Macbook Air md 2011, slow wireless

I've noticed something today something strange. I was surfing on internet with my macbook air 11 and I've started to notice that speed is slow. Than I've measured speed with speedtest.net and it shows 5 mbps while my internet speed is 10 mbps. I was at that moment in the room which is one floor beneath the floor where router is, and I was about 15 m air line far (through) the floor away from the router. After I took my Air to the floor above, where router is, and go close to about 7-10 m speed returned to original values, 10 mbps. Than I tried again to go downstairs, and speed again dropped. Is this normal behavior? Should I be worried? I am using Mountain lion, upgraded from Lion.

It's normal for bandwidth to decrease with distance from the station, and when there are obstacles in the line of sight. Different antennas have different characteristics. Interference can also affect devices differently if they're on different channels.

  • Macbook Air (Mid 2011) Wired/Wireless DHCP issues

    All,
    I have been attempting to fix a nagging problem with my brand new MBA 'Ultimate' - while at home it connects fine wirelessly and I do not experience any issues (note this is the first SSID it has ever connected to) I have not been able to connect to my office's wireless - I do not pull a DHCP address or connect. In an attempt to rule out the wireless issues everyone has, I purchased the 10/100 Apple RJ-45 (ethernet) adapter and have attempted this morning to connect via a known working patch cable.
    The wired connection fails to pull a DHCP address as well!
    I have followed wifiguru's posts and attempted to disable the firewall, reset the SMC, reset the PRAM, delete the offending plists, changed the network order, etc.
    I do not believe my issue lies on my computer network as multiple other iOS and OSX devices can connect (that are Lion as well)
    Admittedly, I have not attempted to go to another third party wireless location (Starbucks, McD's, etc) but for the wired connection to fail as well and my home wireless (802.11n) connection to work leads me to think I am missing something. I do not believe I should have to reboot my work's wireless router to accept me as a client as well - especially since the wired does not connect.
    Any thoughts?
    Cliffs:
    - mid-2011 MBA Ultimate
    - wireless works at home network (802.11n) - gets DHCP address
    - wireless doesn't work at work (802.11b/g) - no DHCP address
    - wired doesn't work at work (apple adapter) - no DHCP address
    - firewall off/on doesn't matter
    - deleted problematic plists, no change
    I also feel I should add, I'm not computer illiterate by any stretch of the imagination and have used OSX products in the past.

    Really?
    No input at all?

  • How do I download Windows 7 64 bit drivers for my new MacBook Air (Mid 2011) from a Windows 7 PC?

    How do I download Windows 7 64 bit drivers for my new MacBook Air (Mid 2011)? I have already formated the HD and preformed a clean install of Windows 7. Perhaps I did this too early. I have read I need to install the drivers from my OS X DVD, however, OS X Lion does not come on a DVD! I've also read that I can download OS X Lion from the App Store and burn it to a DVD, however, all I have are Windows PCs which don't support the Mac App Store.
    Is there no way for me to download these drivers from a Windows PC?  I know they exist.  However, you are supposed to download them through Boot Camp in OS X when you are creating a new Windows 7 installation.  I'm I stuck?

    I am pretty disappointed in the lack of documentation.
    This is the Apple Support page for Boot Camp:
    http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    No mention anywhere of Lion, of 4.0/4.01
    In the past, 10.6.6+ was suppose to - and sometimes did - provide for a download drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant program, in order to save them to flash or such (that should be about 1GB, too large for CD). Some macs req'd a USB-DVD or other driver that was needed pre-install of Winidows
    You don't install Apple drivers until after Windows is installed otherwise,
    It is possible for me, with a tower, to run w/o needing any drivers from Apple. But with laptops, mini, you do need some drivers from Apple for graphics, internet, wireless, SMC support.
    And right now, loading any Apple support Tech Note articles is very very slow.
    People keep asking why Apple can't post 3.0 or 4.0 like they do the updates. Only logic is to force t he download from inside OS X or from an OS X DVD. Otherwise would be here, and avoid all the trouble. they aren't of use on a PC, and any PC motherboard vendor does post their support software for download.

  • Suddenly my MacBook Air is very slow to boot up. I'm running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63). Any tips? Thanks!

    Suddenly my MacBook Air is very slow to boot up. It's about a year and a half old. I'm running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) -- and I'm far from being an expert at any of this stuff, have seen a few different answers and not sure what to do. Help! Grateful.

    Okay, I am having a try at this. My machine wouldn't boot this morning again (like I said, it's erratic, so I then did a "safe boot" and restarted. This is what I think (I hope...) you want. Here's the first part, tho you'll see I am struggling with Part 2.

    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports.
    BUT -- when I go into "System diagnostic reports" (and I have checked I'm clicking on the correct one) there's nothing in the log to the right, even when I click the arrow pointing down. Below that, on the left, it says FILES and then below that there's
    system.log
    kernel.log
    and then /Library/logs (twice) and /var/logs
    What am I doing wrong?
    Grateful for help.

  • My Macbook Air is running slow with Yosemite.

    My Macbook Air is running slow with Yosemite.
    I checked out most of the blogs and everything and have removed widgets from the notification center, but everything seems to run kinda slowly.
    Sure, i have the base model 2014 macbook air but that 4 gb ram should run a freakin finder just fine. I had Mavericks installed before, and with that, i could do everything. I even made cool music in GarageBand and nothing was lagging for me. Now i installed Yosemite... Everything is lagging. Scrolling seems like it happens around 10 FPS. That aint good man. Memory cleaner says around 1gb ram free when only the finder is running in the background (before it did around 2). I just uninstalled Memory Cleaner o I'm not looking at that little amount of memory. I don't know what to do now? I would appreciate it, if someone would help me. Otherwise, ill just wait for a new update.

    Since it's new I would take it back for repair or exchange under your warranty before bothering to read further.
    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.
    5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Macbook Air 2014 unbearable slow

    Ever since I updated to Yosemite back in October, my macbook air has been so god **** slow. I can't get **** done on it, and my fans are overheating all the time. When I start IntelliJ, the CPU overclocks itself to 300%, same goes for photoshop. I can't even get anything done on my laptop anymore, and using an exernal screen is almost not worth it because of all the lag on the graphics and overall performance. It feels like I'm using this laptop back in 2008 with 2003 hardware and ADSL internet.
    Problem description:
    Macbook Air is generally slow, the animations are laggy, safari is unbearable slow and I can’t have Photoshop and safari on at the same time for example without suffering so much lag, and the fan starting to go on.

  • MacBook Air 2010 Very Slow (even after clean reinstall)

    Hi,
    Problem
    The performance of my Macbook Air 2010 has slowed to the point where I can hardly complete basic tasks. For comparison, I use a MacBook Air 2013 at work and do not experience the same performance issues, so I believe my expectations are not unreasonably high.
    My Question
    Can you please advise on what I can do to troubleshoot? I've tried the solutions listed below, all of which have failed.
    I'm grateful for any help you can offer.
    Problem Description
    Switching contexts or tabs, operating within applications (such as Chrome, small Excel spreadsheets, navigating files), and browsing the Internet has become a slow, laggy and crash-filled experience.
    When right-clicking an icon and selecting 'Open With', Finder frequently times out or requires time to populate a list of applications.
    Machine is slow to the point where, unless a solution presents itself, I'll have to get a new MacBook Air.
    What I've Tried
    'Religiously' close all applications after use; extremely conscientious of number of applications running and their resource requirements.
    Clean reinstall of OS X.
    Storing all media on external hard drive to create more storage space.
    Clearing cache for all browsers regularly
    Always running machine on battery power
    Regular reboots
    Machine Specs:
    MacBook Air 13-inch, Late 2010
    OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.2
    Processor: 2.13 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory: 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB
    Storage: 87GB free of 250GB

    Thanks, dominic23.
    Unfortunately, it did not work.
    -Tried starting in safe mode, resetting SMC, and repairing disk. Resetting the SMC helped upon reboot, but performance degraded swiftly and back at a low within 30-minutes.

  • MacBook Air 13'' - extremely slow!!

    Hello everyone,
    I have a Macbook Air mid 2011.
    i7 1800 Mhz
    4GB RAM
    250GB Samsung SSD
    At first the computer was extremely fast, but today it is as sluggish as ****! It is especially noticeable in folowing applications:
    Mail - almost unusable, extremely sluggish when scrolling through mails, list or details. I had 600k mails, i deleted everything and set the account up new, no difference!!
    Safari - just having it open sometimes peaks CPU usage to 60-70% for no reason, even scrolling Google results is slow!
    iWorks (Pages, Numbers, you name it) - normal writing in Pages is slow, I write 5 words and an umbrella starts spinning while it's Autosaving
    Three-Finger scrolling between virtual desktops or fullscreen Apps - the animation is sluggish IF the Dock is on the bottom, if i put it on the left/right it is fluent and fast
    etc.
    I have tried to do the folowing:
    Verify/Repair permisions
    Verify/Repair disk
    Reinstall Lion
    Completely format the harddisk and make a clean Lion install
    Delete all the Apps I had installed, try it with only preinstalled Apps
    Updating Lion to latest release
    NOTHING of the above helped, I have a MacBook Pro mid 2010 and it works much better!!
    Please help,
    Thank you!

    After trying every possible solution I could find on Google (NRAM reset, Verify/Repair Disk and Permissions, Clean Install, Reinstall, Restore from Time Machine etc.) and nothing helped, with my Mac behaving the way it is, the conclusion is that they f**ucked something up with drivers in the latest MacOS update.
    Scrolling anything (Safari webpage, Mail list etc.) isn't fluid but jumping around, just like on Windows when you do a fresh install and graphic card drivers aren't installed (it's running on some Default Windows drivers).
    The problem is most probably in the Intel HD Graphics 3000. Eighter it needs a firmware or driver update. Every time I make a move that is graphically demanding (even dragging around windows) peeks my CPU usage to 100% (windowserver process goes nuts), probably because of no graphic acceleration, the CPU has to do all the work.
    Altho, an i7 should go**amn be able to handle Safari webpages scrolling.

  • MacBook Air 13" 2011 Bluetooth Issues

    I recently upgraded from a MacBook late 2007 to a MacBook Air 13" 2011. Both systems were running Lion GM, and I transferred all my data from the old machine to new using the Migration Assistant that started on first boot on the new machine.
    I'm having some weird issues with Bluetooth. I have a Magic Mouse, and when I open the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, it shows a list of Devices and Types, but all the devices show the Hardware ID (MAC address) only, not the device name (even for others like Printers/Smartphones). If I add the mouse from here, it works fine, but in the Bluetooth menu under devices it shows the MAC address of the device only instead of Apple Wireless Mouse, and it does not give me any battery information, just an option to disconnect.
    The Bluetooth seems to have problems getting the names of any Bluetooth devices, and just shows everything by MAC address.
    If I open the Bluetooth preferences, and I choose the mouse and go to Update Services it then shows it as an Apple Wireless Mouse but I still can't get any battery info. Also, after the computer reboots or if I disconnect/reconnect the mouse it again shows using the Bluetooth MAC address only. The Update Name option seems to have no effect.
    Also, before doing the Update Services thing the computer doesn't even seem to know what type of device it is.

    Wow, same problem - brand new, 2011 13" MacBook Air and also used migration assistant.
    Here's what I see:
    (1) Bluetooth Preferences - check box on (and I'm able to uncheck it), Discoverable box is dimmed and not checkable.
    (2) Discoverable box can be "auto-checked" if bluetooth sharing is turned on, but the Discoverable checkbox still remains dimmed.
    (3) All Bluetooth paired items (when I can get them to be paired) show up as hex addresses only - no names.
    Called and talked with Apple Support - they suggested this:
    (1) reset PRAM and SMC - did that, no change
    (2) Then they suggested to create a new user and see if the bluetooth issues follow to the new user - they did.
    (3) So based on that, they suggested to boot (command-r) and re-install using the Recovery Option - I have not done that yet and I'm hesitant to do this because I believe that this will not fix the problem.
    Some things I did that they did not suggest:
    (1) Ran Repair Disk Permissions - no change.
    (2) moved /var/root/Library/Preferences/blued.plist to something else and then restarted "blued" - no change.
    For #2 - you'll need to do it this way - if you think this will make a difference:
    sudo mv -f /var/root/Library/Preferences/blued.plist /var/root/Library/Preferences/blued_bak.plist
    sudo killall blued
    this will create a new blued.plist file - do this to see that:
    sudo ls -l /var/root/Library/Preferences
    You should see your old backed up copy and the newly created one.

  • MacBook Air (Mid 2011) doesn't charge

    I have a MacBook Air (Mid 2011) and it won't charge the battery when I plug it to the wall adapter.
    No matter what i do the light on the L shaped connector magsafe doesnt light up.
    After a few tries, a few minutes, or even a few hours it just works..and I don't know why, or what to do to make it work all the time.
    I tried resetting the SMC (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964), followed every step, but it doesn't help.
    I dont know if the problem is in the MagSafe Power Adapter, or if it is in the MacBook Air MagSafe Connector.
    Here is a video of me trying to connect it to the Power Adapter without success:    
    http://youtu.be/3rRko1VncoE
    Then 30 minutes later it is working again:
    http://youtu.be/j4x3YxWZzAA
    This time was 30 minutes, but there sometiimes is much, much longer before I get it to work..
    What sloud i do?
    My mac is still in the warranty period. If i take it to an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP), will they change the faulty component for free?
    (Where I live, in portugal, there are no official Apple Stores..so i can't go to one).

    I also have a mid '11 Macbook Air and this exact same thing is happening to me with the charger. Tonight scared me because it would not start charging for a long time. Fortunately I still had battery power left.
    Guess I need to go to the Apple Store
    I did not have the same problem again..don't know why, but here is what I think:
    The mac doesn't charge because it doesn't recognise the charger or the other way around..
    Last time this happened I just let the computer connected to the charger, and the charger plugged in the wall, and left it there overnight. The next morning it was fully charged, with the green light on the connector.
    After this, there was only 2/3 times that when I plugged the charger it wouldn't do anything, so I just started working normaly on the mac and after a few minutes it started to charge. That first time it took 30 minutes to start. On another ocasion it only took 2 minutes. And after that was just a few seconds. Now it is behaving normaly. When I plug it, the connector turns green after 1/2 seconds.
    So, if you have this problem, try just leaving it there..while you work on it, or while you sleep. It seems eventually it will start working. In my case it "solved" the problem, as it isn't happening anymore.. (I hope forever..)
    It's not really a solution..but if it works for you too, great! Good luck!

    Does the printer appear in the window so you can select it?
