2n generation apple tv won't connect to wifi

When I click on the wifi network I want to connect to it say I have entered the wrong password even though I didn't enter a password. I have restarted and reset the apple TV as well as restarted my router, what else should I do? Is the 2nd gen obsolete?

  1. Verify that the router is not set to use WPA3. Instead set WPA3+WPA2 compatibility mode.
  2. If the device has connected to the same network name in the past, then it might automatically connect using a remembered password. Try using the Other… option to enter both the network name and password manually.

Technically yes, but that has no bearing on connecting to Wi-Fi networks. What works will keep working until there is a reason that it doesn’t anymore.
