Apple TV not connecting to Orbie

My Apple TV is unable to connect to new Orbie RBR50. Connected fine to WRT1900 yesterday. Is this a problem with the Orbie or is there a setting in the app to allow the Apple TV in? Not allowing Apple to connect is a BIG problem. May need to return Orbie.

    Hello Crg1

     

    Can you give more detail on what the Apple TV is doing when trying to connect to the network?

    I guess IT has to do with Portsmouth that Apple has to use. Then I did som portforwarding IT worked for Me 😁 Appletv nejds to have Access to certain ports for activation and so on

    Look at: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202944 for portnumbers.

      Actually I just rebooted the Orbie and I was able to connect.
