Yesterday my home internet connection was down as I was changing phoneline providers.

I tried to stream a movie from my itunes to my ipad but it would not connect to my home network, this also happened on my iphone. I could airplay to my appleTV's with both devices but they would not connect to my home WiFi.

When my new phone line was connected both devices joined the WiFi network.

I could still use the airport utility for my extreme and expresses

That's because streaming from iTunes to iPad requires both devices to be "signed in" with your Apple ID, something you can only do with a connection to the Internet (assuming you wanted to use home sharing).

The cloud sucks uh ?
