How to clear cookies, wireless internet connection very slow

My ethernet speed is very good, but my wireless speed is getting very slow. I wanted to clear my cookies, not sure how to do that and would that help?

Hold down the option key and select the Wi-Fi menu in the menu bar. What values are shown for the following?
          PHY Mode
          Channel
          Security
          Signal/Noise or RSSI
          Transmit (or Tx) Rate
Please do not post the BSSID, as that information is private.
Now hold down the option key again and select
           ▹ System Information... ▹ Network ▹ Wi-Fi
Compare the two-letter Country Code with the ISO code for your country. Does it match? The code X0 means that the country couldn't be determined. The code X3 means South America, not otherwise specified.

Wireless Internet connection very slow

The wireless connection has gotten very slow. I have restarted the modem but that has not improved the connection. I am about to restart the TC and see if that improves the connection. What is the best way to shut the TC down and restart it? The only way I know is to unplug for 15 seconds and then put the plug back in.
Thanks

Try the following ...
o Power-down the modem, Time Capsule (TC), and computer(s); wait at least 10-15 minutes. Order is not critical.
o Power-on the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
o Plug-in the TC; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s).

Adobe Photoshop CC2014 internet connection very slow

Hi,
I'm developing an Adobe Photoshop HTML5 (website) extension. This is working fine in Photoshop CC, but is very slow in CC2014.
Today I've installed an update for Photoshop CC2014 and I was presented with an 'introduction' screen, loaded from the web.
This had the same slowness, indicating my extension is not at fault.
The regular functionality of Photoshop has a normal speed, and I'm working on a recent computer with Win 7 64bit.
I've recorded a video showing how slow it really is (and proof that my internet connection has sufficient speed)
http://videobam.com/gmNun
How can I solve this?
Thanks!
Sam

Just checked, same problem for other users

Local mac-to-mac transfers goes through the internet connection (very slow)

Transfering files from my iMac to my MacBook Air (or the opposite way) over my local Time Capsule wireless network is extremely slow. I connect to my MacBook Air using my local username account on that machine (which is the same as on the iMac). When I click on the connected MacBook Air again (under shared in Finder’s left column) it says I'm connected as [email protected] (my MobileMe address). Transfers then goes with around 50KB/s which is the same as my outbound capacity on my internet connection. If I disconnect the internet from the Time Capsule I get transfers around 2.2MB/s.
I can’t actually log in as a local user on my other local machine. It goes through the internet no matter how I log in. Back To My Mac is even turned off on both machine.
How can I fix this?

You actually are close enough to their 3meg down that you can't complain. 2.8meg down and 700kb up is fine, unless it's supposed to be their FIOS that is.
Sounds like it is the site(s) that are slow, like these boards at times.

Internet Connection very slow WRT160N v3

I had my an IT person install a brand new WRT160N router. I also installed a new HP wireless printer/scanner/fax/printer. I am now noticing that the internet connection is very slow. Taking about 4 minutes to download any link or site I visit. I have talked to charter today and they are telling me my signal strength is great - I have highest speed they offer (20). What am I not doing right? Do i need to check this router or a connection? - Allison

Physical connection should be like from modem to the router on internet port and from computer to the routrer on ethernet port 1.
Try to readjust the wireless settings on your router....
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bit.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...
Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

Wireless N connection very slow

I was running my wireless router at home (internet through Comcast) in mixed mode (b/g/n), and noticed that my S3's download speed when on the wireless seemed very slow. I confirmed this using speedtest.net (the android app) and saw a very big difference between the S3 on the wireless router and my laptop. I tested my wife's laptop and S3 as well, with the same results. (The laptops consistently got 20Mbps down while the S3s both got around 1.8Mpbs down.) The 4g LTE speeds were incredible, but since I'm on a data cap now, I can't use that for the majority of what I want to do with the phone.
After some testing, I found that if I disabled N altogether on my router, our S3s connect and get the same speeds as our laptops. Now my router runs only in 2.4Ghz band, and I have not had a chance to test my N connection on a 5Ghz band. For whatever reason, the Verizon version of the S3 does not have a setting where you can tell the phone what band to connect to, but from what I've read it only connects at 2.4. I'm going to try some more testing to see if this is in fact the case or not.
Anywho, I'm now getting good download speeds connecting in mode G, but I'm kind of bummed that Verizon has (surprise surprise) limited the phone in this way. AT&T and Sprint customers I've talked to are able to connect to Wireless N, and though some of them have problems if the band is set in auto mode, if they specifically choose the band their router is running in, it works just fine. Don't get me wrong, I choose to be with Verizon and generally am happy with the service (losing unlimited data notwithstanding), but I just don't understand why they took away the ability to control the wireless connection in this way. Its doesn't make sense.

First of all, the speeds you are quoting all sound like Mbps (megabits per second) connection speeds, not data throughput speeds. You really need to measure your actual download speed to tell what is actually going on with your system.
Use speedtest.net and test your system. Turn off all other computers except the test computer. Test under the following conditions:
1) connect one computer, by wire, directly to your modem
2) connect the same computer, by wire, directly to your router
3) connect the same computer wireless to your router
4) connect your other computers, wirelessly to the router, one at a time
Also, state the speed that you are paying your ISP for.
Report your download and upload speeds for all of the above tests.
Note that the speed that you are paying for should be about the same as your results from test 1 and 2 above.
After you have done these tests, it will be much easier to tell where the problem is.

Internet connection very slow - ISP blames my computer...

Greetings,
I have DSL connection that has been running very very slow... dialup slow... I use airport, so I unplugged it and connected the ethernet cable directly to the comp - with no results.
I called my ISP, they tested the modem speed, reset the modem & went through all the settings - with no results. The modem speed is fine, so they say the problem is with my powerbook. I've rebooted the computer numerous times, also I recently cleaned up my hard drive (which has been full for months) and I currently have 14gb of free space.
What else can I do? Are there any diagnostic utilities/etc you can recommend?
Thank you in advance for all your help.
powerbook g4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

You actually are close enough to their 3meg down that you can't complain. 2.8meg down and 700kb up is fine, unless it's supposed to be their FIOS that is.
Sounds like it is the site(s) that are slow, like these boards at times.

Since Mountain Lion Upgrade is my Internet connection very slow, Since Mountain Lion Upgrade is my Internet connection very slow

Why is Safari so slow after Mountain Lion upgrade?

I have a home Optimum wifi network with Boost connecting to an Airport, with a second Airport extending, and an Airport Express extending. I have a MacBook Pro, last year's model, two iMacs, a year old each, and an older iMac. (If necessary I can get all the models etc, but I just want to express the problem). The two new iMacs and MBP are running Mountain Lion. The older Lion.
Since upgrading to ML my connection speed both over the wifi and directly connecting to the router has dropped from 30-50 down and 5 up to between 1-4 down and 4 up. I have had the cable folks here to test lines. We've swapped out the modem with a new one. I bought a new netgear N600. Everything led to the same result.
Here's the odd part. When restarting the modem and plugging it directly into the powerbook, initial tests show 30-50 up and 5 down. But once you reconnect to wifi, lose speed, the re-connect directly to the modem the slowness persists directly connected to the modem.
So I start suspecting Mountain Lion. BUT the older iMac cannot be upgraded to Mountain and is still running Lion and has the same issue. The equipment is in the same place it's always been. We've added no electronics that would be interfering with signals.
Everyone is stumped and looking suspicously at the computer and OS. Please help. I'm beginning to hear the bing bong bing bong of dial up in my head.

Extending a wireless internet connection to another part of a building

We have a wrt54g wireless router connected to a quest dsl modem. we now want a wireless internet connection in another part of the building which is out of range of the wrt54g. the two areas are about 200 ft apart and i can run a cat5 cable to new area. Can i install a second wrt54g in the new area and how exactly do i configure it for security and connectivity.
Thanks
Gary

Yes, you can do what you described. You can run cat5 cable if you want, but it will need to be very high quality (i.e. professional grade) cat5 cable installation to make a 200 foot connection. If you are doing this yourself, I would suggest you start with good quality cat5e cable for such a long run. And make sure the cat5e connection works before you string the cable.
You will also need to convert the second router to a WAP (wireless access point), by making a few simple setting changes.
For instructions on setting up your system, see my post at:

ITunes 8.1 works great but killed wireless internet connection

I installed version 8.1 on both my laptop( PowerBook g4/ OS 10.4.11) and desktop (imac intel / OS 10.5) and after restarting the computer, the wireless internet connection stopped working on both.
I would open Safari and it would be a blank page and and the circle would keep spinning.
So I tried my laptop at a different wireless hotspot and had the same result.
I then tried repairing permissions and I got a list of problems with iTunes/Network Utilities, they repaired and now when I open Safari I get the message that it can not connect to the internet.
I do get an internet connection using ethernet on both.
Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Did you by any chance also update the firmware on your Apple Airport Extreme (if that's what you have)?
I thought 8.1 killed my connection to my Apple TV, but it was the faulty firmware (see reports elsewhere in these forums).
Now that I have rolled back from 7.4.1 on my Airport I plan to try iTunes again (with white knuckles).

Setting up a Wireless Internet Connection on Solaris 10

I am new to the whole Solaris/unix world and I was just wondering how to set up a wireless internet connection with a solaris 10 machine. I have a linksys router hooked up to a cable modem and a linksys receiver hooked up via USB on the solaris machine. I would greatly appreciate any help anyone can give me.

Was the router supplied by the ISP or was it bought separately? Are you able to get online when connecting the Mac directly to the router via an ethernet cable? Either way it's best to check the router settings to ensure they are correct.
I’ve not come across the Zoom routers. Setup should be straight forward though, having gone to their website and downloaded the manual. Do the following:
1. Plug one end of the RJ-11 cable (included in the box) to the router, the other end to your phone line via the micro-filter.
2. Plug one end of the ethernet cable (again included in the box) to the appropriate port in the router, the other end to your Mac.
3. Plug in the power cord and switch on
4. Fire up your web browser on your Mac (Safari, Camino, Firefox etc)
5. In the address bar of the web browser type 10.0.0.2 and hit the Return button
6. A Network Password box will appear. This is to gain access to the router itself. The defaults are, Username = admin, Password = zoomadsl
7. You’ll now enter the Basic Setup screen. It’s here where you enter the username and password supplied by your ISP. This is NOT your email username/password but your Internet access ones. If you are not sure or don't have them, call your ISP.
8. Click Save Changes and then click Write Settings to Flash and Reboot. Once the router has reset itself and the Link light comes on and remains steady, you’re online.
That’s it. Job done
If you still cannot get access it may be worth resetting the router (there should be a small button in the back which requires the use of a pen or pencil to press) re-entering your ISP information as described above and trying again.
Let me know how you get on.

Why do i get a "no service" message when I am around a wireless internet connection

I am again suffering from "no service" on my iphone and again, I'm in a very well connected area so I should not get this message again.

"Wireless internet connection" - i.e. Wi-Fi - is not the same as cellular network connection. You see ""No Service" when the cellular network from your carrier is not available in your location (indoors in particular).

Wireless internet connection is poor, wireless internet connection is poor

Hi..
I just purchase an iMac desktop and dont know much on how to use them. A couple of questions: when i set up the comp, it suggested that i could transfer my data from another computer to this. I clicked yes, followed the promts. It loaded for 4 hours then said it was succsefull. Both on my imac and my laptop. However, i cant find any of my information, photos, documents etc??
Second question is: My wireless internet connection seems to be quite poor? Its slower than what is was on my laptop. I went to apple store, went to poor wirelss conection they wanted my serial number so i did that and it just had the loading symbol for aagggeess and nothing happened? ive tried to call Mac support, it said thats is currently closed but didnt say when they open.
Any help will be appreciated!
