Scott, Is this something new? I have not had issues with my Apple TV which is also on WiFi and apart from Patty's message haven't read anything about others having problems wth their Apple TV. There are many factors which could effect WiFi reliability. Here is one example: about a year ago or so I had a hard time connecting my iPhone and laptop to the WiFi at my business and one of my employees experienced the same with a different iPhone (I have a 5S and he has a 4S). In other words, 3 different devices had problems even though signal strength was fine, I could be standing right next to the modem and it was still not reliable. I ended up buying a different modem, then I bought a high-end Cisco business class access point with this big antenna and nothing helped. To make a long story short, the problem was a Logitech external wireless soundcard. I think it's called an X-Fi, but I can't remember. It basically consists of a base unit which you can connect to a computer via USB and then you have remote units (you can have multiple remote units) which receive the signal from that base unit and which you can connect to a speaker or different speakers in different rooms. Anyhow, for some reason I thought I should take away other wireless devices and as soon as I disconnected this wireless sound card I had no more issues connecting to my WiFi and getting fast download speeds etc. Before even if my laptop connected and I tried to play a video over my local area network (just something I had on my server's hard drive) it would only play a few seconds at a time and then buffer for a long time, then another 5 seconds or so etc. All these issues went away once that other device was out of the picture. Having a modem which is capable of 2.4 and 5 Ghz would definitely help especially in an environment where you have lots of WiFi networks and maybe where people have various other wireless devices like cordless phones and so on around you and you can't necessarily control what is being used, but being on an older model which is only capable of 2.4 Ghz may not necessarily be the only issue.

I actually went out and bought a Netgear extender. I thought this would help but it isn't. It really shouldn't matter if your on wireless or not as long as you have a descent signal. I have a 72 percent signal in my bedroom where my Apple tv is. We may need to report this too Apple.
