My airplay is choppy when played by my MacBook Pro.

My airplay is choppy when played by my MacBook Pro. I was wondering how to fix this problem. I do have linksys and understand that I have to widen the channel width. But it always says o my airport utility that no airport station base has been found.

MacBook Pro, iOS 7.1.2

Hey there autumnc919,


I have an article for you that may be able to help provide some options for you regarding improving the performance of your AirPlay streaming:

Troubleshooting performance issues with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring

If you are experiencing intermittent playback or significant network lag with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring, it could be due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, interference, or the distance between the Wi-Fi router and your iOS device, Apple TV or AirPort Express.

Try the following suggestions:

  • Ensure that other devices are not trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
  • Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
  • Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
  • If possible, try to locate your Wi-Fi router in the same room as your iOS device and Apple TV.
  • If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
  • If the Wi-Fi router has an external antenna, check to see that is it connected properly and in good condition.
  • Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
