Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it. For me, I finally got the ATV2 yesterday and have set it up and started toying with it. But I seem to have a lot of buffering issues which are no doubt wireless related.
At home, I have an ADSL2+ modem, D-link router set to g only (not n capable), an ipad, 2 x pc's, 2 phones, an airport express connected to the hifi and my new ATV2, all connected wirelessly. I have ripped and encoded dvds using various options but generally use 720p.
The movie will play for approx 5 mins and buffer but it varies on each movie.
I also tried connecting the ATV2 via ethernet to airport express to reduce wireless traffic as AE and ATV2 will never be used at the same time.
But my gut fell is that I have to buy a new dual band wireless modem/router and see the d-link as a good option. I am thinking of this anyhow because my ipad has buffering issues too when playing youtube.
Is there anything I can do before outlaying $200+ ?
Cheers
