IPad (gen 3) wifi download speeds

I recently upgraded my Comcast Internet to 50Mbps download speeds. Using the Speedtest.app I am showing around 30 Mbps on both my iPad (gen 3) and iPhone 4s. I was wondering if anyone has been able to achieve faster download speeds than that on an iPad/iPhone.
I was hoping that it would be faster considering my three year old Mac gets 55 Mpbs when connected via ethernet to the internet and that same Mac using wireless (in same room as wireless router and iPad/iPhone) gets over 50Mbps.
Thanks for sharing.
p.s. I am using an Airport Extreme AC wireless router

From what you've told us, the iPad should see the printer. No, you do not need any additional software on your iPad. You just need to be sure the HP drivers are current.

IPod and iPad Wifi download speed greatly diminished

My iPad4 and IPod Touch 5 download speed is 500KB/s and upload speed is 8Mb/s, whereas my laptop's download speed is 20MB/s. Any suggestions on how to increase my iOs devices WiFi download speed? I have tried changing DNS to the several suggested on the forum to to avail. I am using Speedtest on all three devices. I am on Comcast using their Arris TG862 Gateway.

Jason,
Thanks for the advise,however, no joy.
I followed your instructions to the letter as if I was setting it up for the first time.
My windows laptop, ipad and iPod all get great download and upload speeds when within 6-8 feet of router/modem.
Upon moving all three outside of that range, like 10 feet down the hall, my laptop continues to perform but apple devices slow down to as low as 500kbs down but still have 7Mbs uploading. Prior the start of this situation 3 weeks ago,
I could use my ipad to stream Netflix in the garage on the other side of the house with 3 walls and a metal fire door in between.
I may be paranoid, but it seems like since the law regarding "throttling" passed, my Apple products are affected. When I use SpeedTest on my ipad, the download speed starts out at 10Mb/s then slows down to a crawl. It is like it is saying "Oh, and iOs device, let's slow it down."
This as detailed as I can get. Any further ideas?
I do have a Netgear high speed router that was replaced with the combination device provided by Comcast.
I have read about calling Comcast and requesting to be put into bridge mode. What do you think?
Thanks,
Mark

Slow wifi download speeds on 3gs??

Is anyone else experiencing slow wifi download speeds?? I upgraded from a first gen iPhone to the 3gs & the first thing I noticed was downloading stuff from iTunes, app store, or YouTube, Takes forever!! Example... If I put both of my phones side by side, both connected to wifi, start downloading a 36 mb podcast at the same time, my first gen iPhone will finish the file in about 2 mins and my new 3gs will take anywhere from 8 to 10 mins. Is there a problem with the 3.0 firmware or is the problem just my phone?? Any help would be much appreciated!!

I'v been dealing all day on this issue, I upgraded to the 3GS model and my wife still has the 3g, I don't have the fastest network at my house (1.5 meg) but her phone is coming in about 1021kbps and mine is 241, which seem like a big difference, especially when trying to view youtube, apple store just gave me a new phone, and it still has the same problem. I reset it, restored it, replaced it, and after replacing it I did not restore from backup but still have the same issue. I do access internet via a time capsule for whatever thats worth, and I also checked with tech support about that being the problem and we found that to not be the problem. *****, I paid $300 and committed to AT&T for another 2 years, for internet at a quarter of the speed...

HT4061 Apple air has very low wifi download speed.

Thisis the third time I have tried to get a solution. My wife purchased and IPAD air to replace Ipad. The speed of the wifi is un acceptable. I have tried all the various fixes but none have improved performance. When I compare side by side to my lap top computer Apple speed is 1/5 what I should get, in fact, the Download speed is less than the upload speed. this test was conducted along side the router as well as at other locations with no difference in speed.
I am currently working on 2.5 mhz band dsl with netopia router.
Is there a real solution to this?
Stan

Hello piperstan,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the Wi-Fi speed on your wife's iPad Air. I understand that you have tried some troubleshooting steps already. I found a few steps that I recommend for this issue.
If you have not yet tried these steps, I recommend following the steps below:
Wi-Fi disconnects or signal strength is less than expected
Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
Check for sources of potential interference.
Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings

Crawling Wifi Download Speeds from iTunes Store

Ever since upgrading to iTunes 10.7, my download speeds from the iTunes store have slowed to a crawl. Prior to upgrading, I was able to download video podcasts and other media @ over 10 mbps over wifi. I have tried this on several other networks, and am experiencing the same speed issues. This does not appear to be a router issue or a FiOS issue; I have done all of the usual troubleshooting and do not seem to have any issues with download speeds outside of the iTunes store.
I am running the iTunes 10.7, and have updated OSX to the latest release of ML.
Is anyone else experiencing ridiculously slow download speeds through the iTunes store using iTunes for Mac or iOS 6 devices?

I have a 50x5 Mbit cable business class modem, from Time Warner, in my house (doing that give me priority bandwidth over other residences).... Also as a business class there's no data caps or port blockings. The most I EVER get from the iTunes Store is 4-5MBytes/sec (about 35 Mbits)... Usually I get 1-2 MBytes/sec to iTunes or any device
My guesses are
1) Apple just doesn't have the bandwidth during certain times
2) I notice they throttle accounts. If I download an entire hd season, I start out fast, then it slows after a few hrs... Im guessing apple has a max data cap per day then slows you down.
3) I also don't think Apple is capable of handling all the new 35-50Mbit connections that are now readily available from the big cable companies.
Im in Charlotte, NC, USA

Wifi download speed - Z3

Hi, my home WIFI network has a download speed of 70MBPS, when using my Z3, it only has a download speed of 3MBPS. I checked this with a speedtest app before and after a restart of both the phone and the router.
Am I missing something?
Thanks

Teemboh are you using any bluetooth devices along with the wifi connection. Bluetooth and wifi use the same onboard chip in mobile devices. pairing up a bluetooth device will force the xperia to micro switch between 2 signals to keep both intact (bluetooth and wifi) this results in a huge performance loss on the wifi. and can even cause bluetooth connections to fail when wifi is used to download big amounts of data.
I never understood why manufacturers make one chip for bluetooth and wifi. Yes it uses the same 2.4 GHZ transmission but if both are used there is a tremendous loss of performance on both ends. HQ bluetooth headphones can suffer from stutter if wifi is also used and sometimes the signal drops of the bluetooth. i dont recommend using both at the same time.
This is not only the case with xperia devices but almost all new smartphones.
Havent tried this myself but you could try a 5 GHZ router and connect to this wifi signal. Maybe that helps.
I get 25 Mbit download on my router. when a Bluetooth headset is connected i get a very unstable 3 Mbit. In the time that i had a note 2 i contacted samsung for this problem but they kept saying that it cant be an issue and wifi should work on full speed. but when doing some more research i found the real truth fast enough. wifi and bluetooth really dont like eachother in smartphones

Why max WiFi download speeds are only 20-25 Mbps

I raised the issue of why my wifi speed on the Xoom is limited to 20-25 Mbps on the Motorola Forum and there is an informative thread on the topic. If you are interested take a look.

No cordless phone (two iPhones and two iPads though). It does have one or two walls on line of sight. A few wireless door security zones. And a large china cabinet that my wife sure wouldn't let me move. Do any of these sound significant enough to drop the dowload from 30Gb to .1GB...while upload stays consistent. I have had better signal strength through two walls 100 feet out from my house, havent tried recently though. I am suddenly aware as my switch is acting up and i had to use wifi on my xbox.

Lenovo a7000 slow wifi downloading speed

i have lenovo a7000 which gives slow downloading speed in wifi with good wifi signal. please tell me anyone how to fix this issue.

hi nestharus,
Welcome to the Forums.
If you have the Atheros AR9485 Wireless Adapter, can you try this driver:
Drivers for Atheros AR9485 and Windows 8
Version: 10.0.0.234
OS: Windows 8 32/64bit
File: win8-10.0.0.234-whql.zip
Alternativey, does the issue happens also if you boot into Safe Mode with Networking? (if you get a stable good download then it's possible that a security software is interferring with the wireless connection).
Edit:
Using the Dink Wireless AC1200 Dual Band USB Adapter will definitely improve the performance (you may need to set it to 2.4Ghz if you only have a single band router)
regards,
neokenchi

Yosemite Drops WiFi Download Speed 25%

I really had no problems with Yosemite on my late-2013 MBP Retina...until I did a Speedtest.net test of my Internet speed, in this case over a wi-fi connection to my router.
I routinely get 55-60 Mbit/sec download speeds, but with Yosemite I got only 40-45 Mbit/sec, roughly a 25% reduction. In case it was just a slowdown from my ISP, I checked using wired Ethernet, which showed my usual 55-60 Mbit/sec throughput. Toggling immediately back to wi-fi, the speed went back down to the 40-45 Mbit/range.
I saw others with wi-fi issues under Yosemite and tried the proposed solutions that some said fixed the wi-fi speed (and wi-fi drops) problems--turn off Bluetooth for one. Nothing helped. So I restored the Time Machine backup of my Mavericks installation and...everything wifi-related is back to normal. Same network speeds as before Yosemite.
Lesson learned--always do a full backup before a major OS upgrade just in case.

Having issue on my D6633 since KitKat, now updated to LP 5.0.2 23.1.1.E.0.1 and still same. When I go in 5 meters from router behind 2 walls and signal strength decrease a bit download speed drops almost to Zero, but upload speed is ok.
Please check below video, I have 46080 / 3072 kbps for download /upload... Tried all possible settings combinations without success. Stamina mode never used..

When near router 2-3 m without any obstacles download speed is ok.
Any other my phone (Samsunf S3 for ex.) have no such issue in same location...
Please advise what can cause such issue or it is my Sony hardware specific issue ? How can I solve it ?
This issue is not router specific, because same behavior at home and at work.
just in case following settings I have at home: router in mixed mode, 20/40MHz auto, WMM enabled
Download this and take a look which channel of your router had the best signal and make changes on your router to the best channel within 1-11. Try your speed test again to see if this helps.

You may also want to ensure that no body is downloading or torrent if your home network is shared with other users.

Airport Express - Slow WiFi Download Speeds

I have a main wireless AP/router that is a Cisco 871 . There are several windows based laptops in the house, a G5, and Mac Pro (wired). The G5 is currently connected through an Airport Express which is connected via WPA. However download transfers are terrible. I have attained consistently over 15mbits down on all other hardware and approaching 3mb u/l. (Standard speedtest.net site). On my G5 (fully patched OS X), it caps out at about 1mb download. I see similar transfer speed when I mount the G5 via samba, ruling out my bandwidth completely. However, upload speeds seem acceptable, also approaching 3mb (speedtest.net/mozy.com etc).
To verify wireless connectivity, I used a laptop next to the G5 and was able to get acceptable test results. There appears to be an issue with the firmware in the Airport Express. Maybe running in a mixed env? The Cisco does not support "n" wireless speeds.

I performed some further testing. I have connected a windows based laptop to the Express (via ethernet) and again am seeing the slow downloads, uploads remain fine. Therefore it is isolated to the express and not a problem with the G5.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Wifi download speed very slow comparing to ethernet

Hello!
I have very strange problem with internet connection in my iMac.
I have a linksys router and 6Mbps broadband (slow or not, it's Poland ).
I try to download the same file via wifi or cable (connected to linksys).
Transfer on cable: 600-800kBps, transfer on wifi 50-100kBps.
Why is that?
It's very strange because ma macbook pro connected via wifi to linksys downloads the same file with transfer as well 600-800kBps.
On iMac there is Leopard 10.5.5. Linksys was restarted many times. iMac - 24" inch model 2.8GHz.
Does anybody know any solution?
Thanks in advance
Christopher

hello anybody?

What should the WIFI download spped of the ipad be?

What should the WIFI download speed of the ipad be?

I'm running a 12 MGPS DSL connection and get pretty much the same download performance on all devices. Upload speeds seem to favor the Mac Book, but only slightly.
But obviously this would be impacted by a number of factors, including the somewhat less powerful reciever on the iPad compared to the laptop.
At any rate, speed on the iPad is more than adequate.

Why am I only getting 0.24mbs download speed on my ipad over my wifi when my Microsoft laptop is working massively faster?

Why am I only getting 0.24mbs download speed & 0.47mbs upload speed on my ipad over my wifi when my Microsoft laptop is working massively faster?
I have a EE BrightBox wifi router and other devices in the house are working perfectly only problem I have is with my Apple products.

Hi,
Don't have a Mac, using new ipad, iPhone 5&4s both with ios7 but it's soo slow, Microsoft laptop is working fine over wifi so it has to be Apple devices that have the problem. Have tried all of the suggested fixes on forums but still no joy.
