Jailbroken apple tv so slow and drops network
#1
So i have owned an apple tv 2 since christmas time but never took it out of the box. So pretty recently i decided to take it out and try and jailbreak it. Little to my dismay i found out that the latest 5.2.1 was not jailbreakable. ( i understand that now it is)

So back to my issue. Well i was able to jailbreak my apple tv 2 using the xbmc guide on jailbreaking atv2 using ifaith and seasonpass. I was able to jailbreak with no known issues. I am running apple tv software 4.4.3(3323) os build 5.0.1.



Well my issues is that when the apple tv sits idle it seems to loose its connection. I noticed that after waking up from sleep that the ip address was incorrect in the settings and i would need to start the wifi setup (actually just selecting the router and ending out corrects the issue). To correct this i by putting a manual ip address so now it seems to drop but picks back up. I am wireless but right next to the router. My ps3 is next to the apple tv and i never have any networking issues so i doubt its the network.



second issue is that the menus are so damn slow. I will hit the arrow button and nothing will happen. This is in the main menu and also xbmc. Is there anything i can do? Is this normal? ill click buttons nothing will happen then all of a sudden 50 links are selected lol.


Please help

Do you think that maybe re jailbreaking would correct my issue?

I dont think this is normal behavior but i am new to jailbreaking the atv2 so im not sure.

thank you

Also something else i noticed. When sitting on the about screen the Wi-fi network and ip address will go from having information to NA and then come back. and also when sitting on the main menu the movies tv shows music menus will disappear and come back.

Ok so i give up on wireless, i hard wired network to my apple tv. Noticed that the network no longer drops but the menus on the main menu still arent very responsive.

example when apple tv comes from waking up i can push any button i want nothing happens until finally something happens and then it seems fine for awhile until i stop going through the menus and all of a sudden the menus arent responsive again. This is the main apple menu that i am referring to

Any Ideas? Seems like no one else has had this issue. I did hear that apple tvs had wireless issues. Maybe i have a bad apple tv? I just wanted to make sure that i am not barking the wrong tree. Is it something i can fix such as a jailbreaking problem or is the device just bad?

thank you for the help
