    I've got exactly the same problem. Its very strange because I had to unplug my ethernet cable to update to 5.1.1 by wi-fi, but once restarted the wi-fi won't work anymore. I've now had to plug the ethernet cable back in to reach the network as it seems the upgrade has 'broken' the wi-fi. Like you I've tried rebooting the router, my airport express and,of course, the ATV. Every other piece of kit works fine via wi-fi (iPad; iPhone; Android mobile etc. etc. ). This is really annoying - can someone please help us?

    Unfortunately not, so I had to speak with Apple support who agreed to replace the ATV as faulty. The new one works just fine, but I've not upgraded the software beyond the installed 5.1.
