Currently using a Technicolour TG589vn v2.  The WiFi connection between iMac and Apple TV is the major issue.  We have an EXTREMELY flaky internet connection due to the whole area requiring recabling.  The problem I am experiencing is that when the internet connection is playing up, the connection between the Mac and Apple TV is compromised, so you can probably understand my frustration.

A) What WiFi settings do I need to adjust to prevent local connections from being affected by internet connection issues.

B) If my modem/router is not capable of maintaining a stable WiFi LAN environment irrespective of the ADSL connection, what other device should I consider using?

C) Would using LAN cables through the device be more effective?

Thanks in advance.

lan cables will always be more effective, but not always practical.

ive never had any issues with the TG589 but is the modem rebooting when it looses ADSL sync or is it just dropping ADSL and WIFI. i dont believe there is any correlation between the 2 in the software.

Do you have a master installed to make the xDSL connection as stable as possible or are you using line filters?

I recall there was a problem with one of the ISP supplied routers taking over all DNS queries when the WAN was down, breaking your LAN because it was resolving things that it shouldnt have.

I have never had to help with one of those situations so I dont know if there was a solution or if hardware swapping was the easiest way.

the tg589 did have issues with DNS queries when using windows 8/8.1 but it was a pretty simple fix for that
