I have moved my entertainment systems downstairs. It is still within range of Wi-Fi. The Apple TV did work there last week but now it turns on but the remotes just say “Can’t find Apple TV” and I can’t do anything. Any suggestions?
I have taken it back upstairs and tried it and it does not work up there anymore either.

Verify that both the iPhone and the Apple TV box are connected to the same home network. If your iPhone is only connected to cellular, then it won’t be able to connect to the Apple TV.
For Wi-Fi, verify that all your devices use the same SSID network name. Creating separate network names for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band will result in separate networks that cannot ‘talk’ to each other.
Verify that bluetooth is on for the iPhone during discovery.

What kind of remote do you have that says “Can’t find Apple TV”?
Well nevermind I guess. It started working again. Lol
The normal remote doesn’t do anything. Remote app on my iPhone says “Can’t find Apple TV”.
Nevermind it’s doing it again.
