Lose Network even during streaming!

OK, so I have 2 brand new ATVs (Canadian version if that matters). Linksys WRT160N router. Not only do I have to reset my wireless every morning on the ATV- but during streaming from my Mac's iTunes (which I turned off all power saving except for the screen)- it will still loose connection- and go back to the main screen. This is frustrating as my Wii nor my Samsung BluRay ever do this over wifi. It has to be something ATV related unless someone else has an idea.
Another odd thing- one ATV will see around 10 wireless routers in my neightbourhood and the other will only see mine- they are about 100 feet apart on the same floor. I even did a reset and it didn't solve anything.
I think the ATV needs a fix to keep a persistant connection and also not freak out if it does get a minor disconnect (which is annoying as it will just jump back to the main menu).
***** having a 1.0 device sometimes.
Still love the bugger though- what an awesome device when it is running (minus some obvious updates that will be needed like saving favorites in the various modules)

Same problem, keeps losing connection when in home sharing playing music and reverts to main menu so to get your music back you have to go back through the menu to start music up again.
Yet when not home sharing I can stream music from my iTunes library by selecting Appletv under speakers and it never loses the connection.
So there must be a problem with home sharing that causes the signal to drop out randomly.

  • HT203422 Poor Apple TV Playback During Streaming

    Equipment - MacBook Pro, Apple TV Gen 2, Airport Extreme.  Purchased/Downloaded a movie from iTunes to my MBP then tried to watch it from the Apple TV with connection to Computer - Not Streaming from iTunes.  We weren't able to watch it because it constantly stopped to buffer.  I have good signal strength on Wireless with nothing else on network at the time.  I contacted Apple Support but the technician just said I need a good Broadband Internet connection even while streaming over Airplay.  I live in the sticks and have poor Internet connection which is why I chose to buy the movie and stream it locally.  The Apple Support Technician could provide no answer why just the comment that I still need Broadband Internet connection.  This is counter-intuitive and I hope I can get a better explanation or solution.

    Make sure you are accessing the Computers icon, if you are under the Movies icon then it will be accessing the cloud.
    If you are under computers, then the issue is with the local network.
    Checking signal on device isn't going to be accurate, you need to get a network report by going to istumbler, netstumbler or similar. That will give a proper indication of signal speed, noise, and also show nearby networks.
    Using ethernet will also help rule out wifi issues.

  • Advice on Apple TV Pausing During Streaming (Apple Remote App too)

    With all the talk and excitement of the new Apple TV, I'm not sure if this problem applies. I'm not sure if the new Apple TV streams movies like the old one did.
    Regardless, I have had some difficulty with my 40GB Apple TV that I finally figured out after months. I'll describe my network, describe the problem and solution, and why that solution works.
    1. My network.
    I have:
    an iMac connected wirelessly to an Airport Extreme
    a Western Digital hard drive connected via ethernet to my Extreme. My movie library is here
    an newer airport express (N) connected to my stereo on the main floor
    an older airport express (G) connected in the basement with my XBOX connected to it via ethernet
    an Apple TV in the basement.
    2. The problem
    When I'm streaming movies, it often works just fine. However, sometimes, during a movie, the playback pauses as if Apple TV needs to re-cache the movie or something. It will pause for about 10 seconds or so then keep playing. When it starts to play again, the movie jumps forward the 10 seconds to the current playing point. This then works for anywhere from another 30 seconds to several minutes. When this pausing occurs, if you click the Apple remote to bring up the status bar, you can see the timeline of the movie continue to move along. Then, other times, the whole thing will somehow cure itself and start working again.
    Unrelated but later found to be related problem with Apple remote on iPod touch
    Sometimes, trying to connect to my iTunes library, it couldn't connect and I'd get the message that my firewall is getting in the way. You'll see as it turns out, this isn't the problem.
    How I found the solution
    When this pausing occured, I would unplug the Airport Express in the basement. This is the one the XBOX is connected to. After a couple of seconds, I'd plug it back in. On the TV screen, it would revert back to the movie list and show that there were no movies to play. Then, after a couple of seconds, my movie list would reappear. I'd restart my movie and it would work just fine.
    Here's what was happening
    Somehow, I configured my Airport Express router in the basement to be an extention of the network The problem is that the Express in the basement was G speed and not N speed (I think that was the problem). Sometimes, Apple TV would connect to the Express router in the basement rather than my Airport Extreme router upstairs. When this happened, the pausing during streaming would occur. This also makes sense now that the movie list would briefly disappear when I'd unplug my Airport Express in the basement. The connection would be lost but then a few seconds later, Apple TV would find Airport Extreme and reconnect. Then it would work perfectly.
    I also noticed two separate networks coming up when I did a network scan. I would fire up my WIndows laptop and do a network search. I would get two separate instances of 'Mynet'. One would be N speed and the other would be G speed. This now also makes sense since one of them was my Express and the other was my Extreme.
    The solution
    I did two things. I swapped the two Express routers so I had the N speed router in the basement connected to the XBOX. I also configured the network so it was 'all the same network'. Now, when I do a network scan on my Windows laptop, I no longer get the two separate instances of 'Mynet' coming up.
    Since then, I have never had a problem streaming movies nor have I had a problem with my Apple Remote app on my iPod Touch.

    I'm having similar problem.
    My set up:
    iTunes running on my MacBook C2D, 2GB RAM
    Movie contents are in an external USB2.0 HDD (7200rpm) attached to Airport Extreme (802.11n)
    Typical movie content is mp4 file with 1.8mbps bitrate.
    When my MB is completely idling state, ATV gets data w/o pausing.
    When MB is doing some task (web browsing, etc), no problem.
    When iTunes starts downloading some video podcasts (to MB, not syncing to ATV).... the movie streamed to ATV gets paused and gets into the same state as gjbonnington described.
    Any idea how to solve??
    MB C2D (Black, 2GB RAM) Mac OS X (10.4.9)
    Powerbook G4 15 (1.33GHz, Combo Drive) Mac OS X (10.4.2)

  • E4200 - Plug in external USB drive & lose network connection

    Hi - I have the Linksys E4200 [version 1] and my wireless network is set up and configured. I'm browsing with no issues.  Within Linksys setup, FTP & UPnP are enabled.  I have a 500GB Toshiba external USB [2.0] hard drive [E05A050DAU2XM].  When I connect it to the E4200 the data light on the modem goes off within 10-20 seconds & I lose network connection.  I've tried leaving the drive plugged in and rebooting either/both the cable modem and the router but network connection is not restored until I disconnect the drive & power cycle the router.  Not sure what is happening.  The modem is a Cisco DPC3010 DOCSIS 3.0.  I should also say that this was happening with, I believe, firmware version 1.0.01.  I updated to Ver.1.0.06 (build 3) & the issue is still occurring.  Thanks so much for anyone who could lend their advice!

    It maybe a drive size problem that maybe the problem and not compatible. If a smaller size drive works and the larger does not. then this could be the issue. I don't recommend any drives over 500Gb to 1Tb on the USB. The larger the drives are the more problematic the issues can be and should a drive become full, the longer processing of the information will be come and USB is not the best performance for handling large file xfers and should not be used like dedicated NAS.Some routers are just not compatible with large size USB drives. If you need a large size drive for files and streaming, a dedicated NAS device would be suggested and prefered over USB drives. 

  • Can't find/connect to my hidden network even though everything is entered correctly.

    Hi, ive been connected to a hidden network on my macbook pro for the past week and everythings been fine. I had to manually ask to join other network and enter the network name, security type and password and it worked first time...
    However, I accidentally connected to another open network yesterday and, quite frankly - its a terrible one and want to go back to the hidden network that i was connected to.
    This time, it cannot find the network even though ive entered everything in again correctly just as i did the first time. The password, Security type and Name are all exactly the same and havent been changed but yet it wont discover it...
    Any help... please

    Anyone??? I desperately need to get this working... :/

  • Computer loses network connectivi​ty with HP Photosmart Premium All In One C309a software installed

    I am having an issue where my computer (Window XP Media Edition SP3) will loose all network connectivity after some variable amount of time when my HP Photosmart Premium All In One C309a drivers and software are installed. I cannot access the internet or other computers on my network from the affected computer until it is rebooted. When I uninstall the drivers and software, I do not encounter the loss of network connectivty. When I reinstall, the problem starts again. Within 24 hours, I will lose network connectivity requiring a restart. I have the software and drivers installed on another computer running Windows XP Professional SP3 without problems. Both computers are connected via ethernet cable to the network. The printer is connect to the network wirelessly. The printer works fine initiall from the affected computer but then after some variable amount of time computer seems to lose network connectivity. The driver installed is HP Photosmart C309a series (61.81.634.0). Thanks in advanced.

    There are a few things to check.
    First, is your security software getting in the way, here?  Disable it to test.
    Second, have you downloaded this firmware patch for your printer? 
    Third, did you install this software? 
    We'll go from there...

  • Hyper-V 2012 R2. RemoteFx. "The remote session was disconnected because there were network problems during the licensing protocol. Please try connecting to the remote computer again."

    After a Installation from Windows 8.1/windows 7 everything works fine. For example  Install updates and Software. If I connect the first time a remotefx card i can use RDP as well. But if i restart the host I get the mentioned error. What can I do. These
    Hosts are not in a domain configuration. I tried it too but there was  no difference. I didn't discovered any errors in the eventlog, too. Only an actviex error. But same errors occurs with a succsefull rdp session.
    Also strange is if i start the vm without a remotefx card it works fine again. Only session with a Remotefx card aren't possible anymore.
    Is there a bug or something. I tried it many times with the same error.
    Maybe someone can help me. 
    kind regards  
    Tobi

    Hi Tobi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    For a workaround, please try to perform the two steps.
    1. Do NOT enable RDP 8 on the Windows 7 SP1 VM.  You should install RDP 8 and update the ICs though.
    2. Change the connection setting on the client from "Automatically detect" to "LAN"
    Please check again below thread for information.
    a. "The remote session was disconnected
    because there were network problems during the licensing protocol" after enabling RemoteFX Windows 8 VM
    (Please recheck answer by “dgeddes”)
    b. "The remote session
    was disconnected because there were network problems during the licensing protocol" After Installing RemoteFX
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks,

  • I downloaded the new 7 update and now my iPad won't charge to 100% and loses power even when not in use ?

    i downloaded the new 7 update on my ipad. it now will not charge to 100% and loses power even when not in use. any solutions ??

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
    Then plug it in and let it fully charge.

    My ipod keeps searching for network, even when the network info is all set properly. It has suddenly started doing this. Also, buffering forever... I have tried to reset the network few times, but not working.

    Hello Nazer_502,
    I would be concerned too if my iPhone was acting this way.  It sounds like it is overheating and not holding a charge. I recommend following the steps listed below when experiencing an issue like this:
    Battery life seems short
    Click ( www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html) for tips on how to prolong iPhone's battery life.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    Connect iPhone to iTunes and restore iPhone.
    If the screen shows a low-battery image, the battery is low on power and needs to charge for up to ten minutes before you can use it.
    When charging iPhone, make sure to leave it charging until it is fully charged. You'll know the battery is fully charged when the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen looks like this .
    Note: When charging using a computer, don't connect iPhone to a keyboard. Also, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPhone battery may drain.

  • Handling Network failure during data transfer from ECC to PI

    Hi,
    We have created a custom program in ECC to push invoice header information to PI using the proxy call.
    We're able to successfully now push these data to PI without any issues.
    However, there is a comment from client like if there is an unexpected error such as system or network failure during transferring data from ECC to PI, then how is it being handled from ECC side?
    I'm left with no answers. I know the messages will be stucked in SMQ2 or SMQ1 but we need to find out how can resend those data to PI in case of such failures. Documents in ECC are either posted or parked or payment totally based on real time process and based on each ECC event such as parked or posted or reveresed, we are sending one message to PI respectively. But how can we resend these invoices incase of an unexpected error?
    If we go with an ad hoc process, how do we implement this process for each document which is being created or rejected.
    Thanks,
    Shamim

    Hi,
    The queue will automatically restart if the problem was connection issue. In case of system failure you need to check and start them manually.
    check http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/f3/df5f3cb0decb09e10000000a114084/content.htm
    To check for any problems you can use CCMS monitoring.
