Leopard Speed Decrease?

Hi,
Have an APn. Haven't changed any settings on AP, but after installing leopard I can't break 11mbps.
I usual get 16-18Mbps via airport but no dice.
This is the weird part: If I plug my computer into the base station via ethernet I get normal speeds, but once I try using wireless it drops back down.
Multicast is set at 11, Channel Auto(but tried a few for measure), Robustness off, What gives? Is this a bug in leopard?

If someone out there can test a similar setup for me I would appreciate it.
Using a
1. G5 Dual 2.5 (10.5.1) with an Airport Extreme a/b/g card (using G).(it is the only client on network)
2. Airport Extreme N Base Station with g compatible band.
3. Cable Connection of 20Mbps down/2.5 Mbps up
4. Using: http://ma.speedtest.rcn.net/ to confirm speeds(although you have to be an RCN subscriber) any respectable speed test will do.
5. Try wireless and record speeds (mine hasn't broken 11Mbps, (although it is ranging from 4-9 on average)
6. Plug in Computer directly to base station via ethernet and record speeds. (I'm getting my normal 20Mbps) averaging 16-19.
This computer was achieving normal speeds of 20mbps via WIRELESS prior to leopard. Now it only works via ethernet or is slow.
I have tried swaping a few kext files,preference files, etc, but really don't know where to start.
**I'm almost positive it is on the *computer side of things*, not the basestation.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would like to know if others are experiencing a speed decrease with leopard via wireless.(**you probably wouldn't know unless your going over 11-12Mbps, because that is where it seems capped.)
My MBP is already been in repair for a week (waiting on a part) and I do not want to jump through hoops for a false hardware issue when it is either a bug in 10.5.1 or a simple fix via terminal or some other firmware,firewall,extension, pref, etc..Thanks

Hi Shaun...by default the second Firewall is the titled ipfw, this wall can be configured through the Terminal, there are some sites the give you the complete manual on how to set it up, but basically it showed its zany head during the Panther 10.3 install where upon users where not able to configure the System preferences' own firewall (everything was grayed or locked out and was unable to be opened) except for the terminal command, There was a big hooplah about it, but basically OS X contains two, the ipfw is a FreeBSD app. that is complex and its for concise configuration of ports. Im sure there is an old thread about here or in macrumors.
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls-ipfw.html
http://seaotter.berkeley.edu/cab/mac-firewalls/
basically it could conflict with the main firewall, in my logs it showed that it denied the router's ip address, upon flushing of the rules it allowed it, while still maintaining the security of the main Firewall, Also in Leopard full bars mean Data rate to the router, unlike in Tiger it meant signal strength, so you can be connected to the router but not be connecting to the internet (been there),
in the Terminal command you may find the ipfw manual pages, to set precise port settings etc. the System prefs firewall is more UI friendly, but its like buying wholesale, instead of a precise item being purchased. So in your case its not blocking anything, because your main Fw is functioning already, but it is something good to know. like I posted before migrated accounts may carry over these configurations from the ipfw that worked in Tiger but not in Leopard because of the new sets of rules etc.

"How do I find that IP address because I put in the 192.168.1.8.."
That's not the router's IP address. Most likely it will be 192.168.1.1
System Preferences>Network>Advanced>TCP/IP should show it.

Mouse tracking speed decreased in Mavericks

I've noticed that after upgreading to Mavericks my Mouse tracking speed decreased in comparison to Mountain Lion. (I have tracking speed in preferences set to max)
Do you have any idea how to increase tracking speed? If not, Apple you should leave the range of tracking speed as it was.

I was experiencing the same problem after updating to Mavericks and as a graphic designer it was driving me absolutely CRAZY. After doing some research online I found this: https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/34817/mouse-acceleration
It's a quick, free download and it completely solved my problem. Now I actually enjoy Mavericks.
Apple why do you keep changing things that work fine to begin with? This is iTunes 11 all over again.

You will need to ask beta related questions in the private developers forum. You do know how to get there, right?

Speed decrease

Recently I've noticed a decrease in speed, both in actual downloading of pages and as reported by the various speed testers. There is now a definate delay.
Yes, I know I'm a fair way from the exchange but originally when I was connected most, if not all, speed tests came in around the 1.9mb/s leve. Now most report 1.4 (even BT's own has dropped to around that level).

And that is when it gets a little bit suspect! I was connected to a new line so when did this other unidentified service get connected? Is it responsible for the slow down?
I'm trying to get a WiMax service connected so it might all become irrelevent (the phone line will go) but can BT just merrily piggy back other services onto a line with the resultant drop in performance.

Your connection speed is slower than before probably because your noise margin is at 9.2db whereas normal is about 6db. If you get noise margin down then speed will increase.
Are you connected to the master or test socket? Do you have other sockets in other rooms?
As your stats show a stable connection for the last 12 days i would if it was mine try 1 reset to se if noise margin would go back to 6db and if not then I would contact the mods and ask them to reset noise margin back to 6db. https://bt.custhelp.com/app/contact_email/c/4951

Will moving from Tiger to Leopard speed up or slow down my Dual 1.25GHz G4?

I'm currently running Mac OS X 10.4.11. If I upgrade to 10.5.8 (which I believe to be the final version of Leopard) do people feel that overall my Mac will run (& feel as if it's running) more quickly or more slowly?
My experience with Macs (17 years worth) tells me that, other things being equal, a newer OS normally slows down a given set of hardware. Also, according to the graphic on this page, the guts of Leopard appear to be very similar to Tiger. However I'm hoping against the odds that in this case Leopard might give me a speed boost.
I can't think of any features that Leopard has that Tiger doesn't that I'd like to use or that I feel I'm missing out on. It's just a possible speed boost I'm after, along with compatibility with the odd utility etc. that requires 10.5 or higher.
My main application usage at the moment is as follows: Microsoft Entourage 2008 (version 12.2.7) for email (although this may change - see my Topic here), Safari 4.1.3 for web browsing (& also occasionally Firefox 3.6.12), iTunes 9.2, QuickTime Player 7.6.4, and also more demanding creative software - primarily Adobe's Creative Suite CS2 (although I'll probably be upgrading to CS3 in the next few months) and occasionally things like Final Cut Pro 5.0.4.
Many thanks.

Leopard makes a few improvements in performance over Tiger especially in the graphics and video area. Otherwise you would not notice any changes in speed.

Voice speed decreases when using ventrilo, LOTRO and so on.

Hi,
I have been using vent for about 6 months on a bootcamp blackbook from 2006 with realtek audio drivers without any hazzle at all.
Now I bought a new macbook pro which have Cirrus Logic HD audio drivers. If I pull up normal XP sound recorder program I hear my voice in normal speed when testing microphone. IF I start ventrilo and enable outgoing voice communications and do a test recording on XP sound recorder program my voice speed is decreased. Luckily that program has an increaser of 100% in effects settings and that turns my speech recorded back to normal.
This also happens when I play Lord of the Rings Online without ventrilo on - My theory is that when there is two applications wanting to use the mic it decreases like it splits up as in Vent + (normal windows use) or LOTRO + (normal windows use).
This is very annoying as it makes voice chat impossible since its in ultra slow.
Please if anyone have any suggestions as to how to turn something off to make it only register 1 use of mic or any info u need let me know.
Tested with a headset with microphone and same deal (non-usb headset)

Hello every1,
i have the same Issue in ventrilo. My voice is so slow when i talk. but when i installed Skype my voice sounds normal and i think its better than Ventrilo.
am using Skype instead of vent when i play Arena in wow. when i have Raids i get into Vent just to listen to my guild buddys.

KT880 DELTA mainboard and 2D speed decrease

Hi there!!
I have upgraded mainboard from MSI K7T266 Pro2-A to MSI KT880 DELTA.
After that upgrade, speed of 2D Graphics radically decreased. I was trying to change values of AGP in BIOS (Speed, Fastwrite), but really nothing helped.
It is really annoying. The screen is scrolling, everything is drawing very slow. I am working with 2D graphics...
I have GeForce 2 MX400. (I am working in 2D, so i don't need to buy new card)
Is some possibility to fix this problem?
Thank You a lot.

Didn't quite understand if you did the Repair install of Windows, with the following updates. Please have as little hard ware as possible when doing this. Add PCI-cards etc afterwards.
Here is where you can do a 5 minute check of your system:
http://www.pcpitstop.com/
Another thing you should consider is the antivirusprogram. Try having it disabled. Also have a try-out while in SafeMode.
Edit: As Dr Stu advices:
Codegen makes silent both 350 and 400 Watt PSUs. Please say a bit more on what PSU you got.
Edit: Went to PCPitstop myself for a check of the 2D results. Hrm, I don't want to brag, but... To explain, the first list of numbers is for the score, the second the resolution, the third how many tested PCs with that config, and finally the name and model of the graphics card.

Leopard Speed

Hi,
I have an iBook G4 14" with 512MB RAM (Mid 2005) and I'm thinking of installing Leopard on it. What has been people's experience with running Leopard on 512 RAM. Ok? or too slow. I've got the new Office 2008 on it at the moment and it takes for ever to open up and get started. I'm hoping that Leopard would make it a bit faster? I have no idea. I'm a complete noob when it comes to Macs, so any help would be awesome. Thanks
Also, for some reason every time I get the pinwheel of death when I go on the apple site... why?

Put at least another 512 RAM in there and you should be OK. Make sure your hard drive is not full more than 3/4 as well, that can slow things down. 512 is enough for Mac OS X but not to run office as well IMO. memory will greatly speed things up for you. If you can get 1.5 or 2Gb that would be even better. What speed is your G4 if it's 867mhz or less, it won't run leopard. For older models like that, you may be better off staying with 10.4, which is an excellent OS as well. If it's a 1.5Ghz G4 or something of that kind of speed, you should be fine with leopard, as long as you get the extra RAM put in - 512 RAM should be reasonably cheap by the way, and will make a big difference.
Oh another thing, unless you really need M S office... Apples iWork is really excellent, we have completely got rid of MS office here at work thank god, and good riddence. I never miss it one bit in fact I find the iWork way of working is vastly superior and you can open word, excel and powerpoint docs with pages, numbers, and keynote. If you need full ms compatibility, try openoffice.org - it's a free package you can download open source software that is compatible. Don't pay for MS stuff unless you have a really compelling reason to do so (and these days most people don't have one anymore).

Max download speed decreased on my line.

Since the recent maintenance that BT made on their broadband service (on the weekend just gone I beleive) to "improve their broadband service" my ADSL line status downstream now reads 4,544 kpbs (capped at 0.2mbps on speed tests) When it has always been at 14,000kpbs+ since I had the line installed with no problems until this. I am a BT unlimeted customer (for a over a year with the same line and am paying my full bill for speeds that are currently only a fraction of what they have always been! I can no longer stream HD videos on the web or even watch anything on my BT vision box. Its like I'm recieving an option 1 service while paying for a option 3 service.
I called up the techys and had a 20 minute conversation which resulted in nothing except "wait 4 hours then turn off your router" as well as being told to remove my own socket cover from the wall ( I shouldnt have to do this!). I'm thoroughlly annoyed as I have jsut returned home after a night shift and have nothing to do because of the utterly abissimal speeds im getting.
Is there anyone here that can try and calrify what the problem might be please? or just tell me that my suspicions are right and BT has ruined my line suring maintenace.
Here is my ADSL line status from my router settings (that when referenced to techys seem to think I'm making stuff up...) http://screensnapr.com/v/R8SWBX.png

welcome to the forum
connecting to the test socket is a way to make sure your router has the best connection to the exchange and also eliminates any noise on your line from your extension wiring
looking at your stats your connection time is <24hrs is that due to the router resetting or you resetting trying to get speed backl?
I think there have been numerous disconnections in a short space of time and you are now in a banded profile (nothing to do with ip profile) and if you just remain connected 24/7 for 3+ days the banding should release automatically and your connection speed will return
if you get 3+ days on your connection time and speed is still 4544 then contact the mods to get you out the banded profile http://bt.custhelp.com/app/contact_email/c/4951

Internet Speed Decrease

A few days ago, I dropped my MBP off at a Apple store to see why the keyboard and track pad were unresponsive. The genius there told me he would swap out the Airport card and replace it with a new one. Know that before this whole insident occured, my internet was blazing fast. However now that I have my computer back fixed, the internet is very slow. I feel like i'm connected to dial up sometimes. I use an Airport Extreme Base at my house and using N-Networking so I'm not sure why this is happening. Can anyone help out or tell me what to do?

I've had my line slowly throttled down from a 3.4 Mb/s provision to now 2.1 Mb/s. I'm pretty sure it's the ASSIA optimizer (de-optimizer is probably more apropos) because it doesn't increase your line speed, it only serves to reduce it further & further.
I get short power outages or blinks in electricity during the summer time and what I notice is that either the modem quickly reboots or I have to turn it off and back on for it to synchronize. Once the ASSIA system senses that I'm reconnecting, it thinks I'm having a problem and keeps bringing me down. One occasion I tried a different gateway modem to see and since I had to turn off and back on everything, I was further throttled down.
How to get get this to stop permanently and have my line set back to at least 3.4 Mb/s. I know this works fine because I have months and months of Speedtest.net results saved and I was fine all that time getting actual 2.90 Mb/s on the provisioned 3.4 Mb/s DSL line.
Help!

Speed decrease, ping increase!

I know there's more threads containing the same problem, but I feel another thread should be created. More so for the BT team to take note.
Since the weekend, from 6:00 p.m. onwards my speed is dropping dramatically. I am unable to stream any content without it buffering ridiculous amounts, pages are taking forever to load; sometimes not at all.
I have done numerous speed tests. The servers on SpeedTest.net that are in Bristol are giving me stupidly high pings and awful speeds. Sometimes as little as 1Mb! Yet the upload seems not as affected.
The BT Wholesale Speed test gives me slightly better, but has also given me speed as low as 1Mb. When I connect to a server in London on SpeedTest.net I do get a lot better results, albeit not the speed I usually get.
I can't comment on what the speed is like throughout the day as I am at work, but it seems to be fine when I get in, but like I said, from 6:00 p.m. onwards it plays up.
From what I've read, it seems to be only the South West that is getting these problems as I live in Weston-super-Mare and the other people posting are having problems in the surrounding areas.
Let's hope it gets sorted soon! I am not paying for a service which is slower than ADSL at peak times.

Speed Decrease = Studdering?

I've been working with some slow motion for the first time and have searched these forums for a solution. I know some people have recommended "tweeder" and some other 3-party apps, but I'm not really interested in importing/exporting footage like that.
Does anyone know why when I reduce the speed in my clip to about 50% or below, it studders? I do have the "Frame Blending" box ticked.
Is there another filter to apply?

If you think about what you are asking FCP to do, you won't be surprised with the result you get when slowmo-ing. When you slow something down, you are asking FCP to take the same amount of information (the original frames) and spread it farther.
The best setting to avoid uneven stuttering is an even multiple of frame rates. Frames are quantum entities and if you set an non-discreet amount the software must create an in-between frame of a mixture of the preceding and following frames. So if you set your speed to an even multiple - 300%, 200%, or a proper fraction - 50%, 33.333%, 25%, 12.5% (this equates to 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/8) you will get better results.
But still, you've only got the information from the original frames. Compressor/Twixtor/Shake all do better frame interpolations (optical flow analysis) at the expense of complication and long render times. The best way to achieve slow mo is to shoot it in slow mo.
