I stream music from my computer to my Airplay speakers without any difficulty, but if I stream from the same sources on my iPhone or iPad it stops after 10 or 15 minutes. Once it stops, it keeps stopping more frequently. All devices have updated operating systems. If it was a bandwidth problem, surely it would affect the computer's connection.
So any ideas why this happens?
iPad, 12
oh so the device doesn’t have bluetooth connectivity?
If that’s the case try to move the devices closer to the modem or whatever you are using to operate the wireless network.
It really does sound like a connectivity issue
The Airport Express bases extend the wifi network, so connectivity is strong throughout the house. I can transmit from my laptop anywhere in the house without dropping the signal. The problem is only with my iPad and my iPhone.
The wifi network is structured as follows: the internet enters the house by a cable connected to a modem, which is in bridge mode and is connected to a Time Capsule, which is serving as a router. Using Airport Utility, I have connected two Airport Express bases to the Time Capsule. On all the devices -- Time Capsule and the Airport Express bases -- Airplay is turned on.
Are you not able to connect to your speakers with blue tooth?
No, they are connected to my wireless network -- plugged into Airport Expresses. (Sorry, I guess that's a significant detail I left out!)
Bluetooth should be a lot more stable then, try that and lemme know how that works out!
Unless you can connect to a wifi network using Bluetooth it is not physically possible.
Airplay stops suddenly on iPad and iPhone but not MacBook Air
