Unable to join 5GHz network when Apple TV is connected.

All my iDevices are ‘unable to join 5GHz Network’ if my Apple TV is connected to my home network. Strangly, my Apple TV is super slow when connected to my 5GHz network and seems to fare much, much faster when connected to my regular 2.4GHz network. In any case, all iDevices can’t connect to 5GHz if Apple TV is on. Any ideas?

Hello POWER TO THE G,


If the router is having an issue allowing other devices to connect when the Apple TV is connected, the first thing we would suggest is to reset the network by power cycling all the devices. This would include any modems, routers, and any devices that connect to them. While simple, this can refresh operating systems, apps and connections.


You may also want to consider connecting the Apple TV to the 2.4 GHz network. To change Wi-Fi networks, follow these steps:


  1. Open Settings App.
  2. Click on Network.
  3. Click Wi-Fi
  4. Choose the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network.
  5. Enter Password.


Have a good day.
