Mavericks - Internet unusable if copying anything over WiFi

Have just done a clean install of Mavericks.
I have a NAS, over wireless, and have found that if I am copying anything over WiFi that the internet becomes unusable. If I open Safari it will sit and not even open the homepage (Google) until the file copy has completed.
I have checked internet speed (when copy is not going, can't even do so when a copy is running)and my internet speeds are completly normal.
I think file copy to the NAS might be slower than usual, but this could just be my imagination.
Wireless network running through a Time Capsule (the older flat style rather than the new tower shape).
Hopefully this is not a repeat question, I can't find it asked elsewhere.
Any ideas what might be happening? This isn't a subtle diference, it literally means I can't do anything at all on the net if I have a file copying.
Thanks

Hi, I have just transferred all my files from my iMac to my MBA 13" wirelessly and it certainly didn't adversely affect performance you get 90 days free support give apple a ring.

Airport Express 2nd gen will connect to the internet through LAN but not over wifi?

Interesting issue, I can stream Apple TV connected to the LAN port, send Airplay music to my receiver from my iphone, but cannot access the internet over wifi. So it's not Comcast, it has to be the Airport Express, but not ALL of the Airport Express, just the part that sends the internet signal. Is that even possible? I've restarted reset (hard and soft), re-setup, and unplugged everything 100 times, but to no avail. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Ok, thank you.
I know you already tried a number of resets, but please give the following a try to verify that you can get basic Internet access via a wireless connection to the Express from any of your wireless network clients.
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

Brand new iPod touch won't do anything over WiFi

My iPod touch arrived in the mail this morning and since I charged it up it either a) browses extremely slow in Safari and then quits or b) continues to claim there is no network connection.
I currently have it downgraded to WEP and now nothing works, Mail, Safari, not even the Weather app will update. YouTube has never worked at all.
I'm on 2.1.1 software and have since discovered this forum is full of WiFi problems. Needless to say I am very dissatisfied with this and had I known the iPod touch is absolutely useless for WiFi I would've saved $100 and just got a nano instead.

Hi. I read through this thread and many others (seems many people have problems connecting iPod Touches to the internet) and have tried to connect my iPod touch. I have a Linksys WRT5G V8 router, a Zyxel -600 Series modem, a PC running windows xp, and a MacBook. My PC and Macbook run fine. My iPod touch does not.
I have updated the firmware. I have made a full bridge connection. I have restored my iPod. I have power cycled the modem and router.
If you will bear with me, I will now post what my setting are on my router with the hopes someone will be able to help me make a connection with my iPod. I should point out that like others, I am able to connect to the internet, but not download any pages or send/receive mail.

So....by looking at the above, can someone please tell me what to do to make the iPod touch connect to the internet and download pages?
I have spent hours upon hours and then more hours trying to make this thing work. I paid and additional fee to Linksys to have them troubleshoot the problem but the first guy i spoke with said I had to do the bridge connection so we hung up and when he called back, I was out and he never called back so I called Linksys. Despite the fact that I explained how I had spoken with an advanced tech, the man would not transfer me and insisted my problem was solved because my pc, laptop, and iPod did connect to the network -- never mind the fact that 1 of the three didn't work properly which was the sole purpose of my phone call to begin with.
I would really like to get the iPod going -- my daughter just bought her's and is anxiously looking forward to being able to use it.
In closing, I'm wondering if I should give up with this particular router and buy a new one...but which new one? The Apple tech recommended either an Airport Extreme or Airport Express -- has anyone had success connecting these to iPod Touches?????
Thanks!

Hi my iphone won't sync any music at all. It gets stuck at the 2nd song saying the song is not there to be copied but it is and it doesnt copy anything over. I'm using an iphone 3GS (4.3.3) and up to date itunes. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi
I'm using a 3GS (4.3.3) and itunes 10 2.2.12
When trying to sync my music my phone begins the syncing process, back up and preparing etc. Once it begins actually syncing it seems to get stuck on song 2 of 1500. After about 5-10mins a message appears saying song 2 of 1500 can not be copied because it can not be copied or read. Thats it. It doesn't try to sync the rest it just stops. The music is definitely available and it seems to have no problems syncing any podcasts. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Remove the song in question from the sync list and see if the rectifies the problem.
If it does, then iTunes believes the song no longer exists on your drive and that will need to be corrected.

Orange UK skype over wifi

Is anyone using Skype on an Orange UK iphone.
I'm just trying to establish whether i would be able to use Skype over wifi before purchasing one.
Read some reports that it’s barred and the sales reps in the Orange store would only confirm that Skype is not supported.

I have an iPhone 4 on Orange UK, and Skype works perfectly over wifi, which is hardly surprising as anything over wifi is not carrier-dependent. However, using Skype over 3G is another story. Orange's 3G bandwidth is so low at times, sometimes as slow as dial-up, that you can't hear what each other are saying on a Skype call. Chatting over 3G usually works fine though, given the much lower bandwidth requirement.

TS1398 Having trouble accessing the internet over wifi on my iPhone 5.

Hello, I have a nearly brand new iPhone 5 in perfect condition. So far, I have had not problems with it, however recently, I have had major issues connecting to the internet over wifi. Some things that would happen would be apps that require an internet connection time out, and pages don't load in safari, and the reliabilty would be off and on.However after switching the wifi off and going off of my 4g, the connection was fast and I experianced no problems. I am positive this is not a problem with my home network, because my household had lots of people and LOTS of electronic devices that connect to the internet with no problem. I also have an ipod touch 4th generation that has been able to connect and browse the internet with no problem, it's just the iPhone that is being slow. Also, this isn't really a consistant pattern, occasionaly I will get it to work for like five minutes with no problems then it just time out on whatever it's doing.
Any help would be appreciated.

Well it might still be the Mavericks Wifi issue... slow throughput on an apparently strong signal is part of its behavior from what I've read. So to recap You got a signal (fairly Strong) appeared to be connected but Safari could not display the welcome page.
I'll share something I do in a case like that. I use Firefox. I keep a copy of Firefox, Opera and Chrome on my laptop because some sites use non-standard web code and the different browsers "play" better with the server/router. Safari is a lot better than it was when it first stared out but there are some sites put together (especially financial sites) that just won't let Safari play (they can code to prevent that).
If you have time between flights download Firefox and give it a shot... at this you have nothing to lose.
Good Luck.

Macbook Pro, update to Mavericks - internet sharing unstable (ethenet - WiFi)

Macbook Pro, update to Mavericks ->internet sharing unstable (ethenet -> WiFi)

Thanks, indeed there's not a lot there.
I was thinking that there might be a network reset option on my Snow Leopard Mac Book, like I've had a to do a time or two on my iOS devices that suddenly stop seeing the internet. Since I didn't know what that is, I set up a clean TEST user account. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to change anything, so perhaps the internet network settings are global. Any ideas how to reset the network settings and clear them out completely?
Hard to believe that there could be something so different between Mavericks and Snow Leopard as far as common network protocols are concerned that allows one to be plug and play and the other to connect to the network but not see the internet. Could it be the hardware? A 2007 MacBook vs. a 2011 MacBook Pro?

TS3899 Our CEO has an iPhone and an iPad. Everytime he is at a specific airport (BWI) he is unable to send or recieve email over 4G or wifi. Everything else seems to work just fine over wifi or 4G LTE. Has anyone ever seen anything similar? is this malwar

Our CEO has an iPhone and an iPad. Everytime he is at the Baltimore Washington Airport (BWI) he is unable to send or recieve email over 4G or wifi. Everything else seems to work just fine over wifi or 4G LTE. Has anyone ever seen anything similar? is this malware?
Both devices are on Verizons 4G LTE network. Both devices do have some of the same APPS installed. Can this be a case of him connecting to a rogue wifi network of a hacker that may have installed malicious code on his devices when he connected? That would explain why only his devices have the same exact issue only at BWI airport.

Something similar I've experienced. I was once having to use a AT&T hotspot and the iPad simply refused to access my mail via the mail app. But if I used safari I could get it. So the internet was working, but my supposition is that something with the hotspot's firewall messes with mail exchange.
next time your boss is at BWI, do you guys have a web interface? (for example if I wanted to access my work mail I could get them to set it up via the mail app and exchange, or I could go to a certain web address and access my mail that way via safari)
He could try using safari and the web interface if you have it.
If it's something in the hotspot's firewall I doubt it's anything that can be changed.

HT3819 Hi there. If I use "home sharing" on the same wifi network, does it use internet data, or only sharing over a home network?

Hi there. If I use itunes over home sharing in my house on 2 pc's, does it use data from my internet, or does it work over local home network?

You'd need both computers to be connecting to the same wifi network in order to Home Share.

Unable to receive internet connection over wifi connection. Shows that I am connected to the network, but do not have internet access. Checked my firewall and turned it off. What else am I missing or should be doing differently?

You might want to try resetting your router and your modem - just unplug the cords, leave them unplugged for about 3-5 minutes and then replug the modem and then the router in that order.
This may or may not correct your problem - call back if it doesn't.

Ea3500: no internet over wifi

Hi,
for some reason my ea3500's wifi network will have no internet connection occasionally, I am still able to access the router's gateway over wifi, even stream videos with plex. But no internet access. TheEthernet also worksfine..

@strech1
One of the probable causes of your concern is a corrupted firmware in your router. Doe your router have an EA Series Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Firmware or a Classic EA Series Cisco Connect Firmware? It would be best that your router have the latest EA Series Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Firmware installed. It would be best to update the drivers of the wireless adapter installed on your wireless computer.

Unable to browse internet over wifi on my iphone

I am unable to browse internet on my iphone 4 and ipad3 simultaneously over wifi.
Both iphone and ipad show connected over wifi but only my ipad can connect to internet. Along with ipad I have no problem in connecting laptop and my other android phone over wifi and browse but iphone won't.
I am using talktalk broadband. Please help

Does your phone receive a valid ip address from your router?
Does it work fine when connected to other wifi networks? If so, then I'd say your router is the culprit.

After a week's worth of debugging, I found the issue.
The Java type returned from the call was defined as ArrayList. Changing it to List resolved the problem.
I'm not sure why ArrayList isn't a valid return type, I've been looking at the Adobe docs, and still can't see why this isn't valid. And, why it works in Debug mode and not in Release build is even stranger. Maybe someone can shed some light on the logic here to me.

My iPhone has stopped working over wifi. It was working till late night yesterday and in monring it stopped. I thought that it may be problem in my internet. But noticed that it doesn't work with office wifi as well. Have done some of the reset option.

320N Freezes when trying to transfer data over wifi

I have the 320N and I am very frusterated. I would just take it back, but I bought it brand new on Amazon.com, meaning I will have to pay shipping because I threw out the box and the return shipping form for RMA's! I don't even know if Amazon will take it back without that paperwork, but anyway here's the issue...
I don't have any N cards yet, but I upgraded to this router because my home internet service is faster than what my older WRT-54g could route. This new router does route and I can now achieve the rated speeds of my ISP (50/10 mbps).
I can transfer large files 6+ GB WIRED between any of the LAN ports on this device. However if I try to transfer much data over wifi, the router will simply stop working. The lights on the front work fine, they blink like there is activity, and the power LED is solid, but it won't pass traffic and the wifi SSID dissapears. I run a constant ping to the router (ping -t 192.168.1.1) and I get <1ms replies. On my laptop I initiate a download of a 1GB file which is shared in my windows 7 homegroup. Within a minute or two the constant ping to the router starts timing out. Internet access to anything (wired or wireless) instantly ceases. New introduced devices will not grab a DHCP address. Existing PC's whom already have their DHCP address can talk to each other only if wired. The wireless transmitter stops broadcasting the network and devices no longer see it on the airwaves. The only way to fix it is to power cycle it.
It doesn't even have to be a large file over wifi to transfer. Just now as I'm typing this post I noticed the constant ping on my other monitor started timing out. I power cycled the router in time for me to submit this post. In fact I had to do it three times in the time it took me to write this post. This is the most frustrating experience I've had with any wifi ap/router, and I play with Cisco gear at work that run real IOS.
Here's what I tried so far.
Reset factory defaults by holding in the rear reset button for over 30 seconds.
I can confirm this resets the defaults as the password and all other settings are back to default.
I tried WPA2 Personal. I tried WPA. Router still freezes.
I tried it with just the default settings. Router still freezes.
I've reset the router numerous times. Still freezes.
Power cycle it for more than a minute. Still freezes.
Reflash it with Linksys's latest firmware. Still freezes.
What do I do next? I have a feeling it's the same problem as in a lot of the HP Printer firmware boards. That problem is poor solder joints on the BGA processor connection. To fix that you put the formatter board in an oven at 400 degrees for 5 to 8 minutes. After that time you just let it cool to room temperature. The oven heats the poor solder joints enough so that it reseats and gets a better connection. There are hundreds of posts of success on this. I also hear that the solder connection problem exists for many of the older revision Xbox 360 game consoles causing the infamous "Red Ring of Death".
So do I try to fight with Amazon to take this back and eat the shipping?
Do I void my warranty, open the device up and put the board in the oven?
Do I buy another router from a closer store, but then put this one in the box and take it back?
Do I just cut my losses?
Do I just use this as a wired router (disable Wifi) and hook up my WRT-54g and make that act as just an access point?
Thanks for the advice.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok I've had my replacement 320N for almost 1 full week now, and while at first it was fine, come Sunday it appears to freeze during heavy transfers. I was streaming an HD movie to the laptop connected to the TV. 3/4ths of the way through the movie it started skipping. What do you know, the whole network was down. No internet or anything. Power cycle the router and everything was back up. Needless to say, I finished the movie through the wired connection. The next day I tried copying 8GB of data wirelessly. The SSID vanished 1/3rd of the way in during the transfer.
What is wrong with this stuff? Linksys doesn't make things like they used to. This 320N is so cheaply made I don't think I could recommend it to anyone. I might see if I can send this back to Amazon and get a Netgear.
