Extremely slow wireless throughput on WRVS4400N

I am getting extremely low wireless throughput on my new WRVS4400N. I am using it with 802.11g laptops, and it doesn't matter what mode I put it in - g only, b/g, g/n, or b/g/n. It connects at 54 mbits/s, and as soon as I start to send data, it drops down to 11, 5.5, or even 1 mbps. It happens with several different laptops with g cards, and none of the wireless settings I've tried seem to help.
It appears other people have had this problem. Is this a known problem? SHould I just return it?

Macbook Air Extremely Slow Wireless

Hello All,
Got my brand new MB-Air and from the get-go noticed extremely slow wireless performance. I did a bit of digging and here is what I found.
The MB-Air works OK with cheap (consumer) wireless APs, however when used in conjunction with the commercial APs most of which use the Atheros chipset the performance is horrible. I found that when connecting to APs that use Atheros' commercial chipset, the MB-Air connects with 802.11 G specs instead of N even when the signal metrics are excellent such as -39 RSSI.
Moreover, even With the 802.11 G connection at 54Mbps the performance is both sluggish and latent. Small file transfers have a 50/50 shot at working and large file transfers seem to die reliably. Albeit this could be an issue with Apple's implementation of SMB / Samba which is rather poor.
I have tried to turn off Bluetooth to see if my experience is different. We'll see.
I would be interested in feedback from people who are also experiencing the same poor wireless performance to learn the chipset of the AP they are having issues with.
By-the-way -- I will take a fix, if someone has come up with one. However my guess is that this is an engineering issue that Apple has to fix.
BP

Sitting side-by-side, my MBA was averaging less than 1 Mb/s on downloads, and my MBP more than 9 Mb/s. The MBP was fully ten times faster. As you can imagine, viewing videos was a ragged, unpleasant experience on the MBA.
I'm using an early wireless-N Belkin router, so it didn't show up on airport utility, thus i couldn't change channels there as proposed on this thread. But to isolate the problem, at my brother's suggestion i took both computers to a Starbucks, and observed the two computers downloading there at equal speeds. So clearly the problem wasn't with my MBA, but my router.
I went to Belkin's website to figure out how to change channels on the router, and checked for firmware updates. There was one, so i figured I'd do that before attacking the "changing channels" task. I upgraded the firmware, and with that simple fix my MBA is happily zipping along now with >9 Mb/s downloads, same as the MBP. More than TEN times faster than before. My iPhone download speeds increased more than tenfold, too.
My advice, if you're having wireless problems with your MBA: First make sure your router's running the latest firmware.

Extremely slow wireless printing with HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m

I'm seeing extremely slow print speeds when printing wirelessly from a Mac or a Windows XP system to a new HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m printer. The printer begins printing immediately when I request a print, but it only prints one line. It will then take about 15 minutes to print the rest of the page, printing each line after a very long pause. Demo page printing doesn't exhibit this problem, only documents from programs like Word 2008, Safari and Firefox (tried firefox on PC and Mac) are affected.
If I connect to the printer through a USB connection it prints fine, so this problem appears to be with wireless printing only.
Printer: HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m
Computer: Mac mini (Late 2009 model) (also tried a Windows XP laptop as a comparison, using latest drivers from HP's website)
OS: Mac OS X 10.6.2 with all available updates installed
Computer connection method: Wired Ethernet connection to wireless router
Printer drivers: version 2.2.1 (Apple supplied, HP drivers never installed as system shipped with 10.6)
Wireless router: Apple TimeCapsule (Early 2009) 1TB, running in a/n and b/g modes on 2.4 and 5GHz. TimeCapsule is in bridging mode as the DSL modem handles DHCP service
Encryption: WPA2 Personal, no MAC filtering or hiding of the SSID.
IP addressing scheme: All addresses are handed out by DHCP server with no reservations of any kind
The TimeCapsule is sitting three inches from the printer and the printer indicates full signal. Connection of the printer to the wireless network and setup of the printer on the Mac went without a hitch. Only when printing a test document did we discover the problem. The wireless network is behaving as expected when accessing the Internet from both Mac and Windows devices (tested with a Dell laptop running XP and a MacBook running OS X 10.6.2), so I don't see any overall problems with the wireless network.
Attempted remedies:
1. Rebooting and powering off, waiting, powering on computer
2. Resetting the print subsystem, turning the printer off and on again and reinstalling the printer
3. Unplugging power from the printer and letting it sit for several minutes before trying to print wirelessly.
None of these worked.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I don't think there is anything wrong with the DSL modem HW. There might be an issue with how print data is being routed though.
Please try the second experiment where you blank-out the default gateway and DNS entries from the printer's internal web configuration page. Open the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address. Select Networking and then Wireless (802.11). Under the IPv4 Configuration tab, select Manual IP:
For Manual IP Address, use the existing printer IP address.
For Manual Subnet Mask, use 255.255.255.0
For Manual Default Gateway, leave blank. This is important.
Select Manual DNS Server:
Leave both the Manual Preferred DNS Server and Manual Alternate DNS Server fields empty. This is important.
Press Apply.
Turn off the DSL modem, the printer and all computers connected to your network. Wait 60 seconds then turn on the DSL modem and then turn on the printer. Then turn on the computers. See if this corrects the printing speed.

Extremely slow wireless xfer from Macbook to USB drive on Airport Extreme

I have tried to set up my external 1TB seagate USB drive to my AE for wireless network storage (only 1 computer on network, but I also have an AppleTV). If the drive is connected directly to my MB the transfer speeds are fine, but when I try to go wireless the speeds are extremely slow - to the point of unusable. I am sure these issues have been discussed previously, but I cant find an obvious solution. Is there anyway to run network diagnostics to see what my MB->AE transfer speeds are and what my AE-WWW speeds are? I dont recall the cable bandwidth that I get from Time Warner - but it is one of the faster options.......

There are at least two explanations for this: (1) Your wireless connection is like to be slower than a direct USB connection. (2) Apple base stations are quite when serving connected disk drives. One reference cites 10-30% of the speed of a directly-connected USB drive.
I dont recall the cable bandwidth that I get from Time Warner - but it is one of the faster options.
I wouldn't expect that to be a factor in the performance you're seeing.

EXTREMELY SLOW WIRELESS NETWORK SPEED !!!

Hi,
I have an AirPort EXTREME conected to internet and an AirPort EXPRESS which I use as a range extender with WDS. My broadband speed is (unfortunatelly) never better than 2.7 Mb/s. I have noticed that my EXPRESS station is working at 54 Mb/s transmit rate while my EXTREME is always between 5 Mb/s and 25 Mb/s, most frequently between 8 and 10 Mb/s. I tried using only the EXTREME station for better monitoring of the traffic and I found that it works even slower, somewhere around 2 Mb/s. I use WPA2 coding and a fixed channel transmission (stand-alone or in WDS).
Is there any reason why transmit rate would drop so significantly? Is there a way to force a higher rate? My transmit rates are low very irrespective of whether I am somewher in the house behind wals or right next to the antena... The internet download time is slow even for just internet pages while downloading any file is quite slow and the connection to my wireless printer/scanner is greatly affected.
Please help !
Many thanks,
Igor

Just to add some of my experiences to the debate.
I use a late-2008 TC and connect it wirelessly to an ISP supplied modem/router and a late-2008 iMac. Because of limitations with the modem/router, I had to use 802.11n at 2.5 GHz. The internet connection is via the modem/router and internet usage from the iMac is fine in all circumstances (it does not go via the TC).
Performance was pretty good with 7.3.2 but when I originally tried to upgrade to 7.4.1, TC backup became very slow and pretty unreliable. In my case, restarting the router got things going again but TC usage was always a pain. So, I reverted to 7.3.2 and ran beautifully for several months.
Then I tried 7.4.2 when it came out and my regular hourly backups became very slow, typically taking 70-80 minutes rather than 2-3 minutes. However, in contrast to 7.4.1, the connection to the TC was very reliable if slow, somewhat different to my experience with 7.4.1.
Switching back to 7.3.2 and TC was back to normal.
Being curious and having time, I decided to try changing things and see what happens. First tried dropping the wireless to use 802.11g. Result with 7.4.2 was excellent - probably a little faster than 7.3.2 with 802.11n. Tried 7.3.2 with 802.11g and that was as good as 7.4.2 with 802.11g.
Then tried letting the modem/router select the wireless channel and 7.4.2 with 802.11n became a lot better but remained at least twice as slow as 7.4.2 with 802.11g (but not 30 times worse).
So, what do I conclude from that? Not exactly sure but there would appear to be something amiss with the 802.11n support on the 2.5 GHz band for the "old" single band TC when using 7.4.2. Perhaps it is more susceptible to interference or something but when faced with identical circumstances (just switching the firmware level, no other change), it is definitely worse to very much worse.
For now I am happy with 802.11g and 7.4.2.

After 7.3.1, extremely slow wireless on Xbox 360 and PS3

Everything was running good on my PS3 and Xbox 360 connected wireless to my Airport Extreme. I upgraded to 7.3.1 and now things are running very slow. I also saw some very slow transfers from one Macbook Pro to another, both connected via Wireless N (0.5 MB/sec).
I'd reset the router and modem and have no idea what the deal is. Anybody have any thoughts? I tried connecting my PS3 and Xbox 360 with an ethernet cable and speeds go back to normal. Too bad I can't run a wire where I am now.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

I'm a bit lay entering this discussion. But I too experienced this problem with my PS3. I benchmarked my AirPort with my old DL524-UP, and amazingly, the AirPort was about 30 to 50% slower both on my PS3 and my PC. So I checked out the settings on the D Link to figure out a variable that might be having an impact. I noticed that the D Link was configured to Channel 6. So I changed the AirPort settings from auto to Channel 6, did another benchmark, and what do you know. Suddenly my PS3 and PC are downloading beautifully. So that's my solution to this widespread problem - manually select channel 6!

Cisco 5508 Hreap - slow wireless throughput

I have a Cisco 5508 setup at a host site with 3 other sites connected using hreap on 1252APs. When doing testing of network speed I find that the throughput from the wireless to wired network is at about 18mbps yet the same test on wired side is 85-100mbps and wireless to wireless is 18mbps
Any ideas what could cause this

Hm, just guessing is hard. So ...
Can you upload the configuration?
Which standard do you use? .11n? Encryption method?
Where you the only one on ap while taking the tests?
Have you tried some tests at various daytimes?
Any chances to check for interference or change channels?

Extremely Slow Wireless Performance on an Extended Network

Hi
My network setup consists of a Time Capsule (early 2009) wireless network that is being extended by an AirPort Extreme (early 2007) which has an Xbox 360 connected to it via ethernet.
1) Everything seems fine on the MacBook Pro (wireless N) when connected to the Time Capsule and I can get the full speed of my broadband connection (8Mbit). However, when the MacBook Pro connects to the AirPort Extreme, in another room, my broadband speed drops to around 2Mbit, however the transfer rate usually remains unchanged (between 78 and 130).
I know it has nothing to do with the positioning of the base stations, as when I turn off the AirPort Extreme, the MacBook Pro, in the same room, has the full internet speed.
This is really annoying as I rely on my Xbox 360 for heavy video streaming and content downloads.
2) When the Xbox 360 is downloading something, any internet served by the AirPort Extreme becomes totally unusable and dead.
3) Additionally, the AirPort Extreme sometimes insists on extending the 5Ghz network from the Time Capsule which only provides a rate of around 10.
Please help me!
Thanks

To insure that your AirPort Extreme is extending the 2.4 GHz band from your Time Capsule:
Open AirPort Utility, select the Time Capsule and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
Click the Wireless Options button
Assign a separate name for your 5 GHz network. (By default, AirPort Utility will automatically add "5 GHz" to your network name.)
Click Update to save your changes
Then check to make sure that your AirPort Extreme is setup to extend the 2.4 GHz band from the Time Capsule, not the "5 GHz" network.
If you perform a Factory Default Reset on the Time Capsule, it will not affect your stored backups on the Time Capsule disk.

Extremely slow wireless internet thru Time Capsule

My iMac is connected by wire to Time Capsule and internet speed is great 30+MB/s.
My Mac Mini (approx 60'from TC) connects wirelessly through router to internet. Speed was fine at first and then started slipping. Now near zero to 3MB/s. Tried reboot - seems to help but only momentarily.
Any clue what is going on? If it's just too far away - is there any solution short of moving mini (which isn't workable)? If it's too far away - why did it work fine for several months?
Completely frustrated - Please help!

I'd check the strength of the signal and noise you're seeing. On your mini launch AirIPort Utility, then double-click on your base station on the left to enter "manual setup" mode. Pull down the "Base Station" menu and select the "Logs and Statistics" item. In the resulting window select the "Wireless Clients" tab. What values do you see for "Signal" and "Noise" for the mini? This discussion post

describes how to evaluate the relationship between the signal and noise numbers.

[SOLVED] Extremely Slow Wireless on Macbook Pro

SOLVED (Hopefully forever.)
Problem: The b43 and bcma kernel modules do not get along. You'd never know this with kernels up to 3.2.14, as bcma is not automatically loaded and it is not needed with b43. For recent kernels however, it is. It in turn destroys wireless internet speeds.
Solution: The broadcom-wl driver. It used to be portrayed in the Wiki as being something to avoid, but that has changed recently. It offers a better connection and much faster speeds, but can take a little bit more effort to set up. Just a bit.
Broadcom-wl Installation and Setup
1. Install broadcom-wl from the AUR.
2. Uninstall b43-firmware if it's installed.
3. Note what broadcom-wl has put into /etc/modprobe.d. These blacklistings will ensure no interference from other kernel modules. Also make sure you're not blacklisting `wl` or its friends, if you have been.
4. Don't reboot yet. Go to /sys/class/net and use the command:
udevadm info -a -p /sys/class/net/<yourdevice> | grep address | tr [A-Z] [a-z]
(of course replacing <yourdevice> with the names of your interfaces - probably eth0 and wlan0) This will tell you their MAC addresses. Write these down!
5. Go to /etc/udev/rules.d/ and create a file called 10-network.rules. We are going to make custom udev rules so that our interfaces are matched to their proper names at boot time. Here is a template:
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff", NAME="net0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="ff:ee:dd:cc:bb:aa", NAME="wifi0"
Enter the MAC addresses (in lower case!) and give them names in the NAME field. Apparently it's a good idea to choose new interface names, different from the default eth0 and wlan0. My file looks like this:
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="58:b0:35:f6:45:0c", NAME="wired0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="f8:1e:df:ea:99:17", NAME="wifi0"
6. Go change ANYTHING that had references to the old interface names. I had to change my rc.conf, as well as settings in my wicd preferences so that it knows what names to look for.
7. Rebuild your kernel image with
sudo mkinitcpio -p linux
(you might not have to do this, but it couldn't hurt.)
8. Save this page. Yes, the html. This is so that you still know what to do in case of problems and no internet.
9. Reboot and enjoy your restored wireless internet.

Seems everybody and their grandmothers are having internet problems since 3.3.
On a Macbook Pro, kernel 3.3.2-1.
Here is my problem: http://i.imgur.com/AcqLM.jpg
I made that image before checking the forums, but now that I've looked around I suspect the kernel.
Put up with it until 3.3.3? Or regress?

Maybe I should start compiling some kernels myself and search the regression with a bisection...

Slow Internet throughput - solutions needs osx progamming fix .plists

Below post on CNET was useful.
The very last last thing worked for me.
I think apple should create an AUTO refresh on some of these plists that become corrupted.
It seems to be a big problems for a lot of software bottlenecks.
OSX Programmers are you out there?
There was a blockage somehow and my 4mb service was running at .5.
Trashing the below 3rd plist file fixed it immediately
So if you are having trouble streaming videos etc from the net.
Trash your
com.apple.internetconnect.plist
+
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10331876-263.html
Delete specific .plist files [Useful for: System will not automatically reconnect to network after sleep, slow wireless throughput, cannot connect to router]
Try deleting the following files from the ~/Library/Preferences/ directory (this is the Library directory within your User folder):
com.apple.internetconfig.plist
com.apple.internetconfigpriv.plist
com.apple.internetconnect.plist

I think apple should create an AUTO refresh on some of these plists that become corrupted.
Please advise Apple via their feedback mechanism.
You may also wish to indicate how you would implement an auto refresh
facility, presumably via the plist, when the corrupted plist would have
to be read in order to determine the auto refresh requirement.

Windows Vista = very slow wireless network

I have a brand new Lenovo ThinkPad Z61p. A great machine, great performance. But Vista seems to get in its way.
The first thing I did, was to re-install Windows Vista to get a clean machine, without alle the junk that comes with it. At work, the wireless network worked just fine - but when I came home, it was so slow. I mean REALLY slow. If I turned the wireless network card off, and plugged in a cable, I was flying on the Internet. But for the wireless adapter, even a page like msdn.microsoft.com could take 3-4 minutes just to load.
I thought the issue was the drivers for the wireless network adapter, but later, in my desperate attempt to solve the problem, I removed a Windows feature called Windows DFS Replication service, which solved my problem.
This was 4 weeks ago - and now the problem has returned. I've been reading a lot of forum posts around the web. I've uninstalled some other features, disabled IPv6, disabled Vista Auto-tuning ( i did that 4 weeks ago as well)...
Nothing is working. I've also changed the default Network authentication mode, I've updated the drivers for the Intel Pro Wireless 3945abg, changed the wireless mode and a lot of things. Nothing is working.
Does anyone in here have the same issues, or does anyone know what is wrong?

I picked up a new IBM ThinkPad T60P (Wide) running Vista Business, and I am experiencing the same problems with an extremely slow wireless connection. I get the same slow performance on the wireless network in my office as in my home.
The second I disable the wireless and plug in the cable directly to the router (ZyXeL) everything runs perfectly. I also tested connecting an Apple AirPort to the router (via cable) and connected directly to the AirPort as an access point instead of connecting to my normal wireless network, and then everything was working just fine for some reason (almost as fast as when I connect directly to the router via cable)!
The really weird thing is that I get really quick download rates on at least one website (www.dailyrush.dk) where I can download files at 1.1 MB/s (I should have 15 mbit downstream). The web pages of that website still load pretty slow though when I'm browsing. Most other websites that I have tested load insanely slowly, both when I'm just browsing the pages and when I'm downloading files. For example a 1024 x 695 pixel JPG on Flickr.com might take several minutes to load, or simply time out. The Google front page sometimes takes 15 seconds to load.
I have my old laptop parked right besides the new one, both connected to the same router on wireless, and the old laptop (IBM ThinkPad T41 running XP) performs fine - downloading anywhere from 10 to 100 times faster!
It also takes forever to connect to VPN, perhaps 15 or 20 seconds on the Vista laptop and no more than 2 seconds on the XP machine.
When I ping www.google.com in a command prompt I get some packet loss (between 25 and 100 %) but reasonable ping times averaging about 45ms which is the same as on my old laptop.
I have tried pretty much everything:
Disabling Windows Firewall
Disabling TCP/IP v6 and those other entries in the wireless adapter configuration that are new in Vista
Disabling security on the router entirely
Changing security on the router to WPA and WPA2
Changing the channel on the router (tried several available channels)
Switching between 802.11 a/b/g modes on the router
Booting up in safe mode (heard that worked for someone with a similar problem)
Updating the wireless adapter driver to the newest version
Installing all available updates from Windows Update
Moving my laptop really close to the router (duh)
Uninstalling MacAfee
Uninstalling Bullguard
Uninstalling a bunch of pre-installed IBM stuff
I have come across several threads online where people have had the exact same problem and solved it by uninstalling the pre-installed MacAfee software. My laptop came with MacAfee too but I uninstalled it right away and installed Bullguard instead. When I noticed the connection problems I uninstalled Bullguard too, but little did it help.
I really hope that someone can help me out here ... I'm kind of running out of ideas :-( Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Stefan

T410 slow wireless speeds

We recently acquired two refurbished T410's - both of these laptops have extremely slow wireless speeds (slow or no page loads) and it seems that they periodically disconnect from the wireless connection for short periods of time.
I have these laptops connected to the same wireless connection as many other computers in our office - all of the other computers operate normally - only experiencing this issue with the two T410's.
I see that others have had a similar problem, but have not been able to locate a solution. Any help the community can provide would be appreciated.
T410's running Windows 7 Pro 64

Hi Jstern,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with Wifi on your ThinkPad T410.

Extremely slow printing with hp photosmart d110

Recently, I've had extremely slow wireless printing from my laptop to our HP Photosmart D110 series printer. The printer is part of our wireless network and is used by my business laptop and our home laptop. When I send a simple Excel spreadsheet to print, the printer screen says, "Printing", the on/off light flashes and it looks like it's printing. But it takes 1-2 minutes for the document to finally print. This problem does not occur when we print from the home laptop; things print instantly. No updates or system changes before this problem started.

1-2 minutes! Try 10-15 minutes on my Photosmart. These things are junk. I have discussed my many issues with phone support 10-12 times in the last six months with no progress.

Laserjet CM1415fnw - wireless printing extremely slow

Hello,
I've got my new CM1415fnw, set up wireless following instructions and installed OSX drivers on my Macbook. Printer is visible and manageable via HP utility, test page is printing extremely fast.
The problem is, everything EXCEPT a test page is printing HIDEOUSLY slow - like 5 to 7 minutes after you sent anything to print, the printer finaly starts printing it... And if you're printing a multi-page document, it actually takes 5 to seven minutes for EVERY page to start printing!
Obviously, something must be very wrong with this shiny new printer printing at cool speed of 8-10 pages PER HOUR, where my old Photosmart C7100 was happily printing about the same number of pages per minute? All wireless setting are the same in both cases, and as I already mentioned printer is visible and accessible, and test page prints blazingly fast. It's just that except for test page printing this device is pretty much useless at the moment...
Are there any hints or something I should check to identify the problem? As I'm mentioned, I'm under OSX, so Windows-based HP diagnostic tools are not much help...

Hello I just bought this printer a few days ago and set it up and have noticed the same problems with extremely slow network printing through the wireless. I have a 70 meg down fast internet connection & a Belkin 450n db wireless router. When I print photos it takes almost a half an hour for the photos to come through the network and print, which seems very strange for an office LaserJet to be considered normal output. I've also look into purchasing an auto duplex accessory and extra RAM but have sadly found out that neither are an option for this model. First off I have to say shame on you HP for not offering loyal customers the option for auto duplexing and RAM upgrading. Second the print speeds on this thing are absolutely atrocious! Third, your outsourcing of customer support or tech support overseas absolutely sucks. I called up tech support and was transferred immediately to the Philippines. The wrong department received my call and then transferred me to India. I spoke with somebody who had a terrible accent and the call quality was bad on top of that so half an hour went by and he really couldn't help me with my slow network printing issues. On top of that I asked him if although duplexing an extra RAM were accessories I could purchase for this model and he couldn't figure that out he didn't have an answer. So now that I finished ranting , can anybody help me with this or is this the way this thing was made to be, slow as can be?
