Hi everyone,
I just got an AppleTV 2 a few days ago. I'm sure this issue has been brought up before, but after a brief search on the forums, I didn't see anything particular to my issue.
I have a high-speed broadband connection (about 17-18 Mbps down) and stuff from Netflix and HD video from iTunes rents and streams perfectly and quickly. HOWEVER, when I attempt to stream from my iTunes library on my MacBook Pro it takes forever for video (and noticeably longer-than-expected for audio as well) to buffer and begin playing. I have an 802.11N router, and my Wi-Fi internet connection from my MacBook Pro fast, so why is the local network so slow?
This nagging problem is really putting a damper on my AppleTV experience.
Anyone have this problem, know of a fix for this or why it's happening in the first place?
I've been having problems with my current, old Netgear wireless N router, which likes to suddenly cut out and drop connections (mostly likely from a power issue), but when the connection is up, all internet-based services on my laptop, PS3, and AppleTV, for example, work flawlessly. It's only when dealing with Home Sharing on the network to the AppleTV that a problem occurs. I do have an Airport Extreme arriving in a few days, so maybe this problem will clear up once I get a "proper" router.
Thank!
William
