IPod Touch 4g VERY slow wifi

Hi
I have recently bought a new ipod touch 4g to replace my old 2g ipod touch, the main reason for this is because it is supposed to be faster, granted the internet speed doesnt have much to do with the processor
But i noticed the internet was slower than usual, so i put my new and old ipod side to side and used the Freeappaday app (because it accesses internet immediately and takes a while to start up even on the fastest of connections) and on the last attempt the 2g took 10 seconds and the 4g took 30 seconds, if there was only like 5 seconds between them i wouldnt be too bothered, but it takes about 20 seconds just to load the achievements in game center!
Is anybody else having this problem? Should i take the ipod to an apple store or send it in for repair?
Thanks
Ben

"m have the same problem. Simultaneous, side-by-side download speed test: iPod Touch 4G = 0.97 Mbps, iPod Touch 2G = 9.2 Mbps. I have a Netgear RangeMax WNR834bv2 N-router. I've changed the router speed from "up to 270 Mbps" to "up to 130 Mbps", but no change. I've changed the channels on the router, but no change. I've powered cycled the router a million times, but no change. I've reset the network settings on the iPod, but no change. What are the differences in the wireless antenna between the 2G and 4G that could be affecting download speeds? I've taken my iPod Touch 4G to Starbucks, and my download speeds are much closer to my 2G. My wireless router and Touch 4G are not playing nice.

  • IPod Touch 5g A1421 Slow Wifi on certain Apps

    Greetings,
    Im still trying to get used to my brand new iPod (1 month since i bought it), but i just cant sort one annoying thing. I bought it so i can replace my iPod Touch 4g, that was constantly crashing while playing Podcasts with the Apple App (Tiesto's, Hardwell and some other pods). This new one doesnt have that problem, but it seems to download the podcast at a very slow rate,it takes 1 hour or so to download a 80mb podcast (15mb internet speed), while on my 4g it took 10 minutes. It also cant play any Twitch streams on high rate, because it freezes every 2 seconds, after a waiting of 1 min. Out of those two apps, everything its ok, browser and YouTube loads quick and without any problem. Speedtest shows 10mb/sec. Im using a DLINK DI-524 Router, wich only supports the 2.4ghz band in G mode (guess it also supports B, since that one its older). On my college it works slow as well (300mb internet speed). Its just my iPod btw, iPad 2 and iPod touch 4g works great at dowloading/watching Twitch.
    What can i do to sort this out? I have performed everything that its listed (reset network, factory reset, reset the router, change to channel 11, using a 8.8.8.8 DNS on my iPod wifi conection, etc). Im thinking on buying a newer router.

    Anyone? I contacter apple support and asked me to bring the iPod for tests, and it gives the same results there. It will take 2 weeks to get a replacement.

  • Brand new ipod touch 3 frustrating slow wifi

    Dear all, I just opened my brand new iPod Touch 3 yesterday and it connected to my wifi network without any issue.
    But then, the browsing has been a joke. Not a funny one. It is slow like you have no idea. I could load only 4 pages in the whole evening. The google front was one of them.
    I was sitting right next to the router. It didn't help.
    I cannot say I was loosing the connection. Only that loading any page was next to impossible.
    My provider of internet is www.get.no in Norway.

    Update: I previously advised the following quoted manual set up. I thought had solved problem but it returned. I now have found I think the real root of slow iTouch on Airport Wifi Network. Seems wireless telephone is interfering on 2.4 freq. Channel for 2.4 Freq was set on 1. I have now changed to channel 6. I have now being operating Two iTouch at same time for several hours with no freeze and acceptable speed. Anyone else having hang ups, slow operation, etc. would suggest trying channel change on 2.4 Freq., especially if you have wireless tel. in house.
    Brad
    Quote of Maculu manual set up
    You open Airport Utility, click on manual setup, enter your WiFi password, click on wireless tab, click on radio mode drop down box, pick 802.11a/n-802.11b/g instead of automatic, Now click radio channel selection and pick manual, pick any random channel for each of the 2 frequencies.

  • IPod touch runs very slow on my computer

    I recently purchased the 3rd Gen iPod touch and so far it has been running extremely slow when plugged into my computer. I installed all the latest updates and it's still running slow. On my 5th Gen iPod, songs were changed and deleted instantly. Any suggestions?

    Same problem, although it used to be much quicker, I am unsure of when it became so slow.
    It's taking about 4 seconds a song to copy to my Touch, while an older Nano takes less than a second per song on the same computer. The same Touch hooked up to my Macbook Pro is very quick. Just on my PC running Windows 7 64 is it slow.
    Also oddly iTunes has an issue playing music when the Touch is syncing now. It pauses briefly every few seconds. Never used to do that either.
    Wondering if I the last update did this?

  • Ipod touch is very slow, but I don't have a lot of apps?

    I have a 4th gen Ipod touch, and lately it's been extremely laggy. I do not have many apps, and there is still around 45-50GB free on it. I use it primarily for music and it takes up 60-70% of what's on the Ipod. Whenever I try to play a song, I have to press the music app(oh whatever you call it the place where the songs go) at least 3 times before it actually displays a list of my songs. The attempts prior to that show the layout, but everything is completeky blank. And once I manage to play a song, it plays only the song I selected and then stops, making me repeat the whole ritual again. I've read other discussions on this topic, but the solutions seem to be restore it and don't overload it with apps... So I'm wondering why it's being like this. I've had it since June 2011 and is this a normal Ipod's lifespan (if it is that is extremely disappointing considering the amount of money paid)?

    turn off the ipod and turn it back on after 5mins
    Maybe do a factory reset and just transfer all your music back from itunes

    If it is still under warranty take it to an Apple Store, or in any case call AppleCare (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 for list of international phone numbers) to see if they can help you. They may be able to help you with repairs if it is a physical problem with the home button.

  • Ipod classic 160GB very slow sync and cannot connect to itunes store windows 7 ansd itunes 10.6.0.40. I have now been trying for 3 weeks to restore my iPod. Really frustrated, any ideas would be welcome.

    Ipod classic 160GB very slow sync and cannot connect to itunes store windows 7 ansd itunes 10.6.0.40. I have now been trying for 3 weeks to restore my iPod. Really frustrated, any ideas would be welcome.

    Cured the problem! Reinstalled an earlier version of itunes from oldapps.com (version 10) now everything works as it should. I would suggest that if you are experiencing these problems that you do the same. I must say that it is a brave business decision on behalf of apple to effectively lock out all windows 7 users from their products and sales channels and I can only wish them luck in this very shortsighted policy.
