How to switch your Apple TV® between wired and wireless networks

Apple TV® is a digital media receiver that lets you stream contents from iTunes®, Netflix, MLB.tv, and other selected streaming media wirelessly in your network.  This article will teach you on how to switch connections on your Apple TV® from wired to wireless and vice versa.
 
From wired to wireless network:
 
Unplug the Ethernet cable from your Apple TV® and the Belkin router.
 
Once the Ethernet cable has been removed, connect to your router’s wireless network.  Click here to learn how.
 
From wireless to wired network connection:
 
To switch to a wired connection, all you need to do is to connect one end of an Ethernet cable to your Apple TV® and the other end to one of your Belkin router’s numbered ports (1, 2, 3, 4).  The Apple TV® will then switch automatically.
 
Once the Ethernet cable is wired to both of your Apple TV® and the router, the Network screen will refresh and will show you the new network information about your wired network setup such as your IP address and Ethernet address.
 
NOTE:  The Apple TV® prioritizes a wired network connection.
