5s poor wifi speeds

Had my 5s (a1533 gsm) two days now. I have a Linksys EA4500. My wifi speeds range from ok to downright bad. I tested at work using a lesser equipped Linksys router, and although not terrible they weren't great compared with my iPhone 5 (a1429). Anyone else having slow wifi issues? I've tested a couple other wifi devices and compared with my iPhone 5 and nothing else is affected. I rebooted the router but still slow. Running iOS 7.0.1. Comcast is ISP. Tried two different speedtest apps. Poor performance is noticeable without speedtest apps. At work there is less of a problem.

I'll add my 2 cents... of annoyance!
First, I have an iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s, updated to iOS 7.0.4
Second, I have an iPhone 4s, fully updated (note, this phone does NOT have issues with WiFi)
TESTS:
I will confirm that if I turn OFF Bluetooth on the iPhone 5s (not tested yet on iPhone 5), that I get my full "stable" 2.4Ghz spectrum back!
I'm using a Lynksis EA4500 router, fully updated. I thought at first that it was the router, but I've now tested signal from several devices: ASUS laptop with a Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 card in it (handles huge range), Dell XPS 18, with a Killer Wireless-N 1202 (great range), I have also a Wii U, Blu-ray player, and ROKU attached via WiFi, None of these show problems with the 2.4 range (esspecially streaming on the ROKU).
So, in final... it must not be a hardware issue on the iPhone 5s, but may more a software issue?! And now I'm annoyed that I have to be mildly inconvenienced by having to turn on/off my bluetooth. Sad Day!
Apple, if your listening, can we get this fixed? please.

Yoga 13 Extremely Poor Wifi Speeds

I currently have the most recent driver installed(1.04.0213) and all other current W8 updates are installed, but I am still experiencing poor WiFi performance. I have also changed the wireless adapter setting power saving mode to Maximum Performance for both the "On battery" and "Plugged in" options in Windows 8's advanced power options menu.
I also have the following options set on the advanced tab for the Realtek WLAN card:
Antenna Diversity Type: 1
Bandwidth: 20_40Mhz
Selective Suspend: Disabled
Selective Suspend Timeout: 60
WiFi Config: Performance
After the most recent driver update, my connectivity issues were resolved, but my speed issues were not. My current set up is as follows:
PC: Lenovo Yoga 13 w/Realtek RTL8732A Wireless LAN 802.11n
Router: RT-N56U IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n, IEEE 802.3/3u/3ab (Firmware is up to date)
I rarely am able to exceed 10 Mbps and am lucky to average between 1-2 Mbps. I currently pay for Frontier Fios Internet rated at 35 Mbps down and 15 Mbps up. Websites take a ridiculous amount of time to load and YouTube videos can't be played without constant buffering.
Every other device that I have connected to my router, whether they are hard wired or wireless, is able to maintain 30-35 Mbps, even at peak usage times. I currently have a MacBook Pro, an iPad 3, HTC One(M7), Iphone 5, Asus Essentio, and an Asus X54C laptop that are all operating as expected on my network.
I know similar threads exist on the message boards for the Yoga 13, but none of the "Solutions" address this issue. Please address this issue and post a solution that is a permanent fix for this laptop! It has the potential to be an amazing device, but the WiFi issues are keeping it from reaching its true potential!

R6300 poor wifi speed with upgraded internet speed

Hi! Recently Comcast upgraded my internet speed to 75Mb from 45MB. I have a Netgear R6300 router and when I was at 45 MB the router was able to run WIFI at 45MN too. Now that I have 75MB - 80MB shooting thru the modem my router hardly can run WIFI at 20MB? Anybody experienced this issue? I called CC TS and the rep told me that they are having a lot of people calling with similar issues with Netgear routers and Xfinity... He offered no explanations why at all. His recommendation? Buy a new router... or get one of theirs... are they kidding me? This makes no sense to me. I rather move to Charter than going and buy a new router because CC can't get along with Netgear routers. Help please, anybody? Thanks

Just rant the speed test - hardwired to laptop thru router DSLreport speed - 45MB download, 11.4 upload so is showing better speed hereXfinity speedteast - 88 MB download, 12.1 Upload WIFI speed test thru DSL report usign Ipad right by router- 68.2 dowload, 12.02 upload2nd test = 73 MBdownload, 12.6 MB uploadJayInAlg wrote:

Mac Mini 2012 Poor Wifi

Hi All,
I've had my 2012 Mac Mini (the basis of my home music recording setup) about 9-10 months and always had poor wifi connection. Download speeds are terrible and it can take hours to download a few MBs
My provider is Sky Fibre Broadband with the Sky Hub. It's all less than 12 months old. It doesn't seem to have the 5ghz option that's been mentioned.
Another point to note is that the signal isn't trying to penetrate several thick walls, the Sky hub is in the next room less than 10 metres away with a direct line of sight through 2 doorways.
I've been through everything in this thread Intermittent and slow Wi-Fi connection on Mac Mini Solved! to no avail. I've tried turning off monitors, speakers, hard drives, bluetooth (even though I need to use this to connect my iPad for studio use). It's completely unusable. I even have the sky booster for the wifi sat next to the Mac and it makes no difference. My Mac Mini is updated to latest OS X Mavericks which took a very long time to download!
The only thing left for me to try is running a long ethernet cable from the sky hub to see how it is wired. This I am going to do today when I'be been to buy a cable as it's not convenient and unworkable to strip down my home studio to move it to another room.
Yesterday I spent a long time on the phone to apple support and they seem to think there's a problem with my home network and interferance. We went through all sorts, deleting startups items, caches and so on
Although every other device in my home works absolutely fine. These include Windows 8 laptop, Google Nexus, LG G2 Android Phone, iPhone 4s, 2x iPod 4th Gen, Xbox 360, PS3, LG Smart TV, iPad Air. Note these aren't all on at the same time!
It did connect using the iPhone 4s as a hotspot to test which is why Apple insist there is no problem with the hardware, although the WiFi doesn't pick up any other local networks available for example my neighbours of which there are around 8 I can see on other devices.
Any thoughts?
Out of interest does anyone think getting an Apple Airport Express, connecting it to the Sky Hub but connecting my Mac to Airport rather than the Sky Hub directly would work? In effect creating an isolated connection from the other devices in the house? Maybe they will take to each other in a nicer way. I'm a bit confused by what I can do with the Airport and want to afford splashing out on different routers etc. Trying to get them to work on Sky I can just feel the headache!
Thanks in advance, hope the above is enough info

If you ALT+Click on the Mini WiFi icon in the menu bar, you should see a 'Open Wireless diagnostics'. If you click on it and press command+2, it will bring up a utilities window.
There are two functions that you should consider. Wi-Fi Scan and Performance. There is also Logging, Frame Capture and Info. You can look at these and analyze what may be issues with your Mini.

Poor WiFi performance on fibre

Having low speeds since having fibre. Rang technical a few weeks ago who said to change channel and put something else to 54g performance. This has made no change. Seen on forums about poor wifi on router so did wifi speed test and got 12.16 Mbps. Did wired speed test and got 37.94 Mbps. Router stats Down. Upconn speed. 40000 kbps. 9999 kbpsline att. 12.2 db. 0.0dB noise marg. 22.4 dB. 22.22 dB can anyone help with what to do next

Hi It isn't a hard task piggybacking a wifi router onto he Sky Hub. All that is required is picking the right wifi router for the task within your budget. Personally I recommend Apple AirPort Extremes because they are very reliable and easy to setup, they almost set themselves up automagically. The internet provider you pick is completely up to you, but be advised that I've seen those on Virgin Media with their wifi router have reliability issues, and they have also needed to piggyback a wifi router on to Virgin Media's offering. Realistically how can one expect ISPs to offer top notch wifi routers when they are attempting to offer a good broadband service only, they clearly aren't specialises in offering wifi products because of the cost associated with manufacturing such offerings.

Poor Internet speed, TC 535kbps but through WAG300N 6654kbps

Ok so I took the plunge and purchased a new TC 1TB yesterday and after going through the Airport Utility setup process everything seems to be working apart from the very poor internet speed when connecting via the TC > WAG300N.
Linksys WAG300N Download-6654kbps / Upload-355kbps
Apple Time Capsule Download-535kbps / Upload-348kbps
_*TC details*_
Status: Normal (Green)
Version: 7.5.1
_*Internet Connection*_
Connect Using: Ethernet
Ethernet WAN Port: Automatic (Default) +*I have tried all the options with this setting*+
Connection Sharing: Share a public IP address +*I have also tried the "Off (Bridge Mode) setting*+
TCP/IP
IP Address: I have set manual
Router address: Points to my WAG300N
DNS Server(s): This is set to my WAG300N +*I have tried the DNS addresses from my ISP which still result in the 535kbps Download speed*+
I have tried different Cat cables and different ethernet slots from the TC WAN to the WAG300N, I have also connected my MacBook with an ethernet cable directly to the TC. The hardwired connection still gave me the same speed test results.
I hope I have listed all the information that someone might need to help me out. If you need any further details just shout and I will post them.
One last thing, could this be a faulty Time Capsule?

Good News
I borrowed my father-in-law's old 3COM modem/router to test out my feeling that the ethernet ports on my WAG300N were not playing ball.
I'm now a very happy bunny! setting the 3COM in Bridge Mode and using PPPoE on the Time Capsule I have my MacBook and iPhone the wife's XP laptop and BlackBerry all running through the Time Capsule
My speeds are now as they should be:

IPhone 6 wifi speeds and syncing over wifi... lots of issues!

Hello,
After setting up my iP6 (and my wife's) i've been seeing terrible results with internet speeds over wifi. My home is wired for fast speed (FIOS 50/50) and I do not have other devices on the wifi network. I've tried using ookla (speedtest.net) and a few others, things look bad. My iPad mini will easily hit 25/15, but my iP6 is hitting 1/2 (upload vs download).
I've also noticed both devices have trouble with wifi sync on my Mac Air.
I've reset the network settings, Apple wants me to download and reinstall iOS8. That showed 30+ hours due to their servers being busy...
Any thoughts or is anyone else seeing this with their phones. Apple wants me to contact ATT even though I purchased applecare+, not really the response I was looking for after spending 1600 on 2 new phones that function poorly.
Thank you.

I had wifi speed problems after doing a iCoud restore myself. Resetting the network settings worked for me though.

Poor WiFi performance of Yoga 2 11?

I have just purchased a Yoga 2 11 and find that connectivity is poor (zero to two bars) and unreliable (occasionally reverting to a yellow exclamation point) in my favorite thinking chair. I get reasonable performance at the same location from other machines including a T420, a Nexus 7, and an IPad. After reviewing some community forum fixes for the presumably Yoga 2 Pro, I have checked to ensure that I have the most recent driver; that I have turned off bluetooth; that I am not using protected sharing; that windows is not managing the wifi Plus I have installed on the order of 33 windows updates (a pretty large number considering this is right out of the box on the first day of availability!). Am I missing anything or is this a problem related to something unfixable like the antenna design? Other potentially connected diagnostic information is that some sites e.g. zillo do not load quickly behave very smoothly, even in locations with more than one "bar" of wifi connectivity. Thank in advance for any input.

I see the same poor wifi connection when comparing to my old laptop and to my Galaxy S4. I updated the driver but it did not help (think it was the same one). I have a week left for no hassle returns and if this cannot get resolved I think this unit has to go back.

Slow to no wifi speed on 4s after ios 6 update

yesterday I updated my 4S to IOS 6 and now my wifi speed is zero. I've restored the phone, deleted the wifi network and rebooted everything and I still cannot even complete a speed test on the phone, it's so slow. It will not pull up a map or download an upgrade.

I, too, had slow WiFi connections when able to connect at all after upgrading my 3rd generation iPad to IOS 6. I think I found a way around the problem this morning and have notified my Apple support contact with my findings.
The following provides a little background about my specific problem:
After upgrade to IOS 6, home network wouldn't connect
Tried all the suggested options (recovering iPad- twice, Auto proxy, turning wireless and airplane mode on/off, rebooting iPad, disabling wireless security) none of which solved problem
finally able to connect by reconfiguring my Linksys E1500 router to use channel 6, confusing because it use to work, but at least I was connected
In my office I had great connectivity with no modifications - ran speedtest and had >18Mbps/sec download speed
Figured it was my router so was getting ready to buy an AirPort, when I found that my Mac-mini could be configured to operate as a router
Configured the Mac to share my ethernet and got excellent connectivity on iPad >18Mbps/sec, same as in the office
Tried all Linksys router channels and found could only connect on channels 6, 7 and 8 and only when channel width was set to 20Meg. Could only connect using 20/40Meg channel width on channel 6.
Throughput on channel 6 was: 0.72Mbps down, 1.05Mbps up with a ping time of 156Msec (Note router was in N/B/G or "Mixed" mode)
Reconfigured the Linksys router to only use B/G mode and the Auto channel selection now works and got the following throughput: 6.79Mbps down, 3.30Mbps up and 975Msec ping (Note this was about 50 feet from the router - same conditions as above. When in the same room as the router got: 19.58Mbps down, 3.38Mbps up, 982Msec ping)
So for my specific problem I could acheive acceptable WiFi performance by downgrading my LinkSys router to not use "N" mode. Since N mode works between the iPad and the Mac I suspect there could be an issue with Apple's implementation of the protocol, but I've supplied this information to Apple in the hopes they can address my issue in their next patch release.
I hope this information is useful to others.

Wifi speed and the new Apple TV concerns

One of the great things about my classic ATV is that I can start downloading a movie before dinner, and know that my viewing experience later won't be subject to variances in the wifi speed. In my experience, wifi speed and reliability can vary widely - and my worst nightmare is a video that stutters or freezes.
I new the new box has the faster modern chip, but I'm concerned Apple has no control over what might be the weak link: the wifi connection.
Is it time to make a run on a couple of classic boxes? Are they still in stock anywhere?

The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.
(See also: Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895)

I have recently upgraded my ipad mini to iOS 6.0.2 and still have poor wifi performance. My 3rd generation ipad works great on the same network. I have done all the resets I can think of but nothing helps. I would not have purchased the mini had I known.

On the same wifi network, third generation ipad, iphone4s and MacBook Pro work just fine. The ipad mini often can not connect with the mail server and seems to hang a long time trying to open a web page. Had I known the mini had this kind of difficulty on wifi, I would have reconsidered my purchase. I have tried resetting the network and renewing the lease on the mini in addition. To completing the most current iOS upgrade. Still poor wifi performance. Unacceptable, in my opinion.

Yes I tried this manyfold. But did not work. Reading on, I took Tesserac's advice. Shut down router and computer.
Start router after 15 minutes and wait another 10 minutes before starting the computer.
Et voila.... everything is back in working order,

HT5642 WiFi speed issues with iPhone 4S since the update

Since the update the WiFi on the iPhone is terrible. I run a 50mb speed and barley get 2mb. My iPad is getting 39mb speed. Is there a problem with this update for the iPhone that affects WiFi speed?

I am having the same issue since updating to iOS 6. It has been noticeable on my iPhone 4S and a little less noticeable on my iPad 3 but I think it is happening on the iPad too. Very annoying problem. One way to get it to work better is to re-boot your phone. It will work for awhile then and then eventually not be working anymore and you will need to re-boot again.
Just to be clear with everyone - the iPhone looks like it is connected to the wireless, it gets an IP address but can't transmit any data. Device: iPhone 4S, OS: iOS6

Yoga 2 11 Poor Wifi connection and slow.

My Yoga 2 11 is getting worse wifi speeds than my GS3 smartphone, I have already tried updating the drivers. I have installed all the drivers that came in the sub-partition of my laptop and also went to the lenovo website and got the latest WLAN and LAN drivers. At home my wired speed is 6Mbps while when the laptop is right next to my router and at full bars at best it gives me 1Mbps internet connection. One or two bars less and I get dropped to .5Mbps speeds. Please advise.

Maybe the wifi antenna cables are damaged? You'd need to take it apart to see if it is.

Is there a fix for slow wifi speed on U310?

I bought early july a IdeaPad U310 in Texas, and then I moved to Belgium to study. The wifi speed was awefullt slow. So having read the forums, i rang the support in Belgium, and after long discussion, i sent the laptop for repair. Service was fine, but extremely slow, with no information what so ever of where the pc was, if it was received for reparation... anyway, three weeks after, so that today. i received it back and, according to the intervention report, the wireless controler was replaced. The thing is, the problem ofthe U310 is not a defectuous part, it is something more fundamental. I tested the PC in various speed test website.
I have three laptop, a Lenovo W520, a HP Mini 110, and the IdeaPad U310.
I used speedtest.net and brosdbandspeedchecker.co.uk
the result are
Lenovo W520: Download: 19.64 Mbps Upload: 1.99 Mbps
HP Mini 110: Download:15.72 Mbps Upload: 1.28 Mbps
IdeaPad U310: Download 4.75 Mbps Upload:2.1 Mbps.
Now, the speed on U310 is not that catastrophic (not like the 0.3 Mbps I was getting) but still not great and rather much slower than the two other machines, and not fast enough to watch a movie in streaming, it pauses all the time.
So what should i do? Send it again?
But is there a fix to the problem? Because keeping changing the wifi controller as they did did not fix the PC. The MEDION Repair center, which is in charge to repair Lenovo for northern europe (i guess) stated as well that the test "#winstress#" as been done. What is it? Yes the wifi works, but way too slow.
Thanks for advice.

this has already been shown to have no effect.
In fact changing the pwoer setting on the N-2200 doesn'tt change the amount of power it gets.

How can I maximize my wifi speed using the Time Capsule?

I do not feel that my wifi speed is as fast as it should be. I have a 2 TB Time Capsule and connect wirelessly with an Apple MacBook Air, an iPhone 5s, an iPad 4, and iPad mini. The online manual just tells how to do the initial setup but not how to tweak the settings. Any idea how I can check my settings?

There's little if anything to tweak. Your wireless speed will depend upon how many devices are using it at the same time since it is shared bandwidth. Wireless is also affected by what's between the device and the router like walls, ceilings, and other obstructions. If you have two devices connected at the same time one of which only supports 802.11a/b connections and one that supports and another that uses 802.11a/b/n (faster), then your network speed will drop down to the speed of the slowest device connected.
Just use it. There's little you can do unless you have defective hardware.
