ATV2 kicking other devices offline

I've read threads about ATVs that disconnect themselves after sleep, but that's not my problem. I have a new ATV2 that effectively shuts down the internet for any other device on the network when it's in use, actually requiring a physical reboot of the modem and router when it goes off. This is when streaming from iTunes, not downloading video (I imagine it would be the same; I haven't tried to download anything). This is a house where an Xbox running Live Arcade, a Wii streaming Netflix, 3 computers online, and an iPod Touch playing an online game can all peacefully coexist, but not a single thing can get purchase when the ATV is on. Any settings I can change, anything that will help short of a dedicated DSL line?

There are several common issues that are quite widespread on this device, one of which is network issues after adding the ATV2 to the network. Your Apple zealots will immediately say its your network and not the ATV2. They believe that although your network works flawlessly with X number of other devices, something is wrong with the network if the ATV2 does not work properly with it Could be true in some cases but its hard to believe that 10 other devices working in harmony on a network are the problem devices.
Personally I am not having any network issues that stand out or prevent me from using the ATV2 but Im not the type that believes that if it works for me, all those who have problems must not being doing something right.
All you can do on you end is start eliminating suspects. I would start with making sure your router firmware is current. If not update it. If it is up to date and the problem is still there then try to borrow a different brand/model router. If you have to go buy one to see if it fixes the issue. If it does not then you have a legitimate reason to return it.
Mine is going back while within my 30 day return period for the video stutter issue. I have seen it on far to many units and seen far to many posts about it to believe its not a legitimate issue. Once Apple fixes it then I might grab another one.

  • How do i kick other devices off my time capsule?

    I'm using a Macbook Pro running 10.8.4 and i have a 2tb time capsule. Under Airport ultility under wireless clients i see someone else's laptop that i don't want connect. How can i just put a block on their computer?

    Are you willing to change both the name of your wireless network and the password?

  • Time Capsule Airport Express kicks devices offline

    I've got a third gen Time Capsule, and lately it's been kicking my devices offline for a few seconds at a time.
    it's real sporadic right now.
    It started with my wife's iPhone 4. It would kick her off pretty regularly.
    Then, it started to happen occasionally on my iPhone 4S.
    Today, it happened for the first time on my MacBook Air and MacBook Pro.
    Anyone know anything to try?
    I haven't been able to find anything as of yet...

    Hmmm Gen 3 TC can have nasty board issues..
    Assuming it hasn't got to that point.
    Try resetting the wireless.. Use SMB names for wireless.. short, no spaces.. pure alphanumeric
    And change the channel allocation from auto to manual.. test channels 1, 6, 11 in turn.. they are the only non-overlapping.
    Also check the wireless clients in the TC log.
    That may show something interesting.

  • My printer kicks all my other wireless devices offline when I connect it to my new router.

    I have the 6500 wireless printer (e709n model).  When I connect my printer to my home network it kicks all other devices that are connected offline (laptops, desktops, ipad, ipods, etc.).  If I turn the printer off and reset the modem then all those devices can connect again but the printer isn't.   I've tried numerous times and each time the printer is turned on and connected to the router I have the same result.  I am using a Net Gear router (model N900).  Anyone seen this before?

    Herculean,
    Thanks for sharing that post.
    Definitely some great tips.
    That was the direction I was headed in and hope it resolves the issue at hand.
    Another step that can help is to set a static IP address in the printer itself.  The steps for this can be located by clicking on Support & Drivers at the top of this page and entering your product model.  Once the support page for your printer loads, select Solve a Problem and then Wireless Networking.  The steps should be located in a document that is titled Printer Does Not Maintain a Wireless Connection (wording may be slightly different).  
    The trick here is to either leave the DNS servers blank or to use Google's public DNS servers (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) instead of the router as a DNS server.  I have seen this resolve similar issues, though they are rare.

  • Atv2 streams from Netflix @ 1/10th of speed of the other devices

    ps3, ipad2, & desktop pc all pull around 9Mb/s [12Mb/s service] via cat5 AND/OR .n from AEBS.
    The ATV2 pulls from .75-1.2Mb/s from Netflix, according to their tech support.
    swapped out cat cables, rearranged which cable goes into which lan port on router, still the same thing.  Called Uverse, they ran line tests, came out to house, nothing wrong (obviously if others are connecting ok).
    Apple has offered to swap out the Atv2, just wondering if anyone has had this issue and solution.  Netflix states that its not on their end.  Other than this Atv2 works fine.
    Will wait a week to update to new 4.3 F/W out today 1AUG2011.
    All other devices current with F/W, and nothing is jailbroken etc...........
    Any comments appreciated.

    This crap just happened to me this morning where I was sent 90% data plan threshold warningfrom AT&T (while sleeping at 7:09am) then 5 minutes later getting the Overage data plan warning from AT&T.  This is all while I'm asleep right next to my phone plugged into a (non-Apple) dock on my clock radio.

  • HT1844 Library Issue:  I just imported 2 CD's into ITunes.  They show up in "Recently Added" and on my other devices via ITunes Match, but NOT in the ITunes software on the computer where I added them.

    Library Issue:  I just imported 2 CD's into ITunes.  They show up in "Recently Added" and on my other devices via ITunes Match, but NOT in the ITunes software on the computer where I added them.  They show up in the search box, but when I click on the results it just kicks me to ALL my music.  I have imported thousands of songs/CD's before and this is a new one.

    Something may have gone wrong with the index of the Music playlist. Making another change to the library such as downloading the current iTunes Free Single of the Week, or deleting one track from your library and reimporting it, should fix the problem.
    If that doesn't work close iTunes and delete the hidden file sentinel from inside the main iTunes folder, then start iTunes again. It should run a consistency check when it starts up which ought to correct things.

  • Device offline in PE 3

    I've been using PE 3 for years on my old Windows XP PC.  I'm trying to get it to run on my laptop which is now my main computer. The laptop uses Vista. Installation goes OK, but when I try to capture (through a Firewire connection) I get the 'Device Offline' note.  In the Device menu options section, the 'Check Status' says 'Online'.  I've tried out nearly every combination of setting, but still the Device Offline message keeps coming up.  I tried my setup again on the old PC, and it still works on that machine, but I'm trying to de-commission it as it's too slow.  Is there any well-known reason for this not working on the more upto date laptop which I may have missed?  I know PE3 is old technology, but I like it and am used to it.  The laptop has only a 1.83Gh processor, otherwise I may be tempted to try PE 10, which requires at least 2Gh.  Thanks for any answers you ay have. David.

    Well, Capture to a DV-AVI file is not totally lossless. The transfer of the bytes of data IS lossless - just 1's and 0's, but when one goes to the DV-AVI will compress those data slightly (not enough to really see, unless one were to look very, very closely).
    Now, Windows Movie Maker (not the Live version, which has other limitations) will only allow one to Export to DV-AVI Type I. PrE is built around DV-AVI Type II. One difference is that with Type I's, there is a Duration/File Size limit, but few ever reach it. Unfortunately, I cannot recall what it is, but you can still get some pretty long Duration files, and never hit that. However, next there can be some OOS (Out Of Syn) issues with the DV-AVI Type I's, though not always. When there is, it is most often static, and does not drift over time. That is very easy to fix in PrE, should it happen.
    Instead of using WMM to Capture, one might want to explore SceneAlyzer, which is the capture module, that many users feel Adobe should have incorporated. It has some really good features, and seems to work well on the vast majority of computers, with a wide array of miniDV tape cameras.
    Good luck,

  • Firefox sync error, changed password and on other devices the new password keeps giving me an error.

    Okay so I have several Linux devices in sync and one of them is synced also with a Microsoft 8 and the latest updates of Firefox. All of them are updated to the lastest. I had to change my password becaue for some odd reason the pass I wrote down was not being registered in my computer. Now because of that I had to change it for all of the other devices and none of them are detecting the new firefox password change. It just seems like a round circle where I change pass, and I have to continue to do that but each device wants to do the same thing.
    What could be done is there some bug with respect to this!? Thanks.

    Please let me confirm what you are saying: when you change the password on one device, all of the other devices connected to the account are not disconnected and continue syncing?
    [Bug 987719 - If user changes FXA password as Syncing client, don't kick them out of Sync]- this is outdated I think*
    Do the other devices ever prompt you for a new password? And if you check about:sync-logs are there any errors after the time you changed the password on one of the devices?
    Edit* ignore this post, though these are the steps we would take if there is a bug for future reference.

  • Capture Device Offline error message

    Hi,
    I have a new iMac and am not able to capture video.  I get the "capture device offline" message.  I am having to use a Thunderbolt.  When I use the same camera settings on my old Mac in FCP, it works fine.  Any thoughts?  Thanks.

    Is a "Thunderbolt" a Firewire device?

  • Cannot get new token due to device offline state. Id error 40760

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
    2) Resend Service Books
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
    3) Reboot
    With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
    See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    If not, then please try this sequence:
    1) Remove AppWorld from your BB
    KB10040 How to view or remove installed applications on a BlackBerry smartphone
    If it requests that you reboot the BB, do so
    2) Do a Batt-Pull reboot (power on, remove battery, wait, insert battery, wait), even if redundant to the one you did in step 1.
    3) Install (on your BB) a fresh copy of AppWorld
    http://blackberry.com/appworld/download
    Again, if it requests to reboot, do so.
    4) Do another Batt-Pull reboot
    5) See if it now works.
    Otherwise, you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
    Good luck!

  • Will the Iphone thieves get access to transfer my pictures in Camera Roll to any other devices?

    My Iphone was stolen 5 days ago. In that day, after missing for an hour, I turned on Find My Iphone on my laptop and set Erase Device. But until now it still appears Offline and the Erase Device is still pending (waiting for Iphone to connected to the internet).
    I remember I turned on Find My Iphone on device's Icloud settings, but not on Locations.
    The problem is, I put a sensitive pictures of me in that iPhone Camera Roll right before it was stollen.
    I'm okay with the lost iPhone, I just want the device to erase every data in it.
    I put a Lock Screen, but the passcode is really easy (The thief might find it). I hadn't set the erase all the data after 10 failed passcode attempts.
    Would you help me to explain whether the Iphone's thief has a chance to transfer my pictures in Camera Roll to any other devices?
    -thank you-

    Did you restore your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup, or as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup?
    Sounds like you did the former since photos in your iPhone's camera roll are included with your iPhone's backup. If there is a problem with these photos included with your iPhone's backup that were restored from your iPhone's backup, or another problem with your iPhone's backup, restoring from your iPhone's backup will restore the problem.
    Try restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.
