Erratic Wifi Packet Rate

Hello,
I have a iPhone 5 that constantly switches back and for between 1.0Mb/s and 54.0Mb/s.
Is this any indication that the wifi is faulty on this phone? There are two other devices on the same ap
that are totally fine and maintain a constant rate.

Wifi packet loss after upgrading to 10.7.4

After upgrading all three macs (mb pro, mb air, imac) in the house to 10.7.4 they all experience wifi packet loss. I ping to the local router. I have connected to a multitude of wireless routers with similar result.
But here is strong evidence that is a the OS X software problem. I am running linux inside of vmware fusion. I have run the exact same ping commands simultaneously in (1) mac and (2) vmware linux. The linux ping experiences zero packet loss, not even a single packet. The mac at its best will lose 1% packets, but can increase beyond that.
We are suffering from slow internet in our corrent location as it is, and this has a noticable impact on our performance. I am a bit afraid to upgrade to Mountain Lion for fear it may be even worse.
Any thoughts?

Your
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
file is likely corrupt in your
(use the Finder > Go > Go To folder and paste & Go)
~/Library/Preferences
folder, Trash the flle you can (may be two of them, one is a lock file) and reboot.
Reset your system preferences again.

Monitoring packet rate & softirq

Hi,
on a server running Debian Squeeze and keepalived I ran into some issues.
If I produce many requests against the server the amount of softirqs increases very fast until 1 CPU is at 100%.
I want to investigate this problem but I don't know of a tool to monitor the paket rate and the IPs causing it.
Also I need for this investigation a way to examine the softirqs, what's causing them, what are they waiting for and so on.
Does anyone of you know of such tools?
Kind regards,
Andrwe

marvn wrote:you can use iftop as a network monitor
Unfortunately iftop isn't able to monitor the packet rate but only the bandwidth.
There is quite a difference between both.
A network card can be able to process terabit/s but that doesn't mean it can process terapackets/s.
And if your system can't handle the packet rate it gets cpu load because of softirqs very fast.
While too much bandwidth is just cut at the maximum which can be handled and that can cause slowly increasing cpu load.

IMac erratic wifi

How do I rectify an erratic wifi connection on my imac (27") mountain 10.8.2 ??

Hi Cliff what is erratic about it exactly?

ASR9K interface packet rate

The packet rate mib 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.2.1.1.7 for 7600 seem not support by ASR9K, anyone can share the packet rate /s mib for ASR9K

This is generally computed offline by the mgmt station based on the packet counters (from the IFMIB) and computed over time.
A great package that does this is MRTG you may like to mess around with.
alternatively you could possibly pull the XR interface rate out via XML.

Packet rate extremely high and crash my network

ALL
some of my tenant may have virus, or something, and let the packet rate to very high, and the traffic to internet, and crash the firewall also.
what i can do for those trunk or switchport in order to lower the risk.
i had try to stormcontrol broadcast to 2%, but seem not to the problem.

I dont know if this is 100% relevant to your scenario but the link below
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1835/products_tech_note09186a0080110d17.shtml
describes a mechanism to protect networks against the nimda virus.
It uses QoS and CAR to achieve this.
A more long term solution in your case would be to isolate each of the "tenants" on their individual private vlans in isolated mode and have the router in promiscuous mode which would limit the broadcasts between the hosts themseleves and create a one way channel between each host and the router. This is of course for those clients that do cause havoc on the network. The rest of them could remain in the same vlans :)
Here is a link that might help

MBP C2D Wifi Packet Drop Solution

Hi,
I just figured out my Wifi problem. Hopefully this is useful to someone else.
The problem:
My Powerbook G4 has worked just fine with my D-Link DI-614+ router for the past year+, but when I got my MBP C2D the wifi connection seemed very slow and unreliable.
Opening terminal and doing a 'ping <router address>' revealed that about 30-40% of the packets were being dropped between the router and the MBP.
I set up my Powerbook G4 as a base station and connected to it and pinged in both directions with minimal packet loss 2-5% which in a noisy apartment building I consider fine.
So, what's the difference? Looking at the advanced tab -> performance settings I noticed that the 'Basic Rates' on the base station was set to 1-2-5.5-11 Mbps but the 'Tx Rates' was set to 1-2-5.5-11-22. As soon as I changed the 'Tx Rates' to 1-2-5.5-11 I stopped dropping packets. For good measure I turned off '4X Mode'.
So the 'enhanced' features of the DI-614+ were causing me problems. As soon as I turned them off and dropped to 802.11b rates it started working just fine.
Hope this helps.

Many thanks, I too had the same problem with the D-614 and my new Macbook Pro - your suggestion fixed my problem.

WIFI Packet Loss/Jitter MacBook Air 11 & LION OSX 10.7.1

I started using computers more than 30 years ago when I was 5, I had my first IBM PC at the age of 10 and have never had any interest in paying over the odds for an Apple mac mainly because I saw the Mac as a kind of "Can't open nothing", one mouse buttoned retard of the computer world.
That is, until now.
I set up an online business 3 years ago and rented a dedicated server and set the whole business up in a cloud, so to speak. Having done that, all I needed a laptop for was a remote desktop connection and to run a SIP phone (Internet phone).
My PC based laptops had almost nothing installed on them, and I wasn't using software on the laptop itself, I was using remote desktop, so - why not try a MAC? The new Macbook Air 11 is small, light and made of metal and glass so should be robust enough to travel with me.
I have to say, this was the worst move I've ever made.
I opened the new shiny macbook and the first thing I noticed was that the internet seemed hit and miss. Moving around the room I managed to find a spot whereby pages woud load quickly. Strange, my £200 acer laptop was sh.t fast everywhere in the house. No matter, I packed it back away and carried on working on the Windows machine.
I've come to Newquay this week, and i've started to try and use the Macbook again in a hotel. The wireless signal in the room is low, and speedtest shows about 1 meg down and 3/4 meg up. That may sound bad to you, but remote desktop uses about 5k/sec (modem dial up speed) and the softphone, well, my Asterisk VOIP setup is confugured to use the GSM codec so that's 8k/sec each way + overheads.
This whole setup was deliberately designed to be "thin" so I can travel with ease and work on bad connections like USB internet sticks.
Anyhow, the Macbook was unable to hold a stable connection to the remote desktop or SIP phone, even though the speed test showed a whopping 1 meg up and down. What you may not be aware of is that there is more to a connection than the speed, there is the quality as well. How many packets are lost / how much "jitter" is on the line.
Anyhow, we're not living in the 3rd world, I ran a PINGTEST and it showed a small amount of jitter but told me the line was class B, online games may suffer but voip should be fine.
I unpacked the Acer, placed it in exactly the same spot as the Apple had sat in and it worked beautifully with 1 bar of wireless signal, all day long. Phone calls were clear.
So you know now what I'm thinking. I'm sitting here with my £200 acer because I can't use the £1500 macbook air 11. I paid nearly sixteen hundred pounds for this piece of .... and it doesn't ...... work. Time to contact Apple support.
2nd Mistake!
Representitive 1: - Told me that I can't compare the Macbook Air to the Acer, the Acer has Google Chrome and everybody knows Google Chrome is the fastest browser. I was told there was nothing more he could do, its probably a bad line at the hotel. When I explained the Acer works fine for voip I was told well, maybe it is getting a better signal. I explained the Acer has the cheapest possible parts inside it and paid 1500 for this macbook, expecting it to have quality parts inside and was told I'd paid for the size, because its so small but its not considered "powerful". Apple do you train your staff? Clearly not.
Thank god I wasn't paying to talk to this moron.
Representitive 2: - Had no idea what packet loss or Jitter was, got me to do a speedtest and said that looks fine. Then he got me to remove the WIFI adapter and re add it in the network settings.
Guess what, nothing changed, its still the same hardware and software.
Representitive 3: - Still not really understanding "quality" issues with the networking interface, I was asked to install the latest Java client. I did it, only because I wanted to comply with Apples wishes so they'd help me, but they weren't helping and Java has nothing to do with the network adapter, so that was useless advice too.
Apple seem to have no idea there is a problem, even though Google has pages and pages of people saying the same as me, and their own discussion forums have thousands of people complaining https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2664670?start=0&tstart=0
Finally, late yesterday whilst speaking to d.ck head number 3 at Apple support, we found a forum post talking about a fix, 10.7.1 update. I told d. head number 3 about the update and he suggested I applied it. So I did and everything looked great, for a whole evening.
This morning, I switched on again and the same thing, slow remote desktop, choppy unusable phone. Remember the phone needs less than 20k for a conversation, thats 0.2 meg. Speedtest again showing a whole meg both ways.
I called apple support again, this time being a little forceful, and I've asked for this to be escalated, but the bottom line is - they have no fix, they don't aknowledge this as a problem and I was told LION is new, so maybe it's got a bug..
I told the guy on the phone this is a network driver issue, the intermittency of the problem shows that and the Apple's lack of settings for the network adapter means the unit is autonegotiating with the router and choosing speed and duplex settings on its own. Sometimes it does that correctly, other times not and the connection although fast has a lot of noise / packet loss / corruption.
I've found a workaround, you put the unit to sleep and wake it up again and it runs fast until the next shutdown. Not really acceptable seeing as I was paying for "the cream of the crop".
I will definately not be recommending Apple products, and i'll certainly not be replacing the Windows laptops in my business with Apple's toytown system- i'd go out of business if I had to rely on this.
All there is left now, is to look at Boot camp and see if I can wipe this waste of space linux hack from the unit and install Windows 7.

Ipad2 wifi data rate

My ipad2 is connected to my wireless network by 5 generation airport extreme. A check of the airport data shows I have an excellent wifi connection with the iPad2, and only 52 mbs data rate, while my laptop shows 270 mbs data rate. Is iPad2 data for wifi limited or is there another problem?

You can have a Ferrari but if the roads (server) are narrow or congested, you cannot speed.
Speed are dependent on:
1. ISP e.g. Cable or ADSL
2. Router e.g. b,g, or n
3. Environment e.g. walls, distance, water (aquarium) etc
4. iPad e.g CPU, RAM
5. Server

Wifi transfer rate issues

I've had my macbook pro for alitle while now and at one point i was transfering files to and from the internet using programs like skype with a transfer rate of upwards of 3000 kb/s. but for last few months i havn't seen numbers above 300 kb/s. What happened? is there a way to boost my speeds? ive connected to several different networks that i KNOW are MUCH faster than 300 and it still wont work right. ive looked everywhere i can think to throughout my settings and i can not find a way to improve the performance. can anyone help? get the speeds back to what i feel they should be? im very disapointed in the performance right now.

There are a lot of factors involved with WiFi speed. Noise, traffic on the WiFi network, Traffic on the internet, ISP limiting your speed, site you are uploading to and many more.
Have you thought about connecting the MBP to your router by Ethernet cable and then try these uplaods?

Erratic Wifi Behavior

I'm not sure if this is something specific to my setup or something that persists in general; but my wifi behaves very oddly.
Here is the situation in it's entirety:
The iPod touches listed below and for the conditions listed below successfully connect to a network, successfully receive the correct IP addresses, default gateway addresses, DNS server addresses, and subnet masks pertaining to each network, but will not access the internet. Safari provides the error: "Safari can't open the page because it can't find the server."
I have an 8gb iPod touch.
My friend has a 16 gb iPod touch.
So far I have used my iPod touch at my home (Netgear Router) and at a friend's home (Linksys Router) And both places have the same issue.
My friend has used his iPod touch only at his home and has the same issue my iPod touch has.
Both wireless networks are secured by a 10 digit hexadecimal WEP key.
Both do not filter any MAC addresses.
DHCP is working and currently assigns every other computer on both networks (including the iPod touch) a valid IP address.
The internet works for all other devices connected to the network.
So far, the internet will work at random times after either resetting the iPod touch, renewing the DHCP lease, assigning the iPod touch a static IP address, and turning the wifi connection on and off; but we have yet to find a method that works every single time... These methods only work about 1/5 of the time and the rest of the time we just wait for the internet to begin working again.
Help please! Thanks!

Well; I found a fix... Dunno if you can really call it that since the Wifi still acts erraticly.. But what I do is when the internet stops working, I just goto my network settings and change it either to static or dhcp (Depending on which one it was on)
For instance; If I have my iPod touch on static, and the internet stops working, I goto my settings and change it to dynamic and the internet starts to work again. A few hours later, when the internet stops working, I just go back to the wifi settings and change it to static, give it a valid IP address, and the internet starts working again... No restores, no restarts, no turning wifi on or off necessary.. Can anyone else confirm if this works for them too if they have a similar problem?

Wifi packet injection?

I was wondering if the new late 2011 MBA had packet injection ability on it's wifi device.
Does anyone know if the wifi driver with Lion allows this?
I was thinking of buying a MBA 11 inch for on the go surfing and work related solutions.

Perhaps the Nexus has a better antenna or the way you held it could have maintained a better line of sight to the wifi accesspoint? Wifi is 'polarized' so you can sometimes get better (or worse) reception by rotating the antenna through 90º.
It's also possible that the router was too busy when you tried the Mac & iPhone but then was less busy when you tried the Nexus.
Interference could be another reason (portable phones, microwaves, other radio transmitting devices can potentially interfere).
Being too close to an accesspoint (or another transmitting client) can also cause trouble.
Wifi networks can also be configured to 'channel hop' to try to get better signal to noise ratio, this means you may have used different channels on the different devices and may not be comparing like to like. It could also have been another neighboring accesspoint that decided to move away from that channel that helped the Nexus speed up.
It's tough to say, the only real way to test accurately is to have control of the accesspoint so you can control how many clients are connected.
For what it's worth there are a few wifi graphing apps on Android that can indicate how many other networks are around you… (there are also free ones IIRC).

I'd disable wifi on the other devices and try one device at a time & move around to see if one part of the room has better reception.

Very slow and erratic wifi connection

My wifi connection is very erratic. Often when I am working online, my internet connection will suddenly be lost. When I look at my Task Manager, the Performance graph shows no activity and lists my connection speed at 0 Kbps. I often have to disconnect and reconnect, which sometimes brings it back, but not often. When my connection comes back, the Performance graph shows wild spikes. My laptop is the only computer working on wifi, and the router is not far from the laptop. I am also disappointed in my internet speed, even when working with a wired connection. It seems to be faster on weekdays, slower on weekends, and super slow in the evenings. Before I had Comcast, I had Verizon, and I never had any issues with wifi. Comcast was supposed to greatly improve my connection speed, but instead it has greatly diminished my internet speed and offers a terrible, erratic, and often nonexistent wifi connection.

Thank you so much for your reply. Funny...Comcast never mentioned anything about speed depending on neighborhood density when they were luring me away from Verizon with promises of greatly improved internet speed. I now wish I had never left Verizon. I should have believed my friends when they told me how awful Comcast was. Thanks again for your reply.

Erratic WiFi

My wireless has just become inconsistent. The DSL line runs into the DSL router and out to a D-Link 5 port switch. The switch feeds directly into the Mac Pro and the Airport Express (which is now 2.5 years old). The Mac Pro works just fine and is consistent. Runs the DSL Speed Test fine as well. My new (received a few weeks ago) mid 2009 Mac Book Pro 2.66 shows a full signal in the menu bar, but then fails connect to the internet or email and then comes back. Rebooting doesn't seem to help and I already unplugged the AirPort Express for about 10 minutes and then plugged it back in. It is just very erratic. Any ideas on how to pin down the culprit?

You could be experiencing RF interference. Try changing the channel used by the AirPort Express (AX) until you find one which works better or you run out of channels.

TS1702 After IOS6 update; iPad3 slow, freezes, crashes, stalls apps erratic, wifi drops ipad3

Has anyone else experienced issues with this latest IOS6 release?
Is Apple aware of this?
I know I am not the only one searching on Google reveals there are hundreds of posts complaining about sloooooooooow unresponsive system.
