Horrible WIFI Performance

I seem to have full bars most of the time but just randomly drops to 1-2 bars. Even tho i don't move any father from the router
It seems to happen when using the youtube app. [IMG]http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd56/FBIBUTTERS/IMG_0005.jpg[/IMG]
Any ideas would be great and yes i have tried a restore & i'm on the latest firmware

Hi Ronan,
Do you see the same issue when connecting to all Wi-Fi networks?
If yes, try restoring your iPhone and setting it up as a new device, as suggested here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3828
Also, test the iPhone without any 3rd-party accessories.
If the issue only occurs while connecting to your Wi-Fi network, make sure the router has the latest firmware updates available and trying changing channels. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1365 provides additional tips that will help avoid potential sources of Wi-Fi interference.

  • My wife and i have an iPhone 5 6.1.2 firmware.. We both are having horrible wifi signals.  We have done everything we can.. What update will fix this? I get full bars on my iPad 2 through my whole house.. Be standing right beside the router with iPhone NO

    My wife and i have an iPhone 5 6.1.2 firmware.. We both are having horrible wifi signals.  We have done everything we can.. What update will fix this? I get full bars on my iPad 2 through my whole house.. Be standing right beside the router with iPhones and it cuts in and out.. Drops from 3 wifi bars to 1

    I am having the same problem with brand new Ipad Mini at my house.
    It connects to the WiFi fine - but will not pull an IP address in DHCP mode, or if I set all the IP info statically - it still will not get any network access.
    This doesn't look like a WiFi issue, as it does connect and is seen by the WiFi Access Point.  All the normal WiFi fix stuff doesn't help.
    - Using a Dlink DAP-2553 which is less than 2 months old. 
    Other devices connect fine, including Ipad 2.
    This same Mini worked fine at another house and also connected to a mobile hotspot fine....so seems to be some weird IP issue with maybe this Access Point or maybe the older Router that I have (older Netgear)?
    I am actually a network engineer and still have not been able to find a solution.  Both the Ipad Mini and the Dlink WAP have the latest firmware loaded.
    Wondering if anyone has found a solution to this problem.

  • I have recently upgraded my ipad mini to iOS 6.0.2 and still have poor wifi performance. My 3rd generation ipad works great on the same network. I have done all the resets I can think of but nothing helps. I would not have purchased the mini had I known.

    On the same wifi network, third generation ipad, iphone4s and MacBook Pro work just fine.  The ipad mini often can not connect with the mail server and seems to hang a long time trying to open a web page. Had I known the mini had this kind of difficulty on wifi, I would have reconsidered my purchase. I have tried resetting the network and renewing the lease on the mini in addition. To completing the most current iOS upgrade. Still poor wifi performance. Unacceptable, in my opinion.

    Yes I tried this manyfold. But did not work.  Reading on, I took Tesserac's advice. Shut down router and computer.
    Start router after 15 minutes and wait another 10 minutes before starting the computer.
    Et voila.... everything is back in working order,

  • Airport Extreme Poor WiFi Performance

    I've been doing periodic bandwidth tests with speedtest.net for several years now. I have an account, so my results are saved. I do them from a Mac Mini and also from my iPad.
    The MacMini is hardwired to an Airport Extreme. The iPad is, of course, using WiFi. Usually it is on the 5GHz network, but sometimes (I have no idea why) it selects the 2.4GHz network. The 5GHz network is "n only", the 2.4GHz network is b/g/n. Security is WPA/WPA Personal. The Airport Extreme is on firmware 7.6.1. (I rolled back in December, a couple of months after I noticed the degraded WiFi performance.)
    Until mid-October of last year, the results on the iPad were similar to those on the MacMini.
    For example:
    On October 4 : iPad - 10.27 Mbps; Mini - 11.25 Mbps
    On July 21   : iPad - 10.13 Mbps; Mini - 11.39 Mbps
    However, beginning with tests done in late October, the results for the iPad are markedly inferior to those of the Mini:
    On January 17: iPad - 00.49 Mbps; Mini - 06.14 Mbps
    Today        : iPad - 00.87 Mbps; Mini - 08.69 Mbps
    Oddly, when I switch the iPad to the 2.4GHz network, it does much better: 2.40 Mbps (today) But, still, much worse than before October and much worse than the Mac Mini. All the iPhones in the house are on the 2.4GHz network and get results similar to the iPad. However, none of them have as much test history saved.
    I don't think it's a question of interference. None of my neighbors have 5GHz capable routers. On 2.4 GHz, I'm using channel 1. Both of my neighbors with routers are on channel 6. No cordless phones or other cordless devices in this house.
    I have recently reset the network settings on both the iPad and iPhone.
    So, what did I do to mess up the WiFi on my Airport Extreme?

    Thanks.
    Model is A1408.
    I set the 2.4GHz network to channel 8.
    I had to leave the 5GHz network to "Automatic" because choosing 36, 40 or 44 prevented both of my Airport Expresses from connecting. They would only connect with "Automatic".
    All the names are alphanumeric and short: mgn, mgn5ghz, AirEx, etc.
    I disconnected my MacMini's ethernet cable and just used WiFi. As expected, bandwidth decreased from the normal 10Mbps to about 2.8 Mbps.
    I did not do a factory reset as family is about to come home and I don't want to be fiddling when they're expecting working WiFi. I'll do it tomorrow.

  • Vista & OSX wifi performance on MacBook Pro

    MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz, 4Gb ram, OSX 10.5.2, Airport Extreme 802.11n, Airport Express 802.11n extending network
    Noticing dreadful wifi performance while running OSX (trace below) compared to performance when runing Vista (Bootcamp) on the same laptop. In both traces I'm pinging the DNS server for the connection. As a result web browsing in OSX is awful compared to Vista. Signal strength is also much better under Vista (96%) than OSX (56%) I'm 4 feet from the Airport Express which extends the Extreme BS in another room.
    Any idea what could be causing this ? This has been going on for a while to the extent I had the Airport card replaced under warranty today. Presumably ths must be an OSX issue as dual-booting into Vista effectively rules out hardware isues.

  • C3-01 - Does Latest Software Improve WiFi Performa...

    Hi all
    According to the Nokia website, the current software for the C3-01 touch & type is v.7.51, but the most up to date version that I am able to install via Nokia Suite is v.7.15. I suspect this is because my phone is on the Orange/EE network in UK and they have stopped supporting updates for this handset.
    I am struggling with a problem connecting to public WiFi networks and I am wondering if the latest v.7.51 software has any improvements to WiFi performance. Does anyone know if this is the case?
    I appreciate this phone is a couple of years old but it is still working perfectly for my needs, except for the WiFi problem.
    TIA

    This update had general performance and stability improvements.
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

  • Poor WiFi performance on new Mac Mini ?

    My new mac mini purchased a few days ago (late 2009) was exhibiting abysmal WiFi performance on 802.11n 5Ghz. I was barely getting 1Mbyte/sec through it, despite good signal strength (-50db), and my iMac which is feet away on -58db is giving almost 18Mbyte/sec...
    Anyway - after much gnashing of teeth, and even placing the mini next to my extreme basestation I gave up, then tried, out of desperation, resetting the PRAM... Fixed!
    Why on earth a brand new machine should need this doing, I'm not sure, but the old Alt-Cmd-P-R at boot up, waiting for the second BONG, and then letting it continue, fixed everything, and it now zooms along as fast as my other Macs.
    Just for info - hope it helps someone!

    These are pings from my iMac to .02 (mbpro) and .11 macmini
    the mbpro is sat right next to the mac mini... rebooting the mini sorts this out... Come on, somebody must have this problem as well?

  • Wifi performance abysmal since update a few days ago...

    Hi all,
    Is anyone else having this issue?  Since my phone updated a few days ago with the HD calling stuff (VoLTE?) my wifi performance has gone right in the toilet.  Performance before the update was terrific but now it's so bad that many apps don't work at all.
    If I turn off wifi and use 4G everything is fine.
    I'm wondering if this update did something to cause this.
    Any info greatly appreciated.

  • Wifi performance drops after connecting dualshock 3 via bluetooth

    As the title says,  when i sync my dualshock 3 control via bluetooth to my sgp321, wifi performance drops from 50 mbps to 8 mbps or less.... 
    I've tried all the common "solutions"  given,  from pccompanion restoring to put the router in the fridge with a potato nailed on the wifi antenna during a week, starting on Halloweens night... 
    Could i have a sony expertise answering about this issue??? 
    Regards. 

    Could it be that you have your WiFi and Bluetooth in same frequency band? Any chance you can try WiFi on the 802.11n band? or try changing channels of your WiFi router? I don't think you can change your Bluetooth. Frequencies... I believe WiFi on "n" operates at 5 ghz as opposed to bluetooth operating in 2.4 ghz band... that way less chance of interference

    Hello,
    I'm sorry if this has been covered but I have looked around and can't find the answer. I'm thinking of moving from SKY ADSL to BT Infinity 2. The main reason is the SKY Hub is dire when it comes to wifi. Due to my master socket location I have to use wifi for everything, which I don't mind as I get good coverage in my home. On SKY ADSL i get almost the same speed on wifi as connected over ethernet.
    My main question is what is the HH5 wifi performance like? People on SKY's 80/20 package don't seem to be able to get more than 30meg is this is the same for the HH5? Sky say you need to use ethernet for the full speeds, which I can't do. If its the same for the HH5 then I'll just get the 40/10 package but I was hopful that the HH5 would have better throughput then the SKY Hub.
    Thanks 

    Hello,
    Thanks for the quick replies I know there is little support when it comes to wifi and thats fine I'm just trying to work out if people who are on the 80/20 package get anything close to the 80/20 speeds on wifi? Obveously in ideal circumstances as I know loads of things effect wifi performace.
    If not then I would just order the 40/10 package and not bother with the 80/20 one as I'll never be able to make use of it. Or consider buying a vdsl router/modem of my own.
    Thanks

  • Extremely poor WiFi performance...

    I got my touch (8gb) yesterday, and i've noticed my wifi performance is terrible. At home, on my wireless AP (802.11g), pinging the touch i notice at least 10% packet loss, and latency all over the place. At work on our 802.11b AP I see about 60% loss. I've tried every channel on both AP's to rule out interference.
    If i let it go to sleep, when waking back up it's responsive for about 10 - 15 seconds, then takes a dive.
    Example:

    Browsing works during the brief period where it responds to ICMP, then it's nearly impossible to browse. It's not near as bad on my home connection though.
    Any ideas other than replacing? I'm going to cruise around and try to find some open AP's to test on later today just to be sure it is defective hardware and not compatibility issues with the APs.

  • HT4111 Ipad 3 wifi performance very poor whilst using Bluetooth headsets

    Anyone else noticing  iPad 3 wifi performance slows down significantly whilst using Bluetooth stereo headphones?  I can't even stream from YouTube or NBA.tv if I'm paired with Bluetooth headphone ( tried two different headphones). I can switch between Bluetooth and iPad speaker and watch the speed and performance increase instantly. I have and iPad 2 and it does not do this.

    Try change the WiFi channel e.g. channel 1, 6, or 11

  • Macbook Pro 11,2 tests very poor WiFi performance compared to iPad

    Configuration:
    MBP 11,2 running 10.10.1
    Airport Express 2014 vintage
    WiFi Scanner.app speed test results on MBP range from 1 to 3 Mbps. My iPad Air (or iPad Mini) in the same physical position tests between 18 and 28 Mbps. WiFi Scanner.app shows SNR of 17 to 18 dbm.
    The reason I am testing is because I have noticed network performance on the new MBP to be very poor in our current NZ location. In Palo Alto 2 weeks ago the MBP wifi seemed fine - I didn't bother to test.
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

    Hello .Sup,

  • AppleTV 2G - horrible streaming performance!

    I currently have 3 of the original AppleTVs and have never had any issues streaming movie and TV shows from my iTunes library on my MacPro to these devices. Yesterday I replaced all of them with the new 2G ATV and now streaming content from my MacPro is unwatchable. Just trying to stream a TV show took about 5 minutes for the program to start, then after playing 3 or 4 minutes, the show would stop and start buffering again, but then i couldn't get it to resume playing.
    I am so disappointed with these devices! Is anyone else having issues like this? Content streaming from NetFlix is fine. I am thinking it has something to do with the change to the Apple Home Sharing interface instead of whatever protocol the 1G units were using to connect to the iTunes library.

    Tim - I have been streaming with AppleTV 1st gen via 802.11g through my Airport Extreme base station for 3 years and performance has NEVER been an issue. After connecting my new 2nd gen AppleTV to iTunes via Home Sharing, it is unusable. I also tried connecting the ATV directly into the base station via Ethernet and the performance was no better, so the issue is not network bandwidth. Something has changed with how they are doing the streaming -- my guess is that it's the Home Sharing streaming protocol vs. however it used to be done directly through iTunes.
    My understanding is that home-sharing is really just a difference in how the Apple TV (or any other computer with iTunes) finds the computers and establishes that it's ok to share content. Previously, it couldn't be assumed that another computer with iTunes sharing enabled was owned by the same owner. You needed a password to connect to the share, and even then, that just gave you the right to 'stream' but not copy. Home-sharing establishes that the content is owned by the same iTunes account holder... thus you can select from any home-share source and not just stream... but copy or sync as well (although the new Apple TV doesn't have enough local storage to copy & sync so it uses it's storage as a filesystem cache for streamed content.) Apart from how it establishes the 'right' to stream, I thought the streaming protocol was the same. (BTW, I do not know this for certain.)
    Operating on the assumption that nothing is broken (yeah, I know... but we have to start somewhere.) My first 'guess' would be network (but it sounds like you've isolated that by comparing to the 1st Gen Apple TV) and my second 'guess' is that the source computer is too busy to stream. For example... I have a Mac Mini with a 2TB external firewire disk connected. My purchased iTunes content lives there. I recently purchased a season pass for a show and decided to start watching an episode. It was horrible. I discovered that (a) the Mac Mini was downloading everything it could from Apple. All the while, as soon as a new episode finished loading, it would 'sync' the show to a 1st Gen Apple TV upstairs (which wasn't in use... but it still syncs to it periodically as new content shows up.) Meanwhile, Time Machine decided to start a backup and since the files are huge, well... you can see where this is going. Basically I'm downloading these 2GB files while syncing a 2GB file to an Apple TV while backing up a 2GB file to a NAS device on the network (e.g. Time Capsule) WHILE trying to play and watch the episode. It's no surprise performance was poor. The home network was completely saturated and the disk on the Mac Mini wasn't keeping up.
    There's quite a number of people complaining of the issue here -- so it's entirely possible that this is just a bug that manifests under certain circumstances and nobody has managed to pin down what causes it. Not everyone is having the issue and I've yet to read a review where the reviewers ran into this problem. That leaves us with (a) some Apple TVs are defective, (b) all Apple TVs are the same but there's a bug that manifests itself only under certain conditions or (c) there is no bug but some people are experiencing predictable performance problems due to load on their network or load & performance on their host computer.
    In the meantime... I'd suggest trying to isolate the issue by carefully scrutinizing your iTunes server. Check to see if you've got backups or anything else happening while you are also trying to stream to Apple TV. Do you still get the issue when backups are disabled and you aren't downloading any new content from Apple to the iTunes client while the iTunes client is trying to stream to the Apple TV?
    You might also open the 'Console' utility on the Mac and watch the "All Messages" aggregated list to see if iTunes is complaining of anything while you stream. Warning: If you're not familiar with the 'Console' utility, don't be alarmed when you see lots of messages related to various things... no your Mac is NOT about to explode. It logs every little thing and most of the messages in the logs are harmless. It cleans it's own logs from time to time so you shouldn't try to 'manage' anything... look but don't touch.

  • Sudden Drop in WiFi Performance - iBook G4

    My wife's iBook G4 14" (1.1 GHz CPU) with Airport Extreme card has had great wireless performance since we've had it. About a month ago, it began having terrible reception. It used to connect fine from upstairs. Now it can only connect consistently within about 20 feet of the wireless router (a Linksys WRT54G v2.1). At the Apple store, its wireless performance is spotty as well.
    The Genius at the Genius Bar says it needs the $300 "Fix everything" treatment. I'm, of course, reluctant to spend $300 to fix a now-obsolete machine and just as reluctant to drop $1k+ for a new replacement.
    My question: has anyone else seen this problem? What fixed it?

    Hi and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    There's a few things that it could be but for starters have a look at : Antenna and check underneath the keyboard to make sure that the AX card and antenna are seated properly. Don't be surprised if you don't see a card there though as later models had an integrated card on the logic board. Nothing can be done re connections if you have one of those.
    Second thing to try is to download and run MacStumbler to see if a neighbour is using a wireless router on the same channel as yours. If so, log into your router, (the documentation that came with it will have the procedure and password) and change the channel. You don't need to do anything with the iBook, it will adjust accordingly after a brief loss of connection.
    Try the above and post back.
    Good luck,
    Adrian
