air play drops
So let me explain my situation. I'm an apple guy. I have everything Apple. 5K Retina iMac, iPad pro, alll iPhones 6+, Apple TV 2nd Gen and just got the new AppleTV, Apple Time Capsule 2 TB, multiple Airport Extremes, .... My problem is I have a big house and want to play music throughout the house. I understand Apple switched things around when my older Apple TVs could no longer pick more than one speaker at a time. My older AppleTV's could do every Airport Extreme as well as all the AppleTV's.
My problem is multifold so let me try and break it down so I can get some help.
- Ever since the new airport/appletv switch about 2-3 years ago where you can no longer pick multiple speakers and just one per AppleTV or iOS device I have been having drop issues. My AppleTV will play and then suddenly drop out and I will have to restart devices to get it working. I NEVER had that probelm before the update a few years ago.
- My computer (Retina 5K 27") I bought because I figured our 24" iMac was dated but still every day I get airtunes drops when I choose multiple speakers from the iTunes menu. Man I bought this new computer to get away fro the airplay issues. My wife is n=mad at me because it is the same as with the 24" older iMac.
- I bought the new ac band Time capsule no change.
- iPad Pro using for instance WHAALE still having drop issues on the AppleTV's but slightly better than the Retina iMac.
So here what I'm wondering. If I get for ind=stance an non Apple product like
NETGEAR Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri-Band Gigabit Wi-Fi Router & NETGEAR High Speed DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem Bundle will that help?
Anyway here is the deal.
These airtunes drops are ruining my social gatherings. My wife thinks I don't know **** because our music stops in the middle of our holiday parties. Please can anyone help me please please please.
