ATV2 Network Speeds

[JonnyAlpha]

Hi, I am upgrading my Network and need to check the Network speed of all my components.
I have an AppleTV2, What Network throughput will I get from the Ethernet and the WiFi.

I found theses spec but are they ATV2 or was there a second generation ATV 1 ?.

The AppleTVs are 10/100 when using wired Ethernet, 802.11n without bonding is 130-150 but it's a crapshoot. Wired if possible is your best option. Either way it's plenty for the type of streaming media the ATV supports.

That 130-150 (144/150) on wireless N is only with MIMO devices. The Apple TV is not MIMO capable and runs at a max connected speed of 72Mbps for WiFi.

At best, you'll get about 50Mbps of sustained throughput to the Apple TV via a Wireless N network with no interference. In reality, you can expect closer to 30-35Mbps via WiFi. Still, that's plenty fast enough to stream 1080P content.

If you want reliability and sustained speeds, use a wired connection.

Thanks, I stand corrected. I've got all my stationary devices on wired Ethernet.
