7.6.4 apple extreme slow downloading speed

Since downloading Airport Firmware 7.6.4 to my AirPort Extreme and Airport Express my down loading times have slowed. I have a good signal on all devices. I should have 20 Mbps of upload and download, my upload speed is 18 Mbps on speedtest.net but download is 2 Mbps. When I bypass AirPort Extreme and connect my computer directly I get 18 Mbps of uploading and downloading.

I have a fast connection from airport extreme. But all of my 3 airport express routers, configured to extend the network, are very slow: about 1/10 to 1/5 the speed of the airport extreme: 45-50 versus 5 mbps (though it varies somewhat). There is no great distance, no major obstacles, etc. Strangely, the upload speed is faster: 8mbps vs 5. There are sometimes a handful of devices connected to the network: a few phones, an ipad, a laptop or two. B
I've tried all the solutions I've seen on these forums, including downgrading the firmware. Made no difference.
The airport express units are roughly a 1.5 years old.

Extremely slow download speeds and internet browsing on Macbook pro

I recently got a 13"" macbook pro. System config - Maverick OS/i7 dual core/8GB RAM/750 GB HDD, Almost 690GB of free space available. I am expriencing extremely slow download and internet browsing speed. I have to wait for almost 10-12 seconds for normal sites to download. The app updates and downloads are painstakingly slow.
The internet speeds are working perfectly fine on my Windows Laptop, and even on my mobile phones. So, the there's no issue of network. Also, I have cleared safari cache etc, just to be sure. But nothing's really helping.
Can any one help me here.
Thanks !
Chetan

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If the answer is no, do that now and see whether there's any change.
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Log out and log back in. Any change?
Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Again, if only Safari is involved, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

IPad 2 / Apple TV slower download speed than laptop?

My Apple TV (gen 2) and iPad 2 both have issues with download speeds. Netflix has pretty much become useless on my Apple TV due to the slow download speeds. I'm currently using CableOne for my internet provider and I consistently get ~ 20-25Mbps download speeds on my laptop, but only around 0.75Mbps on the iPad 2.
I use a Linksys WRT64G router and currently have it set to use wireless "G" only, QoS and WMM disabled, WPA Personal Security with AES encryption and the wireless set to channel 1. All these settings were based off other user's findings that have had the same issues and yet I'm still having problems.
Both the iPad and the router have been rebooted without improvements.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance...

wireless is unreliable for the speedtest as it varies depending on home conditions so only way accpeted is by cable. if that also shows a problem then you can take it from there

Extremely Slow Download Speeds Compared To Pc

My PC when downloads the same file at 100+ kb/s when my MacBook downloads at maximum of 25-30 kb/s.
How can I speed it up.

I'm getting a slow download speed, what can I do to improve it?
If you are using a firewall or router, be sure that ports 6112, 3724, and 6881 through 6999 are open and forwarded to your computer and only your computer. Refer to your firewall/router's documentation for instructions on opening ports and setting up port forwarding. Also, make sure that no other programs that use bandwidth are running while using the Blizzard Downloader.

Extremely slow download speed on T420

Hi Forum,
I really hope you can help me somehow. My download speed on my T420 is extremely low, 500B/s, and from my ISP i have 5/0.6 Mbit. I've tried different browsers, tried to change anit-virus, tried to turn off anti-virus but nothing seem to help. However, this problem only occours on my T420 not on my other laptop or smartphone, where i can reach full speed. Furthermore, at some sites I can actually maintain the correct speed. Simply dont know what is going on, but its a pain in the..
Im using:
T420
Access connections
Wireless G network (situated 5 meters away)
Best regards

Extremely Slow Download Speeds when MacBook Pro is not plugged in.

I have a MacBook Pro 17" that I bought in May of 2007. I have Verizon High Speed DSL service. I have a Netgear wireless router. When my MacBook Pro is plugged in to a power outlet, it has very fast download speeds. As soon as I unplug it, it slows way down. I am talking like 2 or 3 minutes to load a page that would normally take about 1 second. Is there a setting I can change?

i have a similar problem. My MBP is taking a while to load pages. I dont know if its my internet speeds or my computer.

Extreme slow download speed

I am trying to download the RoboHelp 10 English Windows setup. I started the download and I can see the Akamai Download Manager is downloading the files. However, the transfer rate is 5 B/sec and it will take 19000+ hours to download. In addition, the download manager periodically pause the download from time to time and I have to unpause it by hitting the play button.
I am doing the download at work so the network speed is not an issue.
Is there something else I should be doing to get this downloaded?
Paul Chan

Network speed between you and the download server could be a factor. You can try canceling the download and trying again. Alternately you can try download using a different Internet connection or service provider.

Slow download speed

Trying to download Adobe Standard and experiencing extremely slow download speeds. My internet connect is good, and I've tried restarting. nothing seems to be working.

Out of curiosity I just downloaded Acrobat XI Standard from http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html
The download completed within less than 3 minutes, and I am 10,000km away from the Adobe download servers, at the other side of the Pacific ocean.

Extremely slow download s

Since last night, I have been getting extremely slow download speeds(.18mbs, yes .18mbs!) and 30mbs upload speeds. Called Verizon support and after the usual checks, they told me no one else in may area reported anything like I did and so they are sending me a new router to replaced the one I have since they believe that the router is the problem! After reading about the fios users in Tampa and their problem of slow download, I now have doubts about Verizon support. Any suggestions from the forum members? Thank you. Joe

After spending hours on the phone and 5 hour with a tech at my home there was no resolution. The tech checked cabling splitters and connected directly to the modem from the ONT outside. Still nothing. We tried with 3 different computers and nothing. Went to tier 3 support and still nothing resolved. The next morning another tech came with a company laptop. He did the usual checks and still no resolution to the problem. He was getting 0 download and 0 upload on his laptop. He finally connected his laptop directly to the ONTO outside and after some time he said that my parameters were all messed up. He had to reset them with the office and after a couple of hours all was back to normal. 35 Mbps up and down!
While the tech was checking out the connection at the ONT, I asked him if it were possible that the reason I had next to nothing download was because Verizon throttled down the speed by mistake with some other account. He just looked at me and didn't really say anything but 2 hours later all was OK! My advise to you is keep calling them and if they don't reply, tell them you will call FCC or any other consumer agency you can think of.
A far as Comcast, to use a popular phrase, Better the Devil you know than the devil you don't know! I hear that comcast is no saint either!
Good luck.

How many thousands of Apple TV users have to scream their complaints before Apple will respond to the fury over the impossibly slow download speeds of movies bought through iTunes??????

How many thousands of Apple TV users have to scream their complaints before Apple will respond to the fury over the impossibly slow download speeds of movies bought through iTunes?

As jules says, your rate (currently at least) may be slow.
If it used to be good I wonder is your ISP is slowing ('throttling') your speed after you've used so many GB of a quota each day or month - check what they think you should be getting as a download speed.
While Apple's servers do occasionally play up, it's generally the ISP being slow not Apple.
If you're using Google's DNS servers that has caused issues for some.
Recommended speeds for near instant playback:
SD         2.5Mbps
720p      6 Mbps
1080p    8 Mbps
Is your speed test from somewhere like speedtest.net?
It might be helpful to post Mbps to ensure we/you are not confusing speeds by using different units to those measured.

Macbook pro: Extremely slow upload speed

Hi,
I know this question has beed raised many times before me, seemingly from hundreds or thousands of users, but none of the threads I have found has lead to any solution.
My new Macbook Pro (15 inch), using Lion 10.7.3, is simply unable to obtain anything but an extremely slow upload speed, when using Wifi. I am using an Apple Airpor Extreme wifi device. My work PC, my older Macbook Pro (13 inch), all tablets and telephones etc hooks up to the same Wifi device and obtain all the speed they should, but my new Macbook Pro is sloooooooooooowwwww and sometimes cannot even initiated an uload speedtest at i.a. www.speedtest.net.
As mentioned, I am aware that there are plenty of threads on this, but I am not aware of any that provides a solution.
Is there a solution or is my new Macbook nothing but crAplle?
Best regards,
n

My subscription is 10 Mbps downloadand 2 Mbps download. upload
I get that (10/2 Mbps) on all other devices, other than my new Macbook Pro.
On my new Macbook pro I get 10 Mbps download, but only from 0 to 25 Kbps upload.

Extremely slow download from Itunes store when on NAS

Hi All,
     Since the latest Itunes update 10.6 I've been experiencing extremely slow download from the store. Set up is as follows (with all the latest firmware and software upgrades done on everything)
     ITunes DB and XML locally stored on HDD
     Itunes Media Folder stored on NAS DNS-323
     DNS 323 NAS hardwired to network by 1000 Gb LAN Connection
     Cabled Internet connection at 60Mbps
There is no issue running Itunes from the NAS to MAC / APPLETV and other devices across the network wirelessly or hardwired, except when downloading purchases from the ITunes Store. One HD tv show takes 4 hours to download and averages 1Mbps speed.
     After running some test with various configuration it seems that the fact that the Downloads folder located within the ITunes Media folder (now stored on the NAS) is causing the poor download speed. When the Download folder is local on a HDD it's got no problem reaching 60Mbps.
     Unfortunately there is no way to tell ITunes to keep the Downloads folder local and the ITunes Media folder on NAS, it always stays within the Itunes Media folder no matter where this folder is located.
     Permitting Itunes to keep the Downloads folder locally while downloading files and transferring the files to the ITunes Media folder (wherever it's located) once it's fully downloaded might be the simple solution to this common problem.
     How about testing this out Apple!

I have some information to add to this. I've been seeing these problems for quite some time since I started downloading in HD. My library is rather large so I too decided to use another drive. My case is different though I have and extra 2 TB internal drive and my media folder is on it. This rules out all Wifi, network, or USB bottlenecks as a cause of the problem. I have noted a few oddities about this behavior and I will mention them here although I am not sure what they mean.
1. If I set up a long list of downloads it seems to crawl on all downloads. If I kill the "apple push" process the top two seem to speed up. I have to maintain the list and only enable two downloads at a time to get anywhere near reasonble speeds but this method is great for one or two downloads at a time.
2. I was curious about this problem after watching it download for hours on a 24MBPS connection for just a few shows. When I did yet another search I finally found this thread so I thought checking something out might be interesting. I set up some HD movies to download on my secondary system that only has one hard drive. Although not at full speed they began downloading much faster. Three movies are all downloading on the single drive system faster than the one alone on the system with the Itunes media folder on a different drive.
Both systems are hard wired to the internet.
Finding this thread made me very curious I was wondering if there would be a performance boost if I uninstalled Itunes, and re-installed it on the media drive. I really wanted that drive to be storage only but it makes me wonder if it would give different results or the same problem from not being on the OS drive.
Both systems are running Windows 7, and both are able to download streaming content, large files, or movies from other sites relatively instantly.

I was experiencing slow downloading speeds

I was experiencing slow downloading speeds(13.68Mbps) so I called my ISP. The ISP tech asked me to disconnect the cable from the airport express & plug the cable directly into the iMac. When I ran the speed test again I got 40.34Mbps download speed. The tech said that was proof that the problem was with the Airport Express & not the modem. However, now I do not have WiFi. And now I am only getting an amber light on the Airport Express. Any suggestions on how to have WiFi without slowing downloading speeds? Note: Downloading speeds were good until this last week. Please help!

Hiya
Airport Express model 802.11 Version 7.6.4
Does it have two ethernet ports on it?? or just one?
You suggest that I replace the Airport Express with an Airport Extreme: I do have an Airport Extreme in another room by our TV & Blu Ray to enable Netflix movies. A Mac Store technician set up the wireless system that way in 2010. Can I use 2 Airport Extremes instead?
Yes, that is no problem. I am guessing the Extreme is linking by wireless?? Or do you have ethernet between the Extreme and Express?
I am afraid of suggesting this, but I would consider just swapping the roles.. put the extreme on the modem.. and the express on the TV and bluray player.. and it will probably work fine.
What are speeds like to the Extreme on the TV? Does netflix play properly?
If you shut down the Extreme, does the speed get better on the computer?
Are you suggesting that the modem should be bypassed and the Express should be connected to the Mac by ethernet?
Not exactly.. you should already have an ethernet from modem to the express.. can you plug another ethernet express to the Mac.. assuming your Express has two ethernet and not just one.
"Try manually setting channels and forcing bands with different name." : I do not have any idea of how to do this.
Try the simple alternatives above. We can consider this as well if those don't work.
Do you have someone you could call easily and cheaply to try and sort the problems??
Otherwise buying a new AE is actually probably just as cheap as getting a technician in to look at it. Not that new equipment wrongly setup will work any better than old equipment wrongly setup.. but you have a month of free phone support from apple when you buy it new.
