Apple TV 4K Screen Mirroring latency

I brought 6 nos Apple TV 4K 64GB , i install in BMW Experience center. i am controlling All 6 Apple TV one by one with Screen Mirroring and playing some videos & photos, i had connected with wired cat 6e cable with TP Link triple Band Wifi Router. i have my one device on wifi only iPad.

my issues is sometime if i playing movies its latency problem. sometime playing very good. i already do the setup in Apple TV (only airplay with same network) but its also showing all extra device and connected also,

My Question:

  1. how to solve the latency issue. i thought my apple tv is not playing from wired network. its playing only own wifi.
  2. can i disable the apple tv wifi. (because anybody can mirror my apple tv even not connected wifi

Mirroring is done over the wireless network and is quite intensive as it is sending the full display in realtime. If there is latency it is due to interference and/or the network cannot keep up with the demand.


If you want to see the condition of the network run a diagnostic report using istumbler (Mac), netstumbler (PC) or similar. Look for signal strength, noise, nearby networks

  1. If you want all screens to display the same content synchronized, then you probably have to go bigger/more professional/more sophisticated, and stream from a multicast system, similar to live TV. An iPad and/or your Wi-Fi network may not be up to 6 streams at the same time.
  2. You can edit the AirPlay settings to require a password. Manage AirPlay settings on your Apple TV - Apple Support. Only after entering the correct password, will mirroring be possible.
