I recently purchased an Airport Extreme to replace an old Linksys wireless router. It did exactly what I was hoping it would and extended my wireless signal so that all rooms of my apartment now receive the signal. Most importantly the Apple TVs in other rooms now stream perfectly.
One odd side effect is that now the netflix app on both my apple TV's is taking up to 2 minutes to load anything (movies, tv shows). Here are the steps I have taken:
•*Checked with my internet provider and my internet speed is 21mbps (have checked both wireless and Ethernet connected speeds)
•*Restored both apple TV's to factory settings and had them checked out at Apple store Genius bar. They are both in perfect working condition.
•*Removed all other devices that could be causing signal interference (TV antenna, baby monitors, etc)
Apple told me that Netflix outputs its shows at a higher resolution than other streaming services and that is likely why I am experiencing the load delay. They recommended I remove anything from the area that may be interfering with the signal (see the last bullet point in what I have done so far above)
After all of this the only variable that has changed since I started having this issue is that I recently updated my wireless router to the Airport Extreme. When I set up the AE I followed the instructions that came with the device and let it more or less set itself up as it was detected and activated via the Mac Pro it was connected to via Ethernet.
I am interested to hear what ideas everyone may have as to why this issue is occurring. I am out of trouble shooting ideas!
