Hi there. I’ve got an Apple TV (A1469) unit but it wont show any WiFi options under the Network menu; only Ethernet. I tried connecting to Ethernet, restoring the unit and resetting, then unplugging the Ethernet cable but still no option for WiFi.
The Apple TV is to be used in a room without Ethernet, so I really need WiFi to show up, but its literally just not an option in the Network settings.
Any ideas?
Wi-Fi options would be disabled if an ethernet plug is inserted into the ethernet port on Apple TV. Verify that the port is empty and undamaged. Wi-Fi options would be enabled if nothing is in the ethernet port.
As the 3rd generation model is now officially an unsupported (technically “obsolete”) model, any malfunction or damage may not be repairable through Apple. The repair webpage does still list it in their price list, though. You can try if you think it’s worth it.

if ethernet is connected it removes wifi as an option could be that a defect with the connector tricker it thinking an ethernet cable is connected even if there are non
Thanks all. The Ethernet is unplugged so it must be an damaged port that thinks something is still plugged in.
