How to switch your Apple TV® between wired and wireless networks
Apple TV® is a digital media receiver that lets you stream contents from Netflix®, Hulu™ and other selected streaming media wirelessly in your network. This article will teach you how to switch connections on your Apple TV® from wired to wireless and vice versa.
IMPORTANT: If you don’t unplug the Ethernet cable connected to your Apple TV®, you cannot join your wireless network. When you use an Ethernet cable, Apple TV® automatically uses that connection instead of your Wi-Fi® network.
From wired to wireless network:
Unplug the Ethernet cable from your Apple TV® and the Linksys router.
Once the Ethernet cable has been removed, go to Settings, select Network and join a Wi-Fi network. For more information about this, click here.
From wireless to wired network connection:
To switch to a wired connection, all you need to do is to connect one end of an Ethernet cable to your Apple TV® and the other end to one of your Linksys router’s numbered ports (1, 2, 3, 4). The Apple TV® will then switch automatically.
Once the Ethernet cable is wired to both your Apple TV® and router, the Network screen will refresh and will show you the new network information about your wired network setup such as your IP Address and MAC Address.
