Configure.

Apple TV helps you select and configure your wireless network connection, and, if you

want to watch or listen to the content in your iTunes library, connect to iTunes on your

computer.

Network Configuration

Have your network password (if you use one) and your Apple Remote handy to

configure your Apple TV. Make sure there are no obstructions between the remote and

Apple TV. See “Ready, set, watch.” on page 21 for information about using your remote.

If you:

Â

Use a wired Ethernet network to connect, Apple TV automatically detects your

network.

Â

Use a wireless network to connect, Apple TV helps you select and configure your

network connection.

Connecting to Your Wireless Network

Apple TV will help you connect to your wireless network. If you use a password to

access your network, have it ready. Use the Apple Remote to:

Â

Select your network from the list, or enter your network name if the network is

hidden

Â

Enter your password (if you have one)

Â

Enter your IP address, subnet mask, router, and DNS address (if you’re manually

configuring your network)

If you don’t connect using DHCP, you may have to enter your IP address, subnet mask,

router, and DNS addresses.
