Apple TV to work with Belkin Router

I assume you've turned on Home Sharing on the ATV2 as well as the Computer?

Try either both wired, or both wireless - any difference?

Some Belkin routers don't work with Bonjour - which Apple use to underpin Home Sharing.


Until yesterday I had the same problem. My macbook wouldn't see my ATV2, and my iPhone & iPad couldn't see them either - even though they all connect to the internet fine.

Fortunately, yesterday Belkin released a firmware update for my router (A FD74401uk Play Max n600). I installed it, and everything works fine.

Hopefully there's a firmware update already available for your router - if not, contact Belkin support

Not sure I understand you.
You're internet comes into you're house via ADSL, and connects to your Belkin router.
The Belkin router then serves the wired or wireless network to the devices in your house.
Those devices can be the AppleTV and the PC.... there is no need for any additional account on top of your adsl account.
