The Ideal set up would be to have both your Mac Mini and your ATV connected to that router via Ethernet each using their own cable. This unit also provides your WiFi for your home. Usually your internet source comes in to a WiFi router that has multiple Ethernet ports on it.įor example, if you have cable internet, they usually have a WiFi router that has a cable jack on it as well as several Ethernet jacks. That’s why I was asking if, maybe, connecting both the ATV and the macmini to the router would work. And now “remote control” via the iphone or homekit controls are not available. I have 4 ATVs and one is connected via ethernet, 2 are on my 2.4G net and the last is on the 5G net and I can airplay to all of them from either the 2.4 or the 5gig network.Īctually the ATV is connect to the macmini via Ethernet but the macmini is connected to the network via wifi. I’m not sure I understand what you mean by “I could connect both the macmini and the ATV to the wifi router.” aren’t they connected now? By connect, do you mean via WiFi or Ethernet cables? I’m not sure why your airplay went away. Glad you’re streaming again without the pauses. That would impact the quality of the connection between the 2? I wouldn’t like to get back to “bad buffering” world. I could connect both the macmini and the ATV to the wifi router. The ATV is on another network (the one between it and the macmini) and my wifi connects iphone can’t connect to ti anymore. It seems everything now is working and I’m able to stream from my macmini to the ATV without buffering.īut… I don’t have airplay anymore. Details on enabling this will vary by device, but here are links to basic. Firecore Streaming From a Mac, PC, or NASīefore streaming, double-check that SMB File Sharing is enabled on the device you wish to stream from. Go to this users guide and it will explain the set up for shares and give details on SMB trouble shooting. How do you have your internet connection to your Mac now?įirst, check to see what protocol you’re using.
Otherwise, you may find it better to work with wired cables for all connections from your internet, router, and ATV. You may be able to stay with wifi if the protocol you’re using can be tweaked a bit. If you help me with that I’ll tell you right away.

Or I’ll need to plug/unplug the Ethernet cable all the time?Ībout “SMB (if so what level 1, 2, 3, auto) FTP, DLNA etc.” I’ve no idea on how to know that, sorry. I need to try with an Ethernet cable but is the ATV going to be able to be connected to the wifi for other content (eg Netflix)?
