Hello,
Has anyone ever encountered connectivity issues with their Apple TV and Wi-Fi when the router is placed in an adjacent room?
I live in a 1BR apartment and my Apple TV HD (4th Generation) losses connection constantly in my bedroom — Netflix will get extremely pixellated, while other streaming such as Disney+ or HBOMAX will just pause to buffer. My router is in the living room, which is the next room over, and a separate Apple TV 4K in the living room functions perfectly.
I'm assuming the router and internet is functioning correctly — I have no problems with any other devices. The Apple TV itself says it's connected to the Wi-Fi with 5/5 dots (bars). I also ran a speedtest with my MacBook Pro after placing it right next to the problematic Apple TV and it scored a Download: 228.85 Mbps and an Upload: 10.59 Mbps.
Is there anything I should look for or do before I try resetting all the data in that Apple TV?
Here is a photo and quick video of my setup to see if it helps:
And here is a video so you can see the distance between router and Apple TV:
Thank you!
