Imessage slow on wifi

Ever since I'm on iOS5 I'm experiencing a delay in sending messages through imessage (don't know about receiving).
It's weird though, because on 3G it works instantly and when I'm on Wifi it just seems to take longer for a simple textmessage to send.
I have an Apple Airport Extreme + 60mbit cable internetconnection and I am not experiencing any other delay on the network. All other devices are working fine.
Whatsapp via Wifi sends the message/photo/video normally but through imessage it takes ages
I have an iphone 4 and I'm running the latest firmware (no jailbreak or whatsoever)
Any thoughts? I can't seem to find the cause.

My iPhone 4 is doing the same thing, it did not start all that long ago. most of the time now I have to go to airplane mode and back to fix it.

  • IMessage slows entire home network when sending images?

    Does anyone have a CLUE why a picture sent through iMessage when on WiFi would slow down my internet connection accross my whole home network? For example run a ping test and I get normal 25ms pings to google.com > send picture on iPhone on WiFi > ping jumps to 300+... AGAIN THIS IS A PICTURE NOT A HUGE VIDEO.........
    Sidenote: before you say its my router, this issue was present on my old router. I will take a look at any suggestions but highly doubt that its a router issue.
    Phone: iPhone 5 White
    Carrier: AT&T
    ISP: Wide Open West
    Bandwith: 15mbs down | 1mbs up

    That's pretty common in the US. It's the ISP's being cheap, basically. They assume that home users have no need to upload large quantities of data, just download. And 90+% of the time, that's true. Unfortunately, it's easy to overwhelm a 1 Mbps uplink. If it only lasts a few seconds, it's not a big deal.
    It doesn't matter how large the files are. The only thing that matters is whether you saturate the connection. Things like facetime are self limiting. They only generate data so fast. File uploads, on the other hand, will cram as much as they can fit up the pipe.

  • MBA - slow internet/wifi then photo stream is enabled

    I have problem with very slow internet /wifi connection when photo stream is enabled. I run some test. I'm conecting MBA to internet by WIFI network. When photo stream is enabled, ping reply time to my router is around 1000ms - 2000ms. When I turn off photo stream, ping reply time is around 1ms, and internet works fast. I've tested MBA with difrent access point and there is the same problem. I have 2.5GB of photos on iCloud.
    What can I do to fix this?

    Photo Stream uses a lot of bandwidth. The fix is to disable it.

  • Lumia 920 Facebook connection very slow over WiFi ...

    Since the Portico update the connection to Facebook both in the People and Me hub as well as in the Facebook app is very slow over WiFi, whilst still good over 4G/LTE (with WiFi off). The connection to the Nokia account also appears to have a similar problem. All other accounts and apps have good speed over both cellular and WiFi connections.
    Any ideas anybody?
    PS: FYI, a bit more info about the history and context: When I noticed the problem the first time after the update, I tried to solve it by deleting and re-adding my Facebook account on the phone. Unfortunately, that made me lose my Me hub tile, so I decided to do a full reset. That again unfortunately got stuck on the togg wheels, so I restored the phone using Nokia Care Suite with the latest firmware, and restored my accounts, apps and settings from scratch. Everythings seems to work fine now, except the above mentioned Facebook and Nokia account connectivity problem.

    Did you somehow solve this problem?
    I have the same issue here with my Lumia 920.
    However I have already found out that it only applies to my home Wifi. All other Wifi networks i was connecting to did work flawlesly.
    I need to note that all other devices on my home network are using facebook without a glitch. Only Lumia has some problems with it.

    On your MIL's device go to Settings>Messages> Send and Receive and delete the email address you are calling. Add her own email address if she wants to use Messages and here own is not listed.

  • Does texting on imessage through free wifi charge you if you don't have a text messaging or data plan?

    Ok so I just got a new iphone 4s that's factory unlocked & I was wondering if you texted someone through imessage on wifi, will that charge you any money?
    If the person doesn't have imessage? And if they do? Because I don't have a text messaging or data plan.

    But what if I don't use the data plan for imessage and use wifi instead?
    If you are using wifi, you are not using a data plan. You will not be charged.
    And you cannot send SMS over wifi. You can only send iMessages (to people with Macs/iDevices and iMessage enabled).
    I was wondering if you texted someone through imessage on wifi, will that charge you any money?
    Messages is the app.
    iMessage is type of message that goes over wifi or cell data.
    Open the Messages app and add a phone number or appleID, the line to enter you message will display Text Message (and a green Send button) or iMessage (and a blue Send button).
    If it's a text message (green) it will be sent as SMS and you will be charged, even if you are on wifi.
    If it's an iMessage (blue) and you are on wifi, it will be sent over wifi (no charge).
    If it's an iMessage (blue) and you are NOT on wifi, it will be sent over cell data or sent as an SMS.

  • Is it possible to use imessage only in wifi and sms when no wifi is available?

    is it possible to use imessage only in wifi and sms when no wifi is available? I have unlimited texting but only 200mb of data. I know how to turn i messaging on/off manually but is there away to set it so it does it automatically?

    The only option you have is to turn off cellular data completely. You are correct, there is no setting for cellular data for messages. If you toggle iMessage off/on multiple times, you will end up with problems, since others will not know if you have iMessage off/on, and will continue to try to send iMessages to you. Also, you may find you will have problems with iMessage activating again after turning it off. iMessages do not use very much data, but if you are using data for other reasons, that could use up the limited pool of data you mentioned

  • Since iOS6, whenever I send an iMessage to my wife, it sends the message to me too.  How do I stop this? My wife and I share the same email address.

    Since iOS6, whenever I send an iMessage to my wife, it sends the message to me too.  How do I stop this? My wife and I share the same email address.

    On at least one of the phones, go to Settings/ Messages/ Send & Receive and then tap the e-mail address to turn that option off.  That should force the iMessage to be sent to the unique phone numbers of the phones, not the e-mail address that is common between the phones.
    Or alternatively, create a new e-mail address for one of you and select that as the e-mail option to receive at on one of the phones instead of the shared e-mail.

  • DO PUSH NOTIFICATION SLOW DOWN WIFI OR 4G CONNECTIONS?

    DO PUSH NOTIFICATION SLOW DOWN WIFI OR 4G CONNECTIONS?

    I have a 3Gs and I've tried everything. I even restored as new phone and the issue continues. It has to do with the Wifi antenna and the bluetooth antenna, I believe they are both the same. I get intermittent wifi at home, work and other hotspots. I also get static on my bluetooth earpiece. I have to hold the phone within 6 inches of my ear for the static to go away. If I take the phone off of headset during that call, the phone is crystal clear. I have done the forget this device. I've done the turn off iPhone and turn off router at home, star the router up and wait, then turn iphone back on. Same issues continue. It has to do with the software. I'm not sure how they power the antenna, but maybe the software update 4.3.3 has effected it.

  • Very slow internet (Wifi) on my mac mini late 2012

    Hey, I have recently experienced very slow internet (Wifi) on my mac mini late 2012. On other mac's and computers the internet is working well. I cannot change the channel of the router (what I found out to be the only solution here), because I live in dormitory. Should I try to restore OS? What would be other possibilities? Is it OS or mac mini issue?

    If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.

    Nope, Cat5e is certified at 1000Mb/s. And the wireless will not even be close to that.

  • Why my iPhone 6 is slow on wifi? The 5s is good with iOS 7 the same wifi but it's so slow

    TThe iPhone 6 works really slow on wifi
    on the same wifi my iPhone 5s iOS 7 works fine please guide me

    I have iOS 8.0.2 running on all my devices. Two iPhone 5s', an iPad Air, an iPhone 6 and an iphone 6+. Both iphone 6's have virtually no wifi connectivity. The older devices are working fine on the same iOS version. When performing a speed test on both iPhone 6's, the speed goes from 20Mbps to 0Mbps for a few seconds then spikes upwards of 20Mbps again, on both upload and download. When the test is complete it averages the speeds and is around 3Mbps. The other devices on the same network average around 19Mbps.  Again this is only happening on the iPhone 6 and 6+. The iPhone 5s and iPad Air running on iOS 8.0.2 have perfect connections. I have not seen a battery issue on any devices, like some people have been dealing with. I have attempted forgetting the network, powering down and through both iOS updates nothing seems to help.

  • IMessage Slow

    I noticed probably a week or two or so on Twitter people were complaining about iMessage being incredibly slow and having other probs, and I've had friends and fam with similar probs, so I know I'm not the only one with these probs. I'm still having them, tho. If I try to send out an iMessage, it is very... very slow, takes, like, minutes to send, and at times won't even send. If I send a reg. text, it'll send immediately. I've restarted my phone several times to no avail.
    Suggestions or anything would be helpful. Oh yeah, I've also reset my network settings... that didn't work either. I have an iPhone 5.

    I'm having a similar problem with my iPhone 5. When I'm having EDGE only it sometimes takes a minute until the iMessage is being sent. With 3G or WiFi it works fine at 99,9% of the cases but in EDGE it is horrible to use iMessage. With my iPhone 4 I never had problems with it...

  • IMessage connected to wifi doesn't work for iPhone and ipad

    My ipad and iPhone worked great with iMessage on wifi until one week ago. As far as I'm aware nothing has changed. So, I'm not sure what happened. I've checked for updates on both devices and on iMessage and everything is currently updated to the latest version.
    On both devices, I have tried turning iMessage off and on and I've confirmed I have both a phone number and email to send and receive messages. I have tried to reset all network settings as well as the hard reboot. I have also logged out and into my iMessage ID and Apple ID. Nothing seems to work.
    The thing I find very strange us that started happening with both devices at the same time. So, I confirmed that my wifi signal is fine as well as trying wifi signals in other locations. I am still having the same problem. Can anyone help?
