DSL Connection Very slow ONLY when using wireless router

My DSL connection was running super slow (approx 136 Kbs) - I disconnected the Linksys wireless router and plugged by DSL modem directly into the computer.  Then my internet speed increased to 1.4 Mbs (a 10 fold increase).
Any suggestions on how / why my speed drops so extensively when using the Linksys wireless routher (wrt45g).
Thanks

Are you using the same test each time to measure the speed?
The reason I ask is that Windows usually reports its download speed in KB/sec (Kilobytes per second).  But most web (internet) speed tests report their speed in Mbps (Megabits per second.)
A 1.4 Mbps line will typically pass data at about 140KB/sec.
To help determine what kind of problem you are having, do the same speed test in 3 different ways:
1)  Connect one computer, by wire, directly to your modem
2)  Connect one computer, by wire, directly to your router  (all other computers and network devices should be off).
3)  Connect one computer, wirelessly, to your router  (all other computers and network devices should be off).
Report back your results, and also, please state what line speed you are paying for.  Once we have this, we will hopefully be able to help you.

  • Exchange 2013 CU5 , Exchange Power Shell very very very slow reasponse when using get command.

    Exchange 2013 CU5 , Exchange Power Shell very very very slow reasponse when using get command.
    First my organize has Exchange on 2 site like
    site A (internet facing) : 2CAS 2 MB all are Services pack1
    site B (DR Site , no user active on this site) : 2CAS 2MB all are Services pack 1
    so today I upgrade Exchange 2013 from SP1 to CU5 start on "site B" and I found this issue and the details is....
    When I open EMS on any CU5 for query something (like get-mailboxdatabasecopystatus) the response return very slow and some query will not return at all (like get-owavirtualdirectory).
    But If I using EMS on SP1. Everything is ok then I try to use EMS on SP1 connect to CU5 and try to query something. the result is
    some query command cannot return for any result that are server on siteB (just some query command)
    Problem
    EMS on CU5 return very slow result.
    EMS on SP1 still ok.
    Does anyone face this problem before for CU5??? Please help me figure this out. Thank you
    reply from Social.technet

    Hi,
    Have you used the above cmdlets to check your Exchange server health?
    "all other command that I ran on EMS didn't logged on event viewer.", my environment is the same with you. I use Exchange 2013, only errors will be displayed in MSExchange Management. Actually, it is not related to slow EMS response.
    Hope it helps.

  • Extreme slow down when using wireless connection

    I did not have a wireless network prior to purchasing the airport express and needed this as I purchased a macbook. My intention was only to use this device as a wireless network. I have my cable modem connected to a linksys router which is connected to the airport express. The internet connection on my macbook is extremely SLOW! I have reset and reinstalled my airport several times, called apple support and trouble shoot for over an hour, however still experiencing the same problems...slow internet connection. In my troubleshooting I have determined that cable modem and connection, router and airport are all working properly. So the only other thing is interference issue. I've tried changing the channels, use interference robustness option however still no results. I just want my laptop internet connection to work fast. This is my last hope otherwise I'm going out tomorrow to buy a wireless Linsys N router. Any suggestions????

    Well it turned out to be a DNS configuration problem on the MacBook. If you go to Networks-Advanced in the System Preferences for the Airport connection, then select the DNS TAB. In there I had a spurious DNS entry. I deleted the one that was manually entered in (it's in black text) that way the one I received from the Airport Express was the only one in there (it is greyed out and you can't delete it.)
    Hope that helps.

  • Finder is very slow, particularly when using network drive

    I have a mid-2011 Macbook Air, OSX 10.9.4, and Finder is extremely slow, particularly when I am navigating my Time Capsule.  First, a little history.
    I have tried the fixes listed in these three threads:
    (1) https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3358265?searchText=finder%20slow
    (2) https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1324280?searchText=Finder%20is%20slow
    (3) https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5495797?start=30&tstart=0
    Second, my Time Capsule is new.  I bought it to replace a WD MyBook that used to work really well, and then something changed.  Unfortunately, I assumed that it was some problem on WD's side, so after a year or two of waiting to see if either WD or Apple issued an update to fix it, I assumed it was some kind of file system incompatibility (or other interoperability problem) that wasn't likely to go away, and just sprung for the Time Capsule.  However, after getting all the files on the Time Capsule, the problem remains.  So here's a rundown of what I experience:
    When I navigate the directories on my Time Capsule, if I haven't been in a particular folder, it takes a very long time to load the contents.  On average, it will be 30 seconds, but it is not uncommon for it to be over a minute.  This can happen even if a folder is empty or has just a few files in it.  In addition, adding a subfolder and trying to rename it takes a very long time.  After renaming a new folder, it can then take another full minute or more for the folder to actually show the newly assigned name and bounce into line in alphabetical order.
    Here are some other observations.  First, my connection is very fast, as I'm directly connected to the Time Capsule (albeit via wireless).  Second, there is clearly something extra going on in Finder that is contributing to this issue, because I navigated to different directories using Terminal and did an "ls" command, and as you would expect, the list fired out virtually instantaneously.  Yet, right after that, if I clicked on that same folder with Finder, it would take a minute or more to display the same file names.
    Could it be that the Finder is doing other things at the same time as it is giving me a list of what is in the directory?  For example, could the Finder be loading ALL metadata for each of the files into some database or index being built on the fly every time I pop into a new folder, even if I'm not using a view mode where I am asking to see those other bits of metadata?  If so, that might make sense as I generally am using the network drive to navigate directories of my photographs, and they have a lot more categories of metadata associated with them than do Word docs and PDFs (e.g., date of picture, time of picture, aperture, shutter speed, exposure, etc.).  Or, perhaps is Finder trying to load previews of ALL of the files whenever a directory request is made, so that bouncing through the previews takes less time?  I sort of doubt that, because even after a directory listing finally comes up, it seems to churn a bit on each photo before the preview comes up, which I take as an indication that it's creating each preview only after a request is made for that particular file.  Either way, I will say that in old WinXP and even in the newer Windows 7, if you want to view files in a Detailed setting where you can see other metadata (called "Attributes"), it definitely prioritizes giving you a directory listing, and then continues filling in the various selected Attributes one-by-one after that.  Thus, if you want to sort by the date a photograph was taken (as opposed to its modified or created date, which seem to be default attributes that load as quickly (or nearly as quickly) as the filename), or by the photo's dimensions, it might take a few minutes to load in those attributes for a folder of a couple thousand pictures.  But, critically, if you are not planning on using those attributes, but rather, merely want to see how many files you have in that folder, or select them all and load them into a photo viewer, you won't have to wait for the file system to load the file attributes before you get a listing of the folder's contents.  It seems to me like the Finder, however, might actually be forcing you to wait until it has loaded all of those attributes.
    Does the foregoing sound like a plausible explanation of the problem to those out there with knowledge of how Finder actually works?  And if so, does that bring to mind any potential settings that could be turned off or any other work-arounds (since those I've tried have not fixed the issue)?
    If anyone has other ideas, I am all ears.  I am pretty annoyed that I sunk time into switching over to a Time Capsule on the assumption that Apple couldn't have had a bug this bad, only to find out that I was wrong.  The biggest irony is that my old WinXP computer used to rip through the folder structures with ease on the MyBook, but my fully updated Air is practically crippled by the same task.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Very slow wirelesss when using iPhone 4S' personal hotspot for a MacBook Pro (MBP)...

    Hello.
    Last night, I was helping a client with his old iPhone 4S' personal hotspot as shown in http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4517 web page. It uses Verizon Wireless 3G for his 4 GB data cellular connection. We got the wireless (WPA2) connection to work fine, but it was very slow like crappy dial-up modem speeds. Is this normal? iPhone's iOS v8.1.2's top screen says 1X (is this a speed number?) and left of MBP. Updated Mac OS X 10.8.5's top screen shows an infinite(?) symbol instead of that wifi arc symbol.
    Thank you in advance.

    yes, 1x is a speed indicator, and it is very slow. Even with 3g speeds, hotspot will be pretty slow, but still ok for simple surfing and emails and such, streaming not so much. For hotspot, you really kinda want to have at least 4g, preferably LTE.
    About that 1x speed, you may want to see if you get that everywhere or just in that location. Ideally, in a good coverage area, you should not be getting such slow speeds. Might have something to do with the building you are in though. If you get the same outdoors, and your coverage area is good, you may want to call in and have someone troubleshoot your signal.

  • Mail won't connect to SMTP server when using wireless instead of ethernet

    I receive the following error message ONLY when I am online via a wireless connection, but not when I am online via an ethernet cord:
    *This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered. The connection to the server "smtp.XXXXX.com" on port 2525 timed out.*
    (note that XXXX is just the name of my mail server that I've removed for security reasons)
    I am able to receive email fine regardless of whether I'm using a wireless or ethernet connection.
    Any thoughts? I've occasionally run into this issue before (at coffee shops and such) and think it may have something to do with the type of wireless connection (too weak, low security, other?) I'm particularly stumped about this one though since it's simply the wireless network at my college which has worked fine in the past (though perhaps they did change something?)
    Thanks!

    That's because the internet provider whom you are connecting to via wireless is blocking that port/server address as a security measure.
    Unless you have an account with whom the host is, you wont be able to send emails...
    you could try setting the outgoing port to one of the following you could have some luck, no guarantee's though...
    21, 25, 5521, 5525, 7721, 7725
    hope that works

  • Very slow graphics when using AMD Radeon HD 6490M with Yosemite

    I'm using a 15" MacBook Pro early 2011. When I switch to the GPU using gfxCardStatus (or because an app requires it), all graphics become very slow: window dragging, window miniaturize animation, moving the mouse in the menubar etc. 3D view in Maps.app is very slow. All is fine when using the integrated Intel HD 3000. I did not have this problem with Yosemite Developer Previews (I did not install the GMs), nor with Mavericks.
    I tried using AMD kext from the DP, but things are worst (I suppose the kext are not loaded at all because the signature does not match).

    Hi. I tried to do that with the same download package on my Pavilion DV6 CTO Quad edition and it fails to install the driver because of a conflict with the C++ Redistributable 2010 package build into the installer. Does anyone know if HP is going to update the switchable graphic drivers for Windows 8? They better!

  • Very slow queries when using oracle spatial

    Hi,
    I am new to oracle, please help with me the problem that I am facing.
    I am storing spatial regions inside the data base. The data is in very simple in form. That is each region is a small rectangle. The boundaries of rectangle touch each other but they do not overlap. Basically I am filling the 2D space with rectangles.
    I use the SDO_FILTER query to find regions inside the data base that intersect with a line. The data base contains a single table. With one column of type SDO_GEOMETRY. And the table has around 25000 tuples.
    The problem is that when the result of the query is large (70% of the tuples) that means there are many regions in the cache that intersect the line, the amount of time it takes is a lot more(6 times) than if I do the same without using the R Tree.
    I can do it without using the R Tree because all my objects are rectangles. I store the the left bottom and the top right corner of the rectangle in the data base. And then use a simple range query.
    Is this behaviour expected? should I use an R Tree index structure, or something else. I know that when the result is very large the R Tree search will have to search many sub trees to retrieve the data points. But should the performance be worse than a sequential scan?
    Or will indexes only work for cases where the selectivity of the query is high?
    Please reply I need help,
    Thank you,

    Hi,
    I am using the version of spatial that we get with Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2.0.1) or it could be
    Oracle 9i release 2 (9.2.0.2).
    I don't know how to check that.
    Here I provide the create script, create index statement and a few sample data items that I insert into the data base.
    Create Script:
    create table out5d(
    ID                          NUMBER(9),
    PID NUMBER(9),
    X                          NUMBER,
    Y NUMBER,
    L NUMBER,
    PL NUMBER,
    shape                          MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY,
    HEIGHT                         NUMBER,
    N                          NUMBER(9),
    d0 NUMBER,
    d1 NUMBER,
    d2 NUMBER,
    d3 NUMBER,
    d4                         NUMBER,
    D0_MAX NUMBER,
    D1_MAX NUMBER,
    D2_MAX NUMBER,
    D3_MAX NUMBER,
    D4_MAX NUMBER,
    D0_MIN NUMBER,
    D1_MIN NUMBER,
    D2_MIN NUMBER,
    D3_MIN NUMBER,
    D4_MIN NUMBER);
    alter table out5d
    add constraint keyConstraint
    primary key (ID);
    Create Index:
    INSERT INTO USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA VALUES ('out5d' , 'shape' , MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ARRAY( MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('X', 0, 1, 0.0000001), MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('Y', 0, 1, 0.0000001) ), NULL);
    CREATE INDEX out5d_rtree ON out5d(shape) INDEXTYPE IS MDSYS.SPATIAL_INDEX;
    I changed the fan out to 50. Because I read in the spatial user guide that in case you are expecting a big output result you should increase the fan out to 50 or 60.
    Also here is a sample data items that I inserted into the tables.

  • Keynote presentations when using wireless libratone zipp speaker there is a 2sec delay before any slide containing video/audio plays - tried connection through apple TV still the same. Any ideas?

    Keynote presentations when using wireless libratone zipp speaker there is a 2sec delay before any slide containing video/audio plays - tried connection through apple TV still the same. Any ideas?

    Thanks Gary, I think I should have mentioned that I have wired my other speakers and it works fine. 
    I just wanted to go wireless when presenting in front of class, simply to avoid trailing wires from the macbook which I position in front of me on a desk next to the projector and the speakers are behind me next to the screen.
    I have struggled to find a solution, and reading through other discussions it is a problem that perhaps only Apple can solve.
    I hope the new 'Yosemite' will resolve the problem.
    Thank you once again for your reply.

       Also Premiere Pro CS5 playback is almost like watching footage in slow motion, Premiere Pro is installed on the main drive but the footage is on an external drive connected with USB 2.
      I'm wondering if it is just a problem with the Mac USB drivers maybe not supporting USB 2 ? (Because I have also installed Window 7 on this same MacBookPro and tested the same software "Zbrush and Premiere Pro" And they both work perfectly on the Bootcamp Windows 7 install, and so its using the same hardware so it has to be the drivers right ?)
    Any help would be great, Thanks

    After an update or installation, your MBP may take some time to index its files. Give it some time - but if you don't see any improvement, post here - you'll get an answer!

  • I have an Airport Express connected via optical toslink to a dac/amp in turn connected to speakers. When using iTunes I get message "no speakers connected to Airport Express" and audio sound has drop outs.

    I have an Airport Express connected via optical toslink to a dac/amp in turn connected to speakers. When using iTunes I get message "no speakers connected to Airport Express" and audio sound has drop outs.

    Ok, if you are connecting the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) to the existing wireless network, then the DSL in the next room is most likely a combination DSL modem and wireless router. Thanks for clarifying that for me.
    Although they may only be separated by a single wall, the building material used in that wall may be enough to prevent the AX from receving a "good" signal from the DSL router.
    Since I don't know what computing equipment you have available, please check out this AirPort User Tip: AirPort - Optimal Base Station Placement to see if you can get some SNR measurements at the location of your AX. To do this properly, you will want to power-off the AX and only get these measurements for the DSL router.

  • Very slow responce when working with Office file on DFS-Share

    Very slow responce when working with Office file on DFS-Share
    We have implemented the following configuration
    Domain level Windows 2000. Two member servers with Windows Server 2008 R2, sharing the same DFS namespace with, at the moment, one folder target called Home.
    Users complaining that the access to different MS Office files is very slow. Even creating a new MS Word document using right click context menu takes up to 4 minutes to open. Saving, for example, one singe Excel sheet takes also few minutes.
    Tested with both, MS Office 2007 and MS Office 2010. Makes no difference. When using Office 2010 you can see the message like contacting:
    \\DomainName\Root\Home\UserName. Other files like TXT, JPG or PDF are not affected.
     What makes the thing really weird is the fact, that the behavior described above can absolutely change after client machine being rebooted, suddenly everything becomes very fast and this condition can revert back again just after the next
    reboot.
    Considerations until now:
    1. This has nothing to do with the file size. Even tiny files are affected.
    2. AD Sites are configured correctly and the client workstations see themselves in the correct sites.
    3. This is not an Office issue. If I map my folder target not as DFS, but directly as shared network drive
    \\ServerName\Root\Home\UserName , everything functions as expected
    What makes me suspicious: when using f.e. TCPView to monitor connections, I can see, that each time I make any operation on an office file, there will be a connection established to one of the domain controllers, sometimes to remote ones,
    located in other countries. But on the other side, even if the connection is established to the nearest DC, operations are still very very slow!
    Just forget to say. All clients are Windows 7
    Thanks to all who respond.

    Dear all,
    sorry for the delayed reply. The problem has been solved now and since September 19<sup>th</sup>. everything is functioning as expected.
    What was done:
    Deleted replication targets excepting the initial ones
    Carefully recreated folder targets
    Deleted and recreated  replication groups
    Disabled SNP features on both namespace servers
    Created EnableTCPA registry entry
    Checked that the following Updates are installed

  • My DSL provider says they only allow one wireless network--

    My DSL provider says they only allow one wireless network. Can I do the following?
    My existing wireless network consists of a single DSL/ActionTec modem connected to an Airport Extreme (configured using two additional Airport Expresses for wireless printing and air-tunes). I have great wireless coverage all through my house. My office is in a detached building about 200 feet from my house. I want to tap into my existing wireless system by running a Cat5 cable to my office and set up another Airport Express (and two more airport expresses for printing and air-tunes for my office). Would this technically be considered two separate wireless networks if I run the Cat5 cable between the two Airport Extremes (since there would only be one connection to the ActionTec DSL modem)? Would my DSL provider know I have established a secondary wireless network? Would my DSL provider have any ability to prevent these two separate networks from working properly on one DSL line?

    It really doesn't make much difference. If you run it from your DSL modem, you will in effect have two separate networks, but they should still be able to talk to each other. If you run it from your Airport from the LAN prt, that will work too but the DHCP you will set up in your office will have to be different from your first Airport. For example: If your first Airport is set up to hand out IP addresses on the 10.0.1.X network, your office irrport will have as it's WAN IP 10.0.1.Y and the wirless IP Range will have to be something like 192.168.1.x. But again, it shouldn't make much of a difference either way. itunes etc, will still work.

  • Nokia N81 reboots when using wireless LAN

    HAs anybody else come across this problem, I have a N81-3 with 8Gb sim card, basically when using wireless lan it reboots, I see there is a firmware upgrade that improves wifi stability but when using the software upgrader it says there are no updates available for my phone, any ideas.??

    The CR-200 only charges at 750mA and I am not even sure that is 100% transferred through the Qi charging. Charging at less than 1A will likely not be enough to keep up with the drain from using the phone while navigating. I think it will use much more than that.
    I use a Anker 13.000 mA battery with my phone while rinding my bike and have had several instances where I accidentally used the 1A output (it has both a 1 and 2 A output) to find that would actually not keep up with the phone running navigation and cycle tracking apps running (in addition to cellular and some other tasks).
    Navigation _will_ require some serious amount sof power and _will_ in general make the phone feel warm to the touch. I very much doubt a wireless charger will be able to provide the juice needed to keep up the charge.
