Yeah, I wasn't asking about your internet connection (yet)
. Good to know it's quick. Sounds like the issue may be local. Like I asked - have you tried switching to wireless?
I will try that although it's baffling all I did was switch apple tv's. Maybe I should just reboot my modem and router.Yeah, I wasn't asking about your internet connection (yet)
It certainly wouldn't hurt rebooting your modem / router. You can also re-seat the ethernet cable in the jack in the ATV as well (maybe it's not completely clicked in?) If you can, also look at the copper pins on the cable - make sure none of them look dirty.
Flipping to wireless would have isolated the problem to your wired connection. (if flipping to wireless didn't resolve the issue, then the problem could be elsewhere) - such as some element that migrated from your ATV4kv1 to your v2 which is incompatible or corrupt in the configuration (setting up your new ATV4kv2 as a new device / not migrating any information over and doing some testing could isolate if that's the case).
Well, I rebooted my modem and router and it didn‘t solve it. I also re-seated the Ethernet cable. When I set up the new box, I did the thing where I brought my iPhone close to it and set it up that way. It synced all the apps i have on my Apple TV’s.It certainly wouldn't hurt rebooting your modem / router.

Well, I'd do the wireless test before blowing it away (as that will take some time).
They're likely to take you through similar steps though.What numbers do you see when you run the Speedtest app on your ATV?
Pretty pitiful. I hadn’t thought of that so I ran it and I get 21Mbps down 29.7Mbps up. 21ms ping.
Good news. I do not know how a power cord could cause a communications drop, but anything is possible.
Yeah, maybe the wiring is a little different and it wasn’t giving enough power to the networking controller. I guess I just learned to always use the power cable that comes with a device.
I am also using old AppleTV 4K power cable. Too lazy to switch to 2021 AppleTV 4K cable. New ATV is much zippier accessing (cat6 network) content from my MacMini video server. The A12 powered ATV is worth the upgrade for me. Content/pages load 2x faster. Previous 4K wasn't really laggy but I'm loving the new set top box's improved performance. I ran the Speed Test app and still getting similar 942/743 down/up speeds as my previous ATV.
That may kind of explain why I was having extremely slow internet speeds with my 1st gen power cable connected and then when I connected the new cable to this box the speed shot right up to gig.
Don't think so. This was more or less coincidental because the two power cords are exactly the same.
I have the same problem. It switches very slowly between apps and some screens. it seems to turn off transiently. once the app is open everything streams perfectly fine.
I am glad I found this post because I was considering buying the ATV 4K (2021) model, but I have the 1st Gen model and it is doing the exact same thing you mentioned regarding downshifting to 100Mbps when in sleep mode. I have a Cisco gigabit switch and I'm able to look at the logs to see the interface bouncing and eventually shuts downs for hours. The problem I'm having now is when the device is powered back up for using, it only auto negotiates to 100Mbps. It is not a cabling issue or switch port issue because I've tried multiple cables and even a different switch. I have two of the HD models and neither experience this issue. Both interfaces on the HD models never shutdown.
