If you go into Settings->General->Network->Test Network, what are the results?
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Troubleshooting playback performance - Apple Support

FYI, a Mac has never been a requirement to use an Apple Tv. If you need to restore the Apple Tv, you can do so from a Windows computer that hs itunes installed on it just fine.

Your issue is likely due to your ATV being out of range of your Wi-Fi network, either move your router closer or connect the router via Ethernet to the ATV. Other basic wi-fi issues can be solved by resetting the modem and router and ensuring both have up-to-date firmware. If you don't use an Apple router, refer to the owners manual on how to maintain both devices.
Good luck.
By the way if you want this thread moved to the correct (ATV) forum, let me know and I will ask the moderator to move it for you.

Have you tried testing your network as outlined above?
