Stream over WiFi

I am a huge fan of Streaming from my Mini to my AppleTV. I recently had to disconnect the Ethernet connection between my Mini and ATV and go with wireless instead. Although i can still see all the movies on my ATV they stream at an unusably slow rate. I went from 100MB ethernet through a Dlink Router with both devices connected to a 802.11g through the same router to both devices. is it normal that i can barely stream at all now (music seems to work, but not movies)? Will it improve if the Mini is connected via ethernet and the ATV is wireless? Will 802.11n make a big or marginal difference?

Thanks to everyone who posted. I was able to get great performance simply by connecting the Mini directly to the router and the ATV over wireless G. The wireless G on both devices causing a drastic slowdown is still a mystery, but one i don't have to worry about anymore. BTW, my wife thanks all of you because my default solution would have been to just go by a new APE with N, but now i can apply the cash to a new MBP. :):):)

  • Slow streaming over wifi using ipad

    Why is streaming over wifi slower than over cellular connection?  Other devices don't have the same issue.

    generally we all think and expect wifi will be faster than a cell connection.  But that will not always be the case.  A good uncongested LTE runs pretty fast.
    But the wifi should be fast enough that you wouldn't notice any issues unless:
    You are using a public wifi spot where the signal is metered.  Where I work, they clamp the wifi for guests at 250k.
    The wifi cannot run any faster than your internet connection.  Is it clean?
    Recent stoires here are explaining how verizon and Comcast have been allowing you tube and netflix feeds to become overcongested, in an effort to extract $$ from them for the privilange of sending you the signal.
    a good place to start is to get a speed app - like Speed test (there are a bunch in the store) and see what speed your wifi is delivering.
    One thing that is almost certain, your wifi is a whole lot cheaper than your cell signal!

  • Streaming over WiFi is not fluent

    When I stream video from my mac or iPad over wifi, video is not fluent, it is stucking. When I stream it from my mac over ethernet (apple tv is connected to my network by ethernet), it works just fine.
    These problems started after updating my Apple TV few months ago.
    Any idea? :/

    Hmm, I am trying to insert picture but it does not react at all..
    So I used my dropbox

  • Slow Fast Forward or stalls - streaming over wifi.

    To anyone who is interested,
    I was having problems trying to fast forward an HD film over my Wifi(g) network. For some reason, apple tv stalls if the fast forwarding out paces your buffering speed. In a nutshell, my network is fast enough to watch hd over but too slow to fast forward faster than X2.
    Does anyone know how to improve this setting? Apart from opting for a new router, wired and removing other wireless devices?
    For a short term solution for anyone out there, the remote feature on the iphone allows you to simply drag along the length of the film, similar to that of a film, and play from where you stop. EXTREMELY USEFUL when compared to the response-less rubbish that is the white remote!

    I have that problem all the time with synced HD video. If I fast forward or rewind, the video will start sputtering after that. I don't think it's your network, it's probably a glitch in the ATV.
    In any case, if you're streaming from a Mac via wifi, make sure you turn Time Capsule off. If it starts running while you're streaming, it will definitely degrade performance.

  • Help for Realplayer Streaming over wifi Timecapsul...

    I was successfully streaming radio and video (BBC) to the E71 over my home network - Mac Timecapsule being used as wireless router WPA2, password protected.
    All of a sudden it stops "unable to connect" message when the Realplayer app tries to open a stream. I can still get onto the web via the correctly defined same access point for email, web browsing etc, it is just Realplayer that can't get the streams. I can also access an unencrypted network in my house and this works just fine with the Realplayer streaming. Tried the usual reboots, no luck.
    I suspect it could be something to do with the router firewall settings, but as we haven't changed these and it worked previously I am a bit stuck.
    Any pointers would be gratefully received.

  • Live audio streaming over wifi network

    What I would like to know, is it possible to stream live audio over a wifi network.
    PC A records a stream from a mic and then simultaneously broadcasts that same stream live over the entire wifi network, sorta like a radio station only on a much smaller and simpler scale.
    Is this possible?

    It seems like I'm missing something with icecast. If I understand it correctly then you can only play an existing media file, no real time live broadcasting?
    I have finished setting it up and can listen in over the network, but I need real time broadcasting. Is there a way to do this in icecast or should I look at something else.
    SYNOPSIS:
    While someone is talking over the mic the server records the stream with Audacity for editing later on. The problem is that I want this stream to be simultaneously streamed live to another PC so that people next door to the meeting can hear it real time, no delays. A few seconds delay is not critical, but I cannot record and hour long session and then broadcast it, it has to be real time.
    To complicate things, there is no internet available, we are in the middle of nowhere on a secluded convention centre, so that is why it seemed to me like the easiest would be to broadcast via WIFI.

  • Hi, I bought iTunes Match, all the songs are available to stream over wifi however when I am on 3G only a few songs are available and the rest of them are blanked out and unavailable to stream. How do I Solve this? thanks

    Some songs are available but the majority are not.

    On the iPhone open Settings > iTunes and App Stores and set "use cellular data" to ON (green).

  • Streaming video over WiFi very slow

    Hi, I started to dealing this unpleasant issue since I guess I updated to last firmware on my Apple TV. Now when I want to stream video from my MacBook or iPad over wifi, the picture is not fluent at all. It is cut (not sure about this word). When I connect my MacBook through ethernet cable, it works just fine. Apple TV is connected by cable to my network.
    Anyway I was able to stream practically any movie in any quality and it worked. No I cannot stream nothing at all! :/
    Does somebody experience the same issue?

    If you have an Apple Store nearby, book an appointment with the Genius Bar and get them to check it over.
    If you don't have an Apple Store nearby, take it back to the retailer and explain what's happening and see what they have to say.
    Or, you could call Apple Tech Support give them the details of the problem and see if they can suggest a fix.
    Before doing any of the above, you might want to try restoring the iPad to default settings and then set it up again (back up your iPad prior to this to preserve apps and date etc) to see if this rectifies the issue.
    Hope you get it sorted

    Depending on what kind of computer you have, you're gonna need to put that backup in the appropriate folder or itunes is not gonna be able to see it for you to use.

  • 320N Freezes when trying to transfer data over wifi

    I have the 320N and I am very frusterated.  I would just take it back, but I bought it brand new on Amazon.com, meaning I will have to pay shipping because I threw out the box and the return shipping form for RMA's!  I don't even know if Amazon will take it back without that paperwork, but anyway here's the issue...
    I don't have any N cards yet, but I upgraded to this router because my home internet service is faster than what my older WRT-54g could route.  This new router does route and I can now achieve the rated speeds of my ISP (50/10 mbps). 
    I can transfer large files 6+ GB WIRED between any of the LAN ports on this device.  However if I try to transfer much data over wifi, the router will simply stop working.  The lights on the front work fine, they blink like there is activity, and the power LED is solid, but it won't pass traffic and the wifi SSID dissapears.  I run a constant ping to the router (ping -t 192.168.1.1) and I get <1ms replies.  On my laptop I initiate a download of a 1GB file which is shared in my windows 7 homegroup.  Within a minute or two the constant ping to the router starts timing out.  Internet access to anything (wired or wireless) instantly ceases.  New introduced devices will not grab a DHCP address.  Existing PC's whom already have their DHCP address can talk to each other only if wired.  The wireless transmitter stops broadcasting the network and devices no longer see it on the airwaves.  The only way to fix it is to power cycle it.
    It doesn't even have to be a large file over wifi to transfer.  Just now as I'm typing this post I noticed the constant ping on my other monitor started timing out.  I power cycled the router in time for me to submit this post.  In fact I had to do it three times in the time it took me to write this post.  This is the most frustrating experience I've had with any wifi ap/router, and I play with Cisco gear at work that run real IOS.
    Here's what I tried so far.
    Reset factory defaults by holding in the rear reset button for over 30 seconds.
    I can confirm this resets the defaults as the password and all other settings are back to default.
    I tried WPA2 Personal.  I tried WPA.  Router still freezes.
    I tried it with just the default settings.  Router still freezes.
    I've reset the router numerous times.  Still freezes.
    Power cycle it for more than a minute.  Still freezes.
    Reflash it with Linksys's latest firmware.  Still freezes.
    What do I do next?  I have a feeling it's the same problem as in a lot of the HP Printer firmware boards.  That problem is poor solder joints on the BGA processor connection.  To fix that you put the formatter board in an oven at 400 degrees for 5 to 8 minutes.  After that time you just let it cool to room temperature.  The oven heats the poor solder joints enough so that it reseats and gets a better connection.  There are hundreds of posts of success on this.  I also hear that the solder connection problem exists for many of the older revision Xbox 360 game consoles causing the infamous "Red Ring of Death".
    So do I try to fight with Amazon to take this back and eat the shipping?
    Do I void my warranty, open the device up and put the board in the oven?
    Do I buy another router from a closer store, but then put this one in the box and take it back?
    Do I just cut my losses?
    Do I just use this as a wired router (disable Wifi) and hook up my WRT-54g and make that act as just an access point?
    Thanks for the advice. 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Ok I've had my replacement 320N for almost 1 full week now, and while at first it was fine, come Sunday it appears to freeze during heavy transfers.  I was streaming an HD movie to the laptop connected to the TV.  3/4ths of the way through the movie it started skipping.  What do you know, the whole network was down.  No internet or anything.  Power cycle the router and everything was back up.  Needless to say, I finished the movie through the wired connection.  The next day I tried copying 8GB of data wirelessly.  The SSID vanished 1/3rd of the way in during the transfer.
    What is wrong with this stuff?  Linksys doesn't make things like they used to.  This 320N is so cheaply made I don't think I could recommend it to anyone.  I might see if I can send this back to Amazon and get a Netgear.

  • I am planning a long vacation and taking my laptop but it is my home computer that my new ipad and ipod touch are synced too. I know i can backup to the cloud over wifi but how can i do things like delete photo albums

    I am planning a long vacation and taking my laptop but it is my home computer that my new ipad and ipod touch are synced too. I know i can backup to the cloud over wifi but how can i do things like delete photo albums instead of having to manually delete pictures one by one on the Ipad. Is there any way also to add my pictures to the ipad other than through email. i am assuming that i can't just install itunes on the laptop and sync to that. I have been told that i always have to sync to my original synced home computer for that.

  • MMS over WiFi not working after Sense 6 Update

    A week ago Monday, the Sense 6 update hit my phone.  Once loaded, I could no longer send MMS over WiFi, stream Google Play Music over WiFi, access my content on Google Play Books, or back up my pics to Google Cloud over WiFi.  After several days of e-mails back and forth with HTC, it was determined that I had to perform a Hard Reset and lose all my information.  This after clearing the cache, re-booting, various Safe Mode re-boots, etc.  Nothing worked.  I finally gave in and performed the hard reset.  Now, the only thing NOT working is MMS over WiFi.  I've tried other WiFi networks and still no MMS functionality.  After about 10 minutes, I get a red triangle next to the message and an error notification, "Generic Network Failure."
    This is going to start costing me money.  Like so many of us, I no longer have unlimited data.  Now, every time I want to send an MMS, I have to use my data plan.  Not cool.  I'm hoping that someone sees this and is working on the problem.  I love my HTC One (M7), I really do.  But, we're talking basic smart phone functionality.  Without it, I'll be looking for another phone, and perhaps even another carrier.  I'd prefer not to do that, but so be it.  Please, Verizon, a little help?
    For what it's worth, the MMS does this first.  Notice the little MMS icon with the clock lower right...it just hangs there first...and sorry about the shoe pic.
    Next, it does the Red Triangle thing...
    And that's all I know.  Perhaps someone here, or a kindly VZW employee will see this and take pity.  Thanks!

    I am having the exact same issue with my HTC one, which started immediately after updating to sense 6. Very annoying since I do not have unlimited mobile data plan, so I have to manually turn mobile data on each time I want to send or receive mms texts, including texts with multiple recipients. Did not have this issue before the update. Love this phone, my very first smartphone. But it is hard to believe that I was able to send pics over text with my old flip phone with no data plan. And now I can't with the HTC. I just can't have the mobile data on at all Times. It has become very inconvenient ever since the upgrade. Wish I had never done sense 6.

  • DL2100 Accessing files over wifi on Windows 8.1

    How's it going folks, just got my small company a DL2100 for all our file sharing needs as well for accessing our stuff over the net and the my cloud features are working fine as advertised~  We have a couple of computers running and accessing the DL2100 over our network, most are fine, but we've found that our Windows 8.1 systems are having issues in both reading/writing into the drives over our wifi network. This is using the admin account to access. Reading folders and files take a long time to load, and moving files will result in an intermittent freeze(Not Responding) and subsequent failure in the task =(  Strangely, the Macbooks accessing the drives over wifi, and both Windows 7 and 8.1 machines accessing through ethernet cables have no problems at all!  Any ideas?   

    I do not believe that a soulution is to set a static IP, hack the registry or any other extraodinary procedures.  As I mentioned above, my Win7 and Win8 laptops work great with my DL2100.  They are both wired into the network, so today I disconnected the ethernet and connected the Win8 using the wireless at both the 2.4G and the 5G bands and both work perfectly with the network and the DL2100.  I was able to stream/play videos from it to the Win8. I have no static IPs set for anything, I have Norton Security so no firewall issue, and I have never hacked the registry.  I just have a carefully configured Home network with around 30 or so devices connected to it (both wired and wireless) and I have no network issues.  In the past I had some issues, and what cleared them up was making sure I had a properly functioning Windows Master Browser and the solution was to have set up a permanent Master Browser from a device that was ALWAYS on.  A new router had that capability, and so my router is the MB and has been for a few years..  The DL 2100 can also be designated to be the Master Browser via its Dashboard.  I do not have mine as MB because only one Master Browser is needed and mutiple ones can and do cause problems. First step is to know what a Master Browser is, and that can be found easily.  The second thing is to find out what device is currently acting as the Master Browser.  You can easily find this out with a handy little free program called LANSCAN found here:  http://scottiestech.info/2009/02/14/how-to-determine-the-master-browser-in-a-windows-workgroup/ Install it on your Win PCs and notice that the MB can change if a PC is turned off or on.  If a PC is acting as the MB, that is likely the problem, so if you have no other way to set a permanent MB, then do so in the NAS.  Using the LANSCAN program, determine that your NAS is acting as the MB before proceeding to check things out. Rebooting of PCs and NAS will be necessary. Even if setting up the MB does not solve this problem, it is still a good thing to have a permanent MB in a network. Good luck.
