You can reset all of the settings on your Apple TV to factory values.
Important: This requires you to reenter all of your network and account
information.
To reset all settings:
Choose Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
If you still have trouble, try resetting your equipment by disconnecting Apple TV, your TV, your wireless networking equipment or base station, and your router from the power outlet. Wait 30 seconds, and then reconnect everything.
It also may be helpful to switch between a wired and wireless network:
