Lost wireless IP address when synching apple TV

Question

I loose the IP address and access to internet on my wireless time machine. It happens every time I try to synch large files from my computer to my apple TV through iTunes. Internet connection is reestablished after a power reset of the Time Machine, however, the problem reoccurs when I attempt to synch my apple TV. Anyone experiencing the same? Any solutions? Very annoying!

Answer 1

Shouldn't clients that do a ipconfig /release and /renew pull a new IP address though? Or if they are rebooted?
No, most of the time client is requesting the previous IP it had. Most of the cases your DHCP server will issue the same IP for the client unless that IP address given away to any other client. What is the DHCP lease time for those clients ?
In general when a client associate to AP, then the WLC who manage that AP will check any other WLCs in the mobility group to see if that client is a "new association" or a "roamed client". If any other WLC has that client information (not cleared from its database) then it will treat as roamed client & traffic is tunnel back to original WLC (anchor), even though client is associated to an AP managed by a different WLC (foreign). In that way client IP will remain, even though client roam from place to place.
