Apple Replacing These Apple TV 3 Units Suffering From Wi-Fi Issues
9to5Mac reports Apple has started a replacement program for 3rd generation Apple TV units affected by Wi-Fi connectivity issues:
Apple has determined that a very small number of Apple TV (3rd generation) products might experience one of these Wi-Fi related connectivity issues:
- Cannot locate network
- Unable to join network
- Dropped or intermittent connection.
Only units with serial numbers ending in DRHN will be eligible, along with fourth and fifth (Update: according to AI in the comments and others, look for the 4th and 5th serial numbers, not 3rd and 4th) alphanumeric characters containing the following:
Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider will replace affected products for up to two years from the original purchase date.
In March it was revealed a silent third generation Apple TV refresh contained a smaller version of the A5 chip plus other minor tweaks. If you have suffered issues with your Apple TV and it is eligible, then you should contact Apple for a replacement.

She’s hatin’. call back and get another rep or try online chat.
It’s the 4th & 5th characters. The original report was wrong in saying the 3rd & 4th.
Where did you hear this from? Apple?
I checked my AppleTV and noticed that the 4th & 5th characters matched. So my gut told me that the original notice may be wrong. I checked your source post (9to5Mac) to see if there was a retraction and noticed numerous comments stating that it was the 4th & 5th characters. One contained a link to a MacRumours post that referenced people stating the correction. Something about those two characters representing the month/year and it not being possible that the noted combinations would be in the 3 & 4 position and match up correctly with what the first few characters of the serial# are meant to represent.
Ah, okay I gotcha. Thanks for that, updated! Definitely confusing.
re: the posted update
“ai”… hah!… Why didn’t I think of that?! It’s actual “AL”, as in “Alan”. But I think I like the “ai” version better.
Thanks Alan.
From now on you’re known as ai, for artificial intelligence or Allen Iverson 😉
