Wireless connection

I have 160gig ATV. I use airport express. I've been noticing that if I am streaming a podcast or youTube and then I go somewhere else, lets say to my music, when I go back to a podcast or youtube I have lost my wireless connection. What can be the problem?

Thanks in advance for your help.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.2)

Is your express set up using bridging mode.

Don't really know about the bridging mode. All I did when I got it was plug it in. I've been using it much longer than using it with ATV.

I think you'll need to take a look at your wifi settings to get some idea of what is going on. Do you have another device that distributes DHCP on the network, if so you will need to set the express up in bridging mode otherwise you could well be running different networks or at least different subnets, in which case you will encounter issues.

You seem to be the answer man. Here goes more for you. I have a cable modem going into a hub. From the hub I go into my desktop iMac with one ethernet cable. I also go into the Airport Express with another ethernet cable. Then hopefully wirelessly going to the ATV.

Should I get another Airport Express and plug it into a socket by my ATV and then hard wire into the ATV?

The ATV is plugged into a receiver then into the TV. Works sometimes but very annoying when you can't connect to iTunes or the iMac.

Thanks again.

Does your your modem have a router in the same enclosure.
