    Wi-Fi Jitter, Erratic Ping, Latency Due To AWDL (AirDrop/AirPlay)

    I have noticed that Wi-Fi on macOS Ventura has high jitter. This affects any real-time application. It is common for latency (ping) to spike to spike from a normal 2-10ms to nearly 200ms. This has happened in 13.0 and now 13.1. The only fix so far has been to disable AWDL; which is used by...

    Apple devices and IGMP Snooping on, or off?

    Hey all, I have a topic that's been discussed before, but most of what I can find is quite a few years old. Also I wasn't sure which category to add this to, so I figured I'd add it to iOS because it can apply to multiple devices. With this said: Most of the old articles out there that...

    I'm trying to use my old iPad (mini 2), which doesn't have Lossless Music, with Airplay. I realize then that Airplay must be sending music as AAC, but is this 256kbps AAC, or is it less? I ask because audio from iPad is noticeably worse with Airplay vs. my Macbook Air Is this an AAC thing, an...

    Airplay audio doesnt work, but display mirroring does?

    I use Airplay to stream music to my appletv, but often enough audio cuts out completely and in the worst times, trying to airplay audio gets "cannot connect to AppleTV" error messages.
