Iphone Wifi speeds are less than 3G speeds after setting up Airport Extreme

Hello everyone. I've been searching long and hard for an answer with no success. I'm hoping someone here can help me out. A few weeks ago I upgraded my speed on my ISP from 30Mbps down and 4Mbps Up to 50Mbps down and 8Mbps up. I used to have a WRT54G Linskys router which gave me great speeds on my ipads, iphone, Apple TV and both windows based computers. The other day I switched the Linskys out for an new AirPort Extreme. I Set it up and the speeds on all my devices were constant around 35 down and 8 up. I left the default settings on the AirPort Extreme. Then a few days ago I set up the security for my router, WPA2- Personal. Checked the speeds and my computers, ipads are running great but now my iphones are doing constantly for the last 3 days 1Mbps down and 8Mpbs up. So last night I tuned off my security and than the iphone was back to normal speeds. I'm pretty much confused now. Any ideas? Seems like the security setting are doing something here.

I bought a new Iphone 5 Friday the battery goes flat in less than half a day also the wifi disconnects in less than 40 secs

I bought a new Iphone 5 Friday the battery goes flat in less than half a day also the wifi disconnects in less than 40 secs this is really frustrating I think I have a dud phone or is this the new IOS6.1 software update?

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW device. If you've been through ALL the steps listed and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

Extremely slow wifi speeds after Yosemite install

I "upgraded" to Yosemite and now my wifi speeds on this machine (iMAC) are extremely slow, like crawling. Was fine this morning before update. All other devices in the house (iphones, ipad, macbook pro) are all running normal fast speeds. Does anyone know if there is a fix for this? Missing Mavericks already.

I saw a big (huge) change in wifi speeds after Yosemite upgrade, it was more noticeable the farther away from the router I was. I moved closer to the Router and speed was back to normal.
You can check your connection by pressing at the same time alt(option) and the wifi icon (at top of menu bar), a drop down list will show the connection's stats, look for TX Rate towards the bottom. After upgrade my TX Rate dropped to 5 Mbps! I moved closer to the Router, and TX Rate improved to 146 Mbps, Safari was browsing at normal speeds again.
I read other discussions, found a suggestion to rename my location, in System Preferences - Network - WiFi, at top of panel Location, mine was named Automatic (the default). As suggested, I clicked on the arrows, selected edit, and renamed the location, name it anything you like... I restarted the computer, and luckily enough my TX Rate at the farthest location from Router improved from 5Mbps to 39 Mbps. Still slower than before, never saw it below 80's. Don't know if the restart or the change of location name did the trick, maybe it was that Yosemite needed time to adjust to its new environment, regardless, there was some improvement.
I think there is an issue with Yosemite and WiFi that causes the TX Rate to drop more than with Mavericks as the distance from Router increases. Does not sound logical, but that is what the connection stats are saying!

TS1398 Wifi network password less than 8 characters

In the past, I was able to connect to my kids schools wifi network with a password that was 6 characters long. Since updating I am not able to use passwords that are less than 8. Is there away around this? I can connect with other non apple devices (school owned).

Try and reset your network settings by going to 'Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings'.
If you still have problems after this you may need to contact the schools IT administration.
Hope this helps

Top N Chart where there are less than N series'

Hi guys,
I'm using CR XI R2.
I've got a report with a bar chart displaying the top 10 delays for peices of equipment. It works great but I have a display issue when there are less than 10 delays.
For instance, on my top 10 chart for a certain day, there are only 2 delays and it stretches the columns to take up the entire chart. I would like them to display as if there were 10 delays, ie have a fixed width.
Is there a way to enforce this?

Are you doing a horizontal bar chart or a vertical column chart?

Do older basestations and express downgrade the speeds of the newer Airport Extreme?

In the past a device on an Airport network running at a slower speed would downgrade the entire wireless network.
I just purchased a New Airport Extreme. I also have an older Airport Extreme (g) and n Airport Express on my network.
My question is, are these devices downgrading my network speeds?

The new AirPort Extreme is dual-band, which means it simultaneously broadcasts a new (n) network and an old (b/g) network. Devices on the old network will not slow down devices on the new one.

The battery of my MBA 13 "mid 2011 is lasting less than two hours after installing the Mountain Lion. Would be the OS or apps consumed much?

My MBA is consuming the battery in less than two hours after I installed Lion Mountain. The update has already been done for some time. The problem of consumption would be the same OS, according to several complaints, or were inadequately apps consuming battery?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Are there any compatibility issues with Sonos and Airport extreme??

are there any compatibility issues with Sonos and Airport extreme??

Sonos uses its own priopietory wireless protocol SonosNet to distribute audio data among all its products, thus it should not affect other network devices which use standard WiFi 802.11a/b/g/n protocol at all though they may share the same radio channel for wirless signaling.
On my dual-band (5 GHz / 2.4 GHz) Airport Extreme staion, I select the option "802.11n Only (5GHz) - 802.11n (2.4GHz)" and turn on "Use wide channels" in Wireless configuration in order to use only 802.11n protocol and more radio channels to achieve maximum wireless bandwidth of 400 Mbps. This bandwidth is necessary for quick Time Machine backup to NAS connected to the Airport Extreme station through Ethernet cable. So my iMac and MacBook Pro always connected to the Airport Extreme through 5 GHz radio channel with 802.11n protocol whereas my iPhone 4S always connected through 2.4 GHz radio channel with the same protocol.
In my living room Sonos ZP-90 (same as new CONNECT model) zone player is connected to Airport Extreme directly through Ethernet cable (recommended by Sonos) and Sonos S5 (same as new PLAY:5 model) zone player in bedroom is connected wirelessly through SonosNet protocol to the ZP-90 zone player in living room.
These devices are in operation simutaneouly most of the time. Music is playing through the Sonos ZP90/S5 zone players througout the day, I am streaming viedo through Internet (fibre broadband 25 Mbps) on my MacBook Pro in bedroom or iMac in living room or reading news on my iPhone. So far so good and have no encounter any interference problem for about three years. Further more bandwidth for 802.11n protocol does not seem to be affected at all.
In fact with a low power Fujitsu USB drive (2.5" / 500 GB, designed for notebook) plug into USB port of Airport Extreme, it can be used as NAS drive for Sonos music distribution system without any problem. Just transfer all files from Music folder in my home directory on iMac into this NAS drive and set it up as music source in "Manage > Music Library Settings" in Sonos Controller for Mac application will do. Though the same drive can be served as Time Machine's backup disk as well, an independent full-fledged NAS drive for Sonos and Time Machine backup is better long-term solution for reliability and performance. With the NAS configured as sole music source, you do not need to keep any computer powered on all the time in order to play music through the Sonos system.

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.

How do I get my Ipod to play music videos through my theatre system? I keep getting the message "This device not supported". My theatre system WILL recognise my Iphone however. The theatre system, Ipod, and Iphone are all less than 4 months old. Any suggestions welcome!

Check with the theater system vendor and see if their system is compatible with the Nano. The resolution on the Nano may be too low for the system.

How can I get recordings that are less than 96 kbps onto my iPhone if I am using iTunes Match?

I am using iTunes Match but it won't upload any files that are recorded at less than 96 kbps. I have recordings from several classes that I am taking online that I need to listen to on my iPad and iPhone. How can I get them on my devices? Do I just have to turn Match off and do it manually like before? Or is there a way to change the recording level in GarageBand?

I found the answer. Just double click on the recording in iTunes and select Create AAC Version. Then select Update iTunes Match under the Store tab. The recordings will now show up and play on your other devices.
