    Same problem  It always worked fine until a couple of days ago.  Network strength indicator even shows a connection yet I can't connect.  Really awesome on Christmas when I was trying to stream iTunes during the family party and the yearly slideshow in iPhoto.  TV isn't even showing up on my laptop.  Very frustrating...

    1: Unplug / shut off the router for 30 seconds

     

    2: Retore or unplug apple tv (If you unplug it, let it sit for 30 seconds as well)

     

    3: If all else fails try moving the ATV and router closer to each other, if nothing works I would consider it a defect as Apple products generally have great quaility and you never know what goes on behind warehouse doors!
