Apple TV (4th gen) faster with 5 GHz WiFi with the ethernet cable

When my Apple TV is connected to my network via 5 GHz WiFi it gives me a faster speed (about 120 Mbps) connections it makes when I plugged it on my network (about 45 Mbps) ethernet cable.  Why is this?  I thought that the ethernet would give me the fastest connection possible.

The ethernet port on all ATVS (including the 4th generation) is only 100 Mbit/s. The actual speed depends on the quality of your network as the routers, switches and cables components and of course it depends on the length of your ethernet cable and if it is damaged in any way (folded or crushed). And finally, that depends on how fast you have actually measured, on your local network speed, or speed on your WAN.

    You can connect otherwise?  USB or FireWire or love at first sight?  You can connect both machines and start the one you want to transfer to target disk mode.  If your other machine is up and running with an account on it and you just want to move files, you can simply drag and drop the FRO the machine mounted TDM, or you can use the migration wizard.

    Or, if the other machine still starts and runs, you can start both computers and connect to the same wifi network and share the hard drive like machines on the network.  Access them in the finder on the new machine files and drag-and - drop, or use the wizard migration, on wifi.

  • When I try to connect with my wireless laptop will connect only to Local access. If I connect the laptop to the router with the ethernet cable, it works very well.

    VIsta - Local access only

    HI -.
    I recently moved.   I use the same router from my old apartment and I had no problem connection in the past.   Since I moved I have a new Time Warner modem (Cisco) and the modem works fine.

    The router also works very well I'm able to connect with my iPhone and IPad without any problem.

    But when I try to connect with my wireless laptop, it will only connect to Local access.    If I connect the laptop to the router with the ethernet cable, it works very well.

    It's a Dell Studio 15 with Vista.

    The computer is able to connect to wifi to other places without any problem, but for some reason that I can't connect home.   I tried to reset the modem and the router several times, but that did not help.   I tried the option repair & diagnose several times but it doesn't work.

    I tried to look for other solutions online and tried to disable IPv6, and while it helped some and I was able to connect wireless, the computer ran so slowly that it didn't seem like a good solution.

    This has been very frustrating.   Thanks in advance for any help or suggestion.

    Hello Staciusa,

    Have you tried to change the wireless channel that your router is running at? There may be interference that could prevent the internet connection:

    Take a look at step 6 in this article that give more details about it:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/athome/Setup/wirelesstips.aspx

    If you need assistance to change the settings of the specific router, you will need to contact your router manufacturer or your internet service provider.

  • Pavilion dv7 Notebook - how will I know if I'm connected with the Ethernet cable or wireless?

    The notification area icon displays only a wireless connection, although the ethernet cable is connected to the laptop.  HP Connection Manager shows that both wired and wireless connections are active.  All of my previous laptop (not HP) had different icons for wireless to a wired connection in the notification area.  HP has a different icon for a wired connection?  If so, why it doesn't show in the notification area?

    Enrico, thank you.  I have installed Win7 Pro.

    The Network and Sharing Center says I'm connected wireless.

    Program of HP's "Connection Manager" shows that both the wired (ethernet) and wireless networks are connected.

    If I am always connected wirelessly with the ethernet cable plugged into my machine, how to move from the wired connection?

    Open the network and sharing Center. Look at the picture of what I have posted. Do you see where it says log in or out? Select it, and then disconnect from the wireless network. If you are also connected to the wired connecttion, then the connection should be almost transparent.

  • MB Pro restarts randomly with the ethernet cable is plugged

    I recently bought a thunderbolt reduction - Ethernet [1] and it works very well. The problem is that when it is plugged in, my MacBook Pro (13', 2015, i5, 8 GB) gets very hot. This isn't a problem, but the next thing is really annoying.

    Whenever I'm not load, but the ethernet cable is connected, and MacBook goes into sleep mode, the system turns off instead. Thus, for example, when I don't have the power cable and if go for 5 minutes, the system automatically sets the mode 'sleep'. When I come back, it is turned off, and when I hit the power button, a black screen with the Apple logo and a text in several languages, saying that the system restarted because of a problem. After that, MacBook starts normally.

    The same phenomenon occurs:

    • When the power cable is not connected and I close the screen
    • When the power cable is not connected and I SLEEP manually the MacBook
    • When the screen is closed and I plug the power or the ethernet cable

    I use OS X 10.11.

  • NB100 - unable to connect with the ethernet cable

    My netbook works very well with the wireless connection (even if I get only 4 MB when I have 10 MB connection). I visited a House of friends the other day and she does not have a wireless router.

    I plugged the cable broadand on my machine. I disabled the wireless connection and activated the network connection in network connections. I turned off then the feature wireless on the keyboard with the keys Fn & F1.

    It shows that there is a link in my taskbar, but when I try to open the internet it does not connect.

    I thought it was his connection because she had problems so today I went to another friends house and got exactly the same response.

    I decided to try the same thing at home and I disconnected the ethernet cable from my wireless router and performed the steps listed above.

    Still no joy - am I missing something?

    Tips:

    Use a static IP address, and not using DHCP.
    Disable your firewall. It can block the network connection.
    Disable network cards won't do not. If you use wired LAN, turn off wireless and Bluetooth in the Device Manager.
    Check if their ISP requires a power of Attorney, if they don't, specify the Proxy and Port in your browser settings.

  • Assistant of migration with the ethernet cable?

    Hello! I have a new iMac and I want to use the Migration Wizard to transfer my old files from my old Macbook Pro to my new iMac. Love at first sight is not my old Macbook Pro only Firewire 800, USB 2.0 and an Ethernet port. So I thought I will use the Ethernet on Mac port with a CAT6 ethernet cable to connect directly to a faster transfer, but I don't know how it works, because the drive is not appear when you use Migration Wizard. I followed the instructions from Apple: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204350

    But when looking for sources, it does not find my Macbook Pro drive so it can start the Migration process. Do you need to set up something else to make it work? Or is it beter to this with Firewire 800, which is my other option. Hope someone can help me ;-) Thank you Cloe

  • I just bought an Airport Extreme and try to put in place.  I have Fios cable with a router.  I can not get anything except a blinking orange light.  After reading the instructions, it seems that the problem with the ethernet cable but I

    Must not exceed the flashing orange light.  have tried three ethernet cables to the Fios router.  All thoughts

    What extreme version do you have?

    Test the cables connecting the airport to your Mac with them and see if the ethernet works on Mac. Green connectivity light should go... If it fails, then the AE died.

    Please do a factory reset, then try again.

    Sometimes Mac airport utility works well... If you have the preference or iphone ipad, download and use iOS version airport utility and try it for configuration... It is much less awkward.

  • My Windows XP laptop does not connect to my 2WIRE router wireless, but do my other laptops. It will only connect with the ethernet cable. What is the problem?

    What I'm doing.

    1. my laptop is a Toshiba XP

    What serial number and model of Toshiba?

    What type of encryption 2wire router uses for now? Type of WEP or WPA? If the latter do you know if your XP laptop wireless card supports WPA (some older cards only). If you find that this is the problem, you can go to the WEP encryption or buy a WPA compatible device to use instead of the current device on the XP laptop.

    If you don't know how to find this information...

    The range and the model are probably on a sticker on the bottom of the laptop.

    I think that there is a sticker on the side of 2wire routers (leastways are those provided by BT) gives you the encryption key and this might also state what is the type of encryption. Or, if not, open a web browser such as internet explore/firefox etc and go to http://gateway.2wire.net, somewhere on the router admin pages, you will find information on wireless security/encryption.

    Regarding the card laptop wireless, I can help with this if you give me the range and the model as requested above. I can, also, be able to determine from the description of the device in Device Manager. Click Start, click Run, type devmgmt.msc and press ENTER. Network adapters (click on +) and transcribe the wireless adapter that there are listed in a response to this post.

  • printer is not found when connected to the router with the ethernet cable

  • Help with Apple TV (4th gen) ADCOM receiver.

    I'm trying to connect my Apple TV (4th Gen) to my receiver with basic cable AV (sound). I have an Apple TV to TV HDMI. The audio input of the TV, I have the AV cable connected to my output of receivers. I can't understand why the sound is still coming from the television and not sound surround. Thanks for any help!

    Note:

    My TV is a Sony kdf-e42a10

    My receiver is an ADCOM GTP-600

    It's a little tricky because of the age of your components.

    You should connect the plug the ATV HDMI to TV. You then connect the stereo audio output TV at the input of the receiver. (Your description reversed entry and exit.) You must then turn off the TV speakers in the TV configuration menu and select the right input on the receiver. You get digital surround sound with this Setup, but you could get Logic Pro.

  • Unable to set up Apple TV (4th gen) as Home Hub

    I updated my iPhone to iOS 10 5s yesterday and today I updated my Apple TV (4th gen) to tvOS 10.

    But I can't configure my Apple TV as a hub in the home on my iPhone app - the Automation tab in the hub said "Make Apple TV (4th generation) to the center of your House...» ", but offers no possibility to do so.

    I found this article:

    Automate and remotely to your accessories HomeKit - Apple Support

    Who says:

    • On your Apple TV, go to settings > accounts > iCloud and make sure your Apple TV shows connected HomeKit.

    But there's nothing HomeKit this page of settings on Apple TV. (Yes, my Apple ID has two-factor auth enabled.)

    Does anyone have this working? Any tips?

    Thank you

    Martin

    Same question here, but with 6 s iPhone more and iPad 9.7 Pro.

    No "HomeKit" option under iCloud as instructions indicate there should be.

    Only reference HomeKit that I could find anywhere was under "Privacy", with the only option being "Reset configuration" or something like that. Who comes to HomeKit forget all my devices.

    Have activated two-factor authentication, then out of the iCloud, Apple TV, and back in. No luck. Tried to reboot several times, still nothing.

    The Apple TV is clear my HomeKit Setup, because the use of the thing "Reset configuration" has had an impact on what I see on my iPhone. So I think this could be a bug in 10 TVOS. Very annoying that it breaks the new Automation features in iOS 10.

  • Apple TV 4th gen: video stutters/buffers when bluetooth connected to headset Motorola SS9 - HD

    Nice day!  My new Apple TV 4th gen: video stutters/pads several times when connected in bluetooth for headset Motorola S9 - HD.  Normal play time before the start of the stuttering/buffering is about 15 seconds.  The headphone stops also in stuttering.  After that the buffer of spinning button stops, all goes back to normal until the next cycle.  This happens on all video activity of any source.  If I disconnect the headset in the bluetooth settings, everything is completely OK.  This is a brand new Apple TV 4, with the latest updates.  This stuttering also occurs when of the Air Airplaying of my iPad, or if playback purchased iTunes movies.

    The main reason for the purchase of this 4th Apple TV:

    1. availability of the App Store of Apple TV.

    2. ability to connect his bluetooth headset and ensure the privacy of the other

    3. the beautiful screensavers.

    4. menu main display and interface.

    5. Siri Remote.

    Others have run into this problem?  Is it known to be a workaround?

    Thank you very much for your time.

    I wanted to add to my previous question that I tested the speed of the WiFi using my iPad Air in the same room with the Apple TV 4. Used SpeedOf.Me Lite and went up 23 Mbps download and shipping.

  • Apple tv 4th gen unable to buy the movies if to never ask for the password and code value of active access

    Hello

    I noticed that since a few weeks I'm not able to buy a movie more if:

    -Set store account never ask for password

    -Activate restrictions (set a password) and all buy "limited."

    It works with the same configuration perfectly on my Apple TV 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation, where clicking on the buy button you are prompted to enter the password instead of having to enter your iTunes account password every time.

    But on the Apple TV 4th gen, once I click the button to buy, I get the circle of rotation and it keeps just there, never ask the password so that the operation never happens.

    If I disable the restrictions for the purchase of movies, I can buy the movie (do not ask for an access code and password)

    If I put the password on all your purchases, I am also able to buy the film.

    But still, if I set the password to "ask always", then enable password, set 'focused' purchases (so I'm in the best situation: should I get the password dialog box when I'm about to buy anything, rather than the full itunes password) it simply doesn't.

    I tried: record / stop all accounts (not just the store, but also iCloud, gamecenter, home sharing, etc) - nothing

    Also tried to restore the device and set up from scratch: nothing.

    Apple TV 4th gen updated to the latest version of the software (tried to update, said: I'm updating)

    And again, if I try to do the same thing on Apple TV 1st generation, 2nd generation, 3rd generation, they have all THE work. (Click on buy, get the guest password, enter my 4 digits, in fact)

    The thing is that I am convinced that it worked before this nonsense.

    I'm in Spain, and my account is linked to the Spanish bank

    Any ideas?

    I'm afraid that you'll just have to disable restrictions until the problem is resolved.
