R6350 choppy/laggy

[Linconanna]

when I screen mirror a video or live streaming from any of my apple devices, to my Apple TV, it's choppy and laggy.  The people at Target told me to disable my firewall.  But that sounds risky.  I have tried to Live Chat with Netgear, as well as call them, and I've been disconnected both times.  I need help!

there's so many factors that influence screen mirroring. 

1. the connection from device to router

2. the connection from router to tv

3. the interference in your area

4. whether you're on 2.4ghz or 5ghz. 2.4ghz is much slower and sensitive to interference. 

5. the performance of the actual device transmitting. Some of the older devices struggle with mirroring

What modem do you have? 

What tv, platform, and device are you using? 

Is your streaming devices on 2.4ghz or 5ghz?

What type of content are you streaming? (HD takes more bandwidth)

What modem do you have? ARRIS SURFBOARD

What tv, platform, and device are you using? SONY SMART TV, MACBOOK PRO, IPAD, IPHONE 11

Is your streaming devices on 2.4ghz or 5ghz?  I CAN USE EITHER 

What type of content are you streaming? (HD takes more bandwidth). USUALLY JUST VIDEOS TAKEN ON AN IPHONE.  EITHER VIDEOS I TOOK MYSELF, OR ONES THAT WERE SENT TO ME.  ALSO LIVE STREAMED GAMES OF MY KIDS IN COLLEGE.  ALL OF THESE VIDEOS COME UP WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS, LAGGING OR BUFFERING ON MY DEVICES, UNTIL I SCREEN MIRROR TO APPLE TV.

FYI - WHEN OTHER PEOPLE TRY TO SCREEN MIRROR TO MY TV IT DOES THE SAME THING.  WHEN I SCREEN MIRRORED TO A FRIEND'S APPLE TV, IT WORKED JUST FINE.

Seriously. Caps lock. Its my pet peeve. Use it.

The sony only has issues with screen mirroring? 

You've hooked up his apple tv to the sony via hdmi and the apple tv then had flickering?
