Ethernet cabled PC OK .. Wifi Not

We have been seeing a degragation in service for while.
Number 1
So today I set up my PC next to Router and cabled it in. I put my iPad next to the PC ... both within 1m of router.
Clicking on a web site (tried several) the laptop comes up in say 1 second and the iPad takes 10 seconds.
I followed BT Helper and changed WiFi channel but since the iPad is right next to the router, I cannot see interference being the issue.
Number 2
I am not convienced this is purely a WiFi issue as our Sky box is cabled into the BT Router and it takes ages to download TV. I beleive the Broadband connection is dropping and starting. The same happens for laptops, Macs, iPad, etc
Any ideas?

OK done the tests as instructed

  • On my MacBook Pro when I am connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable, Facebook pictures do not load. They show up as white boxes with blue question marks.

    On my new MacBook Pro when I am connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable, Facebook pictures do not load. They show up as white boxes with blue question marks. This also happens on a website editor. But, when I am connected to the internet via Wifi, everything load properly. This is my work computer, so I have to be able to connect through the Ethernet cable to access everything. Please help me!

    I mostly use Safari. But I also tried it on Firefox, Mozilla, and Camino. Mac OS X. It's my work computer, so I've only tried it at the office. I have to be connected through the Ethernet cable to access my files and email on the server.

  • Deskjet 6940 connected via ethernet cable to Airport, will not print

    Hello,
    I used to run my HP Deskjet 6940 printer using a USB connection. I recently installed an Apple Airport Extreme so I can print wirelessly. As required, the printer is now connected to the Airport using an ethernet cable, and the green network light is on. On the advice of an HP rep via telephone, I uninstalled all older HP software and reinstalled HP software downloaded from the HP website.
    When I try to add the printer on my "System Preferences," it opens a panel that contains the following options:
    Protocol: Automatically chooses "line printer daemon--LPD"
    Address: Blank but allows me type in the assigned IP address
    Print using: No idea.
    Two more things: when I open HP device manager, and select 'configure a networked printer, all network confirguation info appears fine but the manager does not allow me  to "apply" it.  Not sure if this is important but no printer utilities show up in my utlities folder since the new software download. Thanks.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    It looks like you are running a Mac.
    First of all, the driver for the Deskjet 6940 is built into the Mac OS.  You really didn't need to download extra stuff from www.hp.com (sorry about the bad advice). 
    Next, let's verify that the printer is on the network.  From Safari, select Bookmarks, Show All Bookmarks.  Select Bonjour from the left hand pane and verify that the Deskjet 6940 appears on the list of devices found on your network.
    Next, follow these instructions to reset the Mac printing subsystem:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1341
    Now add the printer from the Print & Fax applet under System Preferences by pressing the [+] button.  The Deskjet 6940 should be listed as one of the Bonjour kind of printers.  Select it and then press Add.
    I think that should do it.

  • I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and transferred data from my MacBook via Ethernet cable. I did not consolidate my accounts and kept using my MacBook. Can I update the data transfer now using Ethernet and can I consolidate my accounts?

    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and transferred data from my MacBook using Migration Assistant via Ethernet cable.  I was confused about consolidating my accounts, so I continued to use my old MacBook.  Can I now update the data transfer using the same process and begin using my new MacBook Pro exclusively?  How do I consolidate my existing accounts?

    Of course. It does everything it did before Yosemite. You just won't be able to send or receive SMS messages with it.

  • AE Works with Ethernet Cable, but not Wirelessly. Please Help!!

    I purchased the AE to run music streams via Airtunes from my wireless router/PC upstairs to my stereo downstairs. When I hook everything up upstairs with the ethernet cable, everything works like a charm, but the moment I remove the ethernet cable, the AE is not being picked up by the network. I set everything up for the wireless network (while the ethernet cable was hooked up) and have a green light on the AE, but when I try to use it wirelessly, it is blinking amber and not appearing within AirPort Utlity (only when hooked up with ethernet). I have a Westell 327W Wireless Modem/Router and could use some advice as to what I am doing wrong to get some tunes downstairs.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi:
    I was chasing this very topic for a long while, then took a break.
    You are suppose to be able to stream music from your PC to external stereo speakers via iTunes, thru an Airport Express (AE) wirelees connection.
    Here's my status:
    It is pretty easy to get a wireless connection up & running so that you can play music from your laptop/pc to external wirelss speakers via iTunes, thru AE.
    I have that up & running. The problem comes in when trying to add the Airport Express to an already existing Linksys router's wireless network. When setting
    the AE up, you'll most likely get 4 error messages that have to be addressed before you go from from a flashing amber LED to a solid green LED. If you are just using Apple's ad-hoc wireless conncetion, you'll need to use Airport Utility to address the 4 issues. Basically, Airport Utility doesn't know how to address AE, since it doesn't have any IP address to a network. The other 3 are simlar problems. If you just tell Aiport Utility to ignore each of these problems, you will get the solid green LED on AE, and you'll be able to stream music directly from your PC to your speakers, wirelessly, once you finish the AE configuartion, and Airport Utility reconfigures the AE.
    I have my HP laptop and printer setup with a Linksys 54G Router and Printserver,
    so that the laptop and printer communicate wirelssly via the Linksys Router.
    Now comes the fun...trying to add the AE to this already existing wireless network. I could get the AE to work when I had an Ethernet cable connected directly from a port on the router to the AE, but when I disconnected the Ethernet cable, the router no longer saw the AE in the network. I followed all of the instructions in the Airport Utility software, went seeking advice on this
    newsgroup, the web, etc. Found lots of good information, but a lot of it was outdated.
    I have my Linksys wirless network setup with WEP-64 encryption.
    From what I have gathered, it is much easeir to add the AE to a WPA/WPA2 network, than to a WEP64/128 network, just because of newer protocols.
    The problem that I have is that WPA encryption works much slower for me than
    WEP encryption. Example: iTunes is roughly 60 MB is size. Downloading it
    using WPA, results is a download time of 22-23 minutes; where a download
    using WEP-64 takes 75-80 seconds !
    In the past, what I was trying to do was add the AE to my already existing
    wireless network. Now, I have a wireless network for the AE. I want to try to add this network to my already existing wireless netowrk for the Linksys router.
    I just haven't taken the time to try it yet. From what Apple tells me, Linksys makes this setup messy. The fact that the AE works by itself proves that the
    device is OK.
    For a history of the problems that I have been chasing in trying to get the AE setup and added to my already existing Linksys router network, visit the following link in the list of "problems" on this Apple newsgroup's web page.
    Search for the folowing topic title:
    Problems Setting-up Airport Express to Play Music thru External Speakers
    Currently, is is at the bottom of page 12 of this discusssion group.
    The info in it may be useful to you.
    Please let me know if you get yours up & running in the Linksys wireless
    network.

  • Do I connect Apple TV ethernet cable to modem or wifi router?

    Hello
    I'm trying to find out what exactly Apple TV connects to when using an ethernet cable (instead of wifi): the internet modem or the wifi router connected to that modem? I can't find a clear answer to that question.
    My wifi router (airport express) is connected to one of my modem ports with an ethernet cable (obviously).
    - Can I connect my Apple TV to my modem similarly into one of my other free ports on my modem?
    - Do I loose of the Apple TV features when I do that, or can I still stream my MabookPro or iPhone to my tv through Apple TV (does it have it's own wifi reception)?
    Hope someone can give me some insight into that.
    Thanks!
    Chris

    Connect it to your router. It's likely that your modem is also acting as a router (most ISP modems do this), so you effectively have two networks - but you want all your devices connected to the same network (the one that your wifi is created from, i.e. the router).
    The AppleTV can connect wired or wireless, but if it's within cable distance of your router, it's always better to connect with a cable.

  • Ethernet cable connection not working after upgrade

    Hello fellow Mac users,
    I'll keep this short, after the upgrade to Snow Leopard from Leopard (10.5.8), when I try to connect to the internet via my ethernet connection, it doesn't work. It says, when I go to a web browser, "you aren't connected to the internet."
    The strange thing is, when I have Airport on, it works just fine.
    Any suggestions? I'm out of them.

    There isn't a "built-in ethernet" portion on there, there is the "ethernet" part listed, and it's unconnected.
    On my Mac OS X 10.5.8 system the Ethernet item is called "Built-in Ethernet", but if I try to create a new one, the choice is "Ethernet". I wouldn't think it would matter much just what it's called.
    Understand, if I plug the ethernet cable in, I can not connect to the internet.
    I do understand. I'm trying to help you with that problem.
    When you select the "Ethernet" item, what's the setting for the "Configure" option?
    In the System Preferences Network panel, try using the minus sign at the bottom to delete the "Ethernet" item, then use the plus sign to create a new "Ethernet" item. Set the "Configure" choice to "Using DHCP". Then try connecting your Ethernet cable.

  • Airplay over ethernet connected Apple TV does not work

    Hey guys,
    I really appreciate your help!
    So here is my problem:
    I cannot use Airplay from my iPad/iPhone or my Macbook (iTunes + AirPlay Mirroring) while the AppleTV connection is via ethernet.
    If I disconnect the ethernet cable and activate wifi, there is no problem at all. But I want to use my AppleTV wired due to reasons like stability and performance.
    I have a Hitron Router, which is only working as a Modem. My real routing device is an Apple Time-Capsule. It works as a DHCP and NAT. The NAT of the Hitron Router is disabled, it only sends the internet connection and no networking stuff.
    Activating/Deactivation of the WMM Box doesn't work for me, because the Time Capsule doesn't provide such settings.
    I am sorry for my English.
    Hope you guys understand my problem.
    Thanks!

    Thank you Rudegar. The problem was that the Time-Capsule did not automatically forward the TCP/UDP Ports to the wired connections or the other way around. For all those who read this thread later and have the same problem. You don't have to change all the TCP/UDP Ports on your own. The Time-Capsule and AirPort Extreme support the NAT Port Mapping Protocol, which automatically does the Port Forwarding.
    A small research on Google did the rest, so it was easier than I thought.
    Again thank you Rudegar for your answer
    Best regards!

  • Can anyone access time machine backup files by connecting to time capsule by ethernet cable?

    I operate an imac connected to a time capsule. It works great. My internet is connected to the time capsule with an ethernet cable and I access the internet on my imac using an ethernet cable connected to the time capsule. I can also connect to the time capsule using wireless.
    A colleague of mine wants to connect to the internet and because of location issues the only convenient way is to let him connect to my time capsule using an ethernet cable. He can access the internet fine and he uses a windows PC. Now my question is, will he be able to access my time machine backup files if he connects to my time capsule using an ethernet cable? I have not given him my password.
    Any help will be appreciated. I want to help him get online but I want to make sure he cannot access my time machine backup files.
    Thanks

    There are actually 3 passwords on the Time Capsule - assuming it has the same setup as my Airport Extreme Base Station.
    One password for the WiFi connection.
    One password to access setup of the device
    One password for access to the storage drive - most people leave the check-box to just use the base-station setup password again.
    And, as I said before, you also have the option to encrypt your TM backups.  So even if somebody runs off with the device and breaks in to the disk, it will all be garbage without the TM password.
    This is the screen as it is on my computer:
    As you can see, to access my drive I have it set to use the device setup password.
    Here is a screen shot of the other options:

  • Having trouble with the ethernet cable

    Hello-
    All of the sudden the ethernet cable I have been using for my MacBook Pro seems to be causing trouble with my streaming, especially when watching live online streams like from CBS New.com, MSNBC, etc. I had not had any trouble until recently but when I push the ethernet cable in a little bit the stream seems to pick up. This also did happen the last time I installed the latest Flash update. When I do the Software Update, it goes OK, it just seems to be the live video streams.
    I thought I would get a new ethernet cable since I do not know how to hook up my Airport Extreme with the odd set up where I am staying.
    Is there a better kind of ethernet cable or does it matter what kind I get? any recommendations on a good ethernet cable (brand) I should try?
    I would uninstall the latest Flash update, but every time I mess around with Flash it causes trouble, but not the kind of trouble I am having now.

    Moved the AEBS (g) downstairs
    That's probably what caused your problems.
    Here are my questions:
    1) Would replacing the AEBS (g) with an Express (n) solve the problem?
    No.
    The weakness is in the connection between the main base station and the remote (in this case the AEBS (g).
    If you got an Airport Express 802.11n, it would improve the connectivity if it operated in 802.11n mode. However as you have none-802.11n devices which use wireless (ie the iPhones) then you would need to operate in 802.11g mode and therefore the weakness would still be there.
    2) Would ADDING an Express (n) be better?
    See above.
    If everything was 802.11n then yes, otherwise no.
    3) Would we be better off buying the wireless adapter for the xbox, rather than plugging it in with ethernet?
    If you moved the AEBS back to its original location then I expect yes it would.

  • Migrate with ethernet cable?

    i'm told that i can do the migration of data from another computer to the macbook air using the ethernet cable but i'm not clear how to do this. i assume this would be dramatically faster than doing it wirelessly, right? can anyone help?

    I had a similar but slightly different experience using the Time Machine backup from my MacBook to a USB HD that was then connected to the MBA for use with Migration Assistant. Migration Assistant did not operate smoothly as I've experienced in the past, but it seemed to work. On reboot of the MBA, the blue screen of death appeared and remained for a very long time. I was certain that the machine was hosed. The next morning I simply turned it on and let it sit for over an hour with the blue screen being the only sign of life. Finally, the log-on window appeared, but after logging on, the Airport icon in the menu part kept telling me that I was not connected to a wireless network even though I was. So I took the MBA to my local Apple Store.
    The Apple Store tech worked on the machine for about an hour and then decided that we needed to reformat the HD from an external CD drive with the original Leopard installation disks. It ran for 45 minutes but never finished "calculating sizes". At that point, the technician declared the MBA "dead" and set up a case number for a swap for a new machine. They would have done it in the store, but I ordered the 1.8 Ghz CPU version, and that's considered a custom configuration that stores don't stock. So I'm awaiting Apple Customer Service to call me with instructions to return my MBA that I've had since 4 Feb but never gotten to test very much. I like the form factor and the strength of the unit very much but I'm a little concerned over this wireless world working as promoted. Apple needs to change their current recommendations for Migration Assistant going to the MBA by telling everyone to try the Time Machine backup to HD first as I'm guessing that attempts at the wireless and wired connections with some inadvertent dropped bits set my MBA up for the scrap heap early.

  • HT3728 every time my iMac sleeps or restarts it loses the connection to airport express and i must reset and connect with router via ethernet cable.

    Every time my imac sleeps or restarts it loses the wireless connection with my airport express (used for streaming music). I then have to disconnect the airport express from my stereo, bring it to my router, connect it to my router with ethernet cable and reset the wireless connection. Even with my airport express  in the same room as my router Airport Utility cannot find it until i plug in an ethernet cable, so i do not think this is an issue with my wireless network. Router is a newer netgear.

  • New ethernet cable worked one day.

    I had been using TC to wirelessly backup up my iMac and MacBook.
    I decided to run a cable to the iMac for quicker file access. All worked well for a few hours. Now I get a message saying the ethernet cable is unplugged or not responding.
    My troubleshooting so far:
    1. Cable test good with an ethernet cable tester
    2. rebooted iMac
    3. moved the cable to another jack on the back of the TC
    4. attached cable to the MacBook, same result
    5. rebooted TC
    There is really nothing more I can think of. It seems hard to believe a cable would work then stop, if I didn't have the cable tester I would surely think that was it.
    Any other remote possibilities?

    Do you see a tiny green light on the Time Capsule next to the Ethernet connector that you're using? If so, that suggests that the Time Capsule "sees" the computer that's connected to it.

  • What is the best ethernet cable in the Apple Store?  I see they have CaT6 now and gold plated ends.

    Is the Belkin 7' Cat6 Ethernet Cable sold in the Apple Store a good ethernet cable to use and replace for my broken CAT5 very old ethernet?
    If you do not beleive they make better ethernet cables now, I do not agree.  If there is somebody who knows the ethernet cables, what is your opinion on the best CAT6 ethernet cable for hooking up my MBP to a ethernet port?

    I hesitate to respond because of your previous postings to others but here goes...
    You know that Ethernet cat 5, cat6, etc are standards. If an Ethernet cable is cat6 for example it will perform as well as any other cat6 cable since it meets the standard.
    If you want to pay more for a cable because it has gold connectors that is up to you. The gold Ethernet cable will not perform any better than non-gold Ethernet cables. The difference is only in appearance, and maybe quality of the shielding and connectors. Performance is the same.

  • Can connect via wifi but not by ethernet cable?

    Hi,
    I'm a bit confused here.
    I have an airport express which works fine and I just bought an airport extreme.
    The airport extreme is connected to the modem by an ethernet cable and the airport express is connected by ethernet cable to the airport extreme.
    I am able to connect to the airport express wifi with all the computers but I'm unable to connect any computers to the airport extreme via ethernet cable.
    Both airport express and extreme are lit up green and they both appear on the Airport Utility.
    The airport extreme setting is set so that it is joining the airport express' network. That's the only way the light shows up green instead of flicking amber.
    I've looked at the settings over and over again and am not sure/don't understand why this is? All I know is that I've got the wifi working! The ethernet connection is not workin for both PCs and Mac.
    Any help is much appreciated!

    The airport extreme is connected to the modem by an ethernet cable
    On the WAN plug, right?
    and the airport express is connected by ethernet cable to the airport extreme.
    Why? You don't need AirPort Express anymore, unless you have signal weakness in your home.
    If that is the case, you can use the AirPort Express to extend the range of the new AirPort Extreme WiFi network with WDS (Wireless Distribution System).
