Airplay stuttering

    Whenever I stream a HD video from my MBA to Apple TV, the video stutters on the tv every few seconds. It's kind of unusable. It's a UPC router. Anyone have a similar problem and found a solution?

    If your UPC router and your MBA support 5GHz Wireless N, doing that will probably sort it. If not, then switching to a different channel might help.

    It's a Cisco router about 2 years old. Is this a setting you change on the router or a setting on the Mac network connection ?

    Both. What MBA is it? I think you'll need a late 2010 MBA at least for 5GHz N support. You'll need to enable 5GHz Wifi in the Cisco if it supports it. Unless it supports dual band N, only devices that support 5GHz will be able to connect.

    The MBA is 2012.

    Then it all depends on your router!

    I had this issue also with the old Cisco UPC router. Switching wifi channels fixed the problem completely, streams lag free now. :)

    Going to try that. I can see an eircom router in range on the same channel. Could that cause problems ?

    changed the channel but no improvement.

    My cisco router is the epc2425 which doesn't support wireless N so that's that.
