Please can someone help me with my broadband conection, it is extremely slow.
I have posted the stats from my router and a set of results fr0m the BT Speedtester.
I know the connection time on here is new, and I know to leave the router on permanantly, it is not normally swtched off at all.
My IP Profile is only 0.25Mbps. How do I get this reset ?
Thanks

Help : very slow connection speed with AEBS and iMac

I connect to the internet using my newly purchased AEBS. I have a MacBook and an 24" iMac ( purchased in Nov 2007). My iMac showed very slow connecting speed of <1 MB/s download; with my MacBook placed just 1 foot from my iMac, the MacBook showed an amazing download speed of 20MB/s. If i connect the iMac to the AEBS using ethernet cable, it can get a very high speed.
So, where is the problem??
I am new to wireless, please help. I use iMac more than my MacBook at home.
Actually, i did not touch the any of the advance setting of the AEBS.

You know, I am experiencing the same problem. My wife's PC and iPhone are blazing fast, but my MacBook is accessing the internet at about dial-up speeds. Very frustrating and I haven't yet found the culprit.
Anyone???

Slow connection speeds with brand new Linksys WRT54G.

Hello all, I just purchased a Linksys WRT54G v8.2 router to replace my old Netgear one that bit the dust. Unfortunately it is fresh out of the box and already experiencing an issue: I have a 5 megabit internet connection in my apartment, but my upload/download speeds aren't even breaking 1 megabit when using this router. My latency has also doubled. If I plug the ethernet connection directly into my PC, I receive the expected 5 megabit upload/download speeds, so something is up with the router I suppose. I installed the latest firmware from the linksys site and reset the router a couple times, but no luck.... Anyone have any insight into this issue? Thanks for your help.

The WRT54G should easily be able to handle a 5 Mbps connection. I assume that the problem is with a wired connection to the router. Is that correct?
If so, then this is likely a problem of poor connection between modem and router. This is usually caused either by a very old modem, or a setup problem in the router.
1) Please state the make and exact model number of your modem (not the WRT54G).
2) Please state your ISP.
3) Please do the following test: Using an ethernet cable, connect your computer directly to your modem (not the WRT54G). Verify that you have a working Internet connection. Then do the following:
Go to "Start" > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
A black DOS box will appear. Type in "ipconfig /all" (with no quotes), then hit the Enter key. Post all of your results, except that if your "IP address" does not start with 192, then post only the first 3 digits, along with the rest of the info. To copy the info to your post, highlight the info, then use the copy (Ctrl-c) keys and the paste (Ctrl-v) keys.

Extremely slow internet speed with GT60 ONC

Ever seen I connected to my college's wifi, my connection has been terrible (1.5mbps or less). At first I assumed it was the service here but people on the same floor as me are getting over 15mbps. My wifi at home was fine as of Wednesday but I haven't been there to try it since. Also, when I plug directly into the ethernet in my dorm, no icon appears saying that I am plugged in. Can anyone help me?

I do have the correct download but still getting the same error. I was getting better connection in my friend's dorm but not quite what I should and me being in their room seemed to slow their connections. Other people on my floor are having perfectly good connections. Also, when I plug in an ethernet cord, I get no icon or sign of the computer recognizing one has been put in. I think this may be related to something I uninstalled when I first got the computer. Chrome was crashing on start up until I uninstalled something that I believe had "Killer" in the name so I'm afraid it had something to do with the network card driver. I'm not sure if this is relevant but when I go to Device Manager, there is something called "ethernet controller" under "other devices" that has no driver installed. Any other suggestions, thanks for the help so far.

Help! Extremely slow Internet speed using Linksys WRT54G router

I have an eMac running OS 10.3.9 and wired to a Linksys WRT54G router using ethernet cable. I have to use this router for my work PC. I'm also using WildBlue satellite internet. The problem is, I'm getting about 1.5 Mbps on my PC, but less than 33 Kbps on my eMac. It was running faster before using dial-up. I've called WildBlue and Linksys tech support, and they can't help. Can anyone help?
By the way, my son is using his iBook on the same router, only wireless, and he's happy with the speed he's getting compared to dial-up.
Thanks,
Eric

1400 kbps is a lot nicer than 33 kbps, isn't it? You can possiblly tweak it a little more --- I know I've seen a MTU of 1460 mentioned --- since you can also revert back to the 1400 MTU setting you found.
(Broadband Optimizer is in one sense a nice GUI to the terminal commnads you found and used.)
One more thing to be aware of, satellite internet is subject to longer latency times than cable or DSL, due to the unavoidable geometry of bouncing data packets off a satellite in orbit. That could be an issue if you ever want to play real-time online multiplayer adventure type games. It shouldn't be an issue for being able to grab OS updates in minutes instead of hours, through. Enjoy your broadband access!

Slow connection speed with FIOS

I have the Fios service. I'm paying for their 50/25 service, but I am only reallizing 5.85 download, and 5.74 upload speeds? I know that speeds can vary based on the time of day. I receive the same speed at 2 AM. I have also noticed that on ocassion, my On Demand TV shows are pixalated with no sound. This happened just last night.
I've spoken with tech support about my concerns, and their solution was to send me a new router, which I have installed. However, my speeds are the same?
My question is this; should I be satisifed with this service level? It's a long way from 50/25, but maybe it's the normal speed? I live in the Baltimore area, so it's not like I live in a rural area.
If it is, why is Verizon advertising 50/25? Who is actually realizing such speeds?
In reading other messages, I see a reference to an ONT? What is that?

As VUser asked is it wired or wireless?
If wired then yes you should be getting more. If you are testing with wireless test on wired and see if you get the advertised speeds. If you do then you are getting what you pay for and is a wireless issue which could be anything causing lower speeds. Your network adapter in your computer, an old g router being used instead of n, the router set to compatibility mode instead of performance mode (if using rev. i), the router needing to be changed to a different channel (1, 6 or 11) because of neighborhood congestion, network congestion, interference within your home from other devices, a combination of things, etc...
If you arent getting anything near the speeds you are paying for on wired when testing it (in which case I would call them) then you may need a new ONT (Optical Network Terminal) aka the big white box either instead of outside of your house where all of the wires coming in from the main fios line go to. It could very well be something else.

Slow connection speed with ps3

I got BT Infinity installed last week. I am getting 38mbs download and 7mbs upload consistently. I can only achieve about half these speeds through the ps3,18mbs and 3mbs. I have removed the Ethernet cable from the ps3 and connected it to the laptop and the speed is back up to 38mbs.
Anyone any idea why I am only getting half the speed on my ps3?

Hi mate
Thanks for the reply, the main reason I upgraded to infinity was because I play online. Sometimes I only get 3 bars on black ops which is a bit disappointing. I am from NI so I know the majority of hosts will be from the mainland as it isn't who has the best connection it is he who is most central to all the players.
Add me for a game, just go easy when you are the host

Slow Connection speed at all times, with regular d...

I would really appreciate any advice you have to offer! (P.s Connection time is so low because I recently connected the router to the test socket to see if there was a problem with my internal wiring)
I've been experiencing a slow connection speed (even though the router is connected to the master socket) much slower than with my previous provider and a very intermittent service. The broadband connection seems to drop out every time the landline is in use and when using the landline you can hear a lot of static/crackling in the background.

Hi and welcome to the forum.
Have you tried another known working telephone into that test socket without an ADSL fiter.
If you have done all that you will need to report to your comms provider, if its BT Retail you will need to call them on 0800 800 151 or 0330 123 4151 from a mobile phone.
They will mention about charges but as long as you have done as suggested and you have not damaged any of the incoming wiring there "should" be no charge. when you phone do NOT mention broadband once any noise on your line is solved then your broadband will improve

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.

Extreme slow upload speed in Dallas area

Hello
Something happened to my upload speed last Thursday, it has dropped considerably connecting to most servers making many sites very sluggish. I have the hardest time just attaching a file in Gmail and the gmail chat keeps saying 'unable to connect'. Using FTP for my work is almost impossible. It's takes me 5-10 tries to upload a file that's not even 50KB.
I've called Verizon tech support and went through different diagnostics and then they sent a new router, which still didn't help. Here's what I concluded so far:
It's not the router
It's not the computer since it happens on every machine
It's not the wiring since I can get good speed test connecting to some servers.
It's not the servers that i'm connecting to; everything works when i'm at work or on the phone.
I have 15/5, I've attached some speed test results.
Verizon's own speed test page even timed our during upload, which was stuck under 0.5 when it was about to finish.
Anyone else experiencing this? Verizon say my issue is currently with the engineers, but I have no idea how long that wait to be.
Thank you

Is there any Verizon representative that can escalate my issue?
Basically a tech came last Saturday and wasn't able to figure out what was wrong and left and closed my ticket. Whenever I call back now they're just telling me it's my computer, which is completely FALSE. All my 5-6 computer just doesn't happen to have slow upload speed of the sudden and require modification to RWin buffer as the suggested by the on-site tech. Verizon phone support bluntly told me they can't do anything further and would charge me for coming out again to replicate my issue.
Things the tech have already tried:
-Run Fios Optimizer multiple times on multiple computers.
-Replaced router
-Replaced ONT
-Rebooted PON card
Upload speed still sporadic, works perfect on some speedtests, but it's less than 0.5MB on many servers including Verizon's very own local speedtest. Gmail and any google site request is constantly slow. This site is slow and often times out. FTP to my own site is almost impossible if I want to upload a file that's bigger than 100kb.
I'm extremely frustrated.... There are reports of same exact issues in other thread, one seems to be fixed. Is there any way Verizon can look at that and apply it here?

WDS slow connection speed

I have a New Mac Pro Tower connected to an AX b/g compatible WDS network and it gets 10k kbps download speeds.
The Problem is my iMac G5 connected to the same network has an extremely slow download speed of 583 kbps?
Anyone have a clue as to why iMac's internet connection speed is so much slower?

I have had the same problem since november 2007:
I connected an old airport extreme basestation and a brand new one through WDS.
it took me a while getting the WDS to be faultless. (the encryption caused issues). So with both in WEP mode I lost the last error messages and both devices tell me all is fine, but it isn't.
I have NO access to the Internet via the router. I have no access to anything on the other side. The same goes when I hoop up in the other side then I have no access to devices (IP-Cam, printers, routers, Mac's, PC's...).
What is wrong with WDS?
I removed the old aiport extreme and used only a TimeCapsule and the new Airport Extreme. Nothing changed.
The Internet is extremely slow and gives time outs.
Finally I pulled a 60m cable to the TimeCapsule

WRT160N SLOW CONNECTION SPEED

I have slow connect speed when using the WRT160N. I have tried every thing, done dianogstics on connection, router, modem, thru three diffeant software, norton, windows, system machinics. when ising the router some days the speed is amost like using dial up
I use XP, on both a laptop desk top, up to date drivers, both cna use wifi or direct connection by cat 5e, 3 m of ram, a wimax internet server,,,,, (company called Bridge Maxx)
But when I stop using the router and connect directly to the modem no problem works fine,,,,, not sure what to do........ just need my wifi back,,,,so i cna work,

Whats the Version number of your Router, If you have having version2 router, then there is an knows issue with Version2 Router. Downgrading to Build 8 is generally accepted to correct these issues, however Linksys have indicated to several people they do not have the build 8 firmware to give to end users.
This is ONLY for WRT160N V2 routers. This firmware will not work on WRT160N V1.
You can find it at http://audipages.com/router/
Follow the dowload and firmware downgrade instructions on that page.
Once you upgrade the firmware of your router, you need to Reset your Router and Re-Configure all the settings on it back again. Once you do the settings on your router i think this should solve your problem.

Very slow download speeds with ATT U-Verse

Hello,
Experiencing very slow download speeds with Macbook Pro 2011, on Lion, and ATT UVerse Max, which should allow for an avg. 11-12 MBPS speed. Instead, I get a fluctuating 60-370 kbps speed. I am not experiencing this problem on my Windows machines (Laptop running Windows 7 and Desktop on XP), it is only affecting the Macbook pro. I wonder if this issue is a known problem with ATT U-Verse and Macs, I spent hours yesterday with their support online and they couldn't help me, stating that from their side all settings were OK; the first representative from ATT re-booted the router remotely and that seemed to work for about 10 minutes, and then it went back to a crawling speed...
Any suggestions welcome!
Thanks

Do you have QOS enabled in your router? Did you try plugging the win7 laptop directly and check the speed?

Slow connection speed imac but not macbook

Slow connection speed on my imac 2.4ghz intel core 2 duo running 10.6.8, I get download of 15mbs and upload of 9mbs but on my macbook pro 2.8ghz intel core i7 on the same desk I am getting 33mbs and 10mbs!
Can anyone help me out on this, thanks in advance.

The two key numbers here are: 1) Transmit Rate: 59 which is the current maximum bandwidth of the wireless connection in Mbps, and 2) The MCS Index: 6 which indicates that the iMac's connection to the BT Home Hub wireless is only using a single spatial steam. Forget the techo mumbo jumbo, your iMac is much more capable than that.
You should expect a Transmit rate closer to 130 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz radio. At least this explains the poorer performance of the iMac. I would venture to say that if you temporarily connected the iMac to the BT using an Ethernet connection the iMac would equal or exceed the MacBook Pro's bandwidth performance.
Has this always been an issue or something that has just recently started happening?

Macbook pro: Extremely slow upload speed

Hi,
I know this question has beed raised many times before me, seemingly from hundreds or thousands of users, but none of the threads I have found has lead to any solution.
My new Macbook Pro (15 inch), using Lion 10.7.3, is simply unable to obtain anything but an extremely slow upload speed, when using Wifi. I am using an Apple Airpor Extreme wifi device. My work PC, my older Macbook Pro (13 inch), all tablets and telephones etc hooks up to the same Wifi device and obtain all the speed they should, but my new Macbook Pro is sloooooooooooowwwww and sometimes cannot even initiated an uload speedtest at i.a. www.speedtest.net.
As mentioned, I am aware that there are plenty of threads on this, but I am not aware of any that provides a solution.
Is there a solution or is my new Macbook nothing but crAplle?
Best regards,
n

My subscription is 10 Mbps downloadand 2 Mbps download. upload
I get that (10/2 Mbps) on all other devices, other than my new Macbook Pro.
On my new Macbook pro I get 10 Mbps download, but only from 0 to 25 Kbps upload.
