How do I connect Apple TV to Ethernet ?
I am considering Apple TV since we just cut the cord with xfinity for tv service. We have an LG TV in the living room with Netflix, Apple TV+, paramount, etc., which all are crystal clear. However when we went to watch via the YouTube tv app, we noticed it only streams at 780p max.
I did notice that the YouTube tv app streams at 1080p on our brand new LG tv in the bedroom, so it seems that the tv in the living room doesn’t have that capability.
A friend told me if I use Apple TV in the living room, it would convert the YouTube streaming so that it’s 1080p.
id like to know two things if possible…(1) is this true and (2) how do I connect to our Ethernet? I’d like to do that since the modem is right there. We have an xfinity modem. I looked at these instructions but I am unclear. It doesn’t really say how I connect to the Ethernet. When it comes to hardware I am clueless!
I sure would appreciate the help and connect for dummies explanation lol.
Set up Apple TV
Before you start, make sure you know your wireless network name (and password if the network is password-protected). If you’re using a wired network, use an Ethernet cable to connect your Apple TV.
Note: Ethernet is not available on Apple TV 4K (3rd generation) Wi-Fi.
- Connect one end of an HDMI cable to the HDMI port on your Apple TV, then connect the other end to the HDMI port on your TV.
- Connect one end of the power cord to the power port on your Apple TV and the other end to a power outlet.
- Turn on your TV, then select the HDMI input that’s connected to your Apple TV.
- On some televisions, this may occur automatically.
- Follow the onscreen instructions to set your internet connection, single sign-on, and other setup items.
