[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1805821, member: 396914"] Patrick, WMM is WiFi Multi-media and it prioritizes media packets over other data packets at the router. In the early days of slower internet connections, to get smooth streaming you needed to turn WMM on in the router to ensure that the streaming took first priority. I have very high speed internet (300 Mbps according to speedtest.net), so streaming from the internet is not an issue. I don't see a specific WMM setting in my router control panel, so I'm thinking that concern no longer applies (needing WMM, that is). The rest of the information in the linked article says that Bluetooth might work in place of WiFi, but I don't remember seeing any setting for BT on the ATV. <pause> I just looked at the ATV and all it shows is my BT earbuds, which just so happen not to be connected at this time, No other BT devices in the list, so I don't think that's going to work. <another pause> I just looked at Sys Prefs>bluetooth and the ATV is not there, despite being powered up. So I don't think there is a way to pair the Mac to the ATV in BT. [/QUOTE]
