Hi,
I just purchased the second-gen Apple TV and I'm having trouble getting it up and running on my network. I have Telus Optik TV using the D-Link 3810. The Telus TV box is connected to one port on the D-Link, and 5 computers in the house are using the D-Link's wifi.
When I first set up the Apple TV, I connected it to the D-Link with an ethernet cable. All the internet features on the Apple TV worked, but I couldn't access any of the media files on the computers in the home using homeshare, and I couldn't control the Apple TV with the Remote App.
I then disconnected the ethernet cable and used wifi to connect the Apple TV to the network. Internet features on it still work, and I can now control it using the Remote app, but still no access to the media files on the computers in the network. Homesharing seems to be working on the computers, as they can see each others libraries, but none of them can see the Apple TV and the Apple TV doesn't see any of them.
Just curious if anyone else has had this problem? Is it a limitation of the D-Link router? Would disabling the wireless on it and using a different router help?
Thanks for the suggestions
