ATV2 Netflix wireless - I give up

I'll call Applecare, might be a hardware problem. I can watch 10 minutes or so and then it hangs, it has gotten very annoying. I even bought a new router, same symptoms. My Oppo Blu-ray player with wireless Netflix is flawless.
I've tried the normal ATV2 resolutions (resetting, unplugging, etc.) with no luck. I've tried the 5ghz network as well as the 2.4ghz on the Netgear router. This is very frustrating especially since the wireless player works so well.
Any last suggestions?

You said you tried reset, but have you tried a factory restore? Netflix has been making some changes because of all the new business, so that could be part of it too (although I haven't noticed anything)
Are you able to try ethernet?

Wireless internet gives me local only since i changed modem / router

I was having problems with other computers using my ISP's modem now since i have swapped out the modem router combo with my own. My notebook will not connect to the internet all i will get is local only. If i use a cable it works, but what is the point of a notebook being tethered to the modem. I have checked for updates with HP but the one on HP's site is the current in my computer. HELP... please TYIA It is a Presario F700.

Hi:
No doubt your notebook has an Atheros AR5007 wireless card.
Install this driver and you should be good to go.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-108905-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
You may have to uninstall the current driver if this one doesn't over write it.
Check the device manager now (click to expand the network adapters category, click on the Atheros card, click on the driver tab) for the driver version and date.
Then compare it with this one.
You can read the info I provided regarding this issue at the link below.

Encryption software for WD MyPassport Wireless, please give feedback

I just started using this and it's very easy to set up. But I had to change the path in all your sh sript files to ENCFS=/home/root/wdcrypt/encfs from ENCFS=/home/root/encfs/encfs. I could have renamed wdcrypt folder to encfs, but I don't know whether that will affect anything else. Thanks for your contribution.

I created some software for storing encrypted files on the hard drive, please test it and tell me what you think! But do NOT use it to store anything valuable until you have at least tested it for a while and read some feedback from other users! https://github.com/maglar0/wdcrypt Read everything on there and try the demo of the web GUI (at https://maglar0.github.io/wdcrypt/?demomode=1 ), then grab the installation file located under "releases" on the github page.

Netflix audio on Apple TV

Hello, I am on Brazil and I have an Apple TV and an account sign up on Netflix Brazil.
The problem is, some movies or tv shows plays audio portuguese and another just dont play portuguese audio, and play english or spanish audio. I can enable the portuguese subtitles pressing the central round botton.
I already have on Settings enable the default audio for Portuguese. But some movies on the netflix still playing english or spanish audio. And some of this movies I know that have portuguese audio, because when I play the movie from netflix on my Mac I can choose the audio that I want.
So, my question is: is there anyway to choose the audio on apple tv (2G) while the movie is starting? Like I have the option to enable or disable the subtitles on the movie?
Just to add, yes, my Apple TV2 have the lastest OS.
If anyone can help me or tell me how to choose/change the audio of the movie while is starting please let me know how to do it.
I have an XBox360 and I can see netflix there, and gives me the option to choose audio and subtitles on the beginning of the movie.
Regards!

On ATV2 there are no audio options for Netflix films in Brazil. It dosent matter whether you have the ATV settings to English or not. You can only change the subtitles by pressing the centre button of the remote whilst streaming a film. This is a bug Apple have to fix, since you can change Netflix audio language on PS3, Ipad, MAC and PC. If you stream Netflix through your PC connected to your TV you have the audio/subs option at the bottom of the screen. Bu this defeats the purpose of having an ATV2. You, I and many others will have to wait..........and wait...... until the IOS 4.4.5 is delivered

AppleTV and Wireless Repeater

I have a ATV2 connected wirelessly to my network. My connection was somewhat weak so I purchased a wireless repeater to boost the signal (Asus RT-N12). The main router for the Network is a D-Link 655.
Once I hooked up the repeater, the speed/signal is much better. I am able to connect to Netflix and stream, but I cannot access my Library from my iMac. The iMac is also connected to the library wirelessly. Homesharing is on the entire time.
If I unplug the repeater, the connection is weak/slow again, but I can connect to the library. Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm having the exact same problem but I'm not sure I understood your instructions.
What I'm trying to do is to use airplay from my iPhone to my ATV2. When my iPhone is connected to the repeater and my ATV2 is connected to my primary wireless network, my iPhone doesn't show the option to airplay. When my iPhone and ATV2 are both connected to my primary wireless network it does.
The problem that you had ... was this the same as I described or was your problem that you couldn't use airplay when both devices were connected to the repeater?
Thanks

C4580 All-In-One suddenly lost wireless connection and I can't get it back.

I have a replacement C4580 after HP replaced the old one because of their dmaned regionalisation of printers.
It has been working fine through my wireless router, and I have been able to use it wirelessly on 2 different laptops, one running XP and the other running Win 7. both have the printer showing as USB and wirless, normally being used wirelessly. THhe USB is there 'just in case' like now apparently.
It seems that my wireless printer has disappeared from my Printers and Faxes in the XP machine, so I try to add it again. Can't detect any printers, so when it asks to be connected via USB it appears to be going through the setup, then I get Error #201 VSA.
Googled for an answer but haven't found anything useful. Seen a couple which suggest that the router is hiding the SSID (it's not) or that MAC filtering is being used. Again, it's not.
I went to the Win7 machine, and it shows the wireless and USB printers (2 versions of the same thing) but when I attempt to print a test page tot the wireless version, it says that it has been sent, and I can see it in the printer queue, but after a while I get Error-Printing which in typical HP software is as usual bloody useless as it doesn't tell you why it failed, or where to even start looking to correct whatever error there was.
I have altered nothing on any of the computers (knowingly, anyway) and both laptops communicate quite happily with the outside world through the wirless router.
I really am getting rather pi**ed off with HP and their latest software. I had a PSC 1210 prior to this and no problems with it at all. The hardware seems fine but the latest software leaves a lot to be desired.
Any ideas anyone, on what has happened here, and how it can be fixed - or do I just cut my losses and buy another printer, this time anything but HP - unless they're all doing the same sort of stuff.
I have tried turning the wireless function off and then on on the printer, but also no difference.
Additional info. As suggested in another post somewhere, I have done both a Network Configuration and a Wireless Network Test printout. The test report shows PASS against both Wireless On and Wireless Working, and FAIL against Network Name (SSID) Found, but then shows the Network Name (SSID) correctly under Configuration Summary!
The configuration page shows Netwok Status as offline, and under 802.11 Wireless it gives a MAc address then Status as Disabled.
I don't really know what it is trying to tell me?
Oh, accidentally I printed 2 Configuration pages. On one it says that the 802.11 Status is Disabled and on the other it says that it is Disconnected. Unfortunately, I don't know which one was done first. The Disconnected one may have been done when I turned the wireless off. Nope, I just did again with Wireless turned on (at least the light is showing) and it still showing as Disconnected.

Hi there KR,
Sorry to hear the reset is not working for you on your PS C4580. The steps for the reset are all correct and should have worked if the printer is in good functioning order.
I would suggest calling in to HP directly to see what your options are with them.
If you decide to call them, this is their contact info:
If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions: click here.
Have a great Tuesday

Infinity won't work wirelessly with Ubuntu OS

I'm running Ubuntu Netbook Edition and upgraded my BT broadband to Infinity on 28.12.11, using the same HomeHub3 that worked perfectly well with the old Total service.
It doesn't work, wirelessly. I can get an apparently strong connection, but its agonisingly slow. At the same time, an ethernet connection works well, When I switch from one to the other and test the speed, I can watch the bandwidth fall away (i.e.: it isn't immediately disconnected.)
Nobody at BT can or will help, telling me that Ubuntu is 'unsupported' (i.e.: it's my problem). I reported this problem to BT - ref: xxxxxx-xxxxxx - via its complaints form on 28.12.11, but have had no response.
I've spent much time this past week on internet help forums. It transpies that BT has known about this issue with Ununtu for six months, but has apparently done nothing about it and cannot suggest a solution.
Suggested workarounds from other Ubuntu users involve manually reconfiguring one's connection, but my netbook won't allow me to apply the changed settings, or to change the router settings from N to G tech., but that only worked temporarily for me and, besides, my netbook is only a couple of year old.
When I was sold Infinity, nobody mentioned that it doesn't work with Ubuntu. Frankly, I feel it was mis-sold as I intended to increase the bandwidth of my Total account and was persuaded to take Infinity on the grounds that it's a superior service for the same price. Not from where I sit, it isn't.
The only solution I can see is to get BT to switch me back to their Total service, which suited me fine. I'm going to get their engineer to come back and uninstall Infinity. I will also complain to Offcom, as this situation could easily have been avoided had the BT sales person told me that Infinity won't work wirelessly with Ubuntu.

Firstly your negotiating skills with BT are far better than mine....
"....Total account and was persuaded to take Infinity on the grounds that it's a superior service for the same price"
I was on BT Total BB and had to pay an extra £2 pm for Infinity and then an extra £4.75pm uplift of the calls package to give me the same anytime calls I had previously.... And had to re-start another 18month contract!!! Ohhh well.
Right onto the problem... Webby's suggestion of making sure your on a clear or least used wireless channel is good advice.
Here is the link to the free software http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/
Have a look at a demo,- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf2kZCfYTxI
To be honest I would move your HH3 from the Automatic setting to a fixed wireless channel as they seem to work better like that.
If your Operating System won't work with Inssider I would then just try a different channel starting at 1 and work up... seeing how things go.
Regarding setting your HH3 to wireless g, that is a very backward step as the most you'll get over that would be around 20Mbps depending on your distance from hub etc.
Couple of pics comparing my speed test over wireless g and n in THIS POST.
Another thing I would try is a wireless n USB adapter... just in case your m/c is only g
Links of how to identify what yours is and pictures of the difference in the "Network Sharing Centre".. 54Mbps being g and anything above is wireless n....
Wireless n gives the best speed assuming your Infinity download IP is more than 20Mbps. Also wireless n signal is more robust penetrating walls etc.
There are links to the type of wireless n adapters I use... Picture of one HERE, (Don't need the extender cable shown in that picture).
wwwebber's post was very useful.-
"I use Ubuntu on my laptop with BT Infinity & HH3 with no problems at all. BT is not at fault here - they do not support Ubuntu."
Confirming Infinity and Unbunto do work...
You say ".....but my netbook won't allow me to apply the changed settings, or to change the router settings .... but that only worked temporarily for me......"
As changing settings worked temporarily you must have been able to log into your HH3.
If you really can't log in can you borrow a friends netbook running windows to get logged in perhaps?
Log in,- http://bthomehub.home/html/home/home.html go to Advanced settings, wireless. and change Channel settings from Automatic to a channel number then click on Apply.
I would place your laptop near to the HH3 and move the HH3 wireless channel to a clear channel or start at channel 1.
Try to get a good wireless n speed..... example of mine 37Mbps over http://www.speedtest.net/
Then when you have a reasonable speed move your laptop away... you will notice a drop over distance that's normal.
I am 20' away from my HH3 and get 37Mbps through a plasterboard wall.
Regarding other routers people have used http://community.bt.com/t5/BT-Infinity/List-of-Routers-to-replace-Home-Hub-3/td-p/298203
And see Ady's msg #21 and #25 in THIS THREAD.

Streaming HD video from iMac to ATV2 too slow, but from iPhone4 works fine

When streaming HD (720p) video from iTunes on my iMac (2006 2Ghz Intel Core Duo) to my ATV2 it is painfully slow. So slow as to be unusable (watch 2 minutes, wait 5 minutes of buffering, watch 2 minutes...and so on). However, if I stream the exact same HD video from my iPhone 4 via AirPlay to the ATV2 it works perfectly. There's hardly even any initial buffering delay. The iMac, ATV2 and iPhone 4 are all on the same 802.11g WiFi network. What the **** could be causing such a difference in data transmission speeds between iMac and iPhone 4??
Is the AirPort in my iMac so much worse than the WiFi in my iPhone4?

TheOneAndOnly BiGMaC wrote:
The file is decreased in size from the size you have in your library in order to load on the iPhone and play there.
No, in this case the file is exactly the same size (1.95Gb). The iPhone 4 can handle 720p HD video.
A g network is plenty fast enough to stream 720p HD, which requires 4-5Mbps, a tenth of what a g network is technically capable of. In any case, the fact that I could stream the exact same file from my iPhone to the ATV2 via wireless shows the network itself is not the problem.
After doing some tests, it would appear that the wireless performance of the AirPort on my iMac is the culprit. My ISP connection is a 50Mbps fibre link, and in network speed tests my iPhone (sitting right next to my iMac) can get 8Mpbs whereas the iMac struggles to get 1Mpbs. Running ethernet to my iMac is not practical and in any case, the g network should be plenty fast enough for what I need. I need to try and figure out what's holding my iMac's AirPort back.

Sometimes cannot find wireless networks??

i've looked around on a couple messege boards, but they didn't seem to be exactly the same problem i was having.
essentially, after waking up from sleep or hibernate, i sometimes cannot find wireless networks. the wireless switch will be on, Fn + F5 says my wireless is on, yet nothing can be found. strangely, when i try to turn off wireless, whether it's through Fn +F5, or the hardware switch, the light below the monitor remains ON. basically, i can't even turn it off. when i do click the button to try and turn off wireless, it gives me the busy cursor and eventually the whole menu disappears.
the way to fix this is by restarting.
just today, however, i suffered this same problem, even though i wasn't coming back from sleep or hibernate - it just lost connection randomly and then couldn't find any networks. attempts to turn off wireless failed.
is there a solution? is this actually the same problem that was remedied by changing a power setting?
thanks in advance.

Yeah I'm having this problem too, with my antique T41 running XP. It used to be rock solid it seemed to change when I installed XP SP3.
I have tried reinstalling the Intel drivers but that hasn't helped. It seems when it restarts after hibernate (and occasionally at other times, as with the previous poster) it somehow doesn't lock on to the signal or it gets confused in the protocol or something. It doesn't always happen though - about one in three. Rebooting cures it...until the next time....
any assistance / ideas most welcome, thanks.
PS I'm using Windows Zero Configuration not Access Connections. That was a change some years ago that made it work better so I'm inclined to stick with that unless someone can tell me why not....

AirPort Extreme conection cuts out! Wireless Connection problems, Solved!?

If you are having the same problem I was with not being able to stay connected wireless to internet using OS X 10.5.6 and Airport....
Try this......
Fingers Crossed its working! For now 3 days and still going.
Open Airport Utility
when your base station shows up ( good luck it kept vanishing when I did this )
in Manual Setup / Summary
Wireless mode > access > MAC Address Access Control Local
(set up every devise you want to connect to - Wireless clients gives you the codes)
Wireless options > (tick) Create a closed network and Use interference robustness
Hope this works for you all too and keeps Working!

FYI we aren't the only ones with this issue. Check out this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8577849&#8577849
I have the EXACT same problem, intermittent bars, click on the network name and you get brief connectivity, and - perhaps most importantly -- this only really started in the last 4 - 6 weeks or so. There must have been some weird update back in November/December.
Unfortunately Apple is doing it's usual thing: No response.

I am unable to get netflix to work in safari after installing silverflight - 3rd tech support place today

After cancelling netflix due to this issue, I decided to try again since i wanted to watch a few things unavailable trhough other sources. After speaking with netflix tech support and making sure my system met requirements, following instructions, deinstalling, and many restarts, a few times, they refered me to Microspft tech support, followed online instructions, no change, called their tech suppoty line, followed same instructions again, and they reffered me here, or to call Apple. At this point, about to cancel account again, but figured since I am in a free period with netflix, I would give it a few days and see if I can find any suggestions.
Thanks!

does silverlight show as installed at http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx ?
you get sound & video at http://web.sldrm.video.msn.com/d1/sldrm.html ?
or what exactly doesn't work at Netflix & which browser(s) & OS version are you using ?

Can Officejet 6100 wireless print without network?

We just purchased a Officejet 6100 to use in a vehicle for commercial vehicle enforcement. We would like to use it to print wirelessly directly from a laptop without a network or cable. Is this possible with this printer? If not do you have a suggestion before I rip it out of the box? Our hopes it that it would connect with the laptop wirelessly and give the ability to print.

Wireless signal very weak

I have a 32GB iPad that continues to have difficulty in maintaining a strong wireless signal. I am using a 1 TB Time Capsule (latest firmware) running 802.11n (b/g compatible) with WAP2 Personal as security. The other wireless devices on it receive a good, strong signal. This includes a MBP, an iPhone and a Wii. I've found that at my office I also occasionally have this problem.
I see that this discussion group is filled with people having the same or similar problems, so I thought I'd start a thread that dealt with the weak signal problem only. Anyone else out there seeing this problem?

Try using a WiFi extender. It will take your existing Wifi (regardless of the type of router you have) and extend / boost your Wireless to give you much stronger signal and additional range..
Here is a good one:
