Airplay dropping out on iphone 7

Hi,

If your content gets interrupted or your network lags

If you have a weak Wi-Fi signal or interference from a nearby device, like a microwave or baby monitor, follow these steps:

1. Make sure that you use the recommended settings for your Wi-Fi router.
2. Move or turn off other devices that might cause interference.
3. If possible, connect your Apple TV directly to your router with an Ethernet cable instead of using Wi-Fi.

Your AirPlay connection might get interrupted when you lock your device, put it to sleep, or switch to a different app.

Airplay is very sensitive to noise on the wifi channel its talking on. I troubleshoot airplay in an enterprise environment daily. Heres my recommendation.

Try to force air play peer to peer. Disconnect (dont turn off) the wireless on your apple TV. Then make sure bluetooth is enabled on both your iphone and the apple Tv. Then make sure your wireless network is not broadcasting on 5ghz channel 149 or higher. Thats where airplay lives when its broadcasting peer to peer. So free up those high UNI3 channels on your router, and then connect. It will be stable and you wont drop anymore as long as those wireless channels are clear with no other networks broadcasting close by. This is apple's best practices for the cleanest and most stable airplaying sessions. Forget the "its only been happening since the updates". This is the only way to guarantee a stable airplay session.

A restart resets the connection and issues can come at any time.

In order to verify your network status you need to run a diagnostic report from istumbler, netstumbler or similar. Look for signal strength, noise and nearby networks

You can also test on another network

It wouldn't be the update, it was working just fine for the majority prior and issues are reported from a select group with each update. Issues can come at any time, and while it may be ok at the moment it will reappear since the underlying issue hasn't been resolved.

Obviously you didn't read what was stated. Again, it was working just fine on my system and for the majority prior. Also, these reports come after every update, but from a select group. So it's working now for you, yet there are others who are reporting this issue with the same software. They will make the same claim that it's a bug, but that obviously is not the case.

As you have done nothing to rectify the actual issue it can reappear at any time.
