IPhone wifi speed set at slower speed

My iPhone4 has a speed checker onit that I would use for a quick check as to if there was any speed problems but in the last week or so the speed has been maxing out at 6 meg . Checking or pc and laptop shows not speed change normal speed is 13-14 meg but when I checked the home hub wifi connections my iPhone shows a speed of 6meg .as if the hub has set it to that speed . Any ideas why or how I can rectify this throttling of speed to the phone . Normally the phone records a speed maybe a meg or two slower than the pc . Also strange as well is when I check speediest.net on laptop it shows me as being near Newcastle when I live in Eastbourne . This did rectify for a few day but has know chqnged back again . Don't think this has anything to do with it but just a little strange .

Cheers keith . After looking up the iPhone has wireless n but it's 2.5ghz not 5ghz . Would changing wifi settings to wireless g solve this problem ? Would the iPhone wifi still work on wireless g. I would assum all other devisees are wireless g on home network
The home hub only uses the 2.5gHz band as it only has one radio module.
Changing the hub to wireless "g" only, should improve things, if you have no wireless "n" devices.
Give it a try.

I am U.S. iPhone 4S user traveling in China. Data speed is too slow to be usable. Verizon says that it because iPhone 4S connects to strongest signal even if slowest. Any work arounds for this design flaw?

I am U.S. iPhone 4S owner traveling in China. Data speed is too slow to be usable. Verizon says that is because iPhone 4S connects to strongest signal, even if slowest (virtually non-existent) data network. Does anyone know how to work around this design flaw?

I spent 2 months in china with my old iphone 3gs. Both China Unicomm and China Mobile were accessible through my US phone. (for you other users, yes my phone bill was sky high, but it's a small price to pay when you get instant access to your wife while you are gone... and to be able to use the google translate app). I had a GSM phone (obviously) and had the ability to choose what carrier I wanted my phone to connect to (the same thing was available when I was in italy as well).
it was under
general-> network> then there was a new field (that does not normally show up when in the US) that listed the available networks to connect to. my phone always attempted china unicomm first, and switched to china mobile only when unicomm was unavailible.
but if wjosten is correct (and i imagine he is), cdma phones may not be able to choose what network to connect to.

Go to:

Wifi Issue---Slow speed

Hi
I am experiencing very poor wifi performance on my xperia z1 compact.
I am always able to connect to my router and all my other devices all work fine without any issues. The issue is that 99% of the time I am getting very poor wifi speeds (I am getting good signal to the routers wifi). The strange thing is that everytime I use the speedtest app, I am reaching my target speeds (around 16mb generally), however when I try to use other apps, I am getting extremely poor wifi speeds. I have tried a factory reset and also a repair using the pc software but i am still stuck with this problem.
I had been using kitkat 4.4.2, I was hoping that updating to 4.4.4 would fix this issue but it still persists. This is my first sony device, can somebody please help remedy this problem!

Going to return phone to sony to fix this and a number of other issues including flash bleed a noisy images in general.
Ian which make of router are you using? is it Dlink by anychance?

Unable to connect / super slow speed WiFi

Ok I am pretty good with all this stuff but I am totally stuck here :-(
What it comes down to is that I cannot connect Wirelessly to the Airport Extreme.
Wired everything works fine. But wireless the speed is terrebly slow and connection dorps and/or times out.
Here is a list of what I did so far:
Updated and restored the software multiple times...
Restored the software from 2nd MB pro
Did complete restore (couple of times!)
Reset all network settings in the MB Pro
Flushed DNS cash in the MB Pro
2nd laptop has the same problem
iPhone can connect just fine!!!!
Verified hat the signal is clear on the channel.
Tested with and without the WPA/WPA2 Personal security
Tested with a fixed channel
Moved Airport elsewhere in the house (MB is sitting very close the the Airport Extreme....)
Replaced the Airport
One MB is on 10.6.8 (reloaded the combo update as well) The other MB Pro is 10.7.2
Any imput is greatly appriciated !!!!
Rogier

Both machines have the same problem. Strangely enough my iPhone 4 connects just fine!
The problem must be in the Airport Extreme that we already have replaced after I first tought that the Airpot card inside that unit had failed....

WIFI loading speed is super slow, please help.

Hi there.
I just got my first apple laptop and it seems that i have problem i can't solve. I have pretty good broadband but my macs downloading speed is super slow, i called support, the guy on the other side told me something i could do, but most of it didn't work. Apparently my friends laptop has downloading speed over 400 Kb/s while mine is just 10Kb/s, well it seems unfair, since we pay equally for internet and he uses most of it.
Could anyone suggest what is wrong, because i have pretty good feeling that there is some mystery.
Thanks in advance.

I too have serious issues concerning the speed of networkconnnections when connecting via airport on my MBA.
I cannot specify the exact moment when it started but i think it was directly or short after the last firmware update when surfing or in fact anything that needs a networkconnection started to become reeaaally slow.
what happens is that it takes up to 45 seconds for a website to start loading or mails to load. even widgets like weather need forever to get a connection.
the funny thing is that once the initial connection is established (like a youtube video starting to load) the speed is ok again but sometimes it takes so long to start with loading that i get timeouts on pages that never had a problem before.
at first i figured that it was a problem with my internet provider (which it is not since the imac and ibook my husband uses over the same airport extreme basstation are superfast) then i thought it had something to do with the browser or java and started to re-install all of them
but 10 days ago i had to buy the ethernet usb adapter since i was working somewhere that had no WLAN and with the ethernet network connection the speed is there. its only when i need to connect to a wifi network (and i tried various ones, airport and other WiFi networks) that i have this veeeery annoying speed dump..
any suggestions?

Slow speeds with roaming network

I just got a new HTC One M8 which has the wireless AC capability. I am getting really slow speeds on my home network and hoping someone can help.
My current setup is as follows - a motorola surfboard modem hooked up (ethernet) to the new model Airport Extreme (with the AC), from there I have a powerline adapter hooked up to another part of the house where I have the older model Airport Extreme (I think 5th gen) - and I am using this in roaming mode to extend the signal.
This works fantastic for my devices which run on N, and everything flies with little to no issues no matter where I am in the house. But this phone - it is incredibly slow. When I run speed tests, at times I am getting decent download on the phone (20mbs) but getting absolutely 0 upload (literally 0.0 mbs). It works from time to time but is cutting in and out frequently.. So - What I am wondering is, would the fact that the router downstairs broadcasting an AC signal conflict with the upstairs broadcasting an N? I am wondering if the phone is constantly switching from one band to another and causing my speed issues? I tried the wifi on another network which just had an N signal, and had no issues whatsoever so I know it is something to do with my home network.
Again - I don't have this issue with any of my other devices (iphone 5, laptop, Ipad etc) so I don't believe the issue lies with my ISP, just looking for advice or if anyone knows if this setup would cause issues with AC devices? I like having the 2nd router upstairs as it really boosts the signal for my N devices and also gives me the ability to hard wire the PS4, xbox etc - so I definitely want to keep it setup - but am thinking I might need to set it up as a new network and turn off the roaming.. Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

i'd tweak it and think you're making it worse by having 2 different networks, both your routers are very capable dual mode so you should let the router and the devices decide which band to use (2 vs 5) vs your choosing it for them
once your network is setup correctly, restart any stationary clients ensuring that they are grabbing the strongest signal present
keep flatex downstairs, factory reset it and create a new network, trust me you'll want to factory reset to avoid issues when setting up the towerex
for now, put towerex next to flatex, factory reset it, and connect an eth cable from LAN on flatex to WAN (circle icon) on towerex
give it a minute or 2, open airport utility and you'll get the option to setup towerex as a WIRED extension, do this
now the painful part, play around with different set of electrical outlets to find the ones that give your towerex the best connection
remember, to turn the wifi on/off for the device you're using to test the towerex after each move or it will likely be connected to the flatex

It seems that people experience slow wifi on iphone with IOS 6 under slightly different circumstances.
Some have slow/choppy video streaming, some have problems with large dropbox files, some with app store and some with podcasts.
Which is your problem AdeelRasheed?
Me personally, I have download speed when on wifi.
But only when downloading podcasts...
Running 6.0.1 or 6.1 on iPhone 5, iPhone 4 and iPad 2.
On WIFI I can download a 45 mb app from the appstore in less than a minute. I can stream Youtube and Netflix with no problems. Internet browsing - no problems.
But downloading podcasts with Instacast 3, Downcast or the Apple Podcast app happens at a rate of 20-80 kb/s when on WIFI. As soon as I switch to 3g ( 4g/LTE is not yet available from my local provider) my download speed goes to between 300kb/s and 2 mb/s.
Anyone else have this problem?

EA4500 - can only access youtube, google at a very slow speed, can not access anyother website

Got a new EA4500 for X'mas
After setting up the new router I could only access youtube and google at a very slow speed, however I can not access anyother website - facebook, yahoo and etc...
it would ping yahoo and google no problem
friend told me to do a tracert some ip address and his conclusion was the router is fully functional
ISP uses PPPoE, Im sure that the username and password are correct.
upgraded to the latest firmware manually, and holy hell accessing the router with no internet access is a pain in the **bleep**!
Please help and Merry X'mas

It might be a DNS problem. Release & renew ip on the status page of your router. Just make sure you are already using the latest Linksys smart wifi firmware, reset the router & reconfigure. You can download the firmware here http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/routers/EA4500.

My upload speed is very slow

hello I have 15/5 fios internet. My upload speed is extremely slow and it is affecting even browsing. I have a pc desktop windows 7 ~1 year old via ethernet to the router that was just sent to me by tech support to attempt to solve the problem. The new router is installed and it didn't solve the upload speed problem. Phone tech support told me to update my geforce 560 drivers but that didn't help either. Below are the speed test stats. Any other ideas? I've reset the system and power cycled the router as well. Another note is that the upload speeds are fine on the laptop connected via wifi? Strange. So I presume it is a settings issue with my desktop?

I have run a trace route to your IP and one route indicates 67 RT (ms) and another indicates 78 RT (ms) from my location in Maryland, and from what I see you are in Tampa. Another good reason not to post your IP. It could be a security risk for you, even though your router acts as a firewall. The response times to you do not look bad, but perhaps after loading the new drivers, you may need to optimize your connection again.
Also try the faster speed test even if you only have 15/5, and see if it makes any difference.
Have you run the optimizer? You must open your Internet Explorer by right clicking on it and selecting run as administrator. Then copy and paste this url into the open browser.

IPad Air wifi sync a lot slower than iPhone 5s?

I just got my new iPhone 5s yesterday and found out that its wifi syncing to itunes is a lot faster than the iPad Air I bought a few days ago. Actually iPad Air wifi syncing is so much slower than iPhone 5s, almost half speed, just as slow as wifi syncing with my iPhone 4, is this normal?
I've tested another iPad Air of my friend, and found out that his new iPad is as slow as mine. Anyone know WHY? Is there anything / settings we're missing?
I have the latest AirPort Extreme as wifi router.

It's not much help but here is another thread with similar problems.

Slow speeds using airport express 1st generation

I am currently using an airport express 802.11n 1st generation. I have a direct link from my modem to the airport express which provides a wireless connection to 4 other devices, my macbook pro (2009), iphone 5, android phone, and a windows computer.
I have been seeing very variable download speeds when using speedtest.net on both my macbook and iphone. I had just assumed it was my internet provider. However, I tried connecting my macbook directly to my modem using an ethernet cable instead of through the airport express. When I did that I had the full 50 Mb/sec download speed that I am paying for. When I then reconnect the airport express and measure the download speeds through wifi and with all 4 devices connected, I see much slower speeds, anywhere from 4 Mb/sec to 30 Mb/sec, but never the full 50 Mb/sec.
It seems that when my download speeds are really slow and I reset the airport express by just unplugging it and then plugging it back in, the speeds generally seem to improve, but again they usually average around 15 Mb/sec.
Another thing, it seems like the download speeds improve if only 2 devices are connected and not all 4. Yet, this seems unlikely, I would expect that the airport express could handle more than 4 devices!
When I connect with airport utility, the airport express has the latest firmware. I can't think of much else that would cause these slow speeds.
Any help would greatly be appreciated!
Thanks.

It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference that appears during these hours that is preventing your 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) from providing a clean RF signal.
I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like iStumbler, or AirRadar to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible.

Which Mac Pro? More cores=slower speeds? And most of us know the speed matters or FPU for music and I don't understand the faster is for the least amount of procs. And while I get the whole rendering thing and why it makes sense.

The above is what the bar says. It's been a while and wondered, maybe Apple changed the format for forums. Then got this nice big blank canvas to air my concerns. Went to school for Computer Science, BSEE, even worked at Analog Devices in Newton Massachusetts, where they make something for apple.
The bottom line is fast CPU = more FPU = more headroom and still can't figure out why the more cores= the slower it gets unless it's to get us in to a 6 core then come out with faster cores down the road or a newer Mac that uses the GPU. Also. Few. I'm the guy who said a few years ago Mac has an FCP that looks like iMovie on Steroids. Having said that I called the campus one day to ask them something and while I used to work for Apple, I think she thought I still did as she asked me, "HOW ARE THE 32 CORES/1DYE COMING ALONG? Not wanting to embarrass her I said fine, fine and then hung up. Makes the most sense as I never quite got the 2,6,12 cores when for years everything from memory to CPU's have been, in sets of 2 to the 2nd power. 2,4,8,16,32,64,120,256,512, 1024, 2048,4196,8192, 72,768. Wow. W-O-W and will be using whatever I get with Apollo Quad.
Peace to all and hope someone can point us in THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THANK YOU

My Question now is this, get an 8 core, then replace with 2 3.7 QUAD CHIPS, what would happen?
I also noticed that the 8 core Mac Pro is 3.0 when in fact they do have a 3.4 8 core chip, so 2 =16? Or if correct, wouldn't you be able to replace a QUAD CHIP WITH THAT? I;M SURE THEY ARE UO TO SOMETHING AS 1) WE HAVE SEEN NO AUDIO FPU OR PERHAPS I SHOULD CHECK OUT PC MAKERS WINDOWS machines for Sisoft Sandra "B-E-N-C-H-M-A-R-K-S" -
SOMETHINGS UP AND AM SURE WE'LL ALL BE PLEASED, AS the mac pro was announced Last year, barely made the December mark, then pushed to January, then February and now April.
Would rather wait and have it done correct than released to early only to have it benchmarked in audio and found to be slower in a few areas- - - the logical part of my brain is wondering what else I would have to swap out as I am sure it would run, and fine for a while, then, poof....
PEACE===AM SURE APPLE WILL BLOW US AWAY - they have to figure out how to increase the power for 150 watts or make the GPU work which in regard to FPU, I thought was NVIDIA?

Slow speeds, almost dead, can't figure out what's ...

Hi all, I've had very slow speeds from my homehub for almost a week. I've tried a factory reset on the hub to no avail. I also spoke to technical support in India I think, but they were no help.
When I perform a speed check the speed from the exchange to my house is fine, it's after that it dies a death.
I've checked all cables and it is not cabling after the hub as this problem effects internet tv's that are connected via ethernet cable and others that are wireless and also tablets that work on wifi.
In the last week I have had download speeds as low as 0.03 and for only a few hours last Monday has it been OK all of a sudden. I presumed a fix elsewhere but the problem came back an hour or two later.
At the moment we can't use iplayer, youtube and every webpage takes ages to load. It's quite horrible.
Has anyone got any idea's what could be wrong and are there any diagnostic tests I can run on the hub to see if it's borked.
