How do you change off of DHCP on an apple tv v3? I see no where that you can do this!! You go to network settings and there is no way to change it! The screen goes straight to choosing the wireless connection and the only choice is to put in your wireless password. I need to set it up with its own ip address so my network will work with it. Please help!!
Apple TV, Windows XP
Can't you do it via Settings>General>Network?
Alternatively, can your router assign an IP based on the AppleTV MAC address listed under Settings>General>About.
Nope it goes settings>General>Network>Wirless and the only thing you can do is choose a wireless brodcast and input your wireless password. There is no choice to disable DHCP and enter your own settings!
Our router will not assign addresses.. it must be done from the device.
You cannot manually configure TCP/IP (disable DHCP) on the Apple TV using WiFi. Period, end of story.
You can only configure manually by using a hardwired ethernet cable connection between your router and the Apple TV.
Why does your router not support DHCP or do you have it turned off for some reason?
We are on a secured access point - this is for a busniess- and it is my understanding that it must have an assigned IP address in order to work with our system and connect with my computer so I can upload the files we need to do what we want it to do. The older apple tv's work great and we can set the ip address, gateway and all that for it on wireless with no problem. We had one go bad so we recently replaced it with the new one and now it wont work. We use them to run slide shows and videos for point of purchase sales and for playing slideshows of our specials and events we have going on. It is nice being wireless because we can move it where ever we want in the store. I guess our only solution is to run some cable to it which does not make it easy to move it around the store like we would like to.
right now I have it connected to our "Open" wireless so we could get the updates but I cannot get it to connect to my pc in order to upload files because they are on 2 seperate networks.
Well, it appears I was wrong about manual configuration on WiFi. When I select my network (the one I'm already connected to) a menu appears that shows Configure IP and Configure DNS. Both are set to automatic. If you select either one you get a screen that allows for manual configuration of IP or DNS.
Does your secure network require a password even if the IP is entered manually? If so try entering it and then see if the menus appear for manual configuration. Looks like it is possible but it's also not very straightforward either.
