Apple TV 3 Mirroring lags even when connected to Ethernet.

Both my Apple TV 3 and my 2011 Macbook Pro 13" (i5 Processor, 8Gb Ram) are connected to my Cisco Wi-Fi router through Cat 6 ethernet cable and I still get noticable lag when I mirror from my Macbook to my TV.


Is there anyway to fix this?

I was having the same issue recently after moving my entire setup to make room for the Christmas Tree.


SUPER lag when mirroring. I tried everything; changing back to ethernet and then back to wireless, resetting the ATV, resetting the router...nothing.


Then I looked at the setup...I noticed that I had placed my ATV directly next to the Time Capsule. I moved the ATV over about 6-8 inches...and it started working flawlessly. I presume the router was clouding up the connection.


Moral of the story, keep your ATV at least 6 inches away from an AirPort / Router.
