New Apple TV
Before you start! This guide is for the 4th generation Apple TV. If you have a 2nd or 3rd generation Apple TV, please refer to this setup guide. Also, it’s worth mentioning that you need a US Apple account in order to get US-only applications like Hulu, HBO Now, Showtime etc. on the new Apple TV.
If you need help creating a US Apple account, just follow this guide :)
When your Apple TV has turned on navigate with your remote and open Settings.
Here just select Network.
If you have connected your Apple TV to your Wi-Fi network, select it and click to continue. (If you connect via an Ethernet Cable, click Ethernet here.)
A new window will appear, where you need to click your Wi-Fi network again. Do that and continue.
Once this window appears, go down until you see the Configure DNS field, which is probably set to Automatic. Scroll down and click this field. Make sure NOT to change the Configure IP field. That should still be set to Automatic.
Once this window appears, go down until you see the Configure DNS field, and set it to Automatic.
Once you click the Configure DNS field, you will see the current DNS server (which is your router at the moment).
Once you click the Configure DNS field, you will see the current DNS server, just switch it from your manual settings to Automatic.
