Apple tv....house is wifi. issue with streaming as thrown off during movies

I have wifi in my house. My desk top is upstairs and the apple tv box is downstairs. We can not seem to be able to watch a complete movie or tv show. It shows buffering before it starts and then 1/3 of the way through we are thrown off.
Should we get a second modem that is not wifi for the tv and apple tv box? Will a second modem interfere with the wifi system that we have in our house? We are with BELL CANADA for our internet and Rogers for our TV. Our goal is to get rid of cable all together.
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Community.
How far away from the router are both devices. Your issue might be distance but could also be interference.

Is Apple aware of the Wifi issue with the IOS8 upgrade?

Is Apple aware of the WiFi issue with the IOS8 update? If so, what are the doing about it?

Ipad, wifi stops working and I have to restart my iPad and log in again. It only stays logged into my wifi for a short while then it drops it again. I followed instructions from other threads to reset my IPad and my router...still having issues. The same thing happened the last time I updated my IOS.

When is Apple going to fix WiFi issues with OS3.0

Since upgrading to OS3.0 on both my original iPhone and my new 3G S I constant have issues with maintaing strong signal strength with WiFi. In areas of my home where I always had full service I'm lucky to get any at all. I can also be standing right next to my airport device and only get one bar.
Apple, when are you going to acknowledge this problem and fix it???

Hi
Here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2044754&start=1080&tstart=0
is the ongoing discussion about this problem with more than 175000 views and 1000 entries, which has been moved around in the forum.
This thread-starters problem is real for many, really many iPhone users - and Apple replaces their phones, although nobody have any official comments from Apple.
My unprofessional guess is that it seem like 3.0 provoked a hardware failure, like overheating or something on the wifi chip, and there seem that there is no going back - your wifi is dead. No upgrade, (and if you did 3.1 there is no down-grade possible) will fix it. Leaving your phone off-off for a while and then restart it, may bring your wifi alive for less than a minute, but after that it fail to detect anything.
There is a feedback center which you can try to contact Apple with the problem, if not, contact your sales-point and get your phone replaced if you are still under warranty.
Good luck
Ken.

3.1 Wifi issue with Youtube seems to be corrected. Battery not so much

I installed 3.1 last night. Pretty good install. It appears that I am now able to watch youtube over wifi. Before the connection was really slow and it would pause halfway throught the video. I am glad it was fixed.
My battery has not improved at all with 3.1. I thought they said on the 3gs the battery would be improved with 3.1. If anything the battery is not as good.
If anybody else who was having issues with streaming video has noticed improvemnt, please let me know. I no longer have my 3g to compare to so I dont know if the speeds are the same.

ddizzd,
You're not addressing Apple here, only other users just like yourself. You're just wasting your time and breath on this forum. You need to post here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay. Works perfectly with my iPod Touch. The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect. Running latest IOS software.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

You said:
No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this.
That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

Is there an issue with streaming videos direct from itunes? I

Is there an issue with streaming videos direct from itunes? I have good wifi but films just buffer , doesn't happen on flixster on netflix , wonder if there is any tweak to watch a film uninterrupted , because it is very frustrating? Thanks

Apple appears to be having trouble with the iTunes Store servers right now.

I cannot get decent reception on my 4s from Sprint. I understand there is a known WiFi issue with the 4s as well as antenna issues. Is this true and is it resoved in the 5 series?

I cannot get decent reception on my 4s from Sprint. I understand there is a known WiFi issue with the 4s as well as antenna issues. Is this true and is it resoved in the 5 series?

I am aware that Sprint has network issues. I have learned that Apple does have reception issues with the 4s. The 5 series has more antenna area and a different protocol. I have owned at least 6 iPhones personally and over 30 as a company. The 4s is junk. Apple's attitude toward customer service is much more of a problem than Sprint's network. Apple sent me your non-answer to my questions instead of anything real. I asked about the iPhone, not about Sprint.

WiFi issues with Curve 8530

Hi,
I am having major WiFi issues with my Curve 8530. Everytime I connect to my wireless router, it takes a long time to connect to BIS, and then if I try to use basically any data at all, my router drops my Curve 8530. Sometimes it stays connected, but I cannot use App World at all, and email, and web browsing is all over the place in terms of speed, sometimes it is fast, while sometimes it is slow, and most of the time it stalls while loading a page. How do I configure my router for use with BIS and have it not drop my Curve 8530 everytime I use data over WiFi? BIS works perfectly over my cellular carriers network, so BIS is activated on my device. I have tried giving my BB a static IP, but that did not solve anything. My router is a Netgear WNR2000. Also, I have the latest device software installed on my BB, and all of my apps are up-to-date.

Hi,
Have you had any luck and resolving your problem?
We have a similar problem but it's with iOS devices where only one can connect at a time. We have about 10 that need to connect. All other laptops and tablets connect fine.
Power cycling the AX411 fixes it temporarly.

Tap to click not working properly in Mountain Lion. How do I get apple to fix this major issue with mountain lion?

The tap to click does not work with mountain lion as it did before the mountain lion install. I purchased a brand new imac in August of 2011 and got a wireless keyboard and selected the wireless trackpad instead of a mouse. The trackpad worked wonderful pre upgrade with tap to click. Now after the install of the newest beast, I have to actually press the trackpad rather than a slight tap. I have carpel tunnel and this is causing great stress upon my hand. How do I get apple to fix this major issue with mountain lion?

Perhaps, I was not clear enough.
I have an imac purchased in Aug. 2011 which came with Lion 10.6 (two uprades before mountain lion)
Recently, I just purchased a macbook pro retina with Mountain Lion
On my imac, my settings allowed me to "tap to click" everything EXCEPT the initial log in at the star up of my imac, again running Lion 10.6
On my macbook pro retina which has Mountain Lion, I set up the "tap to click" option, but notice that a "hard" click was neccessary when trying to click things. I thought this was a macbook thing (my first one) so I went and upgraded my imac to Mountain LIon, BIG MISTAKE! Now both my imac AND my macbook only have limited "tap to click" options. Before mountain lion I could "tap" to highlight and select text, tap and drag, and many other thiings that Mountain Lion has disabled.
I am truly surprised that no one has noticed this MAJOR issue.
Is there a way to uninstall this update, similar to how on a PC you can go back to a restore point.
On another note even the way PREVIEW has changed is less user friendly, there used to be icons on the bottom right corner of the screen, now I have to double tap and select the option I would like to switch between contacts and thumbnails. This is really annoying and is causing me time when reviewing files.
Just in case anyone was wondering, I did go to system preferences -> trackpad -> select tap to click
In fact almost all of the trackpad functions have been selected.

I have a ipad 1. I seem to be having a lot of connectivity issues. It takes a long time to load and sometimes will not load a page at all. I seem to be having issues with streaming in that it will play a song and just stop.

Anyone had these issues?

WiFi Issue with S850

I am facing WiFi issues with my S850 phone. It does connect to wifi network but browsing does not work. It is same for all the wifi networks. I am not able to browse internet or any other work which req net connectivity,

can you try do a factory restore then just use the phone without changing anything in settings. I am not sure if this is caused by settings or a hardware issue.
If after doing a factory reset and problem persist then bring it to the service center.

I am experiencing some major problems with my MacBook Pro. I have had some issues with it turning on/off at random times, but today, when starting, I get the grey start-up screen and a recovery bar. After filling in approx 1/4 of the way, the machine dies

I am experiencing some major problems with my MacBook Pro. I have had some issues with it turning on/off at random times, but today, when starting, I get the grey start-up screen and a recovery bar. After filling in approx 1/4 of the way, the machine dies. After starting it in recovery mode, it will not allow me to download OS X Mavericks- it says the disk is locked. Any ideas? I do not have a back-up and do not want to erase everything before I have explored my options. Help?

try forcing internet recover, hold 3 keys - command, option, r - you should see a spinning globe
most people will tell you to do both pram and smc resets (google) and if you still have issues, either clean install (easy) or troubleshoot (hard)

I cant find my pdf/ibooks on computer after backing up my iPad (they are on my iPad). Also, I'm having issues with my Ipad turning off about every 2 minutes so I want to restore it. Dont want to lose my files from my iPad.

Actually I have 2 problems: I cant find my pdf/ibooks on computer after backing up my iPad (they are on my iPad). I looked under Ipad, I Books, PDFs, and it doesn't show them on the computer. How do I manually transfer these files?
Also, I'm having issues with my Ipad turning off about every 2 minutes, and I want to restore it. I want to make sure all of the files are backed up before I restore. My trouble started when I was trying to update my IPad but it was taking too long (internet was scetchy) so I powered off...now Im having problems. I haven't tried to update again since this problem. Any suggestions? Should I restore? Should I update to 7.0.6? (currently 7.0.3).
Thanks,

Airport 802.11g and WIFI issues with Apple bluetooth keyboard

Hey guys, this thing start to drive me crazy, I bought a Apple BT keyboard but just recently I started to having problems with my wifi connection and apparently I think this is due to the BT keys.
I started to notice this issue when I moving with the laptop in another room where usually I had maximum Airport signal, now it's happening that the signal start to lose power and when is just to the minimum, internet or other net staff don't work anymore and after 5 minutes of this apparently "freeze" wifi status, the airport loose definitely the signal.
After that I need to turn off the Airport card, most of the time work but sometimes i need to turn off two times to get it works.
After I read different blogs and forum, I tried to change channel, use the interference robustness, anything, and at the ending I reinstalled Leo, still have this problem, so I started to turn off the bluetooth connection and it look's like when the signal start to lose power the network keep working, and than reprise the maximum power.
So I can really fix this issue or is another "well done" by Apple? It look's like the Apple industry getting so close to the trash world! I'm sorry for these last words but my disappointed in Apple getting bigger.
Thank you for anyone helps.
P.S. a friend of mine with a Macbook Pro, Snow Leopard and my same Airport Base station have the same issue.

GuyI just fixed for now the problem turning off the bluetooth keyboard when I have wifi issues, it's the only solutions!

WIFI issues with 2013 MBA

Hi
I would be most grateful for help with the following - I recently purchased a 2013 MBA (latest model) but have been having issues with the wifi speed. My broadband normally runs at 6-7Mbps (which I check regulary) but my MBA can only be described as slow when browsing simple web pages (the other pc's in the house don't have the same issues). I have checked the transfer rate on my WIFI in Network Utility and it sits at 144 Mbit/s so I am not entirly sure where the problems lies and why it is only affecting my MBA. I have tried switching channels but it has not helped. I am aware that recent MBA have issues with WIFI but not sure if these problems are related.
Thanks
Tim
