Download Speed on PIX 515E is Pretty Slow

Hello, I have a PIX 515E set up between our office switch and our Comcast Business Router and the download speeds are not as fast as they should be. We are paying for 30 down 30 up but it's more like 10 down 30 up. I plugged in a computer directly into the router and got 30/30 so I know its not a comcast issue. I think it might be the low amount of memory on the PIX because its running at 109 out of a total 128mb. The PIX has a site-to-site VPN tunnel with a remote ASA 5520 firewall. The inside/outside ports are both auto/auto. The running config is only 161 lines.
Here's some information about the PIX 515E...
Version 8.0(4)
ASDM 6.1(3)
Memory 128MB
Here is the running config..

haha, so now i'm thinking. I'm learning the terminal as fast as i can but there are several lines of codes and commands in there that throws up red flags to me that i don't fully understand. It just looks fishy too me. It would be highly appreciated if someone could just check this out just to tell me that i don't need to worry about it. Or point me in the right direction. I just feel un easy about this. ha.

There is something Definitely wrong with iOS 7 regarding DATA USAGE being logged to wireless carrier in for WIFI instead.
I read all the previous replies and same issue.
I rarely use my mac to sync....its all wifi sync for the last 2 years....never had this issue before... and i know it began with iOS7.... here is why....
My iPhone was at home when I updated to iOS7 connected to wifi...but it logged Data Usage to Rogers Wireless (700MB approx)...data will never do an update over 50mb in app store (it gives the warning to use wifi) I play a lot of games and pay for them so I always update through App Store. 2 weeks later, simposons halloween update (650mb)...at home, using wifi.
Rogers told me there was 700+mb data usage on the day of update and 650+mb data on oct 1.st (tapped out).
Went over my 6GB plan and paid the fees.
This has never happened before...It must come to apples attention by now...

20meg download speed, yet MacMini/Safari is very slow in download page time

Can anyone tell me why this is? Could it be the ram? 20meg download speed is soooooooo fast and yet I wait for pages to load in Safari and FF?
Thanks

Download speed with Apple TV way too Slow

I have Apple TV and with that I have Netflix.
I am able to watch Netflix but on a TV show that we have purchased the download is 2+ hours. This is not acceptable. How can it be fixed. I have a fast connection to the internet - 30+ Mbps. So I know that it is not my connection to the internet that is the issue.
What can be changed ?? I have the setting of video at 720 not 1080 as I know that will slow it down. My wife is not happy and well it does not help with viewing pleasure.
Please help.
Thanks
FYI - it is the first gen Black Apple TV

There's a number of possibilities here.
In most cases the wireless transmission in the house is to blame.
You may be on a channel some other access point is using. You'd need to do a site survey to pick the most open frequency.
Your router may just be tired. After a while they just wear out and the wireless performance is the first to suffer. I change them out all the time for people.
You may be using old technology. 802.11B and G are obsolete. Consider getting a dual band router which would allow you to set the AppleTV on 5GHz (fast, open, seldom in use in the area). This also means your other stuff in the house can run at top speed without taking bandwidth from the pipe used for the AppleTV (best seen in Airplay, where neither are really using the internet, just the WiFi).
Then there's the possibility that the service itself for Neftlix is busy or your internet provider is choking for one reason or another...

I've extended my Time Capsule wifi via Airport Express and the download speed is still super slow

I get an average of 80Mbps download speed when close to the Time Capsule. When I got upstairs in the house the download speed drastically drops. So I decided to extend the wifi range using an Airport Express. See image below. I've placed the Express router upstairs in the house and when I stand close to the Express I get a very slow download speed. About 7Mbps. Even slower than when I hadn't "extended" the range. What's going on...?

I've placed the Express router upstairs in the house and when I stand close to the Express I get a very slow download speed. About 7Mbps. Even slower than when I hadn't "extended" the range. What's going on...?
Well, the first rule that you need to remember is that when you "extend" using wireless.....you will have a drop in the potential speed on the network. So, while you might have more "range" for the network, the network speed will drop. Nothing that you can really do about that other than connect the Time Capsule and AirPort Express using a wired Ethernet connection. There will be no speed loss over the Ethernet cable, so the Express should deliver approximately the same speed as the Time Capsule.
The next rule is that when a device "extends" using wireless, it can only extend the quality and speed of the signal that it receives. A speed "boost" will not appear.
Try locating the Express about half way between the Time Capsule and the area that needs more wireless coverage. Anything that you can do to minimize obstructions between the Time Capsule and Express and on to the other area will help.....but you will never get close to the performance of connecting the AirPorts using an wired Ethernet cable.
Unfortunately, Apple really doesn't tell you very clearly, if at all, about important things like the two rules above.

Slow Download Speed...Any Suggestions?

I ran a test on my download speed and got the following result:
Download Bandwidth Test Results
Download speed: 128 kilobits per second
Painfully slow! Anyone know how to solve this problem? I have a cable modem and my wife's computer (also a Mac) is much faster than mine. Thanks in advance.

It's an ISP question and you should ask them for more answers.
You'll probably get better results when by-passing the "wireless" part of your use.

Crawling Wifi Download Speeds from iTunes Store

Ever since upgrading to iTunes 10.7, my download speeds from the iTunes store have slowed to a crawl. Prior to upgrading, I was able to download video podcasts and other media @ over 10 mbps over wifi. I have tried this on several other networks, and am experiencing the same speed issues. This does not appear to be a router issue or a FiOS issue; I have done all of the usual troubleshooting and do not seem to have any issues with download speeds outside of the iTunes store.
I am running the iTunes 10.7, and have updated OSX to the latest release of ML.
Is anyone else experiencing ridiculously slow download speeds through the iTunes store using iTunes for Mac or iOS 6 devices?

I have a 50x5 Mbit cable business class modem, from Time Warner, in my house (doing that give me priority bandwidth over other residences).... Also as a business class there's no data caps or port blockings. The most I EVER get from the iTunes Store is 4-5MBytes/sec (about 35 Mbits)... Usually I get 1-2 MBytes/sec to iTunes or any device
My guesses are
1) Apple just doesn't have the bandwidth during certain times
2) I notice they throttle accounts. If I download an entire hd season, I start out fast, then it slows after a few hrs... Im guessing apple has a max data cap per day then slows you down.
3) I also don't think Apple is capable of handling all the new 35-50Mbit connections that are now readily available from the big cable companies.
Im in Charlotte, NC, USA

Q180 Slow Download Speeds

Just got my Q180 setup last night. It is connected to my Wireless N network. Noticed that while watching YouTube videos is was running out of buffer frequently. Decided to run a speed test on www.speedtest.net. Results show .65mb down speed and 6.5 mb up speed. My service should be 20mb down and 10mb up. So the up speed seems accurate, but the download speed is TERRIBLE, it's running at about 2% what it should be. I ran the same speed test using my laptop, from the same location and achieved 18mbps down and 6.5 up.
Is this a limitation of the Q180, or is there something wrong or a setting that I have to set to fix this issue? Honestly this thing is pretty much useless to me without a better download speed, after all, just about the only reason I got this was to do internet stuff on my livingroom TV.
Thanks,
Josh
Solved!

Unfortunately, I still have the same problem with this computer. I get very slow wireless connection speeds. I've tried 3 different wireless routers. I've moved it around. I've updated the wireless driver. Still get an average of 1-2mbps download speed and .5mbps upload speed on a 20down/10up connection. Each time I think the problem is resovled, the next time I use the computer, it's back again. The thing is pretty useless. I've never been able to turn it on and just go watch a video on YouTube on my TV, which was more or less the only reason I bought this thing, so it was a waste of money. And no help comes from the forums apparently either.

Very slow download speed with intermittent halts

Need some help.
I run Apple os/x latest version and have since yesterday begun to experience constant very slow download speeds.
I have rebooted the router and I have reset it. I have tested with wireless and wired into router. No real change.
The results are below and are pretty consistent no matter when or with what computer I test it with.
This is very frustrating and I would like to know if anyone has experienced this and if there is anything I can do before calling for service.
Thank you in advance.

Slow Download Speeds using itunes store?

Hi.
For the last couple of days any song i've downloaded on itunes has been downloading painfully slow, and im pretty sure it's not a problem from my end. Is anything like this happening to anyone else?

I have noticed the same thing. For the last days I have conly download speeds od 300 kbps from Itunes. At first, I thought it was my internet connection speed. I have checked and recchecked it. With differen meters I have 3 Mbps. So it is not a matter of my connection. It must be something happening at the iTunes store.
Please, if anybody knows about this problem, please advice.

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

Very slow download speed on ipad 2

Okay folks I need your help. I have just installed an Airport Extreme (newest model) wirless router and a new Motorola Sufboard modem and my interenet download speed is pretty good on the pc (23-25 Mbps). However, when I run the speed test on my ipad 2 it is pathetic (.14 - .18 Mbps). My iphone 4 is getting about the same download speed as well. I have reset all devices, tried forgetting the network and then signing on again, but nothing helps. What could be causing the slow download speed on the Apple products?

Okay I got it. I went into the Airport Utility and changed the channel selection from automatic to manual and then I changed the channel to something different. There are a lot of house in my neigborhood and I guess the default channel 6 was just way over crowded. Just did another test on my iphone4 and got a download speed of 18.33 Mbps. The ipad2 yielded a new speed of 24.24 Mbps. Much better now. Thanks!

WRT310N Playstation 3 Slow Download speed and general lag

Hey guys, I just recently bought the WRT310N and got both of my computers working with it. One is wired directly into the router, while the other is running off wireless. My Playstation 3 is able to connect to the router but I am getting an extremely slow connection speed.
Right now, both PC's get about 6.4-6.5 Mbps download speed while my Playstation is anywhere from 600 Kbs to 1.2 Mbps. I have plugged in my Playstation 3 directly into the modem and got a speed of 3.2 Mbps and was downloaded a demo very fast, but I do not recieve anywhere near those results when using it wireless.
Any advice? I have tried opening the ports, but that only seemed to slow it down. A couple of days ago I opened the ports specific to the game NHL 10 and for two days I was getting such a good speed in the game that it felt like I was playing offline, which was great! Then this morning, it just seemed do a complete 180. Now when I play the game I get an extreme amount of lag, and my other games like CoD4 get random lag spikes. Like, I'll be running and I get a lag spike which seems to happen fairly consistently every minute or so.
Any advice? Should I try opening the ports again or what?

I think you need to adjust the wireless settings of your Router, The wireless settings on your Router must have been setup to its default that's the reason you are receiving low signal strength on your PS3.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select TKIP...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

Slow Internet download speed, OSX 10.9.5

Since updated to 10.9.5, my Mac Pro Internet download speed down to 7 Mbps,
and same on My MacBook Pro 10.9.5 too. both use to be 70 Mbps.
I am paying $50.00 extra to get the highest speed from Time Warner.
My iMac is 10.9.3, tops 70 Mbps.
My iPhone 5s tops tops 30 Mbps
All in same WiFi network.
Upload speed all seem to be fine with 5 Mbps.
Mac Pro = Mid 2010
Processor 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 16 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB

Something wrong!

Even the 'respected' tools like Onyx, if you look at what (each and every update) states in the "what is new" and changes will be to improve compatibility.
Never use or install anything (and I include OS X updates in that category) without cloning your system and having TimeMachine that is current, and backup(s) that will be off line.
Some cannot be trashed or deleted or removed without using an "uninstall app" or the installer, doing so without can mean having to reinstall first.
Or wipe the drive and restore from a known good backup set.
