My apple tv does not detect wireless router sitting next to it

I have my Apple TV sitting just few feet away from my router. It does not detect my router. So I added the IP addresses manually. Under Apple TV Network settings, it still says Ethernet. What can I do to get AppleTV to detect my Wireless rouer?

Did you unplug the ethernet from AppleTv not just the router? I've found even a non-terminated cable plugged in disables wifi.
Daft as it sounds, sometimes if the router is too close it can cause communication issues over wifi.
If ethernet was working, why change to wifi?
Can you confirm ethernet does still work and that AppleTV is not just 'stuck' in ethernet mode.
Unplugging was a good test as that often corrects issues.
It is possible your AppleTV software is somehow corrupted - restore via itunes using microUSB to eliminate that possibility, or that AppleTV hardware has failed and is 'stuck' thinking ethernet is connected.

WRTS4G, computers not detecting wireless router

On my main desktop I can connect to the internet (obviously), but when I try to detect the wireless router it doesn't detect it and my laptop won't connect either. Up until yesterday I've been connected with no problems at all.
I've reset the system, I've changed my pass phrase, I've unplugged, made sure cables are in, the only thing I haven't done is beat my wireless router with a hammer and I'm close.
It picks up a signal when I am looking for wireless and I connect with "limited connectivity".
Any insight would be appreciated!
Thanks!

It supposedly works and has no updates. I bought a new wireless router today, a Linksys WRT31ON, still the same exact problem.
The main desktop has internet somehow, but the other computers can only have a limited connectivity. I'm shelling out money for Geek Squad to come on Monday. Does Linksys not have 1-800 numbers????????

Airport does not detect wireless network; it says problem = [network]"connection timeout"

It is not a problem of signal strength, and my Airport detects other networks. It used to detect the network I want to connect to, for two years. It suddenly stopped detecting the network (which is WPA Personal password-protected). When I select choose other network and type in the password, it won't connect to it claiming "connection timeout."
This happened before. Then after several days, Airport was able to detect and connect to the network I want. Now it again won't detect the network, and this seems permanent short of taking measures to address the problem. Should I try connecting manually to the network, and hodo I got about that? Thank you to anyone out there ho might be able to help.

i have a macmini (OS 10.5) and use a belkin wireless router. When I turn on Mac address filtering on the router I have an Intermittent problem. The airport does not recognize the wireless network. On the network preferences panel there is a message that the airport is using a self assigned IP address. sometimes the message says the airport has no IP address. If I turn off the Mac address filtering and use a WAP password only the network is recognised and connects without a problem. How do I resolve this? I dont have the problem with a iBook using system 10.4. Is turning off the Mac address filtering secur?

MacBook pro does not detected wireless network?????

Hi! I have an airport express that provides the wireless network for the house. My iMac and iBook as well as iphone have no problem detecting the network. But the network does not show up in the drop down list that shows up when I turn the airport on. When I click on "other" and type in the information that way, the connection times out.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thx!

I have a similar problem. When I set the network to not be closed, My MacBook Pro finds and connects when I return from being away. When I set the network to be "closed", it will not connect automatically (I have checked "Remember and network this computer has joined" & "Remember this Network ") it will not join automatically. However, when I enter the name and password, it connects and all is well. My iPhone will automatically connect regardless of the "closed" being checked or not. Any suggestions? I would prefer to retain the "closed" setting for extra security.
Thanks,
Bruce

Laptop is not detecting wireless router

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Equipment:

I bought the laptop used and I upgraded it to WinXP SP2 and now it is not detecting any wireless nteworks. There doesn't appear to be an exteranl switch for the radio on the laptop. All drivers have been upgraded to their latest version. I was able to do this via a wired connection.
Help. Thanks.
Darrell-

Right Click on Intel Utility on the Tool-bar Try .... click use windows to configure the wireless settings ....
Go to start >> run >> type "services.msc" (without quotes) >> Under that list ... look for Wireless Zero Configuration >> Go to properties >> Use Start up type as Automatic .>> Click Apply & OK ....
Go to wireless network connections .... under view available wireless networks .... see if you are able to get your home network or not ...
Try to connect to it ....

Satellite 5200-903 does not detect Wireless Adapter

hello everybody,
I wonder if anyone can tip me on this one...
Since I reinstalled the OS ( have XP pro SP2 ) PC seems not detecting anymore the WIRELESS adapter in Device manager under Network Adapter.
Also the light of the wireless switcher does not turn on anymore.
I am also having problems to access the BIOS to check if the adapter is detected there, I do not have a Toshiba HW setup in Control Panel as indicated in the manual.
Any suggestions?

Hello Juliana
The question is how did you install the OS? If you use recovery CD all tools will be installed including Toshiba HW setup. If the unit is preinstalled with Microsoft WXP CD you must install all Toshiba stuff belatedly.
Just short explanation about WLAN card. Basically if the light of the wireless switcher does not turn on thats clearly indicate onto hardware problem. I assume that the WLAN card is defective. Check also if the card is listed in device manager.
If you want to enter BIOS settings pres ESC button at the boot up procedure and keep it down for a few seconds.
Bye

New Intel WIFI Wireless Network Adapter does not recognize Wireless Router

I have had a Linksys BEFW11S4 Version 4 Wireless router for quite some time. It works like a champ and I have one Laptop wired to it and a second using Wireless working just fine. Recently, I received a new ThinkPad W500 Laptop with an Intel WIFI Link 5100 AGN wireless network adapter. The older laptop that works just fine with the router uses a
11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Express Adapter by Atheros. However, the NEW laptop with the Intel Adapter fails to connect to the Router. It will either indicate a failure while "Waiting for Association" or it will indicate a failure when waiting to "renew IP Address". Sometimes, it will show a signal strength close to ZERO (Even as the older laptop with the other adapter is showing a signal strength close to 100%) When I called Linksys support, I was told that the facts that the Router (a) works find with the wired Laptop and (b) works fine with the 11a/b/g NEtwork Adapter and (c) works fine when WIRED to the new laptop all indicate that the problem is NOT with the router at all -- but with the Network Adapter. Can anyone tell me what has to be adjusted in the Adapter settings? Right now, I am using IBM Access Connections for BOTH of the wireless laptops. I have made sure to set IDENTICAL values for SSID and WEP (128-bit) [static] password. I have also ensured that all OTHER settings are the same for the two laptops. Yet, in one laptop, there is NO PROBLEM while in the other, I can not get the Wireless Adapter to "see" the signal from the Router. TO further check this, I have [temporarily] disabled the WEP password, enabled SSID broadcast, and disabled the MAC address restrictions that I put in (so that the system would be totally "open") yet the Intel Adapter STILL did not "find" anything. In addition, when I use the "Find WIFI" feature in Access Connections, I find that SOMETIMES the network with SSID is found and sometimes, it will display "unknown network" and not pick up the SSID.
This is all very frustrating. If anyone has experience with the Intel WIFI Link 5100 AGN Adapter, I would appreciate any hints, tricks, ideas, etc.
Think you!!!!
--Zvi

I installed the LATEST version of IBM Access Connections as well as verifying that I have teh LATEST drivers for the Intel Wireless NEtwork Adapter.
What now happens is that I am able to authenticate to the Router. However, I get a failure on "renewing IP Address" -- which [according to the diagnostic message] means that the Rotuer fails to provide me with an IP address to use. Do you have any suggestions?

What Mac OS X do you have? ICloud requires 10.7.2 or higher. Then the iCloud icon is in System Preferences.

AirPort does not detect networks, unless another network connection is made

I've just done a clean install of OS 10.5 to see if this problem was software related, but it persists.
AirPort does not detect any network the computer is near (tested in various locations) normally, but when connecting to a network via Ethernet or to another Mac via Firewire to use network sharing, it can update and load web pages as normal. A strange quirk I've noticed though, whenever connecting with ethernet or firewire, AirPort will suddenly detect the network! It still can't quite connect to WiFi properly though. While still connected through firewire or ethernet, it will have no connectivity through a self-assigned IP. If it is disconnected from ethernet and firewire again, the wireless network will still show up in a re-scan for networks but it will fail to connect.
I've opened the computer up to ensure that the airport extreme card is seated properly as well, and that the antenna cable is secured properly.
Any ideas as to what the issue is? Should I look into replacing the AirPort Extreme card?

Got no answer on my original post, so I went ahead with ordering a replacement AirPort card on eBay (item #130487488014). Once installed, the iMac was able to detect and connect to networks normally... but was still unable to load any web pages. I tried on secured and unsecured networks as I did previously, and plugging directly into the router and into my Macbook Pro via firewire, with the same results as before. Safari loads pages when connected with an ethernet or firewire cable, but will not load pages on WiFi alone. I can attempt to access a router setup page via WiFi, and am prompted for a username/password, but the page itself never manages to load.
Any clues as to what may be going on here?!

Easylink does not detect internet connection

Please help. I have a wireless G broadband router model wrt54g. I've had it for about a year in a half and used it maybe twice. I just ran the setup and got an error saying easylink does not detect your internet connection. I went on line to make sure I was connected and followed the steps to resolve this issue. I got a message saying congratulations your router was configured succesfully but you are not yet connected to the internet. I went online to try and get help with this issue and downloaded firmware. My comptuer won't even allow me to run the download, it just does nothing when I click on it. Could someone please advise me as to how to get this router to detect my internet connection. Thanks

My Apple TV does not work and has never worked.

My Apple TV does not work and has never worked. I replaced it twice and replaced my router and DSL modem but no luck. I spent hours on tech support with both apple and my ISPs with no luck. Any ideas? Is the Apple TV a donation to apple? I have had the device for 8 months but it will not work for longer than 15 minutes before it drops with network errors. All of my other devices work perfectly on the network including 2 iPads, laptops and an old wii. I love apple products and this is the first real disappointment I have had. The Apple TV seems like a major dud of a product.

Seems unlikely you have had two faulty replacements, and more likely that there may be some network compatibility issue or problem with reception in the location the AppleTV lies - anything close to it that might be interfering?
I am assuming you are connected via wifi - if you can try an ethernet connection to rule wifi issues out.
Could you try it at somone else's house maybe? If it worked there it would point to something specific at your location.
You could try replacing it again I guess or seeing if they can offer you credit or a refund.

APPLE TV DOES NOT WORK WITH NETFLIX

APPLE TV DOES NOT WORK WITH NETFLIX, just a black screen and "Netflix is loading" message appears. I can´t even see Netflix´s home page or set up my account. Netflix is working fine on all other devices at home, but in Apple TV.
I have tried the 8.8.8.8 DNS trick, the turn off procedure, the manual IP setting, but nothing....black screen still appears

It started working.....!!!!! (It seems someone back there is listening)
I "forced" an upgrade, I mean it showed "AppleTV is updated", nevertheless I re-started the system using the "return to original configurations" option. Then it updated again by itself to a newer version....and started working perfectly.
I have paired my apple wireless keyboard and it works fine, this way is easier to set up passwords or so (you can also do it with your remote).
TIPS:
I didn´t change any language or video quality configuration (scared to do so)
I changed to ethernet (cable) instead of wireless
My internet plan is 6 Megabytes (it was the same while it wasn't working)
good luck!!

HT3180 I owned an Apple tv and after upgrade my internet to higher speed my Apple Tv does not work the only message that show on the screen said if time and dates are not found go to apple/support/tv tried almost everything and nothing. Please somebody

I owned an Apple Tv and since I upgrade my internet to higher speed my Apple Tv does not work. Please someone help.

In most scenarios you shouldn't need to forward ports, however if you need to, you may be best contacting your ISP.
As with most router issues, I would recommend that you contact your ISP with details of your problem (assuming that it was your ISP that provided it to you).
There are simply too many manufacturers with different software features and settings and often different names for such features and settings, that the best advice will likely come from those that are knowledgeable about your particular router.
Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports
