I had wifi-authentication failures going on recently. My Apple TV box is set up to use EAP-TLS to authenticate against the network, and was failing to connect. [SOLVED] It turned out that it didn't have a clue about what the local time was, as it was unable to connect to the network to find out, and because it was unable to get the local time, it either believed that the some part of the EAP response had an invalid timestamp or maybe that it felt that some certificate involved along the way was not valid. The solution was to connect it to an ethernet port, wait a couple of minutes for the time to sync, and then remove the ethernet cable. Maybe this nugget helps someone else in this situation. Regards, Al.
