  • If anything is plugged into the ethernet port on Apple TV, then a wired connection is assumed, regardless of connection success.
  • When nothing is plugged into the ethernet port on Apple TV, then Wi-Fi connectivity should be available.


If the ethernet port is empty, undamaged, and clean, and you still do not have Wi-Fi options available, then contact the Support staff. Contact Apple for support and service (phone numbers) or start your support request online (chat/​email/​callback).
