Welcome to the Apple community.
There probably isn't a lot you can do, since the router settings will be beyond your control. Many such services in hotels and the like, use a system whereby you need to login through a webpage, since the Apple TV cannot display webpages, there is no way around this. You would probably be best asking at reception if this is the case.

I am trying to set up my newly purchased Apple TV but when I enter my network password while setting up, I am not able to enter the Submit button, any idea how to hit the visible submit button that is visible on screen but not responding?

You need to use the right arrow on the remote to go all the way to the right. The submit button will be highlighted and you can then press select on the remote to proceed.

the problem will be apple tv box firmware not fully support wireless keyboard. Will need update.
I think it does fully support wireless keyboard, but only for English. As Apple tells you in the link I gave you earlier: "Apple TV uses the U.S. English keyboard layout regardless of the keyboard's hardware layout"
Hopefully they will fix it in the future.

Yes. Pair using Bluetooth with your MacBook Air.

Wireless keyboard (non apple) + usb receiver = wake from sleep?

Does a non apple wireless keyboard with its own usb receiver wake the computer from sleep? if so any other issues / concerns when using one?

With regard to the USB port, I have always had my keyboard plugged directly into an original USB1.1 port. I save the USB2.0 ports (PCI Card) for scanner, hard disks, etc that would actually benefit from the speed increase. I do know that the buttons on my scanner (for instant scan/copy etc) work perfectly if the computer is awake, but will not wake the computer from sleep.
With regard to programming the other keys, my microsoft keyboard has a preference pane that allows you to define different functions for all the keys. This came on a cd with the keyboard, but only windows version. Had to download the mac version from microsoft.com website.
I've never tried a bluetooth keyboard. Perhaps with next computer purchase.
When I was shopping for a keyboard - the one thing that pushed me to the microsoft keyboard was greater flexibility in defining functions for the keys. For instance, The play, fast forward, rewind, volume keys always access itunes regardless of what program is running, except for imovie, where they instead control playback. If I hold down the shift key and push them in imovie, then they again control itunes. Similarly, I set the "my favorites" keys to link to certain websites in safari, certain albums in iphoto, certain playlists in itunes, and certain folders in the finder or otherwise. This control was more robust at the time (5 years ago) and still functions well for me. Not sure if other manufacturers have this now or not.

Setting up wireless printer through Apple Airport and Time Capsule

Hi, using Apple MacBook Air OS X and trying to set up a Brother 5370DW wireless printer. I have used the install CD of printer, and added it to the Apple, but when I try to use it wirelessly it wants to know the Network Security Settings Information. I have the print-out from the printer setup that printed out the Network Configuration, but it isn't helping me with what the setup CD wants. I need to know how to find:
SSID/ESSUD (Network Name)
Authentication Method
Encryption Mode
Encryption Key
The printout from printer setup shows some of this information, but not sure if it's what they want to register the printer's wireless signal. The "Easy Setup" wizard doesn't seem to work and the types of utilities they mention for having these settings automatically set don't seem to be on this system.
I just want to set up the printer to work wirelessly, it works with the ethernet cable attached.
The Cox cable signal comes into a Motorola modem, then goes to a Mac Time Capsule, which is connected by ethernet cable to a Mac Time Capsule. However, there is a Ooma telephone unit that is also hooked into the Time Capsule if that makes any difference.
Help sites with Cox tell me to contact router mfg, Apple says maintenance period and additional periods have expired. If want further help need $50 for 30-days. Any guidance or referral would be appreciated.

SSID/ESSUD (Network Name)
Authentication Method
Encryption Mode
Encryption Key
SSID/ESSUD = the Network Name of the Time Capsule's wireless network
Authentication Method = the Wireless Security mode (WEP, WPA, or WPA2) of the Time Capsule's wireless network
Encryption Mode = If Wireless Security is set to "WPA/WPA2 Personal" on the TC, then this mode = TKIP; if Wireless Security is set to "WPA2 Personal," then this mode = AES
Encryption Key = wireless security password of the TC's wireless network

How to set up wireless keyboards to work on 2 computers within 3 feet of one another

We work close together -- within 3 feet and need to use wireless keyboards if possible. One computer will recognize
the Apple wireless keyboard but my laptop will not recognize either of the 2 Apple wireless keyboards we own. I have changed
batteries, made sure Bluetooth is on and there is no other interference. Appreciate any help.

If the KB is paired with something, it needs to be deleted from that system before it can pair with something else. BT devices may only pair with one thing at a time.
If I did not understand your issue, post back.

Is it possible to sync a wireless keyboard to apple tv

I have an apple wireless keyboard that I would like to sync to apple tv 2nd generation
to make it easier to do movie or youtube searches, rather than selecting each letter using the remote
will this work??

Welcome to the Apple Community.
No that's not possible unfortunately. Do you have an iPod/iPhone or iPad you can use.

Wireless Keyboard (original apple KB) and current bluetooth pairing

I have an Apple original wireless keyboard and when I try and pair it with a MacBook Pro with Bluetooth software update 2.3.3-f8 the MBP can see the keyboard but can not pair with it. I know the Keyboard is old but is there a way to get it to work with my current MBP running OS 10.6.4. For what its worth, the wireless mouse of the same vintage does work.

Yes you can have multiple Bluetooth devices connected simultaneously. I believe you have have up to 7 BT devices at one time.

Using wireless keyboard with Apple TV

So why don't they make things easy and somehow add a firmware upgrade that allows you to use your wireless keyboard when making searches on the Apple TV. Every new owner of an iMac has one! This would be a great improvement over the hunt and pick that the remote gives you. Even Sony's playstation 3 has a remote keypad available as an option.

as others have said.. if you have an iPod Touch, iPad, iPhone you can use the remote app to type text fort the appleTV in a tiny package... and navigate your appleTV (don't have to use the remote at all) and surf the net and check email, twitter etc, etc without annoying everyone else in the house that just wants to watch the movie or TV show... and if you want to share something with someone on the big screen you can use airplay to transfer the video to the big screen.. next iOS update adds API for developers of 3rd party apps to add the ability to show video or audio on the big screen.. this direction seems to make WAY more sense to me than the google direction that seems to serve to mainly annoy your family..

Error Message when trying to set up wireless security WRT160N

I recieved the following error message when I tried to set up my wireless security;"Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation" What does this mean and how do I fix it?

If you are using LELA delete it from your computer. It is not needed. Connect viw your wired computer to 192.168.1.1 username blank password admin (or whatever you made it) and configure your router manually.
