HT2822 Network Cable not overriding WiFi connection on Apple TV

I prefer to use the network cable so when I plug in the cable, the Apple TV continues to uses the WiFi radio. I would simply disable WiFi on the Apple TV but that's not possible. I guess I can erase the WiFi settings and password.
Am i doing something wrong

If you have stable wifi with good connectivity it should work fine - in reality many people struggle with wifi.
I was plagued by interference issues with wifi whenever the microwave was used and would always use ethernet now as my first preference for stability.
As the house is not wired for ethernet several years ago I tried mains powerline network adapters that are made by many companies.
I use these from Devolo currently:

They are excellent and you can create a wired network in minutes without running long lengths of cable.
As with wifi they never achieve the highest rated speeds and are dependent on the wiring quality but are more than adequate for HD streaming to multiple AppleTVs.
Many other manufacturers produce these eg Belkin, Netgear etc as well as lesser known brands.

  • HT201415 My iPhone is not having wifi connection anywhere

    My iPhone is not having wifi connection anywhere

    Hi PamelaVR,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I recommend starting with these troubleshooting steps if your iPhone battery is not behaving as you'd expect:
    Battery does not charge
    Verify that the outlet being used is working.
    Try another USB power adapter if available.
    If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
    Try another USB cable if available.
    iPhone or iPod touch displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive
    If you see the image below, charge the iPhone or iPod touch with USB power adapter for at least 15 minutes.
    You should see this image when iPhone or iPod touch begins to charge:
    If the screen still displays the low-battery icon, try turning the iPhone or iPod touch off and then on again.
    If the issue persists, follow these troubleshooting steps.

    Hello shreejith786
    The iPhone does not transfer music and videos via Bluetooth. To move content from one iPhone to another, you will need iTunes or iCloud handle that. If you have purchased content from the iTunes Store, you can download them directly. The articles below will assist with getting your media to your other iPhone.

  • Cable TV Remote to connect to Apple TV

    I am trying to use my SHAW Cable TV Remote to connect to Apple TV.  Have been able to "learn" the up, down, etc buttons but then it asks for the MENU button...the menu button beside the Settings button on the remote doesn't connect.  Any other suggestions as to what Cable Button they are asking for?

    I set the Audio button on my Shaw remote to a device I don't have, in my case I used the code for JBL audio 1306.  I then went into the Apple TV and learned the up down left right & select, menu was set to menu.  All works well, I don't have any strange things happening when I use my Apple TV (controller cross talk) but if you are a higher end user than me, and have JBL hardware, then just search for a brand you don't own.  That should do it.

  • MSI z87-G45 GAMING Killer Nic e2200 Network Cable Not Connected?

    I keep receiving this error on my PC roughly once per day.  Most times it takes a complete computer restart and then waiting some time before resolving.  It will happen at random intervals, sometimes lasting for over an hour.
    Does anyone have a solution to this issue?  For reference, I have already tried wiping the Qualcom software and installing JUST the driver, which was found on this forum in another post.
    Thanks in advance!

    Well my issue was the cable, but I researched this a lot when I was having problems.
    What does the cmd window say when you try to ping?
    I tried the following when I had issues.....
    1. install new firmware, must make sure that windows firewall and security firewalls are completely turned off. The firmware states that there is a known compatibility issue with firewalls.
    2. Try a static ip with google dns.
    3. disable IP6, you will have to find a thread on this cause just unchecking it in the properties window doesn't disable it.
    4. ip refresh/renew
    5. Programs like peerblock can affect it. Do you have any VPNs?
    6. I did a bios update too.
    It's funny cause I was just having "general failure" issues and the first comment from Svet is to try a high quality network cable cause that was the solution to my problem.

  • IPhone 4 - Not saving Wifi connections at work (WPA Enterprise).  Help!

    Hi everyone
    I have an iPhone 4. I have no problem with my phone automatically connecting to my wireless network at home. When I go to work, my IT department gave me the network name, security, etc to connect to the company's wifi network. It connects rather quickly when I enter in the settings. When I turn the phone off and turn it back on again, it will not connect to the wireless network and does not "remember" the settings I have put it. Has anyone had this problem? Any recommendations?

  • Have done all the trouble shooting connection but my iPad still can not get wifi connection

    i have done all the trouble shooting connection but mu iPAd still can not get wifi connection

    Hi Jo,
    Each router is a little different but here are the basics: login to the router using the administrator account, should have that info from the installer, and then you should find something like security settings, or it may be advanced security.  There will be a setting to the effect of limiting access, or it may say allow Mac address authentication, or admit the Mac addresses in the table...if that is switched on, you can just switch it off and that will allow any wireless device to attach.  If you want to keep it on, then you have to enter the Mac address for the device you want to use for access.  In the case of the iPad, go to Settings > General > About > WiFi Address (another way of saying Mac address).  Enter that very long sequence in the router's Mac address acceptance table and that should take care of things.
    Using the Mac address does not change any of the email settings, just limits attaching to the router in the first place.
    If you are already getting email, you must be attaching already so this should not be an issue.  If you are having email issues, such as receive but not send, you may not have the outgoing server set correctly: Settings > Mail > Account > Outgoing server name (usually an SMTP server) and you may have to go to the advanced settings to enter the outgoing password (normally the same as the account/incoming password) and then check to see if SSL is ON or OFF...most common email services say to set to OFF.

  • 5800: Java applications do not use Wifi connection

    Using my 5800 phone, Java applications (e.g. Opera Mini)  always use a 3G connection despite Wifi is available.
    When I moved the 3G access point to another section under 'Destinations' in my connectivity setup, so I left 
    only Wifi connections in my 'Internet' section, Java applications do not connect to the internet anymore.
    I want to let me select preferably Wifi when available.
    Other applications (Web, Google Maps) work correctly.
    Any ideas on this ?
    Nokia 5800
    FW 30.0.011

    The only java app that I had that issue with was opera mini.
    Solved it by doing this:
    Menu > Settings > Application Mgr. > Installed Apps. > Select "Opera Mini" > Options > Suite Settings > Access Point 
    I then selected my wireless router.
    Soon after I decided that opera mini was more trouble than it's worth due the sites that didn't work properly and switched back to the standard browser.
    The setting above should work for other java apps that don't behave too, each app retains it's own individual settings.

  • Galaxy Note Edge Wifi Connection keeps dropping off

    My wifi connections keeps disconnecting even after many attempts to login and getting connected on my home wifi it disconnects within a few seconds. Checked my modem and router and all is good (up to date firmware) and no connection issues on other devices. I verified my Edge is up to date as well. I am at a loss as to why it keeps auto disconnecting from my wifi. I tested tethering to my other cell phone and it stayed connected to it. So where do I go from here?

    Cesmenow,
    Thanks for reaching out to us. We can assist you. To confirm, this is only happening on your home wi-fi connection or do you also experience it with all wi-fi's?
    We can try a couple of troubleshooting steps to resolve this: First, try resetting the app preferences by going to Settings>General>Application manager>Applications then press Settings>Reset app preferences. Tell us if this helps.
    If not, then please run your device in Safe Mode - http://tinyurl.com/oo54noe and try again. This turns off all 3rd party apps. Tell us if it helps. 
    Thank you,

  • No Wifi connection to Apple TV (2nd gen)

    My Setup: Apple TV connected by ethernet to a Sonicwall TZ 210 wireless router; Dell XPS running Windows 7 Ultimate. The Apple TV is connected via HDMI to my Pioneer SC-37 which is connected to my Panasonic TV. My wireless network is running WPA-PSK - TKIP security protocol. I do not want to lower this security standard any lower.
    When connected using my LAN from my PC to my Sonicwall Router everything works perfectly. When I use my laptop PC wirelessly I loose connectivity with Apple TV and my iTunes. I spent a few hours with tech support from Sonicwall trying to resolve this issue unsuccessfully.
    Has anyone had a similar issue they were able to fix? I welcome suggestions.

    I suspect that since you are using a security protocol that is not natively recognized by ATV that you may have a situation where your WiFi LAN can't talk to ATV via the router. ATV? Apple doesn't get more complex than WPA2 and WPA2 Enterprise. If a reset of the ATV, or connecting it wirelessly...which works flawlessly for me doesn't work you might try on other thing, try an AC ethernet dongle like I use for my regular TV....... (Belkin, Best Buy and others) for ethernet connection of the ATV directly to your router, or call Apple Support before your time runs out. You could consider an Apple Extreme router since it is natively compatible...... I use this because i can set it not to broadcast the network name which i feel is the ultimate security and will work in combination with other protocols. Hope this helps.
