MacBook Air Wifi is extremely slow

My MacBook Air - Late 2010 version is extremely slow when loading pages. (Takes around 2 minutes to load Google)........I have tried using my internet on different wifi networks, my bluetooth is not turned on, I have reset numerous settings, I literally want to pull my hair out because I haven't been able to use my MacBook for 4 days straight.

  • Wifi is extremely SLOW

    I'm not sure what's going on. My wifi is extremely slow. I know it's not the network, I have a PC hooked up via ethernet and it runs fast/normal. I also have a NAS on it, and the drives are mounted, sometimes. Often, it'll fail to make a connection to them. Again, the NAS shows up fine on the PC. I'm not sure why my macbook pro has such slow wifi; my previous mac ran fine and I haven't tinkered with anything in the network.

    I have two routers both work fine. Only thing that has issues is the GS60 and GS70
    Updating firmware can solve/improve the compatibility issue.
    Quote from: Rostan;108706
    This guy is in the process of trouble shooting an issue with the Drivers and has not found a solution so there is nothing useful from this.
    Changing wifi connection to 802.11a/5GHz band can improve the download speed. I'd give that a try.
    The last issue he has is that his home router doesn't support 802.11a.

  • Mid-2012 MacBook Air WiFi Reconnect-Partial Solution

    The MacBook Air seems to have some significant WiFi issues for a lot of users. My issue is as follows: the MacBook will connect to any compatible WiFi hot-spot with no problems, and it will maintain the connection almost always. The problems come when I try to reconnect to the internet over the same WiFi hot-spot after waking up the MacBook. Even more frustratingly, the problem is not consistent. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. After some investigation, I have come to the conclusion that reconnection problems happen when:
    You wake the computer up from computer sleep (not display sleep or Power Nap)
    You are using a specific cable modem (the one I tested on was a Motorola SURFboard SBG6580 DOCSIS 3.0)
    You have not restarted your cable modem while your MacBook was asleep
    The MacBook Air will connect to the WiFi network (i.e., it can access other devices in the wireless LAN) when woken from computer sleep; it just will not connect to the internet
    The only way to get the connection back is to restart the cable modem. Restarting the MacBook, restarting your WiFi base station (in my case a brand new AirPort Time Capsule tower), having the MacBook forget the WiFi network and then reconnect--all do not work. But if I just restart the cable modem, the MacBook connects with no problems. This is a problem specific to the MacBook Air because none of my other devices ever have a problem connecting to the network after waking up from sleep (including a Lenovo ThinkPad E530c). As has been proposed in some of the many discussions about MacBook Air WiFi issues, I think it has to do with the bleeding-edge power saving modes that the MacBook Air enters in to when it goes to sleep. Apparently, the computer sleep mode will cause it to not be able to reconnect to the internet, so it seems to be some sort of incompatibility or bug between the MacBook Air and the cable modem--in my case, the Motorola SURFboard.
    So that's the problem, but I do have a partial solution while the engineers figure out a fix. Set the System Prefs > Energy Saver setting on the MacBook to never go into computer sleep (I set it only for Power Adapter, not Battery). In my case, this is a workable solution because I have my MacBook Air plugged in at home almost all the time. I have lived with these settings for a couple of days now and whenever I wake up my computer, it still has the internet connection and works as expected. And if for some reason I don't plug it in and it goes into computer sleep, I don't waste time troubleshooting. I just restart the cable modem and after a minute or so, the internet connection is re-established. I'd be curious to know how many cable modems this happens with, and if anyone has a fix having to do with cable modem settings (the Motorola SURFboard, to my knowledge, doesn't have a web app interface to tweak settings, perhaps because my cable company doesn't want me tweaking things, but I frankly have not spent any time researching that end of things).
    Hopefully this will help some MacBook Air owners (is this an issue with MacBook Pros?) that have this problem.
    Good luck!

    Have the same problem. Was OK for nearly two years then started two days ago.

  • My Macbook Pro is being extremely slow and shutting down because of different errors, what can I do to fix this?

    I need help!! My macbook pro is being extremly slow. When I try to open a program I get the colorful pin wheel but nothing is happening. It won't allow me to close the program. It is also shutting down saying that it had to restart due to an error, but I wont "show more" details. HELP!!

    It sounds like your MBP is having kernel panics.  Log one and post it for inspection.

  • Did macbook air mid 2009 running slow with mountain lion?

    did macbook air mid 2009 running slow with mountain lion?

    Yours is the first computer I've heard about on these forums that is attempting to run Mavericks with only 2GB of RAM.
    Indeed that is acceptable per the Mavericks requirements:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842
    ... but as you may know, Apple has not sold computers with as little as 2GB RAM for quite a while.
    I suggest therefore you make sure you remove any applications that may be overtaxing your machine.  Examples are browsers other than Safari, Mac cleaning products (such as Mac Keeper), or any other non-Apple app that has some startup process running (such as Outlook).

  • Is it worthwhile to load windows 7 onto my MacBook Air? Will it slow down my computer?

    Is it worthwhile to load windows 7 onto my MacBook Air? Will it slow down my computer? What might be the benefits of having windows and mavericks as two different operating systems side by side?

    Check out this article first. It deals with BootCamp vs Parallels Desktop but there are two other products: VMWare Fusion and VirtualBox that offer the same basic features as Parallels. So your first decision is which you prefer. As I said, I chose virtualization: Parallels Desktop in particular.
    You need a full retail version of Windows - If you live in the States try New Egg for the best price. This is what I bought. You'll need it whether you choose BootCamp or virtualization. Note that Win7 apparently isn't available via download from Microsoft any longer, only Win8 so you'll need access to an external optical drive or use remote dvd sharing with your Windows computer. I've not tried installing Windows using remote DVD sharing but I have installed other software that way so I'd expect it to work if you choose virtualization. If you choose BootCamp you'll need access to an external optical drive or create an ISO image of Windows on a large flash disk.

  • MacBook Air wifi internet shared network not working on tethered android phone GT B5122

    MacBook Air wifi internet shared network not working on tethered android phone GT B5122
    I have created a password protected wifi internet network on my Macbook air. I tethered by Andriod phone onto this network, but the internet connection works intermittently on the phone, and when it stops working the network continues to show as connected to the shared network mostly(other times it keeps renewing the wifi IP address on the Andriod phone).
    Also the network the MBA is connected to, is a hardwired one using a SSH login account in a student accomadations.
    I am not sure, but all the restarting and refreshing of system, phone and wifi sharing and re-enabling wifi is not reparing the internet connecting on the wifi network for the phone
    Really puzzled, if this is one of the Apple, Andriod compatability issues.
    Cheers,
    Vivek

    Hi.
    I'm having trouble with the wireless connection on my new home hub 3. Most devices will connect easily, but there are three devices that have trouble connecting. These are an Android Phone (Samsung Galaxy Mini), an android tablet (Sony Tablet S) and an iPod. All of these devices work perfectly on other network connections, and other devices in the house are quite happy connecting to the network.
    The Androids can see the network, and will try to connect to it, but when they do they just go through a loop of "connecting">>"acquiring IP address">>"disconnected". I have tried resetting the Home Hub with a pin, and that lets the devices connect for about 24 hours, but after that time they stop connecting again.
    I'm really not sure what to do to fix the problem, so I will very much appreciate some help.
    Many Thanks.
    My lads SGMini connects perfectly to our hub3
    Have you installed the BTFon app to these devices?
    If so, you could delete it and then see what hapens.....

  • Macbook air has suddenly become slow takes time to load any page

    My macbook air has suddenly become slow in loading pages whether they are on the net or if I am opening a page on the hard drive, need advise on what to do.

    what OS are you using?is that happening upon fresh restart?

  • My macbook is experiencing an extremely slow performance. Everytime I try to do something, the screen will freeze and the pinwheel symbol would appear. How do I pix this?

    My macbook is experiencing an extremely slow performance. Everytime i try to do something, the pinwheel symbol will pop up. I do not have an antivirus software until recently, which I got free from school and it said my mac has a virus, which has been quaratined. Unfortunately the problem still persist. Help?

    kasturi pryanka,
    your current slow performance might have been caused by installing that antivirus software. Have you tried disabling it, to see if that make a difference with its performance?

  • Is the New MacBook Air Wifi N Dual-Band or Single-Band?

    Is the New MacBook Air Wifi N Dual-Band or Single-Band? I cannot find any official information regarding this.
    I have a Dual-Band router up to 450+450 and I'd like to know if the Mac would make the most of what I have.
    Another related question would be… if the MacBook's Wifi could take up to 450mbs or would it only reach up to 300mbs?
    Thank you!

    Thank you Captfred for the quick clarification. A related question (and this might be obvious, I'm not sure) would be if the MBA uses single or dual antenna? I am not sure if N technologies always use dual antenna by default? The reason why I'd like to understand this is because I do watch quite a bit of streaming video. I supposed streaming through a single antenna could clog the connection quite a bit if at the same time I'm browsing other websites or download something else at the same time? While having two antennas would ease the communication by sending a request through one antenna and receiving the response through the other?
    Best,

  • Macbook Air wifi issue

    I have a problem with my macbook air. I can find easily my home network, and it usually works ok at the begining, but after some time, 5-10 minutes, it started to works very slow, or just stop responding at all. Than I cant open any page, cant download mail, or anything. Sometime if I move my macbook air to another location it starts to work again for some time, but sometimes that doesn't help either. Sometime it helps to turn wifi off, than on again, but that also works for some time, and than again it blocks. I had mac os x lion, and now I have mountain lion, and same problem occurs. I even reinstall mountain lion, because I thought maybe it's the software issue, but it happening again. Today I changed my router, because before I had one with only B\G, and now I took one with N standard, because I thought this happening because of old router, but it happened today again.
    Could this be a hardware issue? Should I bring it to apple store, and what can I expect? Would they give me another one if this is hardware issue, or I would get refurbished one, or they will try to repair this one? I don't know what to do.

    With the help of Apple Support this problem seems to be cured.
    Here is a summary of the steps that they took me through:-
    In Settings>Network>
    Click on Gear Wheel beside +- at bottom of list of network services, select "Set Service Order" and check that WiFi is at the top of the list.
    Click on Advanced and select DNS tab. Click on + at bottom of DNS Servers List and enter 8.8.8.8
    In WiFi tab check that your preferred network is at the top of the list.
    Apply any changes that have been made and switch off.
    Reset SMC and NVRAM/PRAM
    Check that there are no channel conflicts with other wifi networks.

  • IMac Time Capsule OK, Macbook Air Time Capsule Very Slow, both 10.9.5

    I am struggling for more than a week trying to find an answer, but failed, hope someone can help me out
    It seems after I upgraded to 10.9.5, a message on my Macbook appeared that I believe advised me to do a new full back-up on my Time Capsule. I did, it was slow, few MB after 1 hour or so, so I cancelled it. Whatever I tried, it remains a problem, I am now backing up 180GB to a 2TB Time Capsule, and it is at 53GB after 10 hours, now running at about 1GB/3 hours. My iMac, also on 10.9.5, connected to the very same Time Capsule on the same network runs smoothly, backing up 850GB in 8 hours or so.
    What I have done so far, that did not help:
    - Reformatted my Time Capsule completely,
    - Run Disk Utility on Macbook, Repair Disk permission, Repair Disk.
    - After Repair Disk Permissions it completes OK, but when I immediately run it again if finds the same problems, which it says have been corrected, see screenshot
    - Disconnected my iMac from the network, sticked the very same network cable in my MacBook, ran Time Machine again, no difference
    My set up:
    1x Macbook Air, mid 2002, 250GB of which 70GB free space, 10.9.5, no anti-virus, clean-up apps etc
    1x iMac, beginning 2009, 1TB of which 150GB free space, 10.9.5, no anti-virus, clean-up apps etc
    1x Time Capsule 2TB, running latest firmware 7.6.4
    All networked to the same network, no wireless connections
    Prior to 10.9.5 I did not have this problem. I am pretty much lost. Anybody?

    USB to ethernet has never been great.. although why it is worse with 10.9.5 is typical quality of apple upgrades these days.
    7GB/hr sure aint fast.. it will go fairly slowly over the small files but should speed up on the larger ones.
    I would take another step.. since you have come this far..
    Check your wireless link speed. Depending on the age of the TC (yours in gen4) and the air.. you link speed should show 450mbps in the wifi on the mac.
    Check it now..
    Transmit rate should show 450.. you might need to setup close to the TC to get it.
    But I achieve that by setting different names for the two bands.. TC24ghz and TC5ghz.
    By default my mac will choose 2.4ghz .. because it is based on the best signal not the best speed. On 2.4ghz it can achieve 217Mbps max. Usually it will drop to 130. So by using a different name I can force the connection to the highest speed.
    As you can probably tell.. IMHO using auto for everything is a great way to get things to work.. but how well they work is optimised by a committee.
    Setting all the factors myself I set what I want and produce a racehorse instead of a camel.
    (It is a typical joke.. camel is a horse designed by a committee!!).

  • After updating to Yosemite 10.10.2, macbook air Wifi does not work. What to do?

    I upgraded from Maverick  to Yosemite in Nov 2014 & my mack book air 2011 model became slow. Yesterday after downloading & updating 10.10.2,  Wifi does not work, it prompted Gatway Time out. Anybody can help please? Dr. Mostafa

    Moreover I am to add, in the same network, windows PC Wifi works & more interestingly Macbook with Maverick also connects with the same Wifi, I mean to say this is the problem with Yosemite 10.10.2. Before updating on Sunday last, my Wifi was working nicely.

  • Macbook Air internet connection painfully slow with ethernet.....

    Hi all
    I am currently staying in a serviced apartment and have a Macbook Air that I have had to connect to the in-house LAN through the USB port (someone on here was kind enough to suggest this - I'm a bit of beginner at all this!). The connection is painfully slow (it claims to be connected but pages in safari don't load, iTunes won't load etc.), but the ancient IBM pc on Windows XP conencts through the same at a good speed.
    I am also in a wifi environment but my Macbook Air doesn't connect to anything - it keeps timing out (even when it can recognise several unsecured networks). Can anyone advise?
    Message was edited by: kaythomson

    Mine is slow too! The Charter tech was here for four hours today, redoing the entire building. Every other Mac and PC here are up to speed. The new Mac Pro Octo has never been up to speed. I really don't have time to put hours into what I suspect will be a dead end. Apple needs to look into this and help us out.
