Now, where I run into problems is with LIVE VIDEO. Basically if the air play is from an Apple made app it works flawlessly over my two repeaters (2 AirPort Express base stations) to play both audio (which the AirPort Express can play through a headphone output, making it an audio air play device/location) and video plays perfectly too, again, only thru Apple apps. I use Apple devices only for starters, and this helps a lot. Thought I may be able to help everyone out with this. In the future I will use the Airport Extreme networking printing, back up (using USB printer, Hard drive). You pay an additional premium for apple products ($149 + $99), but it is worth the price. Airplay of online HD movies from mac, ipad work without any jitter. I am able to airplay video games from ipad into my TV (via apple TV) without any problems. Airplay from iphone, mac and ipad all are very smooth. Now my coverage in my entire house is very good and during roaming, I don't see any issues at all. used Airport Express to extend my existing SSIDĬonfiguration and setup was very simple and was able to finish in few min (using aiport utility in mac). placed Airport Express in my living room and connected Apple TV via ethernet port. replaced my main belkin router with Airport Extreme. Moving to apple products solved all my problems: None of them solved my problems, video quality wasn't very good on living room, wireless airplay doesn't work very well with wireless range extenders. I tried various stuff to get over the problem - going for a better router, adding wireless extender in my living room to extend the range, used powerline adapter to create separate SSID for living and using a seperate SSID in living room etc etc.Tried with top of the line Netgear devices. My main wireless router was belkin - coverage was very weak in some areas of house - where my apple TV was located and other parts of my living room. ![]() The problem is, that the speakers just see one single network and connect automatically to the one with stronger signal which could be either the repeater or the router depending on placement etc.Īny fix for this? Do i have to upgrade all my Wifi-gear to Apple Airport Extreme and Airport Express configured as repeater. With the Huawei i could at least apply a MAC-filter so the airplay-speakers won't connect to the repeater and always remain connected to the router. My router is a Linksys E4200 and i tried the following repeaters: Linksys RE1000, Huawei WS320, D-Link DIR-505, neither of them really worked. I am not sure if the router is to blame, or the repeater. ![]() But if my iphone is connected to the router and the speaker to the repeater, the speaker won't appear as airplay-device. ![]() If both speaker and iphone is connected to the repeater i can indeed stream through airplay, although sometimes i won't hear anything. It also depends if the Airplay devices connect to the router or to the repeater instead. I tried 3 different repeaters, but none of them really worked with Airplay. As it turns out it doesn't work at all!Īnyone have any ideas on how to get this to work? I would love to find an actual Apple response to this problem somewhere but haven't been able to find anything on this despite the fact that I have found many users who are having the exact same problem.īy the way, did I mention that having to pay to communicate with an Apple rep for this type of support is a joke? This is brutal! My main reason for getting the extended was so that I could extend my range and ability to push music from my iPhone via AirPlay to my ATV's. If I have my iPhone connect to the primary wireless network it can find and connect to the ATV's via AirPlay just fine. Yet if I have my ATV's on the primary wireless network and my iPhone on the extended my iPhone can not see the ATV's. I installed the Wireless Repeater without a hitch and every wireless device on my network (whether it be connected to my primary wireless network or my extended network) works perfectly with the exception of AirPlay on my iPhone and my ATV's.Īs far as I know in order to use AirPlay, the AirPlay devices should exist on the same subnet, which they do. To combat this I decided to purchase a Wireless Extender/Repeater by Amped Wireless, which received great reviews. Recently I noticed that in certain areas of the house I was having trouble connecting to my home network with my iPhone due to poor signal quality. This works fine so long as my iPhone is connected to the primary Wireless N network. I often play content on my iPhone and airplay it to anyone of these 3 ATV's. Each of these ATV2's are connected to my primary Netgear Wireless N network and are set to have static IP addresses. I have 3 Apple TV's disbursed throughout my home. ![]() I have a very annoying problem that I know many others are having but now one has seemed to have found a solution to it.
