How to connect your Apple TV to your Wi-Fi network

Apple TV is already in its fifth generation, so the instructions for connecting each version on Wi-Fi are slightly different. Check it out below:

Apple TV HD or 4K (4th and 5th generation):

1. Click “Settings”;
2. Select the “Network” option;
3. Choose the Wi-Fi network you want to connect to;
4. Enter the access password and confirm to end.

Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation):

1. Click “Settings”;
2. Select the “General” option;

It is worth remembering that Apple TV cannot connect to captive networks, that is, those that require an additional process of completion. Typically, these networks are found in places such as businesses, schools, hotels, and shops.

What to do in case of problems
