Use a service like pastebin to link to log file. That why, the viewer don't have to download and open files in a separate program simply to view the log files. That's the general practice here on the forums.
For troubleshooting, have you tried it with the ATV2 connect directly to the router via ethernet cable? How about the computer hosting the movies? Is that also streaming over the wifi network?

Please use wired lan connection for your atv2 an post result?
If any firewall or antivirus software exist on your computer, disable it.

It would really be the only way to tell if you'd hook up the unit via LAN. (temporarily?)
My GUESS is that your wifi could be too slow, especially since you said it's far far away from the ATV. Wifi connections can drop easily 90% or more when obstructed.

I really don't know! But i noticed that with a WEP password AppleTv doesn't lose the Wifi Connection, with a WPA2 do!...I can't figured it out if the Belkin sucks or if i screwed something on the appletv

It's probably not the ATV, unless you f*cked your unit somewhere.
FWIW a lot of wireless routers and ap's haven't got the needed processing power to deal with the complex WPA2 encryption algorithems and as a result drop dramatically in speed.
I have noticed this with even expensive units.
It wouldn't surprise me if your Belkin crashes under the heavy load of streaming WPA2 at max speed.
