IPhone 4S - Wi-Fi Speed issues with Linksys 4500

I have a Linksys 4500 and have extremely slow wifi speeds.  I've changed every setting, channel and anything else that was editable.  However, I can never get very good download speeds (typically below 1Mbs) but the strange thing is that uploads are usually around 5Mbs.  I finally tried a Ruckus 7363 AP and I consistently get close to 20Mbs so I know it is the wi-fi with the linksys router.  Has anyone else had the same experience and did you find a fix?  Again, I've tried everything and the problem only appears on ios devices.  Macbook has no issues nor does my android devices.  thanks

I'm having the same issue.  My old iPhone 4 and the iPad 2 both connect seamlessly to iTunes (on WIndows 7), but the iPhone 4S doesn't sync automatically when plugged in to power.  Also it doesn't maintain a connection to iTunes over wifi.  For instance, right now iTunes isn't showing the iPhone 4S (but is showing the iPhone 4 and iPad 2) even though the iPhone 4S is on the same network, and is even connected to power.
When I try to sync from iTunes (when the phone shows up) or from the iPhone 4S, it fails saying that it failed to start the sync process.
Since the process works with the iPhone 4 and iPad 2, I'm assuming there must be some issue with the 4S, or another setting somewhere that isn't completely obvious.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

    I have Iphone 5 and have an issue with deleting part of the messages in Imessage conversation. The trash button is not displayed to delete part of the imessage. I see only delete all option. Is it a bug?

    Hi An Iphone user,
    If you are having issues deleting a specific message from an iMessage conversation (not seeing the Trash icon), you may want to double-check that you are following the steps outlined in the following article:
    How do I delete a message?
    To delete a message, tap and hold the message bubble, then tap More.
    Tap Delete All to delete all the messages. Or tap to select the messages you want to delete, then tap .
    After you delete a message, you can recover it only by restoring from a backup.
    Send messages with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  • My itunes account shuts down for no reason.  It wont recognize my iphone and there is an issue with network connectivity and itunes.  I have already  reinstalled itunes and did a syste restore on my computer, firewall checked and virus scan done.  Ideas??

    My itunes account on windows xp shuts down for no reason.  If even try to delete something from my library it shuts down.   It wont recognize my iphone and there is an issue with network connectivity and I can't connect to the store.  I have already  reinstalled itunes and did a system restore on my computer, firewall has been checked, itunes is ok on firewall and virus scan done.  Ideas??

    Same problem. I can see the itunes store so not a problem with windows firewall. The account is active on my iphone so i know i am not locked out. I can connect the PC to my iphone so i know itunes is working ok. It is just logging into itunes on this pc which doesn't work. Only thing I can think of is that the email address I use for my apple id has been offline for a while and is working again now, I'm wondering whether this has been the case for others who are having this issue?

  • 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

  • IPhone 6/iOS 8 email issues with wifi connection

    Hi
    I have just upgraded from an iPhone 4 (iOS 7) to an iPhone 6 (iOS 8) and am having an issue with my pop email account. I used my iPhone 4 backup to set up new iPhone, so all the settings were as they were in my old phone. I have two email accounts, one is an IMAP account and the other is a POP account (which is my main email), I have no problems connecting to the server and downloading emails when connected via 4G (its super fast), but when I am connected via wifi, the POP account takes ages to connect to the server and check for emails (stuck on checking for email). I can speed up the process by closing mail app completely and reopening, then it checks and downloads really quickly (IMAP account has no problems), but this is frankly a pain.
    I have spent ages on the phone with Apple support, who have got me to delete my POP email account twice, reset network settings, reset the phone using on/off button and home button, all to no avail. They are intent on telling me it's my email service providers fault, but as I pointed out there is no issue on 4G and my old iPhone (using iOS 7) on wifi has no issues, so can't be email provider. I have also tried using Apple's wifi in store to rule out router issue and the problem happened there too.
    Have now run out of suggestions and options. I'm not sure if it's the phone itself, either a hardware or software issue (Apple support think not). Someone told me that it could be the wifi on my phone blocking the connection to the server. I have an appointment booked at the genius brand they have suggested wiping the phone and setting up as a new phone to see if the problem occurs, but this seems a bit drastic and I would lose all messages etc. Any help would be appreciated.

    I have solved the issue! I tried my pop account on other devices with iOS 8 and the same thing happened, so I deduced that the issue is a glitch in iOS 8 with wifi and pop accounts. I managed to get hold of the IMAP settings for my email provider and all seems to be well. Happy days!

  • Speed Issue with EG008W ver 3

    This is my first time writing on a forum so please forgive the long winded explanation. I just want to make sure I give all the details.
    I currently own a WRV54G, WRT54G, and BEFSR41. My internet modem is connected directly to the WRV54G and the other two are connected directly to WRV54G also. The little network I had was working completely fine and I've never had any issues.
    Last month I purchased a EG008W ver 3 in the hopes of speeding up my internal network since my laptop (vista 64 home), my HP media smart ex485 server, and my PS3 all have gigabit cards.
    I removed WRT54G from the WRV54G and connected the EG008W to WRV54G. I then connected  my laptop, my HP mediasmart ex485 server, my PS3, and WRT54G to the  EG008W.
    I didn't notice any speed changes in the last month so this week I decided to do a small speed test. Copying 5GB of files from my server to my laptop said it would take me 5 hrs. I connected my laptop to the WRT54G and tried copying the same files and it took just less than 10 minutes. I connected the laptop back to EG008W and tried copying the same files. I let it sit for 30 minutes then gave up.
    I did an online chat with Linksys and told me to return it to the store. The store policy didn't allow exchanges but they did test it and it the EG008W worked fine for them.
    I brought it back home and tried it with the following simple set up: Modem to WRV54G to EG008W. Then I connected just the latop and server to EG008W. I copied the same 5GB of files and it first seemed promising but after 15 minutes it still said 3 hours left. I would have liked a speed boost in my network but to have it slow down more than my wireless G connection is just not right.
    I have cat5e cabling and patch cords. I have kept the cabling the same when I connect from the switch to the router when doing the tests.
    Any help would be appreciated. I would also appreciate any new tests that I may try.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    According from what I understand, it seems that the switch is not working the way it should. After all the testing that you had, I suggest you better contact Linksys phone support for assistance. well if you were out side USA please contact them again via chat and let them know your concerns.

  • New infinity line and major speed issues with almo...

    Hi,
    Just has infinity installed after moving from my previous FTTC provider.  With the previous provider i was getting 16 down / 1-2 up and it worked great.
    Had my my new inifnity line put in on thrsday and i am getting 17 down / 0.5 up!! 
    I work from home and connect to the office via vpn and remote desktop and its almost unusable.  Laggy, slow, unrepsonsive and is constantly dropping the connection with a failed to read from socket error and is making it very difficult to work form home effectively.
    I have a 4g EE modem also and if i switch to this it is like lightening compared.
    I also had absolutely no connection issues with my previous provider and as i posted above had a mich better uplink speed - which is where i think im getting most of my issues.
    When i signed up to BT this is what i was sent via email:
    We estimate your download speed will be 19.1Mb.
    We estimate your upload speed will be 3.9Mb.
    Im fine with the download but the uplink is shocking compared to the estimate - and as i had much better before i think something is amiss.
    Also when i signed up i was told that if i had any connection issues with the new line i had to notify BT within 7 days and it woudl eb investingated but it seems there are so many roadblocks to creating support tickets etc.. Its like it s been hard to report a fault on purpose.
    Where can i create a support ticket or similar to get this looked at?
    Thanks

    As you use the internet for work purposes did you have business broadband with your previous provider ?
    This is the Residential forum. You may be better posting on the BT Business forum.

    If you also backed up to your computer - you can restore from that backup - to retrieve the files. As far as I know- that should have no bearing on deleting them from iCloud - they should still be in that backup.
    If you used iOS file sharing with your computer - and saved the files to your computer - you can retrieve them from there.
    if the only place that the files were saved to was iCloud, I know of no way to get them back.

  • TS1569 iphone ios5.1 still having issues with Bluetooth

    Iphone Ios5.1 still having issues on Bluetooth connectivity.

    I lost The Bluetooth function completely two weeks ago. iPHONE IOS 5.1 .
    This is not a pairing issue, or wrong usage. Suddenly it didn't work in my car any longer. Resetting didn't help. I have tested against two other iPhones, my PC, my headset and my iPAD. (all this units have had BT connections with my iPHONE earlier)
    My iPhone Bluerooth is simply not working anylonger, not detectable and cannot "see" or find any other BT devices.
    Is this a software bug? Or simply a hardware error requiring physical repair?
    Cheers Rolf

  • I am currently running iOS 5 on my iphone 4S, is there any issue with the battery life if I update my phone software to iOS 6?

Also, if I create another apple ID, will my data, apps etc be lost, do I have to download the stuff again? Help me out!!

  • Speed issue with TC and Airport Express 802.11n in WDS mode...

    Here is my problem.
    I replaced my older base station / Express duo with
    a new Time Capsule (1TB) and a new Airport Express (802.11n).
    I set up the network with the TC as base station running a WDS network (WDS main) and the Express is the WDS remote.
    When I check the wireless clients from the TC, I find my iMac running at 130Mbits and the Extreme at 54Mbits.
    No other wireless clients are connected to the network (I kept my slower network as a parallel one for my "older" Macs).
    The only other connected device is my Dish network DVR that is connected via an Ethernet cable directly to the Express.
    So my question is why does the Express not communicate at >54 speed rate with the TC?
    And, why does my iMac connect with 130 and not with 300Mbits?
    Any thoughts?

    Instead of using WDS, you should take advantage of the "Allow this network to be extended" option that is available for the 802.11n AirPorts including the TC. WDS only operates in the 802.11g radio mode.
    Here's the basic setup:
    o If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
    o Open AirPort Utility and select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
    o Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    o Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
    o Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
    o Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    o Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.
    o Enter the base station network and base station password is necessary.
    o Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.

  • Speed issues with Leopard or Kernel Panics try this..

    I installed Leopard on a PB G4 1.5Ghz and was getting freezing, speed issues running Adobe apps and more recently kernel panics. Running Disk Utility did nothing.
    But one thing worked wonders for me, hope it helps you.
    Put the CD for Leopard in the machine and boot from it. Run Disk Utility and Repair Permissions of your hard drive.
    It took 1 hour 30 mins but it wonders for me, so far....
    Hope it helps you.

    Funny eh?
    I had a similar problem installing Leopard, installation went fine but when I restarted it wouldn't boot past the grey screen. I was disillusioned as I was eagerly waiting for Leopard, but I waited a few days and decided to boot from the install DVD and I repaired permissions, re-installed and it now works fine!
    Must be a pre-requisite to use disc utility and fix those permissions!
    Go figure?

  • Issue with Linksys E3000 router wireless speeds

    Hello! I recently upgraded my Comcast package to Blast and now I'm getting around 60 Mbps when connected directly to the modem via wire. However, when I connect via wireless, I'm not getting anything higher than 35+ Mbps. I have a Linksys E3000 router. The current settings that I have is 2.4 GHz, mixed network mode, channel width "auto", channel 11. I'm currently getting the highest possible speed on channel 11 since it's the least congested channel. I tried switching mode to N only to see whether it would improve the speed; however, it doesn't make any difference. Also, I tried speeds in 5Ghz settings as well, but I'm still getting the same speeds. The computer is approximately 10 feet away from the router. I've also tried testing speeds with the computer right next to the router, but still I'm getting same speeds. On the other hand, when I connect to the router via wire, then I'm getting the same fast speeds 60Mbps as I was getting when connected directly to the modem.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    You must use WPA2-AES encryption.  Set to 20 Mhz only.  Try channel 1 or 6 also.  Disable WMM (media priority) and try again.
