If Wi-Fi will not connect 

·      Reset the router to factory settings (menu or paper clip) – even if all other devices connect OK!

·      On iphone Settings, General, Transfer iphone or reset, reset, reset network settings

·      If you have a VPN you are strongly recommended to uninstall it and its profile in Settings, General, VPN and device management

Also Settings, Privacy & Security, Location services, Systems services, turn off Networking & wireless and see if it helps.

After I update my Apple TV to 16.1 it drops Wifi 1-4 times a minute. It loses wifi for about 1-10 seconds. 


Same thing happened on my iPhone 12 pro max after update.


On iPhone I was able to solve the problem with this fix.


* 1. Open Settings and scroll for Privacy & Security.

* 2. Tap on Location Services (they should be turned ON).

* 3. Scroll all the way down to System Services.

* 4. Turn OFF Networking & Wireless.


But can't find any solution for Apple TV.
