IMac connects to network but internet connection really slow.

HI all
I have a Belkin F5D9630-4 router and have WPA security on it. The mac can connect to the network but when i try and surf the web the connection is really slow and most of the time just times out.
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem would be great.

Hi macman3000!
Try using WPA2-Personal instead of WAP. You must access your router through it's main web page in order to make this changes. Make sure you change your security parameters in your Mac also to WPA2-Personal.
I have a Belkin F5D7230-4 and after a long way making it able to connect wireless to my iMac, I had to change the security parameter to WPA2-Personal because of the same problem you have.

  • I cannot get my iMac with built-in airport to allow internet connections to Nook and PS3. The devices access the network, but internet connection fails. Internet sharing is enabled, network security (WEP, WPA) is completely off.  What to check next?

    I cannot get my iMac with built-in airport wi-fi to allow internet connections to Nook and PS3. The devices access the network, but internet connection fails. Internet sharing is enabled, network security (WEP, WPA) is disabled.  What to check next?

    On an additional note, I've purchased a wireless router and everything connected on the first attempt.  It just vexes me that the built-in wireless isn't working as a router.  Is this another example of "Mac only plays with Mac"?

  • Mac is connected to network but internet still won't work?

    before chirstmas my internet was working perfectly fine, but it went down, like none of the familys laptops worked, the ipad didn't, none of the ipods, my mac or my iphone, since it was chirstmas we couldn't ring up to get it fixed.. however just after new year the router seemed just fine everything started working again expect for my mac, it says i'm connected to my wireless network but i can't access the internet, i've tried restarted my router countless times, it does nothing, i've tried to delete my network, i've tried deleting airport, nothing has worked.
    fed up of having to hopspot with my iPhone it's costing me a bomb, as i'm a graphic design student at uni i need the internet:/

    Run /System/Library/CoreServices/Network Diagnostics (this is the program that gets offered to you when you try to connect to a web site in Safari when you are not connected to the internet.  It's really hard to find -- seems to be invisible to spotlight -- so if you get it to launch from Safari you should save it in your dock.)
    What you will probably see is that the first couple of lights are green (which is why it says you are "connected" to the wireless -- you are) and then the bottom 2 or 3 lights are yellow or red.
    Follow the troubleshooting instructions in NetworkDiagnotics and you may just get things to work.
    What I suspect is that you have no DNS, because your router isn't handing out DNS.  To simply bypass that problem, go into your network preferences and hit the "Advanced" button and then the DNS tab, and add a manual DNS server.  If your ISP has given you the address of a DNS server, use that one.  Otherwise use 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 -- those are google's DNS servers.

  • Wireless conection is perfect but internet is really slow

     Hello! 
          In 2014 November I got this computer in Florida. I got it as a present for my son. He was not with me that time in America. I opened the computer everything was working pretty good. But I did not checked the wifi and internet. When I came back to my hometown, I live in Georgia,Tbilisi, my son told me that wifi connection is perfect but the speed is very low. Even sometimes the network is not appearing. I do not know what to do. I can not return this computer because I live in Georgia. Can you help me with it? Because I tried to reinstall all drivers and also I refreshed my windows. Nothing helps. 
        Thanks! Victor!

    What kinda wifi are you connecting to? If they have slow speed there your not going to speed up internet unless whom your getting wifi from upgrades their network speed. Also since you bought it in Florida the warranty is void unless it sent back to US for repairs or service. And if you didn't buy International Warranty there isn't much support you can get for the laptop.

  • Connected to network but no connectivity- need help

    The Iphone shows network connectivity (bars on left) but when some one calls me the phone appears to be ringing to them but there is no ring on my side.  If I try to call someone the call just hangs and when I "end call" it goes to the home screen and when i go to the dialpad the old call is still "dialling".  I am not able to use the phone service at all.
    The previous time it occured I just reset the Iphone using Itunes and in the process lost all the data but the phone recovered.  can some one help me with this?
    By the way this problem occured after i changed the OS to 5.

    If you look at wifi settings what IP address has been assigned to the iPad? If it starts with 169 then the iPad never successfully connected to the router. What security setting are you using? Some say WPA2 works best. You can also search the ipad wifi forum for similar problems since this problem comes up at least one a day.

  • When I connect imac to network via airport all devices on the network lose internet connectivity

    Every device stays connected to the network but the internet stops working. Usually the network will continue to function normally for about five minutes when the imac connects, but then every device loses internet access via the network, NOT just the imac. As soon as I turn off the imac's airport they get internet connectivity back. A wired network connection to the imac seems to work OK.
    The airport is configured as "Using DHCP"
    Mac OS X 10.6.8
    As far as I know, no changes have been made to the computer recently (but it is not my machine and the owner isn't here atm)
    I found one other resource with the same problem here:
    http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/internet-networking-wireless/183185-turning-my- macbook-airport-breaks-internet-connection-entire-network.html
    but the solution didn't work. When I deleted the three files mentioned in the solution in that thread, my problem is not solved.
    If you have any ideas or need more information I would love to hear from you.
    Thanks guys.

    Yes it is possible that the two machines are creating a Computer-to-Computer network and are not going through the Express.

  • Trying to connect to a known internet connection but i keep getting the response "unable to join network"

    Trying to connect to a known internet connection but I keep getting the response "Unable to join network" and the internet is connected, please help.

    Okay now this description was pretty vague but it could be a few things. First thing to try. Turn wifi off and then one again and try to connect. If this fails read on.
    The second step is to select that network in the wifi settings so you get an expanded menu of it. Follow these steps from the home menu on your ipad... SETTINGS>Wi-FI>NETWORK NAME (you have to click the little blue arrow)> FORGET THIS NETWORK. Then turn wifi off and then on. Then try to connect again. If this fails... well read on,
    Okay, so now you really know it's most likely not your ipad, so go on down to your wifi router and turn it off, wait ten seconds, turn it on again. WITH YOUR IPAD OFF. Then turn on your ipad on and then try to connect again. If this fails... Then you'll have to do some more complex things. You could try setting up the network again. IF that fails too. Leave some details about your router, brand, year etc... And I'll try to let you know what else it could be.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

    Hi, KK93. 
    Sometimes a simple power cycle of the router and Mac can resolve the issue.  However, try the steps in the article below to troubleshoot the Wi-Fi issue with your MacBook.

  • Apple TV connects to the network but cannot connect to the internet.

    Apple TV connects to the network but cannot connect to the internet. Works on other Apple TV's we have just not this new one. Defective???  Thank you!

    This might help:
    Apple TV (2nd gen.) saw my wireless network but did not accept my password (gave a network error message). It fixed instantly doing this:
    Made a note of the Apple TV's MAC address. Get it by pressing Menu on the remote, then Settings > General > About. It's called "WiFi address."
    Use your browser on a network connected computer to go to your router settings (usually 192.168.1.1).
    Under "Wireless > Wireless MAC Filter" (or something similar) do these steps:
    Enable Wireless MAC filter
    Enable "Permit PCs listed below to access the wireless network"
    Enter the Apple TV's MAC address
    Click "Save Setting"
    When I did this the network connection immediately started working.

  • All devices on network lose internet connection when Dell laptop connected

    I have successfully setup my AEBS network and am using two wireless clients--HP printer and Xbox access point (both 802.11 G) and a wired iMac that also is connected via Airport (so I can move it around if i want). I tried connecting my Dell Latitude D830 wirelessly and within a few minutes of connecting the AEBS loses internet connectivity. Unplugging and restarting the AEBS restores the internet but it just drops off again in less than 10 minutes. My question is, what might be causing this and what can I do about it? One peculiar thing to me is that I am using the WEP security option since the Xbox doesn't seem to support WAP2. When connecting the Xbox it reports the network as WEP but the HP printer and Dell Laptop but suggested the network was indeed WAP even though I'm clearing using WEP security. Maybe it's nothing but wanted to add for completeness.
    The Dell is running Vista Enterprise edition.
    Thanks for any help.

    I've noticed a similar issue. Any time my HP/Vista laptop is connected to my AEBS it loses the network connection at inconsistant time intervals(~10-15 min).
