I have a slow Internet connection since I included time capsule in my home network.

I did follow some advices and use PPOE to connect.  Set the modem in bridge and TC with PPoe. fast connection still comes and goes. Any suggestions? thank you in advance! 

Did you factory reset.. ie power off.. hold in reset.. power on again.. and keep holding in reset until it flashes rapdily.
Setup the TC in complete network isolation. ie no connection to the rest of the network.
Do it manually with ethernet.
After a factory reset the TC will be at 10.0.1.1 and you can use that.
Plug LAN port TC into the computer.
Leave wireless turned on.
So first thing.. make sure ipv6 is set to link-local in both ethernet and wireless.
After the reset it should look exactly like this.
In airport utility now open the top menu, configure other.
Type in the IP address of the TC.
Then ok.
Go to the base station tab GIve it a new name.
Please use all names that are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. NOT APPLE NAMES..
eg TCgen5
Mavericks in particular works better with these names.
Go to the internet tab and choose dhcp for connection with the modem doing pppoe.
Go to the network tab and choose Off (bridge mode).
Go to the wireless tab and create a wireless network.
eg TC24ghz and set under wireless options, TC5ghz
You can now update the TC and plug it back into the modem. Plug it by ethernet to the computer. (or use wireless as a second best).

  • Share internet connection through iMac with Time Capsule

    I have a scenario at work where I need to temporarily set another router as the DHCP server. I have a customer who has a typical office setup. They have an iMac which is plugged into a time capsule (TC). A network printer is also plugged into the same time capsule. I have had to move the WAN modem to where the wifi router is located in another room. The office needs to be able to connect to the new WIFI network while still having the network printer work. If I setup TC to "join another network" and put into bridge mode, I can no longer communicate with network printer. Can I choose "share internet" in OSX system preferences> Sharing on iMac, connect wirelessly through iMac and have TC function as a simple network switch somehow while being able to communicate with printer.
    Thanks

    First, before I get into too much detail: Is it even possible to set up a WPA2 network directly from the iMac without a separate router?
    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    Despite the fact that WPA2 encryption has existed for years, Apple hasn't seen fit to include that option in its "Internet sharing" feature.

  • I have a slow internet connection after the last update

    Hello Every one,
    I am facing a weird issue in  my mac...
    The internet connection is very very slow .. can you imagine that I wait a while to open google ??!!!!!
    this problem has started after installing the latest JAVA update..
    I cannot browse .. my internet Speed is 40MBS..
    even the wifi is disconecting from while to while in my MAc ...
    what to do ?!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I've started hating my mac..

    Same problem here.  After installing the latest Java update from Apple (and also after disabling both Java in Safari and the Java plug-in in Firefox) in the past 2 days browsing the internet has become a veritable problem with download speeds practically at a crawl.  I am on a MacBook Pro running on 10.7.3.    What is going on?

  • Connecting Mac Pro to Time Capsule to get wireless network!

    My brother just bought for me the newest Mac Pro with MAC OS 10.6 and already have a TIme Capsule. At the Apple Store they told him that there was no need for him to buy a AirPort Extreme Wi-Fi Card, because I already have Time Capsule and through it I could connect my Mac Pro to my wireless network at home. Is this right?
    The router of the internet is located at my living room and the time capsule is at my bedroom. What I'm trying to say is... Can I use the Time Capsule as a AirPort Extreme Wi-Fi Card for my Mac Pro?
    I'll wait anxiously for an answer.

    You seem a little confused. The Mac Pro must have a wireless card installed inside and connected properly. Then you can wirelessly connect to that Time Capsule.
    If you do not have the card installed inside that Mac Pro then figure a way to run fast cat ethernet cable to the Time Capsule.

  • Can't connect 2TB Time Capsule to my home network

    I can't seem to get my new 2TB Time Capsule to show up in Airport Utility on my MacBook Pro. I started out trying to connect wirelessly, then with an Ethernet cable directly between the Time Capsule and my MacBook. Still, the new device does not appear in Airport Utility.
    Airport Utility sees a device called "Jeff's iTunes Time Capsule," which I presume refers to my neighbor Jeff's equipment. But then it occurred to me that, if I'm not connected to a wireless network, how can my MacBook "see" my neighbor's stuff? The package did not appear to have been opened, although the power and Ethernet cables were unwrapped when I first took the device out of the box. The status light keeps flashing amber, by the way.
    I clicked on this "Jeff's iTunes Time Capsule" just to see what would happen. I was prompted for a password, which of course I don't have. Any thoughts?

    Thanks, James. Turns out, I was right: Someone (Jeff?) had bought this machine, installed it, and returned it to the store. It was my dumb luck to choose this item from the many others sitting on the store shelf. Anyway, I called Apple Support. A tech named Joy walked me through a factory reset to get rid of the mysterious Jeff. Then I saw the dreaded message, "Hard drive needs repair." Apple then sent me a new TC. They shipped it out late Friday, and it arrived Monday! (I'm impressed!) I installed it and returned the defective machine. Now, my network works better than ever, and I really like my Time Machine. I give a special two thumbs up to Apple support and Joy!

  • Very Slow Internet Connection and Backups

    I have had a Time Capsule for some time now (1st generation) and it has caused nothing but headaches. I have put up with it for some time but I have a very slow internet connection and cannot leave Time Machine on or it bogs down my machine, so I only backup periodically. Specifics are provided below.
    I have a poor internet connection to begin with. When plugged in directly either to my modem or through Ethernet to the Time Capsule, I get download speeds of ~ 2.9 Mbits/sec download, 0.7 Mbits/sec upload. When connected over wireless, the speeds drop to about 0.6 Mbits/sec download, 0.6 Mbits/sec upload. I feel like I am working on dial-up. I have both a Mac and a PC, and speeds are the same on both, so it does not appear to be a computer issue. I have played with various settings in the Airport, including how connected (b-n or n only), DHCP settings, etc, but nothing makes a difference. Any suggestions?

    Welcome to the discussion area, bigbrianb!
    Have you downloaded a utility like iStumbler to get a look at the signal strength and noise on your wireless network?
    iStumbler will display most of the other wireless networks around you, so you'll have an idea of the competition for unused channels. Ideally, you want your network to be on a channel that is at least 4-5 channels away from any other network to minimize the chances of wireless interference. Is that the case there?
    Your signal strength should be 50% or greater and noise less than 10% for a good quality connection on your network. Is that the case there?
    There are more things to test, but this will get things going.

  • If you have an Airport Extreme router and a slow Internet connection ...

    I know that Internet connection speeds are extremely variable, but I wanted to share this post for anyone having performance problems (very slow Internet connection speeds) while using an Airport Extreme router. This may or may not help you, but it might help someone.
    I have a RoadRunner Turbo account, and I was experiencing consistently slow Internet download speeds (an average of only about 300KB/sec). However, when I bypassed my router and connected my Mac directly to the Time Warner modem my download speeds were 6 to 8 times faster (up to about 2MB/sec).
    After weeks of tinkering and reading Apple documents I discovered that my Airport Extreme router had an improper setting. That setting is found under: Manual Setup -> Internet -> Internet Connection -> Ethernet WAN Port. When I was experiencing the very slow speeds, my Ethernet WAN Port setting was: '100 Mbps/Full Duplex.' To fix the problem I simply changed this to 'Automatic (Default).'
    This one change resulted in a huge, positive performance boost for me. I hope this post helps other people.

  • Im having a very slow internet connection on my macbook pro??help pls

    hi
    i bought a macbook pro back in summer 2012 and it came with mountain lion but since then Im having a very slow Internet connection. I have one router at my home. my other PC works fine with the Internet even my iphone 4s is way faster with same wifi connection. when I download a TV show on macbook from itunes its takes about 40-50 min to download fully but on my phone or PC it usually takes about 18 mins. and also when I try to watch a hd clip on youtube, I need to put on lowest quality in order to watch it without lagging or stopping midway.
    does anyone else have this issue or I have to talk crap about apple product from now on???

    Hold down the option key and select the Wi-Fi menu in the menu bar. What values are shown for the following?

  • Slow internet connection with gigabit ethernet?

    I have a 1Gbps (1000Mbps) internet connection from my ISP, using the internet speed testing service provided by local authorities, my internet download speed is shown to be at least 250Mbps (close to the max limit of the test) when my iMac directly connected to my wall ethernet socket. 
    However, when Mac is connected to the internet through my 2012 Time Capsule (all ethernet and time machine disabled), my internet download speed is slowed to 96-98Mbps.
    I understand that all ethernet ports on the 2012 spec Time Capsule is gigabit ethernet, and I have checked my connection using the network utilities, which confirms that my linkspeed is 1Gbps.  The hardware tab on my Network preferences also shows that my ethernet is set to 1--base T, full-duplex.
    So where did the 60% speed decrease come from?   Is this ~96-98Mbps speed limit a hardware limitation? Or is my time capsule set up incorrectly?
    I understand that similar questions might have been posted in the forum before, but I haven't b thread with the exact issue I described above.   Any help would be appreciated.

    Many thanks for your incredibly detailed reply.  All the information in your solution is correct, and while it did not directly solve my problem, it would have taken my a lot longer to figure out the issue without the information you provided.
    I didn't realize we're missing so many functions in airport utility 6.0.
    Anyways, upon reading your advice, I installed Airport utility 5.6 on mountain lion and checked the link speed settings.    Apparently it was automatically set to 100Mbps when connected to my cable modem.   
    Strangely, if I manually change the link speed to 1000Mbps full duplex, Time Capsule would report an "ethernet unplugged" error along with the consequential "internet connections" and "no DNS servers" error.   Since my ISP has been supporting consumer 1Gbps internet for a few years now, and since I am able to get an over-100Mbps actual link speed with directly connection to my cable modem, I am certain that my cable modem connection supports 1000Mbps local connections.

    You're also correct in that Time Capsule does not have a settings for "half duplex" for 1000Mbps link speed.  But hooking my my mac directly with my cable modem, Mac network preference pane reports that the 1000Mbps connection between my mac and cable modem is full duplex, so my ISP does allow full duplex 1000Mbps connection.
    After NUMEROUS tests, I discovered the problem is down to a FAULTY ETHERNET CABLE, which I did not use for my Mac -> cable modem direct connection.  This was why I was able to get gigabit ethernet speed with a direct connection but not through time capsule!
    I replaced the faulty cable with a new cat-6 ethernet cable and voila! problem solved!
    So here're the test results (using an more up-to-date speed test) before and after I replaced the faulty lan cable:-
    (while I'm at it, I've also thrown in some additional results demoing the wired and wireless throughput of the 4th gen Time Capsule)
    Faulty cable through Time Capsule:-
    New ethernet cable direct connection:-
    Wired connection through Time Capsule:-
    Wireless Connection (wireless-n 5GHz three streem 450Mbps transmit rate) through Time Capsule:-
    I'm a bit surprised that a damaged cable resulted in a lower link speed rather than no connection at all.  
    Also, while the throughput of Time Capsule can't really match the link speed of the direct connection, I'd say it's not shabby at all. 
    Thanks again LaPastenague for your solutions.

  • Slow Internet connected to Windows 2003

    Recently our company changed their server to a Windows 2003 server. Ever since, all the macs running os x have really slow internet access. The PC's are fast. Does anyone have any idea if there are settings on the mac that need to be changed or on the server?
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks

    Hi, please can somebody help. I have a MacBook Pro and i am connecting to a windows 2003 server using microsoft remote desktop connection. I need to print on the printer connected to my mac. How do I get windows to see the printer that is connected to my Mac?
    It looks like you have to have a postscript printer (i.e. a laser printer). I have been trying to solve this problem for some time with no luck so far.

  • Fixed Slow Internet Connection

    Since installing Leopard on day one I have had my Internet connection slowed to just like what has been reported here in these discussion. All was good with Tiger but once Leopard was installed it took a long time for pages to load.
    Calls to my cable company and the purchase of a new router (Dlink) and I was still having issues. Trying to resolve this I stumbled across this procedure that has been working for the past few days. My Internet connection and speed has been back to normal.
    1. Unplug and power off Cable modem.
    2.Connect Mac directly to Cable modem bypassing the router and power back up.
    3. Once Cable modem is up and running go to System Preferences > Network > Advanced Button >
    and press the Renew DHCP Lease.
    4. This gave three IP addresses for my Cable companies DNS Servers along with the Server Domain
    Name. Record these on paper, I had three DNS server IP addresses.
    5. Power off Cable Modem and connect Mac and router back together as you would do normally.
    6. Power up Cable modem and router back up and wait for a few minutes.
    7. Go back to System Preferences > Network > Advanced Button > DNS Tab and add the DNS Server
    IP Addresses (your router IP should be on top of the list already) from the IP addresses you had
    recorded on paper.
    7. If you Cable company DNS Server name does not appear you can add that in the Search Domains

    My iMac internet connection is not faster but as fast as it used to be.  I was using WPA2 and it was really good for a year and then I got disconnected or very slow.  So I created the new network bearing the same old name but use WPA and did not delete the old one, some how everything is back to normal.

  • My 2007 mac pro has a slow internet connection with lion

    Hi:
    I've been dealing with a severely slow internet connection with my 2007 mac pro - dual quad core.  I have os 10.7.3.  I use wifi. 
    Typically, I'll experience difficulty loading websites completely.  Certain sites have a 90% failure rate to load most elements.  Other sites operate quickly from time to time.  Often, a site will simply fail to load at all.  My cable company cannot find anything wrong with my connection and other, newer devices don't have a problem loading sites.  It seems the issue is most likely related to my computer.
    Interestingly, I can usually "jump-start" the connection by turning my wifi connection off and on and this will (temporarily) allow me to get an image or video to download.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you for your time.

  • Windows 7 Ultimate (64-Bit) fresh install, only WLAN and video driver installed but EXTREMELY slow internet connection...

    I recently checked my internet connection on my Asus G53SW and found that it was extremely slow on both the LAN and WLAN connections. I checked with a different laptop (old HP Pavilion) and I get a steady 74mbps+ connection using the same LAN cable and
    also with the WLAN connection. My ISP has checked their side and everything is fine.
    To try and resolve the issue I tried uninstalling, disabling and tweaking various software and even tried safe mode with networking, all to no avail. I then decided to do a complete fresh install this afternoon. I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit)
    successfully onto my SSD and everything went smoothly. I have now only installed Nvidia video drivers and the (only) WLAN driver from the Asus support site.
    My WLAN connection remains incredibly slow (amost half what it is on the HP and my MacBook Pro). Clearly this is an issue with either the Asus laptop or Windows but I don't know how to proceed in order to eliminate which it could be other than to try a different
    o/s to W7-Ult.
    Can anyone help who knows more about this than me? Perhaps someone who has had a similar or the same problem because this is giving me a severe headache!
    Thanks in advance to all and for any advice.

    Thank you for responding. As I stated in my original post the reason I went through this process was because of an extremely slow internet connection from both the WLAN and LAN connections on my G53SW. At that time I had all of the correct drivers on the
    machine. Whilst I would agree that with the machine only having a video and WLAN driver it may well not be working 'optimally', the rationale for doing this was to get the machine working with the minimum of processes to show that it was not anti-virsu software,
    Steam or the like causing interference.
    I have changed out both of the HDDs this evening (a primary SSD and a secondary 1Tb HDD) for a clean hybrid 1Tb Seagate drive. Once I have installed all of the Asus drivers (and nothing else) I will try the speed test again and report back.
    I can now report that with a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 and ONLY Asus drivers as supplied the issue remains. On a connection where I should see around 75mbps I am actually getting around 18mbps, sometimes considerably slower. This only affects
    my Asus machine.
