Q: Apple TV homesharing keeps dropping out ...

The homesharing on my Apple TV keeps dropping off randomly.
I have a mac with wired ethernet access, and the Apple TV uses my wifi connection.
The setup was OK, and YouTube and NetFlix are fine, but the homesharing will drop off at random times (I see the message "activate homesharing on itunes" under the Computers menu option). My mac is set to never sleep, and itunes is running continuously, so I know that isn't the problem. Wifi signal strength is 80% in the Apple TV menu.
Can anyone help ?

Mac, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

    I tried everything else with my 3rdGen Apple TV, then called Apple to start the return process and they recommended a factory reset which I had not tried.

     

    The reset seems to have worked!

     

    Over an hour streaming Spotify from my Macbook without a problem. Now testing my iPhone 6s and its been uninterrupted for almost an hour too!

     

    Wish I'd tried the reset  months ago! It seems to have done the trick.

     

    Good luck.
