new ATV as network extender?
« on: 17 Oct 2011, 12:38 pm »
Hi,

Since one of my AE's died I have to replace it. Dual use: network extender (wired from my router and creating it's own wireless network used to connect my Macbook and other wireless laptops/handhelds) and Airplay. Could the new Apple TV do both of that? I can not seem to find a real yes or no to that question in the Manual Apple provides.

Thanks,
Marius

feared as much. so the wireless properties on the ATV are solely there for streaming to it?

Unfortunately, no.

since we're on the ATV topic:
Can it stream www.digitalconcerthall.com to the tv-display, or would I need a real Mac(Mini) for that. Hd-video and HD-audio.

I just visited the digitalconcerthall and its asking for the latest version of flash... That tells me the answer is no. I do not believe the ATV supports Flash.
I know their other devices do not. Cant see why this one would be any different.

the Ipad works fine. Streaming right now from Ipad to Na7004 over Airplay. Only audio ofcourse, video still om Ipad, and with lastest Ios5 without lag.

Maybe solution is the other way round? stream from Ipad to ATV? that way ATv would only have to work as a receiver, and no need for a Browser on the ATV. Hope streaming bandwith is capable of HD-video and audio...

Had hoped to eliminate the wireless.

Thanks,
Marius

If the Application supports it you can stream video and audio from the iPad to the Apple TV. It is currently limited to 720P video. Performance of the stream will depend on your Wi-fi network.
