IPad 1 WIFI speed issues
I'm having some great difficulty with my original iPad connection to wifi. I have a long ranch style house with an access point at each end of the house. On one end is an Apple Airport Extreme and at the other end is an Apple Airport Express. They are set up to be separate networks with different names. When my iPad connects with the Express, the speeds are quite good. I can download and view YouTube videos very nicely with no interruptions due to download speeds. The Extreme, however, is a totally different story. I get such slow speeds that the YouTube application tells me that the videos are not in a format it can display. Or, at best, it takes hours to download. I try to view them and it runs for about 10 seconds until it reaches the end of the stream and waits, again sometimes for hours to finish.
The express is a 2.4 GHz 802.11 G and the Extreme is a Gen 4 with 2.4 and 5 GHz N model. It doesn't matter whether I connect to the Extreme's 2.4 or 5 GHZ connection, the speed is miserable. But the Express is great. I use a separate router. Since both access points go through the same router, it cannot be the problem. I've looked at every setting I can think of with no results. I've reviewed much of the existing discussions on this subject with no clear direction. Any ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks for the suggestion, but using the 5 GHz freq. would eliminate that as a problem. I get no difference with either freq.

HT5642 WiFi speed issues with iPhone 4S since the update
Since the update the WiFi on the iPhone is terrible. I run a 50mb speed and barley get 2mb. My iPad is getting 39mb speed. Is there a problem with this update for the iPhone that affects WiFi speed?
I am having the same issue since updating to iOS 6. It has been noticeable on my iPhone 4S and a little less noticeable on my iPad 3 but I think it is happening on the iPad too. Very annoying problem. One way to get it to work better is to re-boot your phone. It will work for awhile then and then eventually not be working anymore and you will need to re-boot again.
Just to be clear with everyone - the iPhone looks like it is connected to the wireless, it gets an IP address but can't transmit any data. Device: iPhone 4S, OS: iOS6 -
I can connect my new iPad to my wiFi router (Actiontec) but after several minutes connection is lost. I need to re-sign in. I worked with Verizon to reset router per Apple instructions (kb/T53304) but nothing helped. Switching from WEP to WPA or WPA2 was useless. Apple folks, please develop a fix!
Same for me, 10-15 mins. Sometimes I have to try/dismiss and try up to 5 times, sometimes, the connection comes back after 1 try. Many times I am asked for the WEP key, over and over. This is great since I learned to copy/paste
I really love the iPad ... but I don't understand why this this continues to happen and has not been fixed ... I paid lots of $$$ for this device and frankly, it does not work as advertised.
I work at home, have three laptops, all using WiFi without fail. Verizon Fios is the carrier (unreal speed). The iPad even loses the connection 1 foot from the router. It's never more than 10 feet from the router.
I really don't understand where the outrage is ... I guess it makes little difference to be outraged, but had this been an IBM product, there would be lawsuits, press as much as the oilspill, and general derision of IBM all over the place, but since it's apple, I guess it's like calling the Pope or Dalai Lama a A$$hol&.
Very sad.
PLEASE APPLE, fix the problem. The problem is not my network or it's settings, it's in your expensive little device.

How can I get the most Internet speed from my Time Capsule? I have FIOS with 50mps over Ethernet but it slows to 30-36mps over WIFI.
If you check the specs for the Atheros chip it is clearly single stream.
http://www.qca.qualcomm.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/AR9285.pdf
The Apple router is built to Apple's limited 2.4ghz type setup with a Max speed of 130-150mbps on 2 streams.. so 65mbps on single stream is just spot on.
There is nothing you can change to fix it.. at least not in the apple router.
You can plug in a standard 2.4ghz 300mbps router like your old TP-Link and use that as WAP and that will give you higher speed for your PC.
Simply put the router into WAP mode.. or if that is missing use WAN BYPASS (just google for it).. and plug the TP-Link into the TC by ethernet. LAN TO LAN. -
Can anyone give a solution to this wifi speed issue if using a broadband wifi modem,have no issue on my iPhone 4S n iPad 3 for the speed but when do a speed test on my iPhone 5 found the speed is lesser by 50% from the rest of the other devise.Had gone to the apple shop over here in Ipoh perak Malaysia about the issue but found all the iphone5 they had in the shop(4devise including mine) found that all had the same problem .Hope apple support team will look into it and give us n me a solution,just bought devise for 10 days

IPad Air WiFi ultra slow speed issues
Having very bad WiFi streaming and general web page loading with new iPad Air, far slower than iPad Gen 1 (iOS 5) and iPhone (iOS 7).
Speed test results using same speed test app all devices pointed to same Clifton NJ server.
Download speeds:
iPad Air: .26 Mbps
iPhone 5: 12 Mbps
iPad 1: 11 Mbps
Mac Pro: 33 Mbps (Ethernet Cat 6 wired) yes I know WiFi is slower, not .26 vs 33 slower
My network:
Motorola SB 6141 Cable modem
All Ethernet wires are Cat 6
D-LINK DIR-655 gigabit router, WiFi should be minimum 100 or 150 Mbps (2.4 only)
Obstructions: very open modern apartment with good physical open shot to router. Bedroom wall vs router. Router is on 45 degree angle 30 feet from devices. Keep in mind that regardless of wall interference, all tests above were done with iDevices in exact same spot from bedroom to test wall interaction.
Result: iPad Air is usually not able to stream anything continuously or in HD ever. Some vid signals are amazingly pixelated to where movie credits are unreadable. So I use my iPad 1 instead for perfect viewing. Something's very wrong.
I assume the router can't differentiate between, however, AppleCare today surmised since I have 2 WiFi devices way out performing the iPad Air, it "may" be it's newer firmware being incompatible with my router, which logically would make sense to account for diff between it and a legacy iPad and modern iPhone.
Some of you online are true network geniuses so I wanted to hear your input for me and others with new iPad Air HD high speed expectations and what configurations to make in Settings and should a new Router be considered 1) because they are faster anyway and 2) if there is an iPad firmware issue with older even still working well routers like the DIR 655.
PS: in comparing configurations between devices, I see the iPad Air under Settings > WiFi > HTTP Proxy > (off, manual or auto)
Is HTTP Proxy an important setting to get max performance. I need to search and read up on it. Setting to Auto did increase dwnld speed from .26 to 9 Mbps.

You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Slow wifi speeds ipad 4th generation
I have a MacBook Pro and an iPhone which are getting the best speeds possible for them. My router is a virgin super hub which I know are notoriously pants but I've tweaked all the settings and got it running fine. Ipad download speeds are never better than 16mb/s and I have a 60mb/s download. Is this a hardware issue or is there something I can do?
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

i bought my 4g iPod touch just 3 months ago fromt the US. Internet speed was just fine and working consistently while i was using a d-link router.
my Wi-Fi network is password protected and since has not affected the speeds on my pc or my iPad (wifi only). However, just 4 weeks ago, i bought a new router, an Aztec one. That has not improved or worsened the speeds on my pc or iPad, but worsens only my iPod touch, even though it says its connected and has a full signal strength.
Here are the symptoms:-
1. iMessage is now really slow as after i click send, the loading bar at the top lags.
2. i can't go on to google or any site or app that involves internet connection e.g. Facebook, Twitter
3. I can't purchase or get apps from the App store as the searching takes way too long.
4. Now as i pull down the notifications bar, it shows temperature but no stock; i can't even access the Stocks app
5. I can see the temperature for the day on the notifications, but i cant see the details for the rest of the week like i was able to
6. I now cant read any updated emails on Mail as it takes way too long
I live in a country called Brunei, and speeds are the worst there, yet they shouldn't be this slow especialy when my friends and other devices are working.
So, what's wrong? Is it my new router?Have you tried a simple reset of your iPod to see if that helps? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, have you tried any of the troubleshooting mentioned in this Apple support document?

Major iPad 3 WiFi connection issues since 5.1.1 update
Prior to the 5.1.1 update (which ironically was supposed to fix wifi issues), my iPad 3 worked great. Since the update it has been a complete disaster.
Even though it always shows a strong wifi connection, certain apps seem to have no connection while others work fine. Safari usually works ok, although sometimes pictures won't show up - just a small box in the corner. Facebook app always seems to have issues as does Pandora. The biggest problem is the App Store or iTunes which say it cannot connect even though Safari works fine at the same time. Ive tried reconnecting, rebooting, and I even bought a new router since I thought maybe my old one was causing the problem.
Is Apple fessing up to this issue? I have to believe it is a software/firmware issue since before the update everthing worked fine.Can't connect to the iTunes Store

Ipad 3 WiFi connectivity issues
All right.. this might be a two part problem. I was attempting to enable restrictions, and after I entered the passcode twice and tapped "Enable restrictions," it asked me to enter a new passcode again. Without doing much checking, I decided to resort to "Reset All Settings." After doing this, I'm unable to connect to any WiFi networks. I did this while at my in-laws house, and thought perhaps it was something flukey with their router.. however, after returning home, I ran into the same issue.
When I attempt to connect, I get "Incorrect password for "<my network>", and it says "Failed to join "<my network>" at the top of the password entry box. I have two sons with iPads, and I was able to disconnect and reconnect to the wireless network with no issue on theirs. I set up a secure guest network, and was able to log in with my sons' iPads, but not mine. Same issue.. I enter the password, and it comes back with "Incorrect password..."
When I set up an unsecure network, I'm able to join.and use as normal. There must be a settings issue that I'm overlooking somewhere, but I can't seem to find it or figure out how to find it while I search the wasteland of Google search results. Any help would be most appreciated.Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

Wifi Connection issue on iPad 3 when upgraded to iOS 8 onwards
Hi,
I am using iPad 3 from last one year. I didn't faced any issues with old versions of IOS. But after update my iPad OS to 8, I am facing Wifi Connectivity issue. Automatically Disconnecting Wifi when opened third party apps which need internet connectivity. I thought this may fixed in version 8.0.2 but not FIXED. And again I thought it may fixed in version 8.1 but not FIXED. This making too much headache. I want to go back to 7.1.2, Please help me in this issue.

Macbook Pro Retina issues with Wifi Speeds
I have one of the new Macbook Pro 15" Retina models and have been having issues with Wifi Speeds. Apple has replaced the computer but have the same issue with the new one. When doing a side-by-side comparison with older Macbook Pros and PC's I'm seeing around a 10 megabytes per second difference. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?
So an update on what I've found. After testing two different MBP Retna's basically hourly for 4 weeks I found a few interesting things, but ultimately resolved my issue. The first thing I found consistently between both MBP Retina's both on my network and in the Apple store on their network was the first thunderbolt port closes to the screen is slower than if you try to use the LAN cable adapter on the second port. I saw about 10 GBps between the two ports. The second thing i found was these new MBP Retina's aren't really compatible with older Apple networking technology. I have a single band Airport Express and a single band Time Capsule. Using either router they only worked on the 2.4 5Ghz setting and even with that the speeds constantly fluxuated. Most times I got between 2 - 10 GBps. After hours of troubleshooting it was recommended to update either my Time Capsule or Airport Express to one of the newer dual bands, which I did. After purchasing and setting up a new dual band Airport Express and spliting the networks to have one band constantly on the 2.4 5Ghz setting and the other set to automatic both with differing network id's this solved my problem. I now consistently see download speeds of around 35GBps and upload around 6GBps. So connecting the dots and drawing logical conclusion, these new MBP Retinas are really only compatible with newer dual band Time Capsules or Airports. Even though my single band was also set to 2.4 5Ghz, the same as the dedicated network used now on my dual band Airport Express, this MBP Retina had issues maintaining WiFi speeds.

HH5 wifi speed fading issue - any resolution?
Having trawled the forum here, it does seem that there is a recurring techinical problem with wifi speeds slowing over a time period, or drop-outs, that require a re-boot to solve.
It is a wifi issue, not wired or line problems.
It still occurs having unsynced the 5 and 2.4Ghz and given them different SSIDs
And Smart setup is off.
And automatic channel selection is off.
This does seem to be specific hardware issue with the HH5, and others before it.
Has anyone found a succesful route to either get it replaced or get it fixed?sancsell wrote:
I'm also a bit concerned that rebooting/reseting the modem may trigger some automatic speed reduction by BT, thinking it's a fault! Wait, maybe that'll get their attention....!
no it won't - just result in a lower speed until the DLM sees line stable again and increases it which may be a few weeks

Wifi connectivity issues iPad 2.. Any fixes yet?
I have issues keeping a connection to my home network. No, I don't have an airport router (just in case that comes up). My iPad connects, but loses signal strength, even though I'm only a few feet away from the router, and sometimes just disconnects altogether. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a fix yet. I noticed there are quite a few users having similar troubles, but haven't seen anyone actually ask or receive concrete feedback regarding a fix.

Are there any known issues with iPad wifi connections to Comcast routers
I consistently get the "unable to join network " error when trying to connect to my Comcast all in one router. My other laptops and smartphones connect without issue. I'm using 32GB iPad2 with wi-fi + 3G. Coincidentally I switched to comast at the same time I did the 5.1.1 update. Prior to the switch i had a fios router and 5.0 OS version. I've tried resetting the network info on the iPad and I've reset the router as well. I can see the network just cant connect to it.
