We have recently purchased an Apple TV 3rd gen.
We use it for streaming content either directly from TV or through Airplay (iOS devices and MAcBook).
No issues on the Airplay from iOS devices, although the connection is flaky at times.
The biggest problem we have is when playing some (not all) HD movies on our MacBook and streaming them to the ATV through iTunes airplay. Yesterday we watched 3 HD (1080p) movies that way. The first one dropped off a few times (every 15 minutes or so), the second didn't drop once and the third dropped off every few minutes, even after we switched off all other devices that may have a WiFi connection to our router. It made no difference.
I have been looking into it until late last night and am thinking that (maybe) our router just can't handle the load of streaming some HD movies. It's a Vodafone station (Huawei HG556a HW.C)
In order to try and resolve this really annoying dropping off issue, I am also setting fixed IP addresses to all our devices, as some people reported stability improvements after doing so.
In any case, should we find that we need a better router, does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks a million for the replies
