Does Apple TV require a WiFi connection to work?

Yes, Apple TV typically requires a WiFi connection to function fully. The device is designed to stream content over the internet, which includes movies, TV shows, music, and more from various applications such as Netflix, Hulu, and Apple's own Apple TV+. While it is possible to use Apple TV without WiFi to play content that's been downloaded on other devices and uploaded to the Apple TV or to access certain features through a wired ethernet connection, a stable WiFi network unlocks the full range of streaming capabilities and services offered by Apple TV.
