Q: Airplay connection IPHONE 4S

Hello,

 

Why I cant connect to Apple TV (latest)?

 

1. All apple devices in home can join and use local wifi.

2. I took iphone to apple store and the fellow connected my iphone to thier local wifi. I was able to use Airplay function in the store without any issues.

3. is it router that is stopping peer-to-peer session anyhow? I need to get advise what I must and mkust not to have in the router to allow p2p connection for airplay to work in home.

 

 

On the other fron youtube play in HD only if available from streaming channel. However, im not on unlimited bandwidth and need to be setting manually may be 720 or lower resolutions. I was told this is the design of appl tv. Can someone address this and change design, make it mre flexible in controlling the stream resolution from providers like Youtube.

 

Otherwise the gear is good but I will return it if i cant resolve airplay issue.

 

 

Cheers

Apple TV (3rd generation), iOS 7.1.1

    AirPlay connectivity issues are always network issues.  Troubleshoot the network.

    Both devices must be on the same network, do not assume they are, confirm that they are.

     

    Keep in mind, many new routers create seperate networks for the wired, wireless 2.4Ghz, and wirelss 5Ghz networks.  As a result, AirPlay will not work if they are connected to the seperate networks.

    Can confirm that:

     

    1. Same subnet/network.

    2. IPs assigned staticaly, no DHCP. I control the assignment.

    3. standard wifi frequency on TP-link router.

     

     

    I have not been able to ping from iphone to Apple tv though as there is no provision for that in either gear. can ping from PC but that doesnt prove that router routes between iphone and apple tv.

     

    How about Youtube HD question. Any tweaking I can make to drive apple tv to low res rate.
