaded to the PC. No lagging, no problems at all.
Bit of an expensive solution but the modem and router I bought can also replace a Virgin one should I change suppliers in the future.
If you follow this solution and are doing it the same with BT just Google the username for the hubs as it's the same for everyone, you can get that username from the hub if you connect to it but if you're like me and didn't think of that all the solutions you can google. I used the CD's that came with the items and I had it all set up and running in 5 minutes. If you do purchase the RT-N56U don't forget you need a modem, as that bit I forgot about and then had to order that via Amazon as well.
That's really all you need!

Can't connect by wired connection

I just moved into a new house, and ordered a fios connection through Surewest. I bought a LinkSys E3000 Wireless-N Router, and my iMac is connecting fine to the internet wirelessly...however I'm not getting anything when it's wired to the router.
In network settings it says "connected" in the ethernet section, yet if I turn "airport off" I can't load a single page (despite it saying the ethernet is "connected"). My router also shows that there's an active connection. So I connected the data cable directly from the port (the one that's inside the house, not on the router) to my computer, and I still had the same problem. I don't even know where to begin with, I'm not sure if it's a problem with my internet provider, my router, or my computer.

Hardwire the connection directly from your fios to the computer.
Go to the Network Pref Pane and go to Location > Edit.
Add a new location.
Click Apply at the bottom of the Network window.
Restart the computer.
Go back to the Network Pref Pane -- what is the IP address you have for your ethernet connection?
If you still don't have an internet connection and the IP address is valid (not 169 or 10 or 192) then power cycle your fios connection (if possible). I turn my modem off for at least 30 seconds if not 5 minutes.
If that doesn't take care of it, try your computer at a different hard wired connection (work, school, Apple Store, etc.). If it works some place else but not at home you may want to call Surewest to make sure they are not using provisioning / MAC Address filtering.
Hope that helps.

Apple TV loosing connection to TC.

My two Apple TVs cannot stay connected to the Time Capsule. Everything worked fine with the AEBS but the connection keeps getting lost with TC. The Apple TV shows that the network connection is fine but no internet connection is available (no itunes store and no Youtube). Once the connection is lost I have to reset the TC and start from scratch to get the reconnected. Any thoughts?

I am having major issues with TC and ATV. I just got home with my second TC (exchanged for new one assuming my first was a dud). My problem is that ATV will not stream video from itunes over the TC network. I haven't even set up TM on any computers, so it is not competing for bandwidth. I simply unplugged my APE, plugged in TC, connected computers and ATV to network - NO STREAMING. Usually get error code after long delay stating "The selected video could not be played" "format not recognized".
I can go back to the APE and immediately get it to work.
The interesting thing is the signal strength for the computer (which has the itunes account) is only 2 bars with TC, but 3-4 bars with APE. I am beginning to believe the TC simply doesn't have as strong a WIFI signal. I am going to check with a wired connection to the computer and re-try.
