Boot Camp Internet Speed Drastically Different From OSX Speeds

I'm running windows 7 in BootCamp on a Mac Air (Early 2014); in BootCamp I am averaging 5M/10M. That's right for some reason my download is slower than my upload on the windows side.
On the OSX side I average 80M/15M.
These are both wireless numbers.
As you can see this is a drastic difference.
How can I take full advantage of my internet speeds on the windows side?
I have installed the BootCamp 5.1.5640 Drivers 3 or 4 times now per Apple's website however this has not changed my results. I have also disabled auto updates in windows as I know that can sometimes overwrite the drivers from Apple.
Any assistance or suggestions would be great!

This could be all sorts of things but i am inclined to have the same suspicion of others here which is that your ISP is messing with your bandwidth.
In the UK pretty much every ISP shapes traffic, i've ended up buying a VPN internet service to get around this permanently (this appears as encrypted traffic over the shttp port to your ISP) this is the only way i've managed to get consistent speed with everything.
The only thing this doesn't protect against is if you're ISP is throttling your entire connection - they usually only do this if you start to break your monthly bandwidth limits.
Anyway like i said this might not be the case at all... however you can get free VPN trials to test this, this one provides trials on request (they are manually initiated so be patient): http://www.yourprivatevpn.com/

Boot Camp - Read/Write Windows Partition from OSX?

I am assuming that if I format the Windows Partition with FAT32 I can read and write to the Windows Volume from OSX? But not NTFS?

Why not make 3 partitions instead? One with your existing OSX installation and all Mac applications, second in NTSF format for Windows system and Windows applications only and the third one in FAT32 for all data (My Documents, etc.) that will be shared by both OS's?

I have Mac mini and there is partition of boot camp but some miss understanding the osx 10.8.2 is deleted and while I m going to recovery mode the portition can not removing and the also cant repaired what I do I need urgent help ???? Please ?????

Do you have a Time Machine backup or clone? If not,
all is lost if you have in fact deleted your OSX partition
and you will have to do a reinstall from Recovery HD
and install all else.

How much does boot camp take speed from a macbook bro 15

Iam a architecture student and i need to buy a macbook for designing, And some of the program's doesnt work on OS-X such as Revit unfortunately , And i need to know if it does effect to much on the speed, please if anybody knows help me!!!. If its possible how much does it take, 50% 30% of the general speed.

When using Boot Camp, only one OS is running at a time. That OS has sole access to the computer's hardware; it won't affect Mac OS X's performance when running it.

Help with Boot Camp Internet Drivers (Mac Mini 2011)

Hi all- I've come here looking for some help / advice with regards to internet access on Boot Camp I have recently installed.
I have recently bought a Mac Mini i5 2011, and installed Windows 7 onto it. When I run OSX, I can access the internet with no issues, however when in Boot Camp, I come up against problems with Broadcom drivers and being able to connect.
I have put my Snow Leopard disc (from the MBP I'm transferring from) into my superdrive, and installed the 64-bit drivers.
I've also installed Boot Camp 3.1 and 3.2 updates.
I have also tried installing the Broadcom wireless n drivers after searching for them in the list.
Plugging an ethernet cable into the router doesn't work either, and I'm beginning to run out of options to try.
Re-installing Windows hasn't worked.
Any help will be appreciated, hope I'm not the only one to encounter this issue!

Google is your friend. An OEM DVD from another Mac is not though would think/hope - and forget reinstalling.
Blame Apple. Goes same for audio, graphics.
Broadcom drivers search on this forum.... should find lots of folks running into issues.

Boot Camp Internet Connection

I've installed Boot Camp & Win XP SP2....seems to run flawlessly. When I boot Tiger my network setup stays intact, yet when I boot from XP anything net related doesn't work. I was trying to setup a new network connection and noticed Device Manager claims not all my hardware is recognized like my Network Controller & Ethernet Controller.
Does anyone have a solution to this? Has anyone been able to setup a internet connection on their Apple product running XP? Do I have to find the manufacture of the network card included in my iMac and then see if I can find drivers for it? I doubt Apple would make these drivers available...and if they did they would already be included on the driver disk I had to create to install Boot Camp.

I'm running a 3rd part5y Dial Up, USB external Modem, marketed for both Mac and PC, (in the software cd, 1 set is for Apple, 1 for PC). Only problem I had, and I suspect is yours even though different connect/modem, was the Modem, only had drivers fro Wind..ws XP, NOT Wind..ws XP WITH Service Pack 2, I contacted the Modem maker, 1st saying I needed it for Wind..ws XP WITH S-Pack 2, right off they knew, and em'd me new drivers, for that modem, to work w/ XP 2. Apple won't ever (I'm sure), make/issue software drivers, to allow thier modem/connections to work on Win..ws also. I found 3 3rd party dial ups, which the same model is made for Mac and PC, yoou just load the Mac drivers on Mac side, and Win..ws Driveers on 'that' side. (Best Data , DiamondSupra, and Zoom all had dial up's for combo PC/Macs, maybe for ethernet/airport also?...Also, I tried downloading drivers on the inet/Mac side, the burned disc's, wouldn't load/work on PC side, so if you have to d-load drivers, do it from a PC, then try installing on your Artyificially intelligent Mac, G'Luck

After Boot Camp installation, Kernel Panic when launching OSX partition

Hey guys. I have a mac mini (early 2009) with Mac OSX 10.6.2 running. I installed XP Professional Sp3 using the Boot Camp Assistant with no errors. It works fine. However, whenever I launch the OSX partition, even in single-user mode, it Kernel Panics. What can I do to stop this?
I have a legal copy of XP and OSX, by the way.

this does not sound like a problem with anything on your drive then but rather a firmware issue. just to make sure, how are you booting from the DVD? reboot and hold "c" at the chime. any luck? if not reboot and hold option at the chime. this ought to boot you into startup disk manager where you can choose what to boot from.

Did Boot Camp, XP works great, question about OSX use now

Part of Boot Camp is you make a partition in your HD for Windows. I did this and now when I boot OSX there's a 2nd HD on my desktop title "Untitled" for XP. Will this secondary HD always appear when I run OSX? I find it very annoying on my desktop. If I can't get rid of it is there at least anyway I can rename it without reformatting it?
Thanks,
Jacob

you can rename it. boot to windows, right-click on "Local Disk" under "My Computer" and rename it there. when you boot back to Mac, it will have the new name.
You can't remove it from your Mac side though - it is a volume just like any other and will show up. my only suggestion would be to go to finder preferences and de-select "show hard disks on desktop"

Win 7 in Boot Camp: Drivers will not install from snow leopard cd.

I have a early 2011 Macbook Pro (8,1). I am loading Windows 7 with Boot Camp, but cannot get any of the drivers to install. (ethernet, video, etc)
I have tried both the Snow Leopard cd (I think it's Boot Camp 3.2?), and also downloading drivers online, neither work. I have tried reformatting/reinstalling, and even tried loading a old copy of XP and I had the exact same problem there too.
What happens: I install the drivers successfully, restart, and nothing has changed. I can see the drivers installed in the programs list (when I go to "uninstall programs") but if I go to Device Manager all of the devices (ethernet, video, etc) show a yellow triangle and say they need drivers! It's like I'm installing the wrong drivers or something.
I can't find any other posts with a problem like this, I have been working on this forever and am kind of at my wits end. Any ideas??

Don't believe what Apple posts.
If you don't have EFI64 like 2008 and later Mac Pro, then you will run into a hurdle and have to modify the Windows DVD to get it to boot and install.
To Apple, and due to the non-standard way they implemented UEFI, and that ours (2006/7 Mac Pro) all there was that we got was the 2005 EFI32 (affects our choices in graphics cards too).
I installed 32-bit, then installed 64-bit on another partition.
The DVD can be modified, from Windows, most easy method would be from any of the VMs like VirtualBox. Then use one of the 2-3 Imgburn or other tricks mentioned online (search for "Jowie" and search for the "Select CD-ROM" error you get trying to boot).

Boot Camp And Viewing\Editing Files From Windows

I just ordered Leopard and I'm going to putting it on my 20 Imac next weekend. My plans are to install Windows Vista home premium through boot camp. Is there a way to access files from Windows on Leopard and vice-versa? I have MS Office for Mac and Windows and I do photo editing and it would be nice to access and edit files as needed whatever OS I'm without having to reboot. Some kind of third party software available for this? Parallels is OUT OF THE QUESTION for me. I tried it a few months ago and it was nothing but a nightmare. Left me with a really bad taste for it.
Thanks.

Thanks Kappy,
I did a quick look at MacDrive and looks like what I was wanting. Will download the trial after my transition. Another question: When I install and setup Boot Camp will there be an option to format the partition in NTFS or does it do it by default?
Thanks again for the tip on MacDrive. I've only had this Mac for about 6 months and just learning what is probably old news to you.

Boot Camp not installed after transfer from PB G4

I just bought a MacBook (Black, 160 G HD, 2G RAM). When starting the new MacBook, I transferred my files from my old PB G4 to my new MacBook. All my files were transferred without any problem. But Boot Camp Assistant is no where to be found on the new MacBook. Search with Spotlight does not find Boot Camp. Any suggestions??

I realized that Bluetooth was not installed either. There might also have been other missing software that I did not notice.
I did an "Archive and Install" from the original Installation DVD, and everything seems to be installed and working well.

Problem with Boot Camp internet connection

I use Boot Camp only for playing games, and everything is working perfectly except for my internet connection.
That is, it works perfectly for some time then without any apparent reason it just loses connection.
It usually works for about 2 hours, then simply disconnects, without offering any explanation.
A restart solves this problem for another couple of hours, then it disconnects again.
This is quite bothersome when trying to play an MMO for any extended period of time.
I am connected to the internet via router that is directly plugged into the iMac and don't have any problems on OS X.
I'm running Windows 7 on Boot Camp and everything is working perfectly except for this.
Anyone have similar problems or any idea what this might be and how to solve it?
Thanks.

Ever figure this out?

Boot camp drivers won't install from Disk

I have an old MacBook running Snow Leopard (the original OS was Leopard), and I recently installed windows 7 successfully through Boot Camp. When I went to install the boot camp drivers, neither the Leopard or the Snow Leopard disks worked. I got an error message that read something about how "64 bit is not supported by this platform." Is there any way to get the drivers outside of the disks, or am I doing something wrong?

you got it installed, just naviagate to the folder with the BOOTCAMP64.msi and run that, use Admin Privilege, and use "Troubleshoot Compatibility Mode" to run it.
It isn't you, it is Apple's idea of supported vs unsupported for "older" Intel Macs.

Is it possible to use boot camp to install windows xp from only an update disk?

Hello,
I have recently come across some of my old windows applications and an update disk for windows xp sp1. All I have is the update disk and I partitioned my drive and booted into the CD. Whenever I got through some of the processes of the initial install it said that I had an update disk and prompted me to first install an earlier version of windows (in this case I do not own one). Is there anyway that I could bypass this part of setup and install windows using this disk (like I have on PCs with no operating system installed) or do I need to go out and purchase a copy. If there is anyway that you could help it would be appreciated very much because the way the economy is these days I would like to save a couple bucks here or there. Especially putting money to a company like Microsoft....it wouldn't suit my fancy. :D

Ok, so officially, you have to install it on your Mac's internal drive. Good, thanks for clearing that up.
I guess the only simple alternative to installing Windows on your Mac's internal drive is to buy another Mac, and install it on there instead I mean, you could have a Mac Mini or a MacBook, and have that running Windows under Boot Camp.

Installing boot camp in windows without the Mac OSX disc

Hello,
I'm pretty sure I've found the answer already, but it just seems really strange so I'm going to ask just to make sure.
1. I have installed Windows 7 64-bit Pro by starting with the boot camp assistant utility in MAC OS X.
2. Everything seem to work fine in windows except the wifi, touch pad, web cam and video drivers. The video drivers were installed via the manufactures provided drivers. The other drivers I was unable to find or update via the windows automatic search.
3. I looked through Apples website and found updates 3.1 and 3.2 of boot camp, but no non-update software.
It seems that I will need the OS X disc to install the 3.0 version of boot camp.
But surely, since all I am looking for is drivers these can be download without the disc that came with my laptop. I mean, if I can't do it any other way then so be it, but I'm not at home right now and I'm bored so...

Hope you went out and picked up 10.6.3 DVD for $29.
Now, when you are in Windows, copy it to disk so it is always there in the future, and back it up to flash card or something.
Sometimes you can find drivers but you need the motherboard set to enable the devices to begin with.
