Original Apple TV? You mean the white and silver slab?

That one is no longer supported and depending on T-Mobile’s router config may or may not be able to connect to it over Wi-Fi. You should still be able to plug in an Ethernet cable directly form the Apple TV to the router though.



If you have a little black box, that’s a second gen or later Apple TV, not the original.


You can go to Settings->Network and find your Wi-fi network there to connect to.
