Why does my iOS5 iPad 2 lag / lagging while in mirroring mode?

I just updated my iPad 2, with the latest iOS5 Update, but am having issues with mirroring... There is such a huge delay / lag, that it makes it almost impossible to play games while using it! I also updated my Apple TV, figuring it needed an update too. So, on top of the lag issue, the picture quality is so bad! I can hardly read what's on the screen right now, while typing. Plus, the screen is just a small box, while in 16 x 9 mode. Then, when you stretch the screen to wide display, it cuts off a bit of the bottom. Never did that with the AV Adapter... I really hope Apple fixes this, since it's such an important selling point.

Issues:

1) Very bad lagging.

2) Poor picture quality.

3) Very small screen, in 16x9 mode.

4) Setting TV to Wide Screen cuts off a bottom portion of the iPad 2.

Is anyone else experiencing these mirroring issues as well?

Just go into settings on your Apple TV and under "General" go to "Network" and select the SSID of the network you want to connect to from your router. You need to assign different names for the 2.4 and 5 GHZ bands in your router if you want to be able to select between them (this applies to any device, not just the Apple TV).

I should add that since upgrading my Apple TV to the newest version I have no issues connecting to the 5 GHZ band.

Thanks!

Problem solved by changing channel names. Also worked when I logged on to my guest WiFi, but guest account had limited services.
