I’m looking for advice on how to get the camera to be available on an AppleTV that is hardlined to Ethernet. The G100 is on a 2.4ghz WiFi network but it comes up as “no response” on the AppleTV.
What am I doing wrong???

Sounds like a network isolation issue. Even if your Apple TV is on Ethernet and the G100 is on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, they must be on the same subnet and your router must allow mDNS (Bonjour) between wired and wireless.
Check if your router has settings like “Wireless Isolation”, “AP Isolation”, or “Block LAN to WLAN”; if any of those are enabled, it can break HomeKit camera access on Apple TV.
I’ll take a look at those settings later today.
Does it matter that I have Google WiFi (mesh). It doesn’t allow me to pick between 2.4 and 5. I had created a guest network which is always 2.4 but it is screwing with all the smart devices on the network. Will the G100 connect to the regular network even though it jumps between 2.4 and 5?
Hello @mflong10
You need to disable the 5 GHz network for a while, modern routers support this, I use Eero pro 6, there is this function.
It is better to connect the G100 camera to 2.4, having previously disabled 5 GHz.
