Hi,


First post on this forum. I've been pulling my hair out, searching google like a madman trying to find out how to get past the dreaded (-3905) connection error code. Finally i ran accross this post from a lady who turned off her mac address filtering on her router. She said it worked.


So i have a netgear router, i searched around and turned off the mac address filtering box and my apple tv connected to my network instantly. I went to advanced setup/ wireless settings/ wireless card access list and it shows all my home devices connected to the network. I then UNCHECKED the "turn access control" box. And tried my apple tv and boom!


I hope this helps you or anyone! I was ready to return this thing.
