Does Apple TV work away from home?
In the Home app , you can control your accessories even when you’re away from home. To do so, you need a home hub, a device such as Apple TV (4th generation or later), HomePod, or iPad (with iOS 10.3, iPadOS 13, or later) that you leave at home.
Can I use my Apple TV anywhere?
Apple TV enables streaming of video, music, and photos from your computer to your TV. This clever hack enables you to stream content anywhere, anytime, on anyone’s device. Previously, Apple TV would only connect with a device sharing the same WiFi network, so if you’re at a friend’s place, you’re out of range.
Can you watch Apple TV off Wi-Fi?
You need an internet connection to set up Apple TV, but not to use it. Obviously, it won’t be able to access any on-line content when off-line. And it doesn’t gracefully support storing content locally, so you’d need a network to access content. You can use peer-to-peer AirPlay to stream from your phone to Apple TV.

If you have an Apple TV (4th generation or later) or HomePod, or if you set up an iPad (with iOS 10.3 or later, or with iPadOS) that you leave at home, you can use remote access. The Apple TV, HomePod, or iPad acts as a home hub, which allows remote access to your accessories.
Can your Apple TV get hacked?

Can a Apple TV be connected to a WiFi network?
If your Apple TV was connected via Wi-fi, then all you did was connect the ethernet cable, you will still be on Wi-fi. You need to restart your Apple TV.

What’s the Ethernet speed on an Apple TV?
Now the AppleTV can communicate to the base station at 100 mbps (max speed of ATV 3 ethernet port) and since the iMac is doing 144 or 180 mbps, buffering is almost no time and airplay mirroring looks really realy good with only a little bit of loss of quality.
