Factory Reset my First generation Apple TV, now it no longer recognizes my AirPort wireless (WiFi) network?!  Help!  I am running Lion on an early 2007 iMac.

    Have not tried with Direct Ethernet connection, but after restarting my iMac a couple times it strangely worked.  Updating software now, well still downloading @ this point.  Thought it was possibly the security type I was using, but I ended up back to WPA2 personal that I had originally started with. It was not even seeing my WiFi before, so I never even had a chance to enter a password.  Also using an older AirPort Extreme. May be time for some updated equipment, but at the same time it has made it this far.
