I have a recurring odds issue with my couple-of-years old Apple TV 4.
When streaming, often the stream starts to buffer or fail entirely. I run the ‘Speedtest’ App, and sure enough its running at ~1Mbps, so that explains it.
Except, if I run the same test on my ipad on the same router, 53Mbps.
Hmmm?
If I ‘Restart’ the ATV and run the Speedtest again, its back to 53Mbps. Streaming is smooth, problem fixed.
Except this happens daily now.
My question is, why? Why would the ATV seemingly ‘throttle down’ the incoming stream; which are restart fixes. Do ATV’s ‘fail’ after a period?
Any thoughts?
