Q: airplay doesn't work after I bought a new wireless router
Hi
I bought apple tv 1 month ago and was working good. I had got a problem with my old wireless router and bought a new Linksys EA2700 router. I joined the new network from my apple tv and I shows a full bar signal but the IP became DHCP 192..est. when I tried to stream my mac on my tv, it shows it is connected where the airplay sign is blue and my tv become black and indicting it is getting something. but after 5 sec it shows me it is streaming but not exactly because when i move the courser it doesn't move on the tv. then it stop working. on the other hand when I play the Airplay on my iphone 5 it work even with the new router.
please help me fixing this problem
my mac is 2012
IOS 10.9.4
Apple TV 3rd
AppleTV 2, iOS 7.1.2

finally I solved the problem. the Linksys EA2700 has 2 network 2.4GHz and 5GHz.
for the 2.4GHz, it has many networks mode B only,G only, N only, B/G only, and B/G/N only
for 5GHz, it has A only, N only, A/N only
HOW I SOLVED MY PROBLEM is by naming the 2.4GHz different than the name of 5GHz and went to the 2.4GHz network and change the mode to 'B/G/N only' also secured both network with same password. It worked when I chose the 2.4GHz network but not the 5GHz. Now I am streaming my mac book smoothly. and I think the reason because apple cant connect to 802.11n mode.
for any other router try it and let us know.
thanks a lot for vazandrew
