Apple TV2 not does not mirror

I have just bought an Apple TV2 and it doesn't mirror the picture. The sound works on the TV and my other Apple TV3 works fine! Another problem iis the software update can't be down loaded.

I have looked through all of the settings and made sure everything is on and ipad and apple TV are on the same network.

Help!!

Hi, it sounds like your ATV 2 has no network connection. Please check the items here Get help with Wi-Fi networks on your Apple TV - Apple Support

Have you enabled AirPlay on the new ATV?

Have you given the new ATV a different name?

Review the suggestions here Get help with AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

What device are you AirPlaying from?

Sometimes there's a problem with AirPlay between WiFi and ethernet. How are your device and ATV connected to the network?
