EA6300 Router's Wi-Fi won't stream media to any wireless device

I just purchased the router, and I set it up, and direct connect works fine, but media won't load on my wireless devices properly. Note, I'm referring to two different brands and types of devices (IPhone & Galaxy Tablet). Seeing that it wouldn't work on either, I ruled out the notion that it was my devices fault. My situation is odd, but it goes as followed. Once I boot on a device, it'll connect to Wi-Fi, and I'll open up Youtube, and I'll have time to stream one video, but after that, or even before I finish a video, the media just stops loading. The app loses all function. Youtube isn't the only victim. Facebook won't load videos or pictures, and my app store fails to function at all. The same thing happens with my IPhone. I talked to customer support via chat and phone, and they couldn't help. I'm hoping all you nice Tech-savy people will be nice enough to help me feel as if I wasted a lot of money on a router that, as of right now, I'm going to return. I'd appreciate any help possible.
I'm not sure if it helps, but I did own an outdated Linksys WRT120 router before this one, and it founctioned fine for 3 years, until the number of gadgets in our house increased.
Thanks again!

Hi RouterNoob1991,
Have you split the 2 wireless networks? If not, then change the name of the 5GHz network. You can also check the DownStream and UpStream bandwith of the Media Prioritization settings. If there is vaue, preloaded in there, change it to 0.

Can I connect 2 sony bravia's, a sony home theatre, 2 macbooks, 2 ipads, 3 iphones and a dell laptop and stream media from my apple devices to my tv?

Can I connect 2 sony bravia's, a sony home theatre, 2 macbooks, 2 ipads, 3 iphones and a dell laptop and stream media from my apple devices to my tv? I have a sony bravia 600 series and 700 series and a home theatre( sony 7100 series)

The only way to stream directly to your TV would be if it is an AirPlay-enabled device.
There are many AirPlay-enabled devices but I am not familiar with Sony's products. If yours do not specifically indicate AirPlay capability, then you need an AirPlay-enabled device such as an AppleTV connected to your Sony TV or Sony AVR.

My ROKU is working fine over FiOS.
Are you getting some kind of error?
Are you connected wirelessly or wired?
Have you changed any router settings recently?
Are you having issues with any other devices in your home?

MacBook/Category Streaming Media

I have a MacBook. All the sudden I cannot access Netflix . The message says: Your page is blocked due to a security policy that prohibits access to Category Streaming Media .
Any suggestion, anyone?

BDP-S3100 won't stream Amazon Prime

If anyone else has had this specific problem and can shed some light I will be very grateful. This bluray player is about a year old. We've been using it to stream both Netflix and Amazon Prime for the past year. A few days ago we started having a problem with Amazon Prime. When the app starts it let's me browse for a show or movie without issue. I select what I want to watch and then it checks the internet connection. It reports the speed to be between 30 and 40 Mbps on average. The problem comes right before it would normally start to stream the video. It just sits there with the little wheel spinning, usually for about a minute before the message appears - "The network is down." I have checked to see if Amazon Prime is experiencing an outtage. When the problem first occurred it looked like maybe they were. One website showed numerous outtage reports for Amazon Prime right after Christmas. But currently there doesn't seem to be any widespread problem and I've not been able to stream for over a week now. My internet connection is fine. All other wired and wireless devices are not having any issues. I have reset my cable modem and router. This did not fix the problem. I have tried a wired and wireless connection to the bluray player. The problem exists both ways. I have reset the bluray player to its factory settings. This did not fix the problem. I have confirmed that I'm able to stream Amazon Prime on other devices using the same modem/router. We can stream Amazon Prime videos on our laptops without issues. That's everything I can think of that we've tried. I'm starting to wonder if the player has ****** out. It's just weird that I can browse online content, meaning the player is connecting to the internet, but when it tries to stream a video it fails.

This is just my personal theory, so please take it with a grain of salt. Sony got hacked right after Christmas and that's when the trouble started. At first it didn't make sense to me that this would be the cause because Amazon servers would be responsible for streaming my instant video, not Sony's. But it's rumored that Sony BD devices are routing through Sony services on the way to requesting streaming video from Amazon. If that is true (and I don't know if it is) then I wonder if Amazon put some additional security measures in place following the Sony hack. In other words, Amazon says "ok Sony, you obviously have some security issues so we are going to put the kybosh on requests for video coming through you". End result - Amazon Prime customers can't access streaming video through Sony's BD devices, but they can by just about any other means. Also, Sony BD devices continue to stream other services like Netflix and Hulu, but just not Amazon Prime. Fast forward a couple of weeks - Sony develops a system udpate that allows their Amazon Prime app to comply with Amazon's new security requirements. Sony BD device owners (like the poster above) perform the update and voila, they can stream Amazon Prime again. Again, that's just my theory. I have not heard any of the above from Sony or Amazon. But tonight I'm going to do the system update when I get home and see if it fixes my issues across the board. As of this morning it was still very random. One video willl play and the next won't.

2nd generation Apple TV won't stream iTunes content

I upgraded the software on my 2nd generation Apple TV about ten days ago and now it won't stream my iTunes content that is on my PC (Windows 7) upstairs. I keep getting the message that the Home Sharing feature on iTunes is not turned on, however, that is definitely not the case. I am running the latest version of iTunes and have tried restarting, restoring, and resetting Apple TV but nothing has worked. My router and cable modem are working fine and I am able to stream content from my iPad and iPhone to the Apple TV via AirPlay. For some unknown reason, the icon in iTunes that lets me decide which speakers I want to use via AirPlay (iPod vs Apple TV) is not present in iTunes. I can't figure out how to fix this problem.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Netflix won't stream video

I just set up a new Apple TV unit and can't get netflix to stream. My account is active and I can sign in and see up to date viewing history. It just won't stream when I press play, it will just show the circular shape made up of radial lines moving and this last time "an error occurred loading this content." Message shows up... Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

I guess all it took was me making a post... It's working now!

ICloud TV and movies won't stream on iPad4 and iphone 5

iCloud TV and movies won't stream on iPad4 and iphone 5.. I get a black loading screen then it reverts back to the movie or tv show page after about to seconds any ideas? Server glitch on apples end?

FCC rules prohibit Verizon from locking down the SIM slot on new devices as part of the agreement for the wireless spectrum auction that they won. There have been numerous reports of issues with some functions from people using the Verizon iPhone 5 on other carriers. Basic phone functionality should work, however, the Verizon and AT&T networks use incompatible LTE frequencies.
The Verizon iPhone 5 has never been advertised or otherwise officially represented as "Unlocked". Apple does not use the term "Factory Unlocked" at all.

Here's my dilemma...my iPhone will connect to my wireless router in the room where the router is located but won't outside if the room ie my living room for example...any suggestions??

Here's my dilemma...my iPhone 4 will connect to the wireless router as long as I am in the room where the router is located but won't if I'm in a different room...any suggestions?

iPhone 4 does not support 5 GHz
In that case I would manually change the channel the 2.4 GHz is broadcasting.

Videos won't stream (eg youtube) and safari very slow

Hi, I have 2 problems and would really appreciate any help
1 - safari very slow to open pages and has been like this for weeks. I have seen a solution to change to 'opendns' under System preferences > network > advanced tab but I cannot see an option for that. I think this may be my problem as Google always opens quickly. Can anyone elaborate on this solution?
2 - Videos won't stream and just hang with circle (e.g on sites like youtube) which started about 1 week ago. Only thing I have done differently is watching megavideos on unknown site. I have tried the solutions given under other threads (e.g. deleting cache files and uninstalling and reinstalling adobe flash). This seemed to help slightly the first time I tried it but still took approx 60s to stream 1 minute video. Has now reverted back to not streaming.

To set up a test account, open System Preferences > Accounts, click on the padlock icon to unlock it, then click on the "+" sign, name the account "test" and leave the password field blank, since you don't need the account that long; you can delete it later.
Quit System Preferences, log out of the regular user account and into the test account, then try using Safari to load pages and videos to see if the problem continues there.
Other things you can try in your regular user account that may help your problem or solve it are this:
1. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Web Page Previews and delete the contents of that folder.
3. If you don't want to use the Top Sites or Cover Flow features, open Terminal and paste in this command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSnapshotsUpdatePolicy -int 2
then press Enter or Return and quit Terminal
4. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
5. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
6. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete these files (if you have them):
Downloads.plist
History.plist
Form Values
LastSession.plist
WebpageIcons.db
Then Repair Permissions, restart Safari and see if the speed is improved.

QT/your computer is trying to tell you it doesn't know how to play the content you are trying to watch. Install and use the appropriate QT codec component or dedicated media player for each particular type of streaming content you are trying to view. Basically you need to find out what compression format is being used and the select a component or player made to display it.

Won't sleep after install of wireless router

I bought a D-link WBR-2310 wireless router and installed it between the internet modem and my iMac. Everything is working good after configuring the router but my iMac won't sleep now. Its like the iMac is picking up a constant signal from the D-link via the ethernet port. Any thoughts?
Thanks

To Apple Discussions!
First check the sleep settings in Energy Saver preferences. If everything looks correct and..........
If you are using a cable modem turn your computer & the cable modem off. After about 30 seconds - 1 minute, turn the modem back on first, then turn your computer on.
Please post back your results.

Mac Pro won't stream from Netflix

Mac Pro 2 x 3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon, 9 Gb RAM, OS X 10.6.7. Used to be able to stream Netflix Instant Watch movies up to about a year ago, when I got an iPad and switched to watching Netflix stuff on that. But yesterday I tried it on the Mac Pro again and a message informed me "Our apologies -- instant watching is not supported on your operating system." I use Safari 5.0.5 and meet all the other Netflix requirements for streaming on a Mac.
On a separate internal hard drive of my Mac Pro, I have OS x 10.5.8 and Safari 5.0.5, and am still able to stream Netflix movies fine if I boot up in that. But I can't steam them when booted into 10.6.7 for some reason. Any ideas?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
