Arris NVG589

This is a full modem gateway router.. so it should always stay as the main router.

The setup as far as you have described it is correct.. but the ethernet link is apparently down.. this is a common problem on the AC model TC.


Can you give me the actual TC model as well.. sorry I should have asked in the first post more explicitly.


If it is the tall AC one just say.. AC.


Do you have the ethernet cord plugged into the WAN port of the TC.. ?? Please move it to any of the LAN ports.. see what happens.. it should link and have a solid green light on the TC port and the Arris..


Your TC should pickup an IP from the Arris and should have no problems.. or minor ones..


Please give me the summary screenshot from your TC..


It should look like this.

So their could be a simple resolution for your issue.


You'll want to check the Apple TV DNS settings, Navigate to Settings, General, Network and Click on your wifi network. Then click again on your wifi network.


You should see settings for IP (automatic) and DNS (automatic)


If DNS is anything other than automatic, you have found your problem. If you're DNS settings are set to automatic, then you may want to check the ATT router/ or Time Capsule DNS settings.


You can try Open DNS settings in replace of Automatic for Apple TV and test Netflix. Does it work?
