How fast should iPhone be on network?

I have two AEs, one configured to extend the network, which is both 5 and 2.4.  Mac laptops have a speed of a little over 6 MBps when latching onto the extended AE, but our iPhones are generally very slow, but inconsistently so.  Speedtest.net shows them anywhere from 0.16 to 3.49 Mbps.  Is there anything I can do to speed up the phone connection?  Thanks!

Unfortunately, this is a "nature of the beast" with the iPhone operating system.
Even if you have the iPhone close the extending device, the iPhone will tend to connect back to the main router, not the closer "extending" device.
If you normally use the iPhone close to the "extending" device, you could delete the current wireless connection on the iPhone and set up a new connection with the device very close to the "extending" router to see if it might "lock" on to that device rather than the "main" device.
No guarantees, but worth a try. I average 3-4 Mbps on the iPhone here on a 6 Mbps connection at the moment.

    I recently changed my wifi password at home and now my iphone will not connect.  It will not ask me for a password just says will not connect to network.  Advice on how to get iphone to ask network password for wifi?

    First, try tapping on the network in the Wi-Fi settings and then tap "forget this network". Then reselect the network in the main Wi-Fi settings screen and see if will then ask for a password. If not, try resetting the Network Settings in the General -> Reset section and then reconnecting to your W-iFi.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to check iPhone is which network?

    if i got iPhone imie number how can i check that iphone Details & that iphone is which network.....

    This depends on the country where the phone was supplied. Assuming you have not purchased a phone from another country then I would suggest that you try a sim from a from another phone and see if it works.
    if you have a friendly mobile phone store they may have a selection of sims they could try for you

  • How fast will iPhone 5s sell out from Apple Stores?

    Ok I know this is impossible to answer but I was just wondering compared to previous years how fast iPhones have sold out. I may not be able to get to an Apple Store untill Sunday, 2 days after the release date. Do you think that the iPhone 5s will be sold out by then?

    As you said, impossible to answer.
    Nobody here knows how many iPhone 5s Apple has to sell, how many of each model are allocated to each store, which store you intend to visit, which model you want, how many other people will want to buy the same phone at that same store, and how quickly the store staff can sell them.
    My purely uneducated guess is: you'll be extremely lucky to find any initial stock left 2 days after release, unless they've had further deliveries. But I could be wrong.

  • How to add iPhone USB to Network Interface on iMac? Please help.

    Hi,
    I've been trying to find a solution of the past few days to no avail. I've accidentaly deleted iPhone USB from network interface (by pressing minus sign) and now my iMac won't see it. I wanted to tether via USB, but it was red before, and then I deleted it at all iTunes sees it and syncing is working, but I can't tether now. I've got iTunes 11.1.2 and newest iOS for iPhone 5S.
    Thank you in advance!

  • How to tell iPhone's local network speed

    Hi:
    Is there an app for this? I do not need a internet speed test but the speed at which I'm current connected to my wireless n router with my iPhone, like the Network Utility shows you on a Mac i.e. 130 Mbps is what I am currently connected at with my Mac.
    Thanks!

    I'm not sure where I need to go in that utility to see a list of connected clients.
    See my reply above.
    With WPA2 and a decent password you shouldn't have unwanted users.  Are you sure you don't have Guest Network turned on?  If you have a Guest Network and didn't set a password, that would enable almost anyone to use your Airport.
    Without knowing your exact setup, my basic recommendations for security include:
    Create a closed network  (aka do not broadcast the network name aka SSID)
    Network name - use a complex name, more like a strong password than anything else
    WPA2 Personal
    Strong password - at least 8 characters, mixed alpha, numeric & symbols
    MAC address filtering on - you will need to enter the MAC addresses of the devices you want to allow on your network; make the default "No access"
    Don't enable a Guest Network, or if you really want one, at least secure it as strongly as your private network

  • How fast should I be able to go wirelessly??

    Linksys Wireless Router WRT54G
    I have a 3Mbit Internet connection with one PC hard wired and two PCs using the signal wirelessly. When I do a speed test on the hard wired PC, my speed is right where it should be, at 3Mbits.
    When I test my speed wirelessly I get speeds of around 1.8Mbps.
    The signal from my router is excellent and shows a speed of 54Mbps. So my question is, SHOULD my wireless router be giving me better speeds, and what, if anything, can I do it help it?
    I have my router set to G only and am using two laptops, a Sony Vaio with wireless G and a Dell laptop also using wireless G.
    Thanks in advance for the help!
    Paul

    It's normal for internet speed to slow down wirelessly. The router attempts to share the broadband connection properly to the 2 laptops. Thefore resulting in a minor slowdown.

  • How fast should I be able to download?

    I have had BT infinity for 2-3 months now, and I never seem to get a download speed of more than 4 megs a second
    It can start at 6 every once in a while, last about 10 seconds and then quickly run down to 3-4 megs and sit there until the d/l is finished.
    According to the BT speedtest my internet is 78mbps down and 20mbps up.
    Anyone able to through the numbers I should be getting in my direction?
    Many thanks

    ATM I cannot even stream a video, yet I can stream is perfectly on my mobile phone. Havn't been very impressed with the servive from BT so far, I requested a call back from an engineer about poor speeds most of the time, and nothing this was 2-3 weeks ago.

  • How fast should FW800 be in this scenario?

    I am copying 778gb from a ProVid Z 1tb Raid drive to an OWC Elite 2tb drive obviously using FW800 and I'm getting about 16mb a sec. Even though I'm copying from drive1 to drive2 on the same channel shouldnt I expect to be closer to 25-40mb per second?
    The total copy time started at 15 hours.
    No other firewire devices connected to FW400 or the 800.
    Any input, suggestions or reading material suggestions greatly appreciated....

    Transfer rates are entirely dependent on the average size of files being transferred. A lot of small files slow down the transfer rate considerably. The 25-40 MB/s you state (closer to 25) would more typically be for files averaging 256 KBs, whereas for what you are transferring the average may be closer to 4 KBs.

  • If watching iplayer how long should my iphone 4 last

    HOw long should Iphone 4 last if watching iplayer ?

    Video playback on a brand new iPhone according to Apple is up to 10 hours (audio up to 40 hrs).  Depending on how old the iPhone is, how many cycles on the battery, how many deep discharge cycles, the temperatures it has been subjected to (especially any lengthy exremes of heat or cold), how bright the sceen setting is, whether streaming over 3G or wifi - all will decrease that ideal number from a bit to a lot.
