does airplay work when atv 4 connected via ethernet?

[edenbensal]

I connected my ATV4 to my home network by WiFi - everything work fine - all my iOS devices has the airplay option.
When I connected the ATV4 to my home network by ethernet cable the airplay stopped working. even the new apple app remote says that the ATV4 not available.
Does airplay works only on WiFi?

thank

Should work fine, must be a setting somewhere that needs adjusting.

Sounds like something to do with the network. As far as I can tell they only need to be on the same subnet for them to see each other. We have a fleet of ATV 3's that are on both Ethernet and WiFi and all are working just fine.

Turn off the wifi when it's connected by Ethernet. No sense in giving the thing 2 ip addresses. After that, restart the Apple TV.

I have mine connected by Ethernet and it works fine. I'd suggest restarting your ATV with the Ethernet connection connected?

I agree with those above, restart your ATV4 by holding the menu and play/pause buttons until the LED flashes rapidly.

I have mine connected via ethernet and AirPlay works fine.

My Apple tv connect by ethernet through switching hub Edimax ES-3208P and the switching hub connected to the router Dlink dir 615
Maybe the AirPlay don't work because of the switching hub?

I attached simple diagram of my home network

Modem should be plugged directly into router wan port. Switching hub Into one of the other router ports, then your Mac mini into the router, and the Apple TV into the router or hub. The diagram you have will cause routing problems.

Thats right, that will make it work OP

Your router needs to control the switch, so that it can route all traffic on your network. Your router knew the Apple TV existed using WIFI because you connected the Apple TV to the router, you just need to replicate that using the ethernet cable.

I attached my home network diagram
I dont know how to connect between the router and the hub because they are located in different places.

Based on your diagram, you don't even need the switch. Plug Apple TV into router.

The router and the Apple tv not located at the same place. This is the problem.

Your original post said you were attempting to connect your ATV4 via Ethernet - what is on the other end of that cable?

So solution 1: use wifi
Solution 2: run an Ethernet cable
Solution 3: use powerline network adapters
