Q: apple TV play from iPhone 5 streaming problem

Hi there KimberleyF,

I understand that you are seeing some playback issues with AirPlay on your iOS devices. I have an article for you that contains some suggestions for addressing this issue:

If your playback is interrupted, or you have network lag

You might notice these issues if you have a weak Wi-Fi signal or interference from a different device, like a microwave or baby monitor. Try these steps:

1. Make sure that you're using the recommended settings for your Wi-Fi router.
2. Move or turn off other devices that might cause interference.
3. Try connecting your Apple TV directly to the router using an Ethernet cable instead of Wi-Fi.

 

Some apps might stop AirPlay when you lock your device or put your device to sleep.
