Apple TV on Ethernet

Two of my Apple TV’s are on my home wi-fi network and one is connected via hardwire Ethernet. Is there a way to get the iPhone or iPad remote app to recognize the Ethernet connected Apple TV ?

it should be transparent for the wifi connected devices how the appletv is connected


unless the router haven't set the 2 networks as bridged some also keep 2.4Ghz wifi and 5Ghz wifi as separate networks


so it's a network configuration thing and how one resolve it change from router to router

Sorry, I wasn’t clear. The problem is actually not solved despite inadvertent selection.


The downstairs Apple TVs is connected via Ethernet. The upstairs Apple TV’s are on 5.4 GHz wi-fi. I can see all three Apple TV’s on Apple’s My Home network. However, on the remote function (control center) on my iPad does not recognize the Apple TV connected via Ethernet. Is there a workaround other than having to connect the downstairs Apple TV via Wi-fi?
