Help : very slow connection speed with AEBS and iMac

I connect to the internet using my newly purchased AEBS. I have a MacBook and an 24" iMac ( purchased in Nov 2007). My iMac showed very slow connecting speed of <1 MB/s download; with my MacBook placed just 1 foot from my iMac, the MacBook showed an amazing download speed of 20MB/s. If i connect the iMac to the AEBS using ethernet cable, it can get a very high speed.
So, where is the problem??
I am new to wireless, please help. I use iMac more than my MacBook at home.
Actually, i did not touch the any of the advance setting of the AEBS.

You know, I am experiencing the same problem. My wife's PC and iPhone are blazing fast, but my MacBook is accessing the internet at about dial-up speeds. Very frustrating and I haven't yet found the culprit.
Anyone???

  • Very slow download speeds with ATT U-Verse

    Hello,
    Experiencing very slow download speeds with Macbook Pro 2011, on Lion,  and ATT UVerse Max, which should allow for an avg. 11-12 MBPS speed. Instead, I get a fluctuating 60-370 kbps speed. I am not experiencing this problem on my Windows machines (Laptop running Windows 7 and Desktop on XP), it is only affecting the Macbook pro. I wonder if this issue is a known problem with ATT U-Verse and Macs, I spent hours yesterday with their support online and they couldn't help me, stating that from their side all settings were OK; the first representative from ATT re-booted the router remotely and that seemed to work for about 10 minutes, and then it went back to a crawling speed...
    Any suggestions welcome!
    Thanks

    Do you have QOS enabled in your router? Did you try plugging the win7 laptop directly and check the speed?

  • Mavericks install incomplete. No Apple installers on HD. Will I be able to upgrade to Yosemite and will it fix all that didn't install with Mavericks upgrade? Very slow connection speeds 30 hrs to download Mavericks. Tried re-install; no help/

    Ever since upgrade to Mavericks I have been having problems which are too numerous to mention. I finally found a program from a UCBerkley professor called Pacifier which indicated 4000+ of 400,000+ files and folders did not install. I was unable to go further to try to fix everything because Pacifier can't find ANY Apple installers on my HD. It recommended I download the Mavericks installer without reinstalling to continue; however, after having done so (very slow connection; takes 30 hours to download) and although the installer appears in apps while downloading it disappears and NO Apple installer packages can be found on my hard drive. I tried to download Yosemite once and it indicated my system wasn't eligible for the upgrade. Its' download time was similar to Mavericks; 28+ hours.
    I am using a Macbook Pro mid-2012 version OS X 10.9.5 (13F34); Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5; Memory  4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3; Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB.
    Regardless of how many files and apps I remove my memory is being eaten up to the point I can hardly do anything at all. There are no civil words for how frustrated I am. Someone please help me.
    Thanks,

    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

  • Very slow download speed with intermittent halts

    Need some help.
    I run Apple os/x latest version and have since yesterday begun to experience constant very slow download speeds.
    I have rebooted the router and I have reset it. I have tested with wireless and wired into router. No real change.
    The results are below and are pretty consistent no matter when or with what computer I test it with.
    This is very frustrating and I would like to know if anyone has experienced this and if there is anything I can do before calling for service.

  • Very slow transfer speeds with external hard drives through Firewire and US

    Hi All,
    My external drives transfer very slowly on my MacPro. I've been searching for answers and have turned up very little. Apple support suggested I post my issue here. Just to make a note, I measured my disk speeds with both AJA System Test and copying files between drives and reading the Disk Activity in Activity Monitor.
    I have 3 external drives, all MyBook Premium or Professional, 1x 500GB, 1x 1TB and 2x 1TB in RAID 0. I had them on Firewire 400 and the RAID 0 2TB one on Firewire 800. My transfers on FW were all around 24MB/sec on all drives (much less than what I should be getting with FW400). I then read somewhere that the FW bus on the MacPro uses the slowest speed connected for all FW connections. So I unplugged everything but the FW800 Raid 0 drive and my transfer rate jumped to 40-60MB/sec. This is much better, but still about half or so of what I expect it should be producing from an external RAID 0 setup.
    To keep my FW800 backup drive faster, I've plugged the other two into USB2.0. The transfer speeds on both drives are now hideous, around 10-15MB/sec. This is so slow, but I'm not sure what to try to fix my speeds.
    The HD's in the external drives are all 7200rpm, and all should be transferring at a higher rate. Do you have any suggestions or ideas? Ideally I'd like to get everything transferring at rates they should be transferring at, but I'll settle with my current FW800 speed of 40-60MB/sec if I can get my other two drives transferring at a non-snail pace.
    Is this a common issue? I can't believe I'm the only one plugging multiple external hard drives into their Mac Pro. I hope someone has a fix or solution for this. I'm all ears!
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Kappy, thanks for the information.
    So I rejigged my setup a tad. My RAID 0 is still FW800, the second drive is back on FW400 on the back port, and the third is USB 2.0 on the back as well.
    It's interesting to note that I saw the FW800 taking a bandwidth hit if the FW400 drives was being read/written to. For example, if I was averaging 50-60MB/sec on the FW800 drives and copy something large to the FW400 drive, each drive averages out to about 30/MB second, roughly half the FW800 speed I was getting. The USB while the slowest didn't cause any slowness on the FW drives.
    Here are my Xbench results. These results are from each drive being benchmarked individually with no other drives being tested at the same time.

  • WRT54G3G-ST very slow connection speeds

    Hi,
    I recently purchased a wrt54g3g-st router for mobile broadband and I have had some problems with the connection speeds. I have called linksys support but they were no help. I am using a PC-5740 broadband card which works perfectly fine in laptops by itself. When I am connected through the router its shows that I have 54.0 Mps speed but the pages load about as slow as dial-up speeds
    Thanks for any help you can give me on this problem

    if loading the pages is the only problem then try adjusting the mtu settings on the router ui to 1392 ....

  • Very slow connection along with no On Demand servi...

    ...Ok, so all of my problems began last Saturday(7th July) when we began to have very intermittent BB and a very noisy(static and crackly noise)phone line. The BB dropping had happened before so reset the hub and thought no more of it, then about an hour later we lost the lot (phone, bb & on demand) I went through all the usual help guides on BT to no avail and ended up having an hour on the phone to India who ran through every check I'd already done & drew a blank, they subsequently booked an engineer's appointment for yesterday(13th July)!!! 6 days!!!!
    13th July - Took half a day off work for the engineer to come round and fix the problem, which I thought had happened - it was a issue at the junction box having a short. Job done, I was assured all would be back to normal, how foolish of me to assume.....
    I ran a few speed checks and was coming in at around 1.2mb which still wasn't what it was before last week, left it over night and tried a few throughout today and am now hitting around 0.5mb!! No wonder on demand won't work.
    Having spent the best part of 2hrs again speaking with several people in India and establishing that there is indeed a problem (which I already knew) they tell me I now need a BB engineer to come out and asses & fix the issue and the earliest this is going to happen is..... NEXT FRIDAY!!!!!
    Talk about taking the biscuit, I'm really not happy about the prospect of having to wait a further week and lose another half day to get this resolved when it should already have been done.

  • WRT54G Very Slow connection speeds away from the router

    I have installed my router in the living room. The connection speed is perfect in the living and dinning area , as we move away from the router to the inner rooms (bedrooms) the signal strength remains fine (very good) but slowly the internet speed drops untill it stops. The signal strenght still shows as very good. Doing a "repair" - switch off and "switch on" -  on the laptops wirelss adapter brings back the connection speed for a while before it falls off again.
    Any suggestions for this prob please!!!

    Make sure that the firmware on the router is up to date. If not then download the Firmware from the Linksys web site. Connect the computer to the router with the Ethernet cable. Open the setup page of the router. Got o Administration tab and click on firmware upgrade sub tab. Upgrade the latest firmware on the router.
    After upgrading the firmware, it is recommended that you should reset the router and reconfigure the router.

  • Very slow connection speed, after phone line probl...

    My catalogue of problems starts about a month ago. The phone line developed heavy interference and my Broadband connection kept dropping. This was diagnosed as being a fault with my HH 1.5. BT duly sent me a replacement HH3 which arrived about 3 days later. I installed the new hub, changed all the wiring and the filters for the new kit that came with the hub only to discover that the interference on the phone line was now even worse. It was so bad that at times you could not even hear what was being said on the other end of the phone, so an engineer visit was arranged.
    A week later a BT engineer came and checked the line, sure enough there was a second problem and all the wiring from my house to the nearest telephone pole had to be replaced.
    These problems had had a catastrophic effect on my connection speed and profile (I was getting about 500 kbps both up and down stream), so I dutifully reset the hub after the engineer had finished and waited for the line to stabilise.
    14 days later and the upload speed had doubled, but the download speed is still unchanged at 570 kbps, about half the current upload speed. The line was a bit temperamental for the first few days but I have been able to maintain a solid connection for the last 4 days, current stats are as follows:

  • Very slow transfer speeds with Airport Extreme and MacBook

    I have been using a new Airport Extreme without problem at my home for the past six weeks. The speed and range was excellent with both my MacBook Pro and the MacBook which I purchased a few weeks ago. I came out to Greece with both laptops and a new AP Extreme box for my home network here. After set up I noticed that internet access was lethargic on the MacBook and file transfer between the two computers was extremely slow. The problem seems to be with the new MacBook (although it was working well in London). I've done some speed tests and the internet download speed is only 48 kpbs! I also notice that the range is very poor--in the room next to the router I am down to five bars. If I connect to the AP Extreme with cable I get the full 1Mbps I would normally expect here in Athens (ADSL nominal 2Mbps). The MacBook Pro has no problems with wireless access speeds or range, so I am assuming this has to be a problem with the AP extreme card in the MacBook. Is there anything I have overlooked? Perhaps something to do with setting up the new AP Extreme here in Athens?

    By process of elimination I realised that the only cause of the sudden slowness must be software that I had installed recently. The only software I had added was a wifi utility to detect available networks--open or protected. Unlikely as it sounds, quitting the utility (which I had set to load on startup) made a dramatic improvement in performance.

  • Very slow download speed with Airport Express

    Hi.
    I've recently experienced painfully slow downlink (download) speed using Airport Express.
    My WiFi configuration:
    - main router: WRT54G connected to my provider (speed limit: 4Mbit up/down link),
    - AirPort Express with WiFi N and Airtunes hooked up to stereo in living room,
    - AirPort Express WiFi G and Airtunes connected to stereo on bedroom.
    Second Airport is currently not used to simplify tests and description of my problem.
    The problem: when connecting from MacBook to Airport Express I can't reach more than approx. 512kbit downloading from internet, usually even 300kbit, while uplink reaches easily 2.5Mbit (limited probably by my network provider). While connected to WRT54G I can get 2.5 up to 4Mbit downlink, same when using cable directly plugged in to WRT54G.
    I tried changing channels, switching different options in Airport with no effect - still getting pathetic download speeds. Even worse - browsing experience is awful, with frequent slowdowns, etc.
    I tried different encryption methods, and seems like only switching it off at all (unprotected network) seems to let my Airport work on full speed (2.5Mbits symmetrically up/down, up to 4Mbits - provider speed limit) - which is unacceptable, I refuse to set up and use unprotected network at home.
    Problem is clearly in Airport or in interaction between Airport and Macbook. I've just ran out of ideas - can you help me?

    I can't offer any help with your problem except for the fact that mine has recently done the exact same thing. It's ridiculous, for months and months it was extremely fast and then all of a sudden it takes 20 minutes to open a simple browser page. Something is definitely wrong with the airport because all other wireless internet connections from other routers are as usual. \

  • Slow connection speeds with brand new Linksys WRT54G.

    Hello all, I just purchased a Linksys WRT54G v8.2 router to replace my old Netgear one that bit the dust. Unfortunately it is fresh out of the box and already experiencing an issue: I have a 5 megabit internet connection in my apartment, but my upload/download speeds aren't even breaking 1 megabit when using this router. My latency has also doubled. If I plug the ethernet connection directly into my PC, I receive the expected 5 megabit upload/download speeds, so something is up with the router I suppose. I installed the latest firmware from the linksys site and reset the router a couple times, but no luck.... Anyone have any insight into this issue? Thanks for your help.

    The WRT54G should easily be able to handle a 5 Mbps connection.  I assume that the problem is with a wired connection to the router.  Is that correct?
    If so, then this is likely a problem of poor connection between modem and router.  This is usually caused either by a very old modem, or a setup problem in the router.
    1)  Please state the make and exact model number of your modem (not the WRT54G).
    2)  Please state your ISP.
    3)  Please do the following test:  Using an ethernet cable, connect your computer directly to your modem  (not the WRT54G).  Verify that you have a working Internet connection.  Then do the following:
    Go to "Start" > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
    A black DOS box will appear. Type in "ipconfig /all" (with no quotes), then hit the Enter key.   Post all of your results, except that if your "IP address" does not start with 192, then post only the first 3 digits, along with the rest of the info.  To copy the info to your post, highlight the info, then use the copy (Ctrl-c) keys and the paste (Ctrl-v) keys.

  • Very slow 3G speeds with internal card on Vodafone network: solved!

    I'm running the internal 3G card on the Vodafone network in Australia (ThinkPad x200s, Vista) and a couple of weeks ago it slowed right down to less than dialup speed for no reason, and the speed hasn't picked up since.
    I finally figured out how to resolve the issue today. I downloaded the Vodafone Internet Connect utlility and now my Internet speeds are restored to 3G speed. However, if I use ThinkVantage Access Connections utility to connect to the Vodafone HSDPA network, the 3G speed crawls again. It appears this is a bug in Acess Connections utility and I'm not sure why it appeared (probably related to a Vista update). 
    Anyway, if you come across this issue, you should download and connect using the Vodafone Internet Connection utility, which contains many handy features including a usage meter and SMS features.
