Internet latency/Network settings

Internet latency on my home network is very high, slowing down my speed. Its working fine in other networks. Is there something I can do in network settings? Thanks

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them; in that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Restart the router and the broadband device, if they're separate. Any change?
Run Software Update and install all available updates for OS X or the computer's firmware. Any change?
If possible, connect to the router with an Ethernet cable and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
Are any other devices on the network, and if so, are they the same?
If you can connect to more than one network, are they all the same?
Are all network applications affected, or only some? If only some, which ones?
Is networking always the same, or is the problem intermittent?
Disconnect all other devices from the network. Any change?
If you're running a MacBook with the lid closed, open the lid. Any difference?
Start up in safe mode and test. Any difference?
Start up in Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. Any difference?
If possible, turn off Bluetooth and disconnect any USB 3 devices. Any difference?

Problem with internet. When i open System preferences, Network, message drops down: 'your network settings have been changed by another application'. I click OK, but it drops a message again and again, preventing me to do anything about the setting.

In the Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ folder delete the following:
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
NetworkInterfaces.plist
preferences.plist

You will have to re-configure all your network settings since deleting.

After connecting to Bluetooth keyboard, iPad 2 will not connect to Internet (wifi) at all. Wifi is ok, have tried turning off bltooth, wifi on iPad. It sees the network but won't connect. Help? Have also reset network settings etc

My iPad wifi was working great until I I connected it by Bluetooth to a keyboard (zagg). It was the first time I'd used Bluetooth
Immediately Internet was dropped on my ipad. My iPhone was and is still connected no prob. And I cannot get the iPad wifi to work again....at all!!!
This is major as I am away from my desktop for three months. Any fix cannot involve being at my desktop with iTunes which is 10,000 km away
So far This is what I've tried based on other discussions-
-turned Bluetooth off and unpaired to keyboard which was also turned off
- turned iPad wifi off and on (several times)
- forgot the network I useArrive Jul 19 depart Aug 25th. Originally it was Sept 9.
-- reset network settings
What happens is that the iPad sees the network and I enter my password. But, instead of getting "check mark" indicating a successful connections it keeps "circling". Sometimes the airport bars will show, but disappear or flicker. It never connects with a check noted in settings. Any attempts to use internet confirm there is no connection
My network is not a cafe or public network. It is one I regularly use here at my family's home where I am visiting
Any ideas!

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

I accidentally changed network settings and now I can't connect to internet

(I posted this on the board for OS X 10.4, but I figured my OS is irrelevant to my problem, so I thought I'd post it here for a better chance of getting help)
I accidentally changed some network settings on one of the computers on my network, and now it wont connect to the internet. All the other computers on the network work fine. I guess I need help getting things back to how they were.
I have absolutely no experience with networks, so I don't have a clue what to do. One thing I notice that might be of help is that when it's set to "Configure: Using DHCP," the section for "Router:" is blank. No address. The router address on all the other computers is 192.168.1.1. Similarly, the IP address on all the computers is some variation of 192.168.1.x, but on the problem computer it's a completely random number (as far as I can tell).
Any help would be EXTREMELY appreciated.
Thanks!

Open Network preferences on the computer, select the connection method, click on the Advanced button. Click on the TCP/IP tab and set the Configure IPv4 drop down menu to DHCP. Click on the Apply button.
BTW, you need to post your questions in the appropriate forum which would have been the appropriate Tiger forum. This is the Snow Leopard forum.

Internet connection not working: don't know how to change network settings

I have a Macbook Pro with an internet connection that normally works fine. However, in my apartment, we are provided with a cable modem that has only one ethernet cable hook-up. Since we needed atleast two ethernet connections for two computers, we bought a switch that we hooked into the cable modem to give us extra ethernet ports.
Recently, while hooking up my ethernet cord to the switch, I have not been able to connect to the internet. Network Diagnostics tells me my Built-in Ethernet is working correctly, but Network Settings are at yellow, and my ISP, Internet and Server have all failed. I have followed all instructions to check my connections, and restart the modem, switch and computer many, many times but there is no problem with any of these things. The other computer connects fine on the switch and cable modem.
Additionally, under Network in System Preferences, I am being shown that there is an IP address and Subnet mask, so I am assuming there is nothing wrong with the cord, modem or switch (which work fine on the other computer), but there is no Router number, which seems odd. If it helps narrow things down, I am also trying to connect to the internet via DHCP rather than PPPoE, which is what I normally use.
I am guessing I must have accidentally changed something to do with my network settings and it is not adapting to the cable modem any longer. Unfortunately, I do not know how to do this, nor what to change it to if I had to. My landlady knows nothing about what kind of network settings I need to connect to the internet service provider. Other than calling Time Warner Cable (who provides the cable modem with ethernet hook-up)is there anything else I can do or should be considering in order to get my internet connection working?

I am having this problem if you find a fix please let me know. I have spent hours with apple trying to fix this. Im going on my third week with apple trying to fix this and i have a thread on this issue.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Resetting Network Settings? Can't connect at free internet cafe

I'm having issues connecting to wifi at a free internet cafe. When I start up Firefox, it should go to a logon page where you enter some info like age, location, etc, and after you fill this out you are connected to the free wifi and can browse freely.
When I launch firefox it just sits there trying to connect to my homepage with no success. I have another laptop (non mac) and it connects straight away to this logon page.
I don't know if I messed around with the network settings but is there a way to reset them to default factory settings? The reason I ask is because I have another "test" login account on my Mac OS X and when I launch firefox it goes straight to this logon page, where as my normal account doesn't.
I'm wondering, could it also have something to do with my homepage?
Thanks.

Hi! It's been a while but here's the latest update on the case.
(And yeah,I've been struggling until today to find a solution...Danny's personal advice: don't move to Italy if you don't wanna get lost in a Customer Service nightmare...)
Anyhow, it turned out to be as simple as this:
1) Create a location dedicated to the home network.
2) Insert PPPoE user name and password given by ISP.
3) Connect.
4) Browse wirelessly.
...I feel a little dumb overlooking this option....but, I still have some doubts reg the procedure.
Why did I have to create a dedicated location?
Why do I have to use PPPoE rather than DHCP?
Thanks mate,

I reset my iPhone 4 Network settings to fix the push notification problem, but I lost my internet connection. How do I fix it?

I tried to solve the "connect to iTunes to receive push notifications"-problem by resetting my network settings, but it only caused me to lose my internet connection when using 3G. Now I can't do anything with this stupid phone. How do I fix it? I don't want to reset anything anymore, I'm sick of this new iOs update, it seriously messed up my phone and I can't do anything properly anymore. Any help?
And btw, I would also like to get the push notifications back on. Connecting to iTunes did absolutely nothing. Resetting the network settings only made my situation worse. Help please!

Hi there Julia,
Ahh The iPhone isn't "stupid" it's been called "stupid" because you are frustrated at the situation , but try
Load iTunes. Backup your phone. Make sure it is backed up !! Run restore. This will get rid of the error! And please what ever you do , do not skip the back up!
Thanks,

Is there any reason that my lock keeps unlocking in my network settings? Is there any way to keep it locked? It sure is inconvenient when I have to reboot to get back on the internet and re-lock that lock.

You could try changing the settings in System Preferences/Security & Privacy/General/Advanced/Require an Administator password to access locked preferences
But this will affect all Preference settings.

If you go to System Preferences (under the Apple menu) and select the Network pane, then select the interface you want to use (probably Wi-Fi or AirPort if you are wireless, or Ethernet if not.) If using a static IP address you can set your router address here. If you are using DHCP, it is not needed, since the computer will pick it up automatically.
Best of luck.

No Internet - Cant change Advanced Network Settings

Since today some of the programs on my Mac Book Pro cant reach the internet (e.g. mail, safari) - some work (skype).
(I think this might be a corrupt port:80 configuration.)
I cant change or deleted any configurations in the advanced network settings. Every time I delete a network or change something else an click on "Apply" - its the old settings again.
Any suggestions?

Hello Yobu & welcome to the forums.
Make sure that Skype/Growl are the most newest versions that are fully Snow Leopard compatible.
Try resetting some of the hardware involved (PRAM~NVRAM). See this Apple KB for details, etc.:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
Can't hurt to try, and apparently this has helped others recently.
As well, have you done due diligence on the basics.... confirm sufficient free space on the HD; validate disk health via DiskFirst Aid, never install SL from downloaded torrents/betas, etc. Let Spotlight finish indexing; clear out old cache files and outdated/broken/duplicate fonts; find and delete related plists.

Hello dthlah,
Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like your Wi-Fi option on an iPhone 4S is greyed out. The following article explains this issue and potential resolution:
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
1. Verify that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
2. Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings
3. Ensure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
4. If your issue is still unresolved, perform a software restore in iTunes.
If you are still unable to turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Restore Network Settings/Can't Access Internet?

Hello. Really hoping someone can help me out here. Long story short: I had accountability software on my computer and it didn't seem to be functioning properly, so I tried troubleshooting it myself. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with it so I decided to try installing it again. In my haste, I (foolishly?) deleted the program from my hard drive without first uninstalling it. Now it seems to have placed a stranglehold on my ability to access the Internet: every webpage comes up with either "this webpage is not available" or "this website has been blocked by [accountability software]."
What do I do? I've tried running diagnostics and checking my network settings and everything *appears* in order (but I am a novice at some of the more advanced troubleshooting stuff), and I even attempted a command+r reboot last night in the hopes that it would somehow wipe any traces of this program from my computer. Alas, nothing.
Is there anything else I'm forgetting? Honestly what can I do to just get rid of this program and regain Internet access?

Are you able to access the internet while started in Safe Mode ?.
If so, download the uninstaller; or reinstall & use the built-in one, if that's what the developer says is required. There may also be manual removal instructions online somewhere.
