Does Apple have a way to enter an authentication password? Right now my Apple Tv (2nd gen) allows me to airplay to a certain extent but doesnt offer the other features I purchased it for.
AppleTV 2
I'm confused. Authentication password FROM where/what device?
What features did you purchase it for?
Every device you use on the dorm network you have to enter your student id to use the internet. My question is can you do this with Apple TV. And I meant features like youtube and renting movies.
Contact the IT dept and ask them if there is a way to get the ATV on the network.
The ATV has no web browser and as such cannot authenticate on the network the way other devices do.
So do you not have Wired Ethernet Internet to your dorm room?
I ask because without having a Router setup, you will not be able to connect to any of your devices to get the full functionality of the Apple TV.
IF you can eventually get it connected, Yes, you'll be able to view your iTunes and Possibly Netflix etc.
But you will not be able to swip your phone info up to the TV.
You will not be able to connect to any of your computers/iPhone.
You will not be able to use the ATV as a wireless monitor for your Laptop.
etc, etc.
They all have to be part of the same network.
If you had wired internet through ethernet, then you'd be able to connect a router up to that and connect all of your devices with the Router's wireless network and not have to fiddle with the School's.
Why not check this out and see if it's available.
My dorm requires authentication, can I still get the full Apple Tv experience?
