Q: Apple TV (4th Gen) Extremely Slow on Network, Other Devices Fine

I have a brand new Apple TV with TVOS 9.0.1.  It will not exceed 5 Mbps on the network -- EVER.  It usually hovers around 3 Mbps.  Programs buffer when downloading for 5 - 20 minutes depending on quality.  It's abysmal.

 

However, all of my other Apple devices work beautifully.  MacBook Pro, iPhone 6, iPad Mini, and Apple TV (3rd Generation) in the bedroom all process at the delivered throughput of the router (20-30 Mbps).

 

Only the new Apple TV is slow and won't speed up.  All devices are less than 15 feet from the router (Apple Airport Extreme).

 

I have reset the cable modem.  I have reset the router.  I have reset the Apple TV.

 

All devices continue to work at around 25 Mbps except the Apple TV, which -- as stated -- hovers at 3 Mbps.

 

Anyone know how to fix this?

    I turned off dual mode and went to WPA2 only, and that didn't help. I ended up installing ethernet outlets and went to a strictly wired network and that solved my issues completely. My speeds across all devices are at maximum levels and there are no drop-outs when home sharing between my iMac and Apple TV.
