Download speed veryyyy slow WRT54G cable connection

Hi there, i have a WRT54G router connected with cables. The wireless option is off in the settings in the menu of the router. I just downloaded a new firmware version 700.4 with was, if i should believe my friends , THE solution for my problems.. but its still very slow..
I have a cable modem from my internetprovider and have the most expensive connection a person at home could buy... if i connect my pc behind the cablemodem i can download with hundreds of kb/sec.. and a movie download is on my pc within a half an hour.. because i have more pcs i bought this router. so i can play online with more then 1 pc... if i download a movie when im connected trough the router.. ( cable modem----WRT54g-----pc/s ) then i can download with a smashing 5-25kb/sec, so the same movie takes about 4 days to be finished..
It must be something in the router...
And another thing when im downloading to much at the same time my router says bye bye.. and the only way to get it going again is pulling the plug ( power supply) and plug it back in. I dont understand this... i would thought that the router knows it limits and when its reached that....it keeps on going at THAT rate...even if the cablemodem or PC can transfer more per sec. ????!!!!.
Are there any settings i could try to make this thing work properly...
One more thing.. if the router crashes to often, ( by probebly to much downloads that are busy)... like mine did.... there comes a day it will not funktion anymore, like its dead...I had that 2 times allready, in the last 2 years. ( my internetcablemodem was still giving internet ) SO i went back to the store and got a new one on warranty but this happend 2 times allready....those guys will see me coming for the third time....in a few weeks/months..
PLZZ HELP ME!!
I dont know what to do anymore
Kind regards
Diederik

As you had already upgraded the firmware of router .......reset the router for 20-30 seconds ......while holding the reset button .....unplug the power cable..... wait for 10 seconds ....... plug back the power & release the reset ....
After reset reconfigure the router ......open routers set up page using http://192.168.1.1 .... leave username blank & in password use admin.....
look for "mac address clone" ......... enable it & click clone your pcs mac...... click save settings.....
Do power cycle & see whether you are online or not............

Download speed will slow to nothing. Must continually manually pause and resume to force the connection to the download to complete. How to fix?

Have recently tried to download multiple files from multiple locations. These files will show up as downloading in the download manager. After 5-10 seconds, the download will slow to a crawl. In the window for the download manager, it will state that the download still has a download speed. When reviewing the time and progress, as well as monitoring my actual inbound/outbound internet traffic, I can conclude the download does not have any actual download speed remaining (that is, 0 kilobytes/sec).
To complete the download, I must manually click on the file being downloaded, force it to pause and then force it to resume. This will cause the download to actually download again for about 5-10 seconds before the download manager states that the download speed is slowing down (when in fact it goes back to 0 kilobytes/sec). This process must be repeated until the file is fully downloaded.
Also observed is that there will suddenly be more of a connection, downloading just a bit of the file, before going back to 0 kbps. This will happen every so often and is much slower than manually pausing/resuming. If left to its own devices for long, it also has a chance that it will decide that the file is complete and report that it has the full file size of the download. Review of the actual downloaded file shows that the file is incomplete for the supposed size of the download.
This should not be an issue with internet usage. There is no inbound/outbound traffic for my connection when the download speeds hit 0kbps. Loading webpages during this time load fine, only the download is unstable.

Problem Solved!!! :) No need Of Any AntiVirus !
Got back into '''Firefox 5.0.1''' !!
Its Working Great!

Time capsule download speeds are slow

iMac <======>Time capsule (bridge mode) <=====> 10/100 ethernet switch <====> Comcast router/modem Arris TG862
Multiple iDevices are wirelessly connected to Time capsule because Arris TG862 couldn't handle more than 10 wireless devices without kicking them off.
Time capsule is in bridge mode, 4th gen, 7.6.4.
Have been running this configuration for over a year and download speeds @ 50Mbs for the iMac that is wired to the time capsule and an iMac that is wirelessly connected to time capsule. AppeTV is hardwired to 10/100 ethernet switch as well, and has never had a problem before download / streaming movies.
In the past week, the wired download speed of the iMac has crawled down to 5-6 Mbs. Wireless connections are .5-1 Mbs.
I have unplugged all devices, waited 10 mins, plugged in router/modem, waited 5 mins, plugged in switch, waited 1 min, plugged in TC, waited 5 mins, ran a test on Speedtest.net - still getting 5 Mbs wired and slower on wifi. If I unplug the ethernet cable from the TC (WAN) and plug it into the iMac directly, I get 57 Mbs download speed on Speedtest.net. Why would the TC suddenly be slowing down download speeds. In all configurations, the upload speed is still 10-11 Mbs. It appears that only download speeds are affected. Any suggestions?

Yes, I've tried moving the ethernet cable from the iMac to a different LAN port on the TC. Same slow speed. The wireless download speeds are slow too, seems like the WAN connection is "throttling" download speeds no matter if it's wired or wireless.
I have pressed the reset button on the back of the TC until the front light blinks amber. Then I went thru the setup to have it connected Ethernet, Bridge mode, create a wireless network, and DHCP from the router. I got 12 Mbs download speed for the wired connection after doing this the first time. Fifteen minutes later I tested it again using Speedtest.net and the download speed for the wired connection had fallen to 5 Mbs. I unplugged the TC, waited a half hour, held the reset button down while I plugged it in, went thru the setup again, and still had a download speed of only 4 Mbs when I was done.
I assumed if the switch on the TC went bad that it wouldn't work at all, not just be slow.
Any other suggestions?

Slow download speeds and/or dropped internet connectivity

Recently, my fios internet connection will be intermittently slow or simply drop altogether on all my devices. The verizon speed test also shows that my download speeds are less than 1mb/sec whereas upload speeds are up to 15 mb/s. My service plan is 25/25. I have been using the service with no issues for the past 4 months. This seems to have come up out of the blue in the past few days. Resetting the router has no effect. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? This is in Philadelphia. I tried to call support, but had to give up after being on hold for 55 minutes. Going to try again tomorrow.

Sorry I haven't been able to update with more info sooner. I am conncted with wifi. The location of my laptop with respect to the router has not changed at any time during the duration of these issues. Since monday when I originally posted, the following happened: On Tuesday the problem appeared to have been resolved as I was getting 29.5 down and 20 up at 7:00 EST. I tested again at 10:30 EST and was getting 17 down and 19 up so everything seemed good. Last night, however, the issue popped up again. I was not able to test until about 10:30 but at that time I was once again consistently getting less than 1 mb down and 5-10 up. Ironically, the download speeds were so poor I was not even able to log in to these forums to post without the webpage timing out. Tonight, I was having issues earlier (download speeds ~1-2 mb) but not I am once again getting ~30 down based on the verizon speedtest. I have not tried changing the channel of my wireless, could the interference from another wifi cause issues like this? IT is set to automatic right now though.

My internet download speeds very slow

Dear Sir or Madam:I changed my cable service plan on 3/6/2015. Internet download speeds should be 25Mbp/s. Unfortunately, Comcast never support this kind of download speeds rate to my service requested rate. I checked the download speeds rate ever day, without 3/6/2015—3/9/2015, the download speeds rate reached 5Mbp/s, otherwise, until now, there are no any one day , the download speeds rate up to 2mbp/s, sometime even download speeds is zero 0 bp/s ; most time download speeds only around 100Kbp/s. or under 100kbps.I bought new Gateway model Motorola SBG6580 that is working perfectly. I checked cable connection is good.I paid for 25mbps download speeds rate. Comcast given me only at 100kbps download speeds rate. This is too much overly fault service, I can’t accepted.I hope Comcast fix the problem immediately. Thank you.

I am getting 1.2MB currently.
Sometimes I get lot more.
I understand technically why you
think Apple resolution would put
more demands on bandwidth.
1080P for my TV.
As I said this worked for other
apple movie rentals in past.
I have been using same Dsl
service for many years.
I know you are going to say that
my bandwidth is too slow.
Which Dsl customer gets 6MB?
How much do they pay each month
to get that kind of bandwidth.
I pay $80/mo and get 5 IPs which
I need.

Mac App Store download speed very slow...

I have been trying to download the App Store updates OS X Update 10.10.3 and OS X Yosemite Recovery Update to my iMac for the past several days. When opening the Mac App Store, I click on updates and they appear. However, when I select 'download' my download speed slows to the point of less than 1 MB per minute.
I seem to remember this happening when Yosemite was first released, but after a few days, I had no problem downloading Yosemite from the App Store.
This only occurs when trying to download from the Mac App Store. When I download iOS App updates to iTunes I do not have the same problem so it seems to be only affecting the Mac App Store.
My internet speed is fine. I can download fine from other websites, just not the Mac App Store.
After searching online, I found one solution that looked promising:
Finder->Applications->Utilities->Keychain Access->Preferences->Certificates->Certificate Revocation List- Changed from Best attempt to OFF.
Unfortunately for me this had no effect so I changed the setting back.
I then looked for a way I could download the files from outside the Mac App Store & found this:
Apple - Support - Downloads
When downloading from Apple Support downloads page, my downloads were very fast. The Yosemite 2 GB Combo update took about 15 minutes, a far cry from the App Store which would have taken hours.
Is there some setting I need to change to increase the download speed from the Mac App Store or is it just overloaded servers? Why then can I download the files from the support page and not run into the same slow speeds? Updating iTunes was also giving me very slow download speeds, so again, I went to the Apple Support Downloads & clicked the link to download the latest version of iTunes. The file downloaded in about a minute.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Apple servers are overloaded. Instead of using App Store, use safari to download the updates manually from apple websites.
Here's a link for OS X 10.10.2 Combo Update.
OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 Combo Update
I had the same issue and downloaded manually from this link. It took me about 30-40 minutes. I'm using a 5mb connection. Your 40mb connection should be faster.
As for the iOS updates, you will have to download them from your iOS devices, because there are no standalone updates for iOS. Alternatively after you update your Mac, use iTunes to download iOS updates by connecting your iOS devices with your Mac. That should be faster than downloading through your iOS devices.

Download speeds extremly slow for CS6 trial version

I am trying to download the trial version of CS6 using the Adobe download assistant. It is extremely slow (Currently saying it will take another 15 hours to download.) It has been stuck at 987 MB for over two hours. I have a very fast fibre optic line and just did a speed test. I am seeing download speed of 75.79 Mbs so it is not my broadband. I am on Mac OS Lion 5.7. and have plenty of empty disk space. Any ideas of what the problem is?

so it is not my broadband.
Actually it probably is. Due to how ADM work sthere may be issues on such connections due to how they handle upstream communication and may dynamically switch IPs/ channels in their multiplexers.... Try a direct download using the method described here:

Download speeds very slow

I've seen many other threads on slow download speeds, however most of those were last summer/fall after people upgraded to Lion. I bought a new iMac with Lion preinstalled (last summer) and have not had issues with download speeds until that last month or two. I believe the issue started with the Feb 1, 2012 system upgrade to 10.7.3. The iMac started to intermittently drop the wifi network. At this point the download speeds were also significantly slower. There was a patch that more or less fixed the dropping issue, however the download speeds are still awful. It still occasionally drops the wifi network, but not as often as before.
I've tried a few things to troubleshoot.
1) I have a Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard and I'm able to download a 2GB file in about 25 minutes wirelessly. On the iMac it estimates over 2 hours but takes longer.
2) I checked the firmware on my Qwest Actiontec modem, and it's up to date.
3) when I plug my iMac directly into the modem with an ethernet cable it's able to download the 2GB file in about 25 minutes.
Thoughts on how to resolve this?
Thanks!

Wifi download speed very slow comparing to ethernet

Hello!
I have very strange problem with internet connection in my iMac.
I have a linksys router and 6Mbps broadband (slow or not, it's Poland ).
I try to download the same file via wifi or cable (connected to linksys).
Transfer on cable: 600-800kBps, transfer on wifi 50-100kBps.
Why is that?
It's very strange because ma macbook pro connected via wifi to linksys downloads the same file with transfer as well 600-800kBps.
On iMac there is Leopard 10.5.5. Linksys was restarted many times. iMac - 24" inch model 2.8GHz.
Does anybody know any solution?
Thanks in advance

hello anybody?
please

Why is the download speed so slow?

I have 100MB internet, and I am able to receive that speed with other applications. (I literally just tested with steam and got 9.1MB/s, at the same time as the Adobe download is running)
My Adobe download is 35 KB/sec or less, seriously guys? I don't intend to leave my PC downloading for 2 days just to get software!
I have tried both with the download manager (The download errored at 78% after I had left it running for about 6 hours) and now the browser (I've managed to get 1.6GB of the 5.8GB in 6 hours, currently running at 36.8KB/sec)
In the same time period I have downloaded the entire of GTA IV (15.6GB) and managed to play it for 5 hours!
Any idea what is causing it to be this slow or is the download service really this bad?

I'm using gigabit wired internet, with an appropriate network card and router, my firewall is completely disabled (both on my router and my pc) and I don't see why anti-virus should interfere with the download,
What is the general download speed normally received? Would you recommend using the browser download or the download manager?
I'm happy if this is just a "slow day" for adobe server or something, but my internet seems to be 100% fine as several other downloads I have tried have managed to get full speed even while the Adobe download is left running. (I obviously have had these other downloads off the majority of the time the adobe download has been running)
Cheers for the response,
Rob

UK Download Speeds Incredibly Slow

Hi, I am just about ready to give up...my download speeds through the iTunes store are appauling - upto about 700kBps. I am on a 100Mb connection and this works fine everywhere else. For info, the speed through itunes store is horrendous on all my systems.
I see loads of people reporting speed issues but no answers from apple from all around the world - I am in the United Kingdom.
What is going on? I have paid a lot of money for all this kit and I would hope to get a decent service from it.
Thanks.

Anyone please?

My Macbook pro 2014 downloading speed is slow

Hello guys, I need help! I am new to Macbook, I was checking the internet speed on speedtest.net and my download speed was 11mbps. when I tried to download a movie it's actually 33-100kbps. I don't know if the movie website is slow or my macbook is slow. Any suggestions?
My macbook is 13' with retina display 2014

Sounds as if the servers on the movie site are simply overloaded. It happens.

Apple TV 2 Download Speeds Very Slow

I am using an Airport Extreme with ATV2. My ethernet connected download speeds are very fast yet my apple tv (and my other IOS devices - ipads) struggles to download movies from itunes. Most recently it showed over 2 hours to download a rented movie from itunes.
All equipment is updated with the latest software.
Any ideas about how I can see what the download speed is on my Apple TV?
Any thoughts on how I might be able to fix the problem wiht my apple TV

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

TS1398 Why Wireless Download Speeds so Slow?

My iPad 3, MacBookPro and Apple TV have been suffering with poor connection speeds lately. Connect the MacBook to the Internet using Ethernet and it works fine. Here's the funny thing, when I run speedtest from either device, my download speed is horrible, but the upload speed is normal for my ISP.
I'm suppose to get 10 down and 1 up. This data below is from the speedtest app on the iPad. As you can see, I don't run this app too often. What it does show the horrible numbers.
I've ruled out my ISP. I don't have another wireless router to check against, but before I go out and spend another hundred, I thought I would check if anyone else is experiencing this type of issue. NetGear, my router manufacture claims since the release of iOS 6, user have been experiencing connection issues.
If anyone at least can offer maybe additional tests, router settings, etc., I would greatly appreciate it.

You use 3g wifi with your computer? I don't think so. I'm not saying it isn't possible; I just doubt it's the case since that basically means you have your computer tethered to a cell phone. If that is the case, let me know.
If you're getting the same speed whether you're using wifi or ethernet, it's because your download speeds are bottlenecked at/throttled by your ISP, not your in-home hardware.

App Store Download Speed became Slower

I am not sure what is wrong with the App Store now. It is taking longer than usual to download apps/games. It used to take 30-45 secs to download an app. However, it is now taking 15-20 mins, which is quite irritating when you needing the app almost immediately.
Since I'm living in Asia, during the day as other parts of the world are sleeping, the download speed became fast or moderate. When it is night time here and it's day time in some parts of the world, the speed became slower or moderate.
I wonder if any of you are having the same problem and the situation occured to you.

I don't see the problem. 2 hours only to wait?

Download speed veryyyy slow WRT54G cable connection
