Apple TV can't see Wifi Network FD199LL/A

Apple TV can't see Wifi Network FD199LL/A



I have a 3rd Gen Apple TV. I have been using it for some time connected by Ethernet. I tried connecting via WiFi and it can't see the network. I have a Linksys e3200 dual band router connecting my mac mini and iphone, both of which work on the network.



Have tried:

1. temporarily turning off security (WPA2)

2. restart Apple TV

3. restart router

4. update Apple TV - now on current firmware

5. update router - now also on current firmware

6. restarted again several times. tried connecting other things to the network such as a laptop and another iphone.



I am stumped. Apple Care is expired by 3 months.

AppleTV 2, iOS 7.1.2

Usually it is a LAN IP which is from your DHCP pool on your primary DHCP server. You put it in the IP Address field.


For example, if your DHCP server allocates IPs from 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.254, then limit the DHCP IP range to say 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.127, and then used any IP from 192.168.1.128 to 192.168.1.254. This effectively splits your DHCP addresses into two pools, a Dynamic and a Static IP pool.
