Extremely slow internet via ethernet with Mavericks upgrade

I recently upgraded my mac-mini to mavericks from snow-leopard. Ever since then, my internet connection has basically ground to a halt, and since much of my work is based off access to files on a server via a web-portal, my work flow has basically ground to a halt. I've talked with IT here at the office and the network connection is functionining fine, ping speeds are proper and I'm not dropping packets or having collisions or anything like that.
All of the issues I see discussed here revolve around the wifi/bluetooth conflict issue, and since I'm not connecting via wifi to anything, this doesn't help me at all. Is it possible I have a corrupted install that's causing this? Or are there something I could do in my network settings or elsewhere to alleviate this problem?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads 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.
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 Fusion Drive or 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 login 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 the test.

Can't Share Internet via Ethernet with Leopard

With Tiger I used to be able to share my Sprint USB Broadband connection with my Xbox 360, using a Airport Express which was connected through ethernet to the iMac. In Leopard it seems like their remove the internet sharing via ethernet option, which won't let my set up work. It lets me share internet comming from ethernet, but no the other way around. Any solutions?

Hi,
I need to better understand your set up connecting to the internet. Pls correct me if any of this is not true:
You have a USB modem connected to your iMac by USB cable
You have an Airport Express connected by Ethernet to your iMac
You want the iMac to pass the USB internet connection to Airport Express and have the XBox obtain internet from Airport Express?
In Tiger can you remember what you had selected for "Share your computer from"?

Extremely Slow Internet via PC Card 10/100 adapter (RealTek 8139)

I need to use a 10/100 PC Card adapter for internet access and it used to function perfectly under 10.4, but I recently upgraded to 10.5.1 and the speed is close to dial-up (approx 1/10th that which I was used to getting).
I have seen several posts for this issue, but never with the PC Card. Is there a separate fix available?

From what I understand the manufacturer only needed a driver for 10.2 and older versions of Mac OS. 10.3 and 10.4 worked with no supplemental drivers. There is no mention of 10.5 on the manufacturers web site.
To be honest, since Apple has been including ethernet support as a built-in, there is a lack of 3rd party support for these expansion cards on the Mac OS. I doubt that the OEM will desire to invest time in fixing whatever broke under 10.5.

Can't share internet (via ethernet) with 2 Mac Pros

I've got 2 Mac Pros, but only one cable from my cable modem. (I'm aware I could get a router, but I don't want to do that yet.) So I've got ethernet going from cable modem to Mac Pro 1 (MP1) into its ethernet 1 port and it works perfectly.
Now I'd like to use MP1's ethernet 2 port to share internet with MP2. I can't get it to work.
Settings: on MP1, in System Prefs > Sharing > Internet Sharing, I have it enabled, and set to "Share your connection from Ethernet 1 to computers using Ethernet 2"
On MP2, it's set to DHCP. But internet doesn't work on it.
I can use file sharing to connect from MP1 to MP2 (or vice versa) so the ethernet cable is good. I can transfer files back and forth. But if I launch Safari on MP2, it won't pull down any web pages.
Strange thing: on MP1, in System Prefs > Network, ethernet 1 has a green light and shows connected (that's OK). But ethernet 2 shows a yellow light, says "self-assigned IP", and configure IPv4 is set to "Using DHCP" and the IP address is 169.254.xxx.xx. I'm suspicious that this starts with 169, since I think that means it's not working. Also if I look on MP2, its IP address is 192.168.2.xx.
Can anyone help me get internet working on MP2?

Helpful, but still not working.
On the first Mac Pro (MP1, the one connected to the cable modem), Ethernet 1 is connected to the cable modem, and it has an IP of 192.168.2.100, subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. It works perfectly.
On the first Mac Pro if I go to the Ethernet 2 tab, I'm not sure what to fill in. You said not to use DHCP? So I tried Manually, giving the IP 192.168.2.102, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, and leaving router, DNS server, and search domains blank, as you suggested.
On the second Mac Pro (the "slave"), I set it to "Using DHCP" but (mysteriously) it assigns itself an IP address of 192.168.2.3. It does grab the subnet mask and router automatically. Communication between MP1 and MP2 works (I can log into one from the other), but internet does not. It's like it's partially working. I tried DHCP with manual IP, giving it the same IP (192.168.2.3) but then it says that IP is in use.
Did I do it right? On MP1, Ethernet 2, should I be configuring things manually? (I've tried DHCP too, and that doesn't work: MP1 shows an IP of 169.254.213.35 and MP2, set to DHCP, shows a different IP of 169.254.161.138.)

Extremely slow internet via wifi

Hi there!
I bought some days ago a MacBook Air (the low end model, 1,6GHz) in the USA. Now, in Italy, I can connect it to my wifi, ADSL belkin modem+ wireless router 802.11.g, but the speed is prohibitively slow! Indeed, I measured it with a simple speedtest (Internetfrog) and it consistently gives me 16 kbps . At the same time, my other computer (Windows PC), measured with the same tool, has a speed of 1,14Mbps, as it used to have...
There must be something wrong with the Mac or the connection!
Since I am new in the family, can somebody out there help me get a smooth landing in the Mac world?
Many thanks in advance
AK

I have had the same problem with my wireless lan connection of my brand new macbook.
The connection was terrrible slow.
For me it works, so perhaps this will work for you, too???
disconnect from your network by turning off AirPort or unplugging your ethernet cable.
trash the following folder (from the global /Library, not your own ~/Library in your home directory): /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
if required: enter your admin password
restart your pc
turn on your Airport card and enter your network settings
I've found the solution in discussion for macbooks, so here is the original post:

So let me know, if it works for you....

OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 slow internet via wifi

I'm posting this in the hopes that Apple will fix soon. I have a 27inch iMac late 2012. All was fine with Mavericks. After upgrading to Yosemite my internet is slow via my wifi. Yosemite 10.10.1 did not improve anything. iPad and iPhone 6 maintain normal internet speeds with same wifi. I've tried various solutions that have been posted by others and recommended by Apple support. No improvement. When accessing a page on internet, Safari browser blue line in address field goes about 1/4 of the way across and then pauses...sometimes up to 10 seconds...before continuing and rendering the page. I do not lose wifi connection, as some people report, it's just much slower than it was with Mavericks. Apple, please fix ASAP!!

I have a new MacPro which was purchased with Mavericks and all ran very well. Shortly after "upgrade" to Yosemite my attempts to connect to the internet are as you described but with an ethernet connection. This is not just Safari but also Mail too.
All my other devices ( iPhone 4; iPad 2; old MacPro 1.1 and old macbook ,both with 10.7.5,) will connect to the internet as they should whilst the New MacPro just hangs. However my Macbook Pro which was also purchased with Mavericks and subsequently "upgraded" to Yosemite connects to the internet with no real problems via wifi. Both the New MacPro and Macbook Pro are running through the same network arrangement as are all the other devices mentioned.
I find that when the New MacPro is hanging that if I use my iPhone or iPad to connect to mail for example it seems to kick start the New MacPro and it soon after makes connection.

I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, can't join existing wireless network with AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC wifi turned off. How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. working fine with TM

I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, I just found out that it can't join existing wireless network with new AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC's wifi turned off. How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. It is working fine with TM. My cheeper seagate drives etc kept crashing, so i didnt trust cheeper back up options anymore. Connected those drives to TM via firewire and could see the drives and access them.
Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed. I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc. I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast. Getting over 50mbs downloads and over 30mbs uploads. Plus everything in my home it connected to my fios router, airport express for music streaming, two apple tvs, vuezone camer system. I really didn't want to monkey around too much with my system. But are there other options to connect the new TC. Can't find info anywhere for this and called apple who gave me the info above. after hanging up, i see that i cant access my TC and I am wondering if i would have to reset it to turn wifi on again to make changes to the drive, turn off blinking light or repair it in disk utility if it should become corrupted.
For other with similar issues i did solve some other problems: when i connected it to my ethernet port on my iMac wifi stopped working. Found that I had to turn off the ethernet in the system>network screen, but then TM didn't see the TC so i restarted after changes and then it saw it.
Now a rant. I can't believe in this wireless age that Apple would make a product that cant join a wireless net work. The apple rep said i could return it and look for the previous TC that would join an existing wireless network. Are we going backwards?
Thanks!
lennydas

Ok... it is getting a bit clearer but there are still some questions.
I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast.
I was assuming airport in this statement in your first post meant the TC or the Express.. but I now realise we are still in the mass confusion stage where apple calls everything wireless an airport. So what you mean is the airport internal card of the computer??
Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed. I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc.
I think this is mistaken.
Putting the TC in bridge mode plugged into your FIOS will not slow the network.. nor will it cause mail or port issues.. in bridge the TC is just a fancy WAP and switch plus the network hard drive.
If the computer is close it will be faster than the FIOS.
You can run both wireless networks with different names.. so it is clear which is which. But you can also setup roaming so the computers themselves pick which is the best wireless.
I tried extending the wireless net work and tried joining wireless network, but the TC kept crashing and I had to keep resetting the TC. the Apple support person said these, extend wireless network and joint wireless network, are no longer a connection option with the new TC because of the new AC protocol.
Thanks again!
You cannot extend to a non-apple wireless router.
You cannot use join a wireless network because when you do the ethernet ports will be cut off.
But that has not changed.. I don't think Apple support is correct.. there has been no change with the AC model.. it is simply a fact that apple routers do not work in join wireless mode other than as a dumb client. The same applies to AC as to the earlier version.. but I have asked another person to check this.
Join in the express is the only apple router that still allows an ethernet connection.
For now you best use of the TC is bridged to the FIOS. Wireless you can sort out between several options.

Can't connect to Internet via ethernet

I have two brand new 11" MacBook Airs. I can connect to the internet via ethernet on one and not the other. I little back story...
I previously had two 13" MacBook Pros and had the same issue – one could connect to the internet via ethernet and one couldn't. I used migration assistant when I upgraded to the new MBAs, so I believe I carried over a setting from the previous "problem" comuter to the new one. Interestingly, both of my MacBook Pros connected to the internet via ethernet just fine until, for reasons unknown to me, one day one would no longer work.
When I look at diagnostics, the lights are (from top to bottom): green, yellow, green, red, red
Is it possible to revert some ethernet networking setting to factory?
Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.

The same thing has happened to me, it just stopped working. No, I've had this problem for a long time with this machine, but the other day I was downloading some large files, and all the files dropped down to nothing, internet was gone.
It will connect to Wireless, but now I'm even having problems with that.
If I plug in the Ethernet cable but set it to use AirPort, it won't find the web. I have to unplug the cable and it will use AirPort -- not good when I need to access hard drives! It had been working with it plugged in, but it just stopped. (I don't know if it was using the Ethernet or the AirPort at the time.) I wasn't messing with any settings at the time.
Tried restarting, running diagnostics, using different browsers, various websites, didn't help.
It's a MacBook 2,1 -- 2.0 GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo -- 10.4.11
I have a G4, same OS, using the same router, same settings, everything. G4 works perfectly.

Macbook Pro suddenly will not connect to the internet via ethernet cable.

I know this is a long shot... but I figured I would give it a try.
My macbook pro suddenly does not connect to the internet via ethernet cable. Please bear with me, as I am not very tech-savvy - I will try my best to describe the symptoms!
I connect to the internet via ethernet (we don't have wifi). It was working before I went to work, and when I came home I suddenly couldn't get anything to work (I know everyone says this, but I truly didn't mess with anything). Internet browsers just think for awhile and then turn up the 'You are not connected to the internet' error.
I went into my network preferences and curiously, the 'Ethernet' shows a green dot and says 'connected'. However it says 'Authentication server is not responding' underneath the last part that says '802.1X: WPA: eduroam' (I think that is my user profile).
When I go into my 'security' settings I can see that my firewall is off, so that shouldn't be causing any problems.
I've tried restarting the router and computer itself many times. Diagnostics just gets to a certain point and reports back 'Network Diagnostics cannot fix the current networking problems.' I've also tried switching to a different ethernet cable, and I tried both cables out on a PC laptop and it connected without issue. Additionally, I brought my macbook along to a friend's house and it connected to his wifi just fine, so the problem appears to just be with ethernet connections.
I know it's hard to troubleshoot this kind of thing without being there and having a look at the computer yourself, but any tips wouild be greatly appreciated.

As I mentioned above, I am not very tech savvy so I have no idea why a wireless protocol would be showing up there, I'm just listing everything I see in hopes that someone might know something I can try. This is why I am asking for help here - I'm not sure what has happened that has made me unable to connect, especially since it seemingly occured while nobody was using the computer.
I guess I should clarify that I'm not a total hillbilly- normally my firewall is set to 'on', but I set it to 'off' to try and troubleshoot the issues here as I was told that sometimes it can interfere with the computer's ability to connect to the internet. If this is not the case and firewall does not affect anything, I will turn it back on while I try to fix this.
I have tried the method you mentioned above a few times - I actually contacted my ISP earlier this week and they recommended resetting the router like that. They didn't mention any known network issues.

Windows 7 Ultimate (64-Bit) fresh install, only WLAN and video driver installed but EXTREMELY slow internet connection...

I recently checked my internet connection on my Asus G53SW and found that it was extremely slow on both the LAN and WLAN connections. I checked with a different laptop (old HP Pavilion) and I get a steady 74mbps+ connection using the same LAN cable and
also with the WLAN connection. My ISP has checked their side and everything is fine.
To try and resolve the issue I tried uninstalling, disabling and tweaking various software and even tried safe mode with networking, all to no avail. I then decided to do a complete fresh install this afternoon. I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit)
successfully onto my SSD and everything went smoothly. I have now only installed Nvidia video drivers and the (only) WLAN driver from the Asus support site.
My WLAN connection remains incredibly slow (amost half what it is on the HP and my MacBook Pro). Clearly this is an issue with either the Asus laptop or Windows but I don't know how to proceed in order to eliminate which it could be other than to try a different
o/s to W7-Ult.
Can anyone help who knows more about this than me? Perhaps someone who has had a similar or the same problem because this is giving me a severe headache!
Thanks in advance to all and for any advice.

Thank you for responding. As I stated in my original post the reason I went through this process was because of an extremely slow internet connection from both the WLAN and LAN connections on my G53SW. At that time I had all of the correct drivers on the
machine. Whilst I would agree that with the machine only having a video and WLAN driver it may well not be working 'optimally', the rationale for doing this was to get the machine working with the minimum of processes to show that it was not anti-virsu software,
Steam or the like causing interference.
I have changed out both of the HDDs this evening (a primary SSD and a secondary 1Tb HDD) for a clean hybrid 1Tb Seagate drive. Once I have installed all of the Asus drivers (and nothing else) I will try the speed test again and report back.
I can now report that with a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 and ONLY Asus drivers as supplied the issue remains. On a connection where I should see around 75mbps I am actually getting around 18mbps, sometimes considerably slower. This only affects
my Asus machine.

Can't Connect to Internet via Ethernet Cable.

Hi
I've looked around but haven't found anyone with exactly this problem. I can't get my MacBook Pro to connect to the internet via ethernet at my dorm. I am on the same connection with the same cable on a different computer right now, so I know that is not the problem. When I plug the cable in to my MacBook Pro it tells me that the cable IS connected, but when I try to go on a site on either Safari or Firefox, it takes a couple minutes trying and then tells me that I don't have a connection. I guess the problem lies somewhere between the connection and the browser. I am using DHCP (I don't know what that means but that's the default and other posts have said to make sure that that's what one is using) and the "connect using PPPoE" box is not checked. My ip starts out 192 etc. so I assume it isn't self-assigned. I WOULD LOVE ANY HELP YOU CAN OFFER.
I just got back to school today and this is already making this semester pretty awful.

I am having the same issue. Everything was working hunky-dory but then just up and stopped. The Airport works ok, but considering I am leeching off someone else's across the hall, that is not the most reliable solution.
In my Network Diagnostics, the Ethernet connection is given a green light, but the it seems unable to find the internet at all.
I have reset the router several times, restarted my computer several times, and various combinations of the two, as well as changing ports and cables etc...
any suggestions?

Connected to the internet via ethernet, BUT...

I turned off my computer, modem, everything and uplugged it all because of a severe lightning storm Saturday. Since I turned it back on the next day I haven't been able to access the web or my mail. However, the problem must be with my G4, because I have an iBook on Airport and I'm able to connect to the web and email with it. So the cable modem and Airport are evidently working properly. My G4 network settings all appear normal. I've got a green light saying I am connected to the internet via ethernet, but I'm really not. My email won't go online and no browser works, although I don't get a "can't connect" message on the browser screen, it just stays white. I had this problem before but I can't remember what I did to correct it. I just remember unplugging the modem and Airport over and over, in different order, and resetting preferences. But I don't remember what I did, if anything, to actually make it work again. Does anyone have an idea on what I can try to REALLY connect?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Frustrated in Florida,
EG

Tough to troubleshoot lightning in person, moreso at a distance!
Things to try...
Type 17.112.152.32 into your browser... thinking it may be off looking for a DNS server that doesn't exist.
Launch Network Utility and see if you can Ping like that addy, or your other computer.
Results may help us get further.

Connecting Extreme and Express via ethernet to both transmit

Hi,
I have a brand new Airport Extreme and Express set up in my house. At the moment the Express is wirelessly extending the range of the Extreme and also serving Airtunes to my Stereo.
My question is can I connect the Airport Extreme and Express via ethernet so that they both transmit a wi fi signal. Or can the Express only connect to the Extreme wirelessly when acting as a network extender?

I figured it out after I did the post.
I plugged them both in to the Ethernet but instead of having the Express extending the Extremes network, I set them both up with the same Name and Password to act independantly as an Active Roaming network.
Now my laptop just picks the one with the best signal as I roam the house and you don't even notice it change Airport.
My Airtunes is now hard wired as well.
thanks.

Slow internet via wifi

i'm posting again about the slow airport where the webpages start to load and pause for 10 seconds then continue to load VERY slowly.
i called apple, they said it's my card or the router. i brought it to the store and it worked fine, so i'm assuming it's my router.. but what is wrong with my router?
it works well with everyother computer in the house, even a powerbook.
why is it JUST my MBP that has insanely slow internet via wifi?
i have a netgear wgr614v3..
should i buy a new router just because my MBP doesn't work good with it?
thanks!

That is what I ended up doing. Though in my case it was not just my computer but my wifes Toshiba as well. They both have the Atheros based cards. I have seen reports regarding issues with the Atheros cards and certain D-Link, Linksys and Netgear routers though the one I had as a Belkin Pre-N.
The issue I had was in using the WPA security. It worked fine with WEP but had the symptoms you describe with WPA.
I recent replaced it with a Netgear RangeMax WPN824 v2 and they both appear to be working fine so far. My Dell notebook which is not Atheros based had no problems with either router.

IMac G5 won't connect to internet via Ethernet

So i have an iMac G5 that isn't connecting to the internet via ethernet.
I have already taken a look through all the Network Preferences, tried going through the network port configurations and setting all of that up again, created a new location for it.
I tried turning off the modem, and letting it restart - restarted the iMac - tried to set up all of these settings again.
I also created a test user account to see if it would work there - still nothing.
I hooked my own 17" MacBook Pro to it and it works perfectly. I never had to go through any settings on mine - it just worked as soon as i plugged the Ethernet cable in.
So the modem itself works - because my computer works. What else could be the problem?
I went through the Network Diagnostics on hers - all green dots and it says that the internet connection is working perfectly. It gives me an IP address - but it still won't load a webpage, and it tells me there that i am not connected to the internet. I am all out of ideas.
If anyone can help me with this it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

What OS you using? 10.5?
My memory of 10.5 is fading so you may need to figure out the vague instructions.
To make this easier to type Macbook Pro = MBP
When testing disable wifi & use ethernet on both machines.
Are both set to use DHCP? Or are you using manual settings?
Compare the IP addresses of the MBP & the iMac when they both use ethernet.
Compare the subnet masks too just to be sure nothing is different.
Does the iMac do any local networking at all? (e.g. is iTunes or File sharing visible on it). see *
Does it see the MBP in the sharing sidebar or can it connect to anything on the local network?
Have you connected the MBP to the iMac using the exact same cable that the iMac connects to the router?
Does the MBP work if connected to the router using the iMacs ethernet cable?
* You will need to enable file sharing to see the shared Mac in the sidebar (or have mother service shared). Enable it in System Preferences > Sharing whilst you test.
If you are have local networking in a functional state it could be…
DNS - what is the iMac DNS set to on each Mac?
Are either of them showing a grey DNS entry in System Preferences > Network? That means the router is supplying that info.
