Apple tv is connected to the network but won't connect to internet?

My apple tv 3 is connected to our wireless network but will not connect to the internet. I also cannot turn on home sharing. All the other wireless devices in our house have no problem with the internet. I have hooked the apple tv up to the computer and restored the factory defaults but that did not help. Any suggestions?

have you tried connecting using ethernet to see if it's a wifi issue ?
and have you verified that the required ports are allowed on the network ?

My Apple TV is reading " There was a problem connecting to the network" error - 3906

I have reset all network components and the Apple TV. I first set up Apple TV and it worked beautifully. The next time I turned it on it gave me the error message. I have tried reconnecting to the netwrk multiple times. I have my laptop and my ipad connected to the network, but the Apple TV will no longer connect. I am out of solutions. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I had the same problem. I just solutioned it just by disabling MAC Address filtering in my LinkSys router. This is strange as I did enter the address of my ATV3 in the list of allowed devices in the router configuration software.
The truth is that it now works! I just seems that ATV is not compatible with MAC Address filtering.

HT204400 no matter what i try, my apple tv says it cant connect to the network and it gives me error -3906. i have tried restart and reset, wifi, ethernet same error. all other devices work fine.

My apple TV has been working fine. Now it gives me error -3906 and says it cant connect to the network. it wont accept the password for my wifi. I have tried to restart and restore both the apple tv and my modem. still the same issue and same error message. any ideas?

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) 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 (Auto is best). 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.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

TS2972 Apple TV is not connected to the network?

After installing the latest Apple TV firmware update 5.1.1 (5433), my Apple TV will not stream music from my iTunes over the wifi network. After 15 - 120 seconds of music, the streaming stops and I get the "Apple TV is not connected to the network" message. My iPhoto is still streaming pictures and I can go to Radio and stream content.
In the "About" screen. I have 4 out of 5 bars of signal, but the IP Address number and wi-fi network name drop out randomly. I have reset and restored several times to no avail. I have reset my router several times and powered down/restarted several times. The Genius Bar folks have no answers except purchase a new one.
The system has worked perfectly until the December update.
Any answers?

This will be due to a network issue, which can come at any time
Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)
If on wifi try Ethernet
To see a status of the network go to istumbler, netstumbler or similar to get a report. Look for signal strength, noise, nearby networks

After installed the Lion, my Mac could not connect to internet. At least the my apple Mac turn on second time, then it would connect to the network. Who can tell how to fix it? Thanks!

Since my iMac OSX have installed the Lion last week, my iMac could not connect to the internet in the first turn on, and at least I turn off the computer, and turn it on again, then there is not problem to connect to the internet. So, it take much time to access to network.
Today I called apple store to fix the problem. They rebooted my system with their distance control.By that time, it seems work. But after couple hours later, I turn on my iMac, there is not connection to the network again. I hope someone could help me to solve that problem. Thanks!

I think I would call them back to follow up. As far as they know, everything is fine. But if you call back they can continue from where they were. They usually give a case number either over the phone the first time you called, or in an email later.

My apple tv gives a msg " there was a problem connecting to the network " check your settings and try again (5) - sometimes it comes with the number 3905 - i have tried all the suggestions from reset, restart, to switching and unplugging everything -

I was trying to download a movie and then it said there was a problem connecting to the network , check your settings and try again (5) . I tried all the various suggestions already in the discussions including restore, restart, unplugging everything etc - still doesnt work. Any other new ideas? I bought my apple tv just a few days ago and am really annoyed its already run into problems

Reboot router, make sure it's up to date. If on wifi try ethernet. Make sure DNS is set to automatic (settings - general - network).

HT1595 Since getting a new Verizon router I must unplug/plug in my Apple TV to get it to connect to the network every time I turn it on. What can I do to solve this problem?

Since getting a new Verizon router I must unplug/plug in my Apple TV to get it to connect to the network every time I turn it on. What can I do to solve this problem?

I would discover which brand of routers verizon bundle and go to the router makers homepage and check if they had a newer firmware for the router

Hello lucky3480;
I don't know what else to do. I'm thinking of possibly returning the unit and purchasing a wireless internet card to install in the tower. Any help you can provide would be great. Even suggesting a good wireless card at this point
Well it looks like you're not having any luck at all with this AX set up but please don't give on it just yet, it's a good choice for extending your Network. Your on the right path, just going backwards and in the wrong direction. You'll learn a lot about stuff this way but may lead to other issues.
Before I continue, let me know if you have returned the AX or still need help. Here's a link to Apple's PDF about [Designing AirPort Networks|http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/Designing_AirPort_Networks10.5-Windows.pdf] Click on it to open in Safari but then save it to your desktop. Now open it from your desktop and start reading Chapter 3, page 42.

I cannot access my Apple TV in WiFi mode. I have used it previously, but it keeps saying it is not connected to the network. My broadband is running. I was able to access Apple TV using an Ethernet cable. I have entered the password as confirmed by my ISP

I cannot access my Apple TV in WiFi mode. I have used it previously, but it keeps saying it is not connected to the network. My broadband is running. I was able to access Apple TV using an Ethernet cable. I have entered the wireless password as confirmed by my ISP without any success.

Hi,
Thanks for trying to solve my problem. It appears that the password I was inserting was incorrect. I now have access.
Thanks again.

The Apple time capsule provides disc memory, a wifi network, and router functions. It would normally be connected to the internet via cable modem. If I wanted to use a wireless cellular connection to the internet, how would I do that?

The wireless cellular device would need to have an Ethernet port, to provide an Ethernet signal to the Time Capsule's WAN port.

Can i use airplay if my apple tv is connected to the network by ethernet cable?

Can I use Airplay if my Apple tv is connected to the network using an Ethernet cable as apposed to a WiFi connection.

Thanks. I therefore have a problem as I cannot connect my ipad to the Apple TV. When trying to connect via Airplay my other apple tv appears (that is connected only via WiFi and that connects OK) but the Apple tv connected via the Ethernet does not show. I have looked at all the settings on both apple TV's and the only difference I can see is one is connected via WiFi and the other through Ethernet cable. Any ideas on what I need to check out?
