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:
ÂUse a wired Ethernet network to connect, Apple TV automatically detects your network.
ÂUse 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:
ÂSelect your network from the list, or enter your network name if the network is hidden
ÂEnter your password (if you have one)
ÂEnter 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.
