A solution to slow internet on the iPhone 6?

I recently noticed an issue on Wi-Fi where my iPhone 6, on the 2.4 Ghz frequency, but not the 5 Ghz, web pages were slow to load or hung indefinitely. Sending iMessages was also slow, even if there were no attachments. From what I read, many are having similar issues on their iPhone 6’s.
I want to share something that worked for me to fix this issue: the web pages hanging made me think there might be something up with DNS server access, and I initially considered making them static on my iPhone 6 (I was using DHCP). However, as I have multiple devices connecting wirelessly, I instead decided to change my router (TP-Link TL-WDR3600) settings so that it would instead pass through to connected devices the actual IP addresses for the DNS servers (I use OpenDNS). That way I could keep each wireless device set with DHCP for DNS, yet have them using the actual IPs of both the primary and secondary DNS servers, rather than having just the single IP of my router and relying upon it to handle DNS requests.
I’m not sure if all router firmware has this capability, and I’m not sure the problem was with the router handing DNS requests, as none of my other devices were having this problem, and I wasn’t seeing it with my iPhone 6 on the 5 Ghz frequency, but regardless the slow internet on my iPhone 6 immediately went away and I haven’t seen it happen again since (knocking on wood).

Hi silenced_one,
Please remember people reading your post only know as much as you detail in it.
ive read the posts offered here and tried the many workarounds
What have you tried specifically?
but im still loading pages at less than dialup speed and im on 7mps dsl.
What browser are you loading pages with? Have you tried another browser? Is your DSL router configured in the way your ISP recommends (MTU, VPC settings etc)?
im using ethernet to avoid disconnecting problems but id prefer wireless with my setup if possible.
What do you mean here? Do you mean you are having disconnection problems when connecting to a wireless network? If so, what is happening and what error messages are you receiving?

How often are you using the Internet on the iPhone?

I was wondering how often you guys are using the Internet on the iPhone?
Do you guys enjoy using the the Internet on it?
Also, do you like the keyboard on it?
Just letting you know that I am typing this on my iPhone!!
Sam

I flew from PDX to DAB today browsing the internet both via wi fi (fast) and Edge (slow, but usable) at various airports and other locations. This browser is the best! I do not have to take a laptop with me anymore. The re size feature is the key, all phone browsers will have this in the future.
Its been years since I was excited about anything in the tech world (and I own a Software company) but I gotta hand it to Apple they really did a job with the iPhone.

Is the wifi the only way to connecto to internet in the Iphone 3G?

is the wifi the only way to connecto to internet in the Iphone 3G?

No, you can connect via cellular, however you have to have a data plan for your iPhone. You may need to check with your carrier to make sure that is taken care of.

Can we please have a FINAL solution to slow internet in Snow Leopard?

I've read so many discussions but none of the proposed solutions work for me.
I installed Snow Leopard a few days ago and ever since internet pages take forever to load.
Before SL my internet was running perfectly. I have the same strength connectivity, my router didn't budge and I didn't even move my laptop location. I'm convinced it is SL and I am not happy that I may have to uninstall it and have wasted $30.
I also couldn't believe that there is no way to contact Apple in a way they can respond. They're just leaving the solutions up to regular users and maybe offering an update if a few million people complain.
Anyways, does anyone have a solution to Slow Leopard?

Sudden Slow Internet (for the past month or two)

Hi all,
I've had my iMac since December 2009 and it's always been well behaved. However, in the past couple of months, the internet speed has been inconsistent to the point where it is now pretty much as slow as it could ever be. Web pages take minutes to load, Dropbox is a no go and Skype just cuts out.
As well as the iMac, I have a Macbook and an iPhone and the internet on these is still as fast as ever.
I rang my internet service provider and they did a few rough tests before claiming it was the Mac that is at fault, especially if the laptop and phone speeds are okay.
So I just wanted to ask, are there any causes for slow internet? Is there anything I can do? Shoudl I investigate further with my ISP?
Ben

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.
Restart your router and your broadband device, if they're separate. Any change?
If possible, connect to your router with an Ethernet cable and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
If you can connect to more than one network, are they all the same?
Is networking always the same, or is the problem intermittent?
Disconnect all other devices from the network. Any change?
Boot in safe mode and test. Any difference?
If possible, turn off Bluetooth and disconnect any USB 3 devices. Any difference?

Can i use the internet on the iPhone in this case (PC(connected Ethernet) ----Bluetooth --- iPhone(no wifi, no network, bluetooth only))

iPhone (no 3g, no wifi, enable bluetooth)
PC (connected ethernet, enable bluetooth )
PC (connected Ethernet) <----- Bluetooth <------ iPhone : is possible ?

Because you cannot. The iPhone will not allow you to connect to an internet source via Bluetooth. It does not support that profile. If your PC will support Bluetooth, will it support creating its own wi-fi network? Can you transmit/receive wi-fi from the PC? If you can do that, you can connect to that wi-fi network with your phone.
Sorry, just read you did not have wi-fi on the phone. Why not?

Anyone know when Mac will have the fix for the slow internet due the 10.8.2. upgrade?

I just uped to 10.8.2 on a Mac pro, and know the internet throughput has dropped from a Ping of 87, download 24.24 Mbps , upload 3.82 Mbps to a ping of 248, download .37 and up of .17. I have plugged two other Macs (one at a time) into the same network cable as above and got the per 10.8.2 upgrade speeds. Seems that one must conclude that the slow internet issue must be due to the 10.8.2 upgrade. When will Mac have the fix for this?

This is sounding more and more like your ISP's DNS servers are slow; have you tried using Google Public DNS and checking if that speeds things up for you?

Does anyone know how to be connected to the internet using the iphone?

Hi I had notice that sometime when I carry my laptop, there is not wi fi recepction, does anyone know if it's possible to use the internet from the i phone and how to be connected? thanks

The simplest solution would be to have a second Chat pod instance that the translator could type into.
Otherwise you can look to use the Closed Caption pod, Closed Captioning, or you may be looking at building a custom pod.

Connecting laptop to the internet through the iphone

Do they have an app out for this?

It's called tethering and it is a feature of the iphone. You do not need an app. Your carrier has to support it.

Slow internet response on iPhone 4

Since I upgraded to ios5, my iPhone 4 is very slow when accessing internet data. Applications that are wholly held within the phone seem as quick as awlays. I have closed all running app, reboted the phone and have done a hard restart. Thoughts?

Good pointers here:

Slow Internet connection with IPhones using airport extreme

My Airport Extrem works fine with IPads and Mac Book but not with IPhones (very, very slow). Any advice?

Its Pretty simple if you need to change the network password on the wifi Just do a soft reset
To do this you need somethign small and skinny like a bobby pin then look at the back of the airport extreme for a tiny play button below that you stick the bobby pin in that for a full second.
Then go to your Pc go to aiport utility double-click your aiports name then go to the base station tab and you can change your password.
Having worse problems still?
Then you need a hard restart to do a hard restart (like last time) take out something small and skinny (such as a bobby pin) and look behind your airport for a tiny play button then right below that there should be a hole or a button use the bobby pin and stick it in the hole and leave it in there for 5.7 seconds then take it out and it should be rapidly blinking.
Then after it finishes blinking rapidly you need to set it up again like you did when you first got it.

Possible solution to slow internet speed

I'm not promising anything here but this worked for me. I recomfigured my AEBS from scratch and didn't fool with anything else. now the weird part that made my base station work finally was placing the base station on its face (part with light facing down) my connection is great once again. I also placed the Airport farther away from the modem . I think the New AEBS can't handle & causes interference with other electronic devices(in my case the cable modem is next to it with my macbook.)
overall, I think the EM field around the base station might be a cause of all the problems

I had the same problem. I had WPA enabled and my internet was slow and would not go over 4000 kb on speed tests. With no security i got 16000 kb.
There are quite a few bugs in the Airport Extreme. I have slow wireless with WPA and i cannot open any ports using NAT-PMP or port mapping.
Very disappointing.
Apple better release a update soon or i am goin to return it and buy the dlink dir-855 when it comes out. I want a dual-band wireless router.

Super slow internet for the last 2 days.

I've had verizon DSL for the past 3 years or so and it is typically very reliable and I usually get pretty good speed, but over the last two days the speed has been terrible. My ping is fluctoating between 400-600 to my game servers. I live in New Hampshire and it has rained a bit over the last two days, but nothing too major, and I've almost never had problems during the rain before. What is going on here?
Please dont tell me to get Fios because it isn't offered here.

Unknown, it seems to be the same issue as
NIght Time, Rain, Wet... Speed goes from 1500 to 300 (if I'm lucky)

Which means, there's hope!

My iPhone is sitting next to me happily syncing with Outlook. Well, maybe not "happily" as nothing that involves Outlook could really use that adjective.
