Hi seppl5032,


If you are talking about using the Remote app that allows you to use your iPad (or other iOS device) to control your Apple TV, it actually connects by using the same wireless (WiFi) network that the Apple TV uses. You may find the following article helpful:

If you just need to connect a keyboard to the Apple TV for typing, you may find this article useful:
