Hello:
I was hoping that some of you may be using an Actiontec R1000H router and may be able to give me some assistance with getting this to work with Apple TV.
My setup:
Win 7 Home Premium Desktop
Actiontech R1000H Router (as supplied by phone company for Fibre television)
Ipad 3
Apple TV 3
Issue:
can't stream a movie (MP4 format) or any tv shows purchased from itunes, from itunes on the desktop, to Apple TV. The error message is "an error occured while connecting to the Airplay device Apple TV. The network connection timed out. I've tried both wireless and wired connections between the desktop and the Router. The mp4 movie is fine...tried several different movies, none will stream but all will play in itunes on my pc.
Things that are working properly:
internet, email, etc
I can stream music and photos to ATV...just can't stream a movie
ATV can play Youtube and Trailers with no issues
I can stream from the ipad to Apple TV (including the mp4 movie file)
Apple TV recognizes my Library (inside the Computers icon) and displays and plays these items
What I've tried:
updated itunes and ATV firmware to the latest versions
made sure that home sharing is turned on
rebooted everything (router, ATV, desktop pc)
tried connecting both wirelessly and wired between the router and the pc
moved the pc and router so that both were only a few feet from the ATV
searched for solutions (disable/enable WWM,etc) but nothing seems to help.
tried both a low res and a high res mp4 movie
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
