Why Apple TV won’t connect to internet

I reset my Apple TV to its factory settings and I cannot get it to connect to the internet. I looked at configuring it manually but there are more number to fill in then what my IP address lists. I’m so confused any suggestions?

Do you intend to connect over Wi-Fi or via ethernet? Can you try the other?

You shouldn’t have to configure the network manually. Automatic would be preferable for almost all users.

Ethernet should be plug-and-play for regularly configured home networks. As soon as the router detects a new device, it will look if it needs to provide an IP address for it (DHCP) in the same subnet as the other local devices, and it will offer its DNS service.

If it doesn’t connect automatically, then try to restart the router, to see if the router picks up new devices after that.
