Hi Urquhart1244,


I've tried with "WPA2/WPA3 Encryption" but I got error of "Wi-Fi password you entered is not correct. Try again (-100)" and doesn't ask me to re-enter password.


It able to connect to my home Wi-Fi after I switched to "WPA/WPA2 Encryption".


Thanks,

Kenny.

Kenny,


Have you considered upgrading your Apple TV 3 to an Apple TV 4K. Your ATV 3 is extremely outdated and does not come close to offerng you the content available as on the Apple TV 4K. If you are in the USA you can still find Apple TV 4K 1st generations for only $129.99 at https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1361939-REG/apple_mqd22ll_a_tv_4k_32gb.html
