I bought an Apple TV 3 a couple of years ago. It is connected by WiFi and Ethernet. Since purchase and set up, it would stream content, but will not update. Any thoughts? Is this an issue with the firewall?

It can't be wired and connecting via wifi at the same time, only other devices would continue to transmit over wifi for things like airplay/home sharing. Is the Apple TV connected to the router via ethernet or is it setup for wifi?
What exactly is occurring when you attempt to update? Is there an error?

Thanks for the reply. The network is set up via ethernet. The wifi is connected for airplay etc. It prompts to update periodically, but when I click "update now" it starts preparing the update for a while then after about 30 minutes a message pops up saying update cannot be completed. I can't remember the exact message right now, but I will run it again to get it. All the services like netflix work. As an aside, the firmware on my Marantz receiver also won't update.
Ok. Yes, it would help to know the exact message, and if there is an error number. Netflix uses adaptive streaming, if you have any iTunes purchase (movies/tv) to try that would be a better gage.
Somehow, it worked this time. Not sure why-- I've tried a dozen times in the last couple of years. Thanks!
