On startup Apple TV tells me that I am NOT connected to a network.  Settings says I am.

I have two Apple TV units.  Until the last couple of weeks they have both worked fine. No hardware has changed but now they both have the same problem. On startup Apple TV tells me that I am NOT connected to a network.  Settings says I am.  Both the MOVIES and TV columns fail to appear on the main screen.  I cannot connect with HOME SHARE.   Network settings show I am connected to my wireless network.  When I auto configure my TCP/IP settings, it tells me that I'm connected.  But nothing works.   As a test I did connect the unit to an ethernet cable and everything worked perfectly (the cable was connected to a WIFI extender - proving that my WiFi IS working for other devices).  But I want to get back to wireless operation.  What's wrong?

Having reread your post, i note you say you connected the thernet cable to a wifi extender, are you by any chance using the wifi extender when trying wifi and by extender do you mean a WDS extended network. I have seen quite a few reports that networks extended using WDS have problems.
Although it may be a weak signal, are you able to temporarily disable WDS to see if this resolves the connection issue.
