Apple TV - There was a problem connecting to your network (-3906)
Product name: Apple TV (3rd Gen) Model A1469
Version number of the Apple TV Software: 7.2.1 (8011)
The problem: I am now getting an error when I turn the Apple TV on. "There was a problem connecting to your network (-3906)". So I can't get WiFi to the device. It had been working perfectly and is not that old. I've moved house recently and have no idea about where the receipt is.
Details about what seems to cause it: I have no idea.
Troubleshooting steps you've already tried: I have removed the Apple TV and replaced it with another one at the same location and it works fine. I have plugged in an Ethernet cable and it fi dos the Internet without problem. I've restarted the device. I've reset it to factory settings. I've tried it where the other Apple TV was working. I've removed the encryption from my Airport Express and tried to reconnect. None of these steps have fixed it.
I am sure this has happened to me before with an Apple TV and I just replaced it. But I'm not keen on replacing them every year or so, even though our family uses them a lot.
I see this has been an issue for other Apple TV users too but it doesn't seem to be fixed.
