Methods and systems for automated configurations of media presentation devices

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that are executable by a processing system of a client device to:

• detect a first media presentation device on a wireless network;
• identify a maximum data rate supported by a second media presentation device paired with the first media presentation device;
• and
• automatically set, via the wireless network, a data rate parameter of the first media presentation device to the maximum data rate supported by the second media presentation device when the maximum data rate is less than a second maximum data rate supported by the first media presentation device, wherein the first media presentation device is configured to provide the media content to the second media presentation device in accordance with the data rate parameter of the first media presentation device.

A system comprising:

• a first media presentation device coupled to a wireless network;
• a second media presentation device paired with the first media presentation device;
• and
• a client device coupled to the wireless network to detect the first media presentation device on the wireless network, identify a maximum data rate supported by the second media presentation device, and automatically set, via the wireless network, a data rate parameter of the first media presentation device to the maximum data rate supported by the second media presentation device when the maximum data rate is less than a second maximum data rate supported by the first media presentation device, wherein the first media presentation device is configured to provide the media content to the second media presentation device in accordance with the data rate parameter of the first media presentation device.
