Am I missing something? USB Ethernet appears to be much slower than wifi.
System = Macbook Air early 2010
OSX = Mavericks
Have been using wifi to backup via time machine to windows 7 SMB network share.
Expected to see much faster backup times when ethernet attached using the Apple USB Ethernet dongle but the backup times seem much slower. Am I missing something here? Anyone else with experience of ethernet versus wifi for intranet/local network data transfers?
Thanks,
Bennie
Csound1 - My tests have indicated you are correct. Had not done the match before acquring the dongle. Seems like a waste of money unless you don't have access to wifi.
Thanks

Internet Speed Through Time Capsule Much Slower than Direct Ethernet
My internet download and streaming speed is pitifully slow. I'm connected by an 802.11n wireless network based in my 1TB Time Capsule. I swear it used to be faster, and has been slowing down. When I'm connected directly to my cable modem via ethernet, I'm getting T1 speeds. But through the TC, I'm getting bad DSL speeds. I originally set up my network automatic defaults. I've tried setting static DNS settings (according to a discussion thread that seems to have worked for others), changing airport channels, rebooting, etc., and nothing helps.
I haven't located much about this problem in other discussions; any threads I have found are mainly unanswered. Am I missing something? Can anyone help?Weejun wrote:

That may be due to a weak WiFi signal. To provide a third data point, connect your MacBook Pro to the a LAN port of the Time Capsule with an Ethernet cable, turn off your Mac's AirPort circuitry, and rerun your speed tests. That will allow you to separate the effect of a wireless connection from the effect of the Time Capsule.
I'd also investigate the signal strength and noise of your wireless connection as described in this post:

USB XFI 5.1 sounds much worse than XFI Xtreme Music
why does the XFI 5. Surround USB sound so much worse than the internal XFI cards like the Xtreme Music? The USB version sounds really cheap despite using the same settings. I don?t think its broken, I also tried it on 2 different pcs with the same bad result. it sounds like some cheap onboard sound.
i use windows xp SP3
thnx -
Why is ethernet slower than wifi?
What might be the reasons for ethernet being slower that wifi?
Nope, Cat5e is certified at 1000Mb/s. And the wireless will not even be close to that.

Am I missing something? Spotify could be so much better!
Hi folks, New Spotify user here. Initially when my friend first took out his tablet with Spotify and we were all passing it around I was really impressed, however now I've got an account myself I've started to notice a lot of really surprising shortcomings and after perusing these forums it looks like that has been the case for years... in fact in a few cases it sounds like Spotify has actually taken away functionality from us! Anyway, below are a list of my gripes with the software, if there are ways to get around them that I should don't know please let me know, as I said I'm still fairly new to this. Dragging Albums & Artists in to Playlists - Click 'Albums' under 'Your Music' and drag one of them over a playlist, you'll notice initially the icon is a cross to suggest you can't do that... a few seconds later that will change to a + to say OK that's fine. Let go to drop the album in there are there and the whole application freezes while it adds a couple of songs to a playlist... Then you find that it hasn't added the songs from that album that you have added to your collection but the ENTIRE album... this is wrong in my opnion, only the ticked songs should be added. Worse still if you try and do the same with an 'Artist' in your library it will just freeze up and do nothing at all.Filtering Playlists - I've seen elsewhere on the forums that used to be possible... and that Spotify removed it about 2 years ago and have just never put it back... how is that acceptable? You can do it on the Android app but not the Desktop one?!Can't Hide 'Friends' Panel - Hurray for social crap As far as I can tell you can no longer close the 'Friends' panel on the right-hand side of the desktop application which is pretty annoying as it is completely broken (rarely, if ever tells me what my friends are actually listening to).Adds Duplicates to Playlists - For a while I thought this user error but dragging songs (or even right-click and Add to Playlist) occasionally, for no reason at all, just adds the song to the playlist twice... annoying.No Tags or User Genres - How, in one of the most popular music players in the world, is there not the functionality to add tags to your music or at least put them in to user-defined genres. Instead all I can do are playlists? Really? I've seen this mentioned on the forum previously, I don't know if it's something they are working on but it's long overdue.Combining Local Music in Song List - So the only way to listen to all my music, as I understand it, is to drag all my spotify songs in to a Playlist and put all my Local songs in that playlist as well... OK... the problem with this is then I have to add every song I ever add to my collection to that playlist as well and as I've already said it decides to add duplicates when it feels like it so it will be a pain in the arse to manage effectively.No Smart Playlists - If you've ever used iTunes you'll know one of the few good things it does is allow you to create smart playlists by just creating a few rules to determine what types of songs to add to the list... this is sorely lacking in Spotify. There's so much I love about Spotify but why are they developing this video crap when they could be making their apps in to the best music player out there? Right now even iTunes has more music playing functionality and options for the user than Spotify does... This time next week Apple's streaming service will be released and if it streams as well as Spotify (which it undoubtably will) and works through iTunes (a vastly superios music player than Spotify for the most part) I would seriously consider leaving Spotify for Apple.
Hello: I have went through all your points using the 1.0.8 app version and a Win 8.1 64 bit machine. All points other than 5 and 7 which are Idea requests, everything runs like it should. I can drag and drop content without any doubles being added. I have search filtering in playlists. I can play music from all sections of my account, even content not added into a playlist. I can hide friends feed just fine. I will contend there is a slight delay with dragging and dropping content into playlists and when a user system registers the movement within the Spotify app, but it is maybe a 1 or 2 seconds longer than before on the Spotify 0.9 desktop app. I probable will avoid Apple music on personal reasons, I have already checked out the free limited skipping of the radio stations, not that much different from Pandora to be honest. I am not actually a fan of how they have behaved the last few years, and their recent dealings with the music labels to try and undermine free Ad trier music streaming access. In fact I have found Apple lately to having behaved arrogantly and with disdain for the free market system, because they where unable or unwilling to actually create a free ad trier streaming music access to compete. I am not all that big on Internet radio to be frank, I haven't touch my Pandora account in about 2 years now, so Apple is not offering me anything I do not already have access to between Spotify, Youtube, and the occasionally album I can only find at Rdio only. I am set and happy.

USB copying to flash Drive very slow suddenly!
hi
i just got my brand new macbook and the ipod touch and so far i love my new mac experience at first i copied my music( 5 GB) on a flash drive and copied it to my macbook and ipod since they both r 2.0 usb they did it pretty fast!
later i was copying the same stuff to the same flash drive and it took me 2 hours to do that the ipod still syncs at a good speed but i don't know if the problem is in the drive or the laptop
i have the same problem on my windows xp machine which has 1.1 usb but the it's much slower than it's supposed to be!
i've searched the forums and other guys have the same thing but no solution !
i swithced to mac to get over windows problems but i'm starting to get disappointed!
any help would be appreciated and plz give me some advice on how to handle the new keyboard! and anything mac
thanks !I have been experiencing the same problem with an Intel iMac 17" here. I use a variety of external powered hard drives and flash drives via USB. I notice last month that transfer speeds had dropped considerably. That and the fact it had been a year or so since I had last reinstalled prompted me to completely wipe out and reinstall the OS (10.5).
After a complete erase and install, with all current updates applied as of this date, the problem still persists. For example, I have my iTunes library on an external self-powered hard drive. Playing songs is fine, but video is unwatchable. Just now, I attempted to copy a movie file (approx. 700 mb) to a USB flash drive. The reported transfer time was 5 hours!! This is true across the board for me, no matter how the configuration is, be it devices connected directly to the machine's own USB ports or through a powered hub, having self-power or powered through the port.
This problem has only started for me in the last couple of months, with regular updates applied as they came out. Resetting the SMC has also not worked. -
How do I access the USB harddrive on E3000? Am I missing something?
I have my router setup fine to the internet, as well as the media server. I can't figure out how to access the hard drive from my laptop, however. The manual says put 192.168.1.1 in the address field of windows explorer, but it just gives me the "Setup" page for the router.
Am I missing something simple? I'm using Windows XP.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Click on Start -Go to Start>>Run/Start search and type "\\192.168.1.1" (Without quotes) and hit enter, and it should prompt you for the Username and Password, in the Username and Password use "admin" all in lower case and click Ok...Now you should be able to see your USB Drive... You need to right click on it and select "Map Network Drive" and check the box Enable and below click on Finish... This will Map the USB Drive on your computer... Once done you will be able to Send and Receive the data from your Computer to the USB Drive...

Cannot apply OS image to lenovo with usb Ethernet
Greetings,
We have a Windows 8.1 task sequence which works fine on over a dozen laptops that have an ethernet adapter. We recently acquired a Lenovo Helix machine that doesnt have an inbuilt adapter but has a usb ethernet adapter. I found the driver for this
and added it to our winpe image (we are using sccm 2012 r2, adk 8.1, winpe 5). When I use the same task sequence, it always fails on the apply OS image step. Relevant log entries here:

Does OSD have a problem with USB ethernet adapters? It appears so....
Thanks
David ZYes, it does have something to do with USB Ethernet. Before conclusion, we may check if there is a workaround or fix for this issue to make OSD work. So, please check the IP Info when the issue happens.
Another way is to use a Standalone media.

I have, on order, a 13" MacBook Air (128Gb) and intend using Migration Assistant to transfer data from my 4 year old MacBook 13" (White) on set up.
I have ordered an Apple USB Ethernet adaptor and have today purchased an Ethernet cable.
I will want to transfer;
Mail........Mailboxes, their contents and account settings. In fact the lot except the application itself.
Safari..... Bookmarks, Cookies, Saved Passwords etc. As above
Google Chrome.........same
Address Book
iCal
iTunes
iPhoto
Documents. Excel, Word, Powerpoint & pdf's (a clean install of Office for Mac 2011 will take place on the MBA)
MacBook and applications are currently up to date and I've read about disabling the energy saver to sleep option.
Is it all that simple or am I missing something?
Can Account Information in Mail be migrated?
Will saved links be transferred in Safari (especially that of my ISP's customer area)? You have no idea what navigating around Orange France is like !
Sorry if I sound a little naïve but I'm English, retired and living in France and the nearest Apple Store is a 3 hour drive away so I'm doing it all myself.
Thanks
RichardUse Setup Assistant when your new Mac first starts up. See Using Setup Assistant on Lion (it's a bit more complete).
Unless you choose to omit things, that will set your new Mac up exactly like the old one, except for a few preferences, etc., that may be different for the different hardware.
If your old Mac isn't running Lion, there will be some other differences, too. See Changes in Lion from Snow Leopard. -
Connected ipad to computer with usb and downloaded 2 apps that aren't showing up on my ipad. Says they are downloaded on itunes, but I don't see anything on my ipad. Tried downloading AGAIN and it says the same thing. Downloaded but don't see them on the ipad. I have synced it several times. Am I missing something?
Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

Does anyone know what chipset is in the hp usb ethernet adapter MFG# XZ613AA#ABA?
OR, where I can find a usb ethernet adapter with an intel chipset?
Any help greatly appreciated! I have a Twincat x64 program that only supports intel NICs, and it only works sporadicaly in virtual mode.
Oh yea, HP 630 notebook, Windows 7, Realtek ethernet adapter.
Thanks again!If the adapter works with the printer, and you can get a recent and proper
driver from the HP support or downloads page, it should be able to print.
And there may be alternative drivers from gimp-print open source.
There also are powered ethernet hubs you can get, so all things ethernet
can be run from the main port on the computer and not be underpowered.
In fact, I have one in a box I don't use just yet because I can run my Epson
printer via USB over my AirPort Express (or AirPort Extreme) base station
and then the other printer, an all-in-one HP OfficeJet something, can run by
wire; since it won't work as a Bonjour printer and isn't seen as an option.
Some are supported and others may be conditionally able to work in these
different situations; so you may have to change your plans if a powered
Ethernet bridge, or whatever, becomes a second option; or other ideas fail.
The options include using the printer as USB, ethernet, or wireless; and
the latter may include the need to choose a compatible wireless bridge
or a wired Ethernet powered hub. And then seeing if you can get the
printer setup to see the printer when configured in whatever selection
or setup you've chosen to use can be equally ufn (unfun.)
If I wanted to run the HP I have by ethernet, it could do it; but you have to
note these things get an ID like the internet, sort of, if you use Ethernet.
Some adapters work and others may not; so it could be a hit & miss trial.
And some say there are advantages to the Ethernet if used on a network.
Good luck & happy computing! -
Firewire, USB, Ethernet, DVI - none of the side ports seem to work
hey guys, just got this macbook and whenever i plug anything into the side ports, the mac doesnt seem to recognize anything. usb, ethernet, firewire, anything. Any suggestions? Im relatively new to mac os so i dunno if im missing something simple, i thought this system was plug n play?
Make sure the device you are connecting to your Mac is turned on
If that doesn't work, you should definitely take it to the apple store and have them repair it -
2011 Time capsule poor performance or am i missing something?
Hope someone can help me on this as I am beginning to beileve all those nay-sayers that rubbish the apple products..
I have just bought the new 2011 2TB Time capsule, was so excited to see its performance, and then so disapointed to see that there is no improvement on my existing free router that was provided by my ISP 2 years ago!!!
Mt TC is directly connected to my original modem (which also acts as a wireless router..but the tech team at my ISP advised that this would be ok), and after wondering around my house with my i-phone 4, checking networks sppeds and range....it appears that my old network reaches farther in almost all places in my house, and the speeds are not notably different. In some cases I even lost the network completely on my TC, whilst my old wireless router reception still appeared on my i-phone.
I am hoping there is a logical solution that will improve my TC performance...otherwise I will have to join those naysayers. ...So far, very dissapointed but didnt want to post my comments on to the apple product web site until I checked i am not missing something obvious.
Note that when setting the TC up, I followed all the instructions, and selected create New network (rather than the bridge option).
Would welcome all advise and helpso if the tc is connected via a LAN connection directly from one of the ethernet ports of the original router...I still have to put it in bridge mode?
Yes, if you want to follow networking rules. As I mentioned, you only want one device handling DHCP (IP addresses) and NAT functions on a network. your modem/router provided by the ISP is doing that now. Any other routers need to be configured in Bridge Mode to allow the "main" router to control the addressing on the network correctly.
...if so, i could change to bridge mode to see if range increases (they are currently in the same room)
You can give it a try. That won't do anything about possible wireless interference issues, but it won't hurt to try.
Be sure power down the entire network after you configure the TC in Bridge Mode. Then start the modem/router first and let it run by itself a few minutes. Then start the TC the same way. Continue starting devices one at a time about a minute apart until everything is powered back up on the network.
i will also contact my isp tech time and ask how i turn the wireless function off the original modem.
The settings on most devices can be changed by entering in an IP address into your browser. For example, for an XYZ device, the default IP addess might be something like 192.168.1.254, for example. That will bring up a log in page with various pages or tabs for connection, wireless setup, etc. It should be a simple matter to turn off the wireless function on the modem/router that you have.
If you don't know the default IP address, you can probably find this by doing a Google search using the make and model number of your modem/router. So, the search box might look something like this:
Default IP address for XYZ model number 1234 -
