Thanks but it didn't solve my problem. The apple tv can't find my wifi network. It can't actually find any wifi networks in my building. I can connect to my wifi with other computers but not with the apple tv. I tried re-stetrting, re-setting even plugging in and out the hdmi cables, re-starting the router etc nothing worked.
I wonder if it's faulty? Did you just buy it?
Did you configure your Wifi originally?
Is the Wifi name - SSID visible from other devices that arnt already connected to it?
Possibly SSID broadcast is off, You can turn off the broadcast of the SSID at the router so it does not show, you will need to manually enter the SSID into the ATV.
or maybe the ATv is rooted...
If it was me...... I'd take it to a friends or parents and try to see if it recognizes one. If not then I'd take it back to apple. If its under warranty you'd most likely get a new one.

Yep it is viewable in the other devices.

I think that is what I am going to do...take it back to apple. Thanks.
It has to be the apple tv. Sometimes you rack your brain so much figuring this crap out, but most likely it's just a faulty apple tv. Happens I guess...you'll get a new one.

Thanks for your help. I'll try to get a new one.
Hey, did this solve your issue? I ask because I had the same problem which came out of the blue (it had worked fine previously) I swapped it at the apple store, for a brand new device, but after bringing it home and running the neccessary os update, it had the same problem. I'm guessing it something to do with the most recent update. Has anyone found a workaround?
Same here!!
what do I do now? bring it back to apple store?
I wouldn't bother - seems to be a problem with the OS. My replacement had the same issue.
I seemed to have this problem, I had to just plug the ethernet into the Apple TV and it worked fine after that.
It wasn't connecting to my wifi correctly, so I connected it through the "Configure TCP/IP" and I could access my internet, but because I was not on the wifi connection, it would communicate with my iPhone.
The remote app is amazing with Apple tv
I have the same problem - was watching a movie and it disconnected from the network. Restarted the ATV and no wireless networks showed up - I brought it in and set it right next to my Airport Extreme and still - zero signal/networks showed up. Worked fine when I connected it with ethernet cable BUT that is not a solution the way I've got my TV set up. I've been searching for answers - but there don't seem to be any... Grrrr.
