Network speed issues with TC

I have a couple gig of music in apple lossless format that I moved to shared drive on TC. The task took 20 hours for 4 gig. How can I speed up this network? If I burn a CD directly to the TC it is taking almost a hour per CD. I have an imac, mac mini, a mac notebook on the network plus a toshiba notebook and two squeeze boxes. Any advice? I figure with the toshiba off everything should be n speed.

I'm having similar issues. For months now, I have had super fast wireless speeds! 6, 7 + Meg per second. Now, suddenly, I'm barely getting 2 or 3. I thought, it might have been my ISP, so I tested my desktop, it was still getting info at speeds around 10 Meg. So then I checked out the trouble shooting guide in the users manual. It had a ton of suggestions on where to place the time capsule for optimum performance. I thought, well it always worked fine here before, but for arguments sake I'll try it. So I moved the time capsule to a location that was much more ideal according to the users manual, and... nothing... still 2 Meg speeds. It's really ******* me off, because when I go to purchase or rent a movie on my AppleTV it takes FOREVER to download, and sometimes I'll start a movie, and it stops half way through because my playback has caught up to the end of the download. This NEVER happened before, so if anyone has any suggestions... please help.

  • Speed issue with WDS, Airport Extreme, and Airport Express 802.11n

    I have a Airport network set up using WDS and two airport base stations: an Airport Extreme 802.11n, and an Airport Express 802.11n. The Extreme is configured to be WDS main and is connected to my cable modem and other computers, while the express is WDS relay and acts as a switch.
    I don't actually have any wireless clients connecting to the express. I'm using it to connect a mac with no airport card to the network by plugging it into the ethernet port on the express. For the most part, it works, and the mac gets a network address and can access the network. However, the connection speed from the Express to the Extreme seems slower than it should be.
    Since both are 802.11n, and the Mac is plugged into the Express's 10/100 ethernet port, I figure the theoretical top speed that the Mac should be able to communicate with another device plugged into the Extreme is at around the same speeds as 100 mbps ethernet, since the 100 mbps ethernet connection should be the bottleneck in this case. In reality, the speeds are much slower: when I transfer files between a machine connected to the extreme (via ethernet) and my mac, the speed tops out at about 2 megabytes a second, if that.
    I looked in the Airport Extreme's logs, and it indicates that the Express is only connected at 54 mbps, as though it were a 802.11g Express. I have no idea why this is! Also, the only wireless communication is between the Extreme and the Express, so one wireless device acting as a relay for another (and thus cutting the throughput in half) shouldn't be an issue.
    Does anyone know why the speeds are so slow, and if there's anything I can do to improve them?

    Hello Brian Kendall. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I looked in the Airport Extreme's logs, and it indicates that the Express is only connected at 54 mbps, as though it were a 802.11g Express. I have no idea why this is!
    That is because you established a WDS which only runs in 802.11g. Since you have two 802.11n base station, you would want to take advantage of the "Extend a network" feature available with these base stations.
    Here's a typical setup:
    o If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
    o Open AirPort Utility and select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
    o Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    o Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
    o Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
    o Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    o Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.
    o Enter the base station network and base station password is necessary.
    o Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.

  • Network speed issues while using osx

    this may seem a little bit strange, and i can't make any sense out of it but if anyone can figure out what my problem might be it would be greatly appreciated.
    i have an older duel os (win xp, leopard) mbp and have had a lot of problems with hardware/software (osx) in the past, and have ended up, to my dismay, almost exclusively using windows.
    anyway, just yesterday i decided it was time to give osx another chance. so besides having it hanging constantly while doing simple tasks, i have noticed my network speed is drastically reduced.
    i ran a test on speedtest.net and ended up with 500kps average download speed, and 70kbps upload speed, with the closest server in my town at 800 ping.
    i straight away restarded into windows and ran the test again, and achieved 13500kbps download, and 600kpbs upload, with a ping of 66.
    NOTHING changed between the time of restarting. The router was left as it was, no other computers are switched on, and nothing is downloading.
    In the past when using osx i have had frequent connection dropping issues, but as i run wireless i always just attributed it to my router. Although since using windows exclusively this has also ceased.
    I have looked through airport settings and cannot find anything that looks like it may be the problem, although i'm not as experienced at getting into the back-end settings on osx.
    the part that confuses me the most is the ping. latency generally increases with distance, not so much speed. i dont understand how the same server situated nearby can give 66 ms in windows and 800 in osx.
    if anyone has any ideas, i thank you in advance.
    p.s. i have osx 1.5.4 and was updating to 1.5.5 but the slow download speeds caused me to create this post. it does mention an increase in network performance in update notes for 1.5.5, if that will solve this than i apologize, although i doubt this drastic speed difference could have existed for so long if everything is set up correctly.

    You are certainly not alone. I have the same problem. Download speed seems to be limited to 500KB/s (any program, any service) and 2.18MB/s using Windows. I tried two different routers with the same results. Even downloading the same files using rapidshare led to this. Very strange.
    This has nothing to do with the DNS server. My connection speed is pretty fast. With and without the recommended OpenDNS server settings. I just re-installed Leopard and updated to 10.5.6. Nothing changed.
    Seems like something is throttling the max. dl speed. Odd!

  • IPhone 4S - Wi-Fi Speed issues with Linksys 4500

    I have a Linksys 4500 and have extremely slow wifi speeds.  I've changed every setting, channel and anything else that was editable.  However, I can never get very good download speeds (typically below 1Mbs) but the strange thing is that uploads are usually around 5Mbs.  I finally tried a Ruckus 7363 AP and I consistently get close to 20Mbs so I know it is the wi-fi with the linksys router.  Has anyone else had the same experience and did you find a fix?  Again, I've tried everything and the problem only appears on ios devices.  Macbook has no issues nor does my android devices.  thanks

    I'm having the same issue.  My old iPhone 4 and the iPad 2 both connect seamlessly to iTunes (on WIndows 7), but the iPhone 4S doesn't sync automatically when plugged in to power.  Also it doesn't maintain a connection to iTunes over wifi.  For instance, right now iTunes isn't showing the iPhone 4S (but is showing the iPhone 4 and iPad 2) even though the iPhone 4S is on the same network, and is even connected to power.
    When I try to sync from iTunes (when the phone shows up) or from the iPhone 4S, it fails saying that it failed to start the sync process.
    Since the process works with the iPhone 4 and iPad 2, I'm assuming there must be some issue with the 4S, or another setting somewhere that isn't completely obvious.
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

  • New infinity line and major speed issues with almo...

    Hi,
    Just has infinity installed after moving from my previous FTTC provider.  With the previous provider i was getting 16 down / 1-2 up and it worked great.
    Had my my new inifnity line put in on thrsday and i am getting 17 down / 0.5 up!! 
    I work from home and connect to the office via vpn and remote desktop and its almost unusable.  Laggy, slow, unrepsonsive and is constantly dropping the connection with a failed to read from socket error and is making it very difficult to work form home effectively.
    I have a 4g EE modem also and if i switch to this it is like lightening compared.
    I also had absolutely no connection issues with my previous provider and as i posted above had a mich better uplink speed - which is where i think im getting most of my issues.
    When i signed up to BT this is what i was sent via email:
    We estimate your download speed will be 19.1Mb.
    We estimate your upload speed will be 3.9Mb.
    Im fine with the download but the uplink is shocking compared to the estimate - and as i had much better before i think something is amiss.
    Also when i signed up i was told that if i had any connection issues with the new line i had to notify BT within 7 days and it woudl eb investingated but it seems there are so many roadblocks to creating support tickets etc.. Its like it s been hard to report a fault on purpose.
    Where can i create a support ticket or similar to get this looked at?
    Thanks

  • Speed issue with TC and Airport Express 802.11n in WDS mode...

    Here is my problem.
    I replaced my older base station / Express duo with
    a new Time Capsule (1TB) and a new Airport Express (802.11n).
    I set up the network with the TC as base station running a WDS network (WDS main) and the Express is the WDS remote.
    When I check the wireless clients from the TC, I find my iMac running at 130Mbits and the Extreme at 54Mbits.
    No other wireless clients are connected to the network (I kept my slower network as a parallel one for my "older" Macs).
    The only other connected device is my Dish network DVR that is connected via an Ethernet cable directly to the Express.
    So my question is why does the Express not communicate at >54 speed rate with the TC?
    And, why does my iMac connect with 130 and not with 300Mbits?
    Any thoughts?

    Instead of using WDS, you should take advantage of the "Allow this network to be extended" option that is available for the 802.11n AirPorts including the TC. WDS only operates in the 802.11g radio mode.
    Here's the basic setup:
    o If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
    o Open AirPort Utility and select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
    o Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    o Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
    o Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
    o Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    o Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.
    o Enter the base station network and base station password is necessary.
    o Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.

  • Network Speed Required with VPN

    Hi,
    I have a customer, he has open an office outside the main company,
    Only 2-3 user (with all authorization access to B.one) will be connected with VPN.
    I would like to Know how is the network speed required to use b.one with VPN connections.
    Thanks for your cooperation,

    Hello
    There's no specific definition for VPN.
    What we recommend based on the field experience is:
    _Terminal server_ 
    Bandwidth per user: 20 - 40 Kb
    _Citrix_
    Bandwidth per user: 5 - 20 Kb                       
    Please take these numbers as a recommendation/guideline and not as minimum requirements.

  • Guest Network login issues with EA6300 (Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Router AC1200)

    I have a friend who runs a Bed and Breakfast, and she's having issues with guests being able to connect to the Guest network.  She bought this router at the recommendation of Best Buy's Geek Squad, after she had some issues with her previous model.  
    Everything is set up properly, the router seems to operate fine, especially with the normal network.  The guest network can be seen, with a decent amount of signal strength, but when people try and connect to the network, and try to use it, they're never prompted for the guest login screen.  
    I've been able to verify that it does indeed work - I helped set it up, but apparently there are several people using Android phones and tablets, and iPads that do not receive a prompt to enter the guest password and continue on.  
    Are there any manual addresses that can be input into a browser in order to access the guest login web screen?
    OR better yet... is there a way to assign the password to the guest SSID, much like a normal wireless access point, rather than allowing guests to connect to a password-promptless guest SSID and have to try and finagle the guest password screen to pop up?
    This is very frustrating, for both my friend who runs a business and myself who supports this.  Is the router faulty?  Is there a new firmware??  Any help would be appreciated.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks for the feedback.  I was able to get the guest network working pretty much 100% this afternoon.  What I did was I reset the router to factory settings to give it the purest settings, then went through then updated the network names and passwords, so existing devices would automatically reconnect to the main network.
    I also made sure that all existing devices that were trying to connect to the guest had the guest network settings "forgotten" and purged from their devices cache.  When connecting again, the guest network immediately forwarded to the browser guest login.  The only issues I had were when a device still had the guest network stored.  Forgetting it and reconnecting from scratch worked.  
    I verified it on and iPhone, iPad, 2 Android phones, 2 Windows 8 computers, and 1 Windows 7 laptop.  Thanks for the suggestions.
    I definitely recommend resetting the router to factory settings (make a backup first though), and the make sure any problematic guest devices have any guest network saved data is purged from the device and then attempt a reconnect.

  • Speed issues with Leopard or Kernel Panics try this..

    I installed Leopard on a PB G4 1.5Ghz and was getting freezing, speed issues running Adobe apps and more recently kernel panics. Running Disk Utility did nothing.
    But one thing worked wonders for me, hope it helps you.
    Put the CD for Leopard in the machine and boot from it. Run Disk Utility and Repair Permissions of your hard drive.
    It took 1 hour 30 mins but it wonders for me, so far....
    Hope it helps you.

    Funny eh?
    I had a similar problem installing Leopard, installation went fine but when I restarted it wouldn't boot past the grey screen. I was disillusioned as I was eagerly waiting for Leopard, but I waited a few days and decided to boot from the install DVD and I repaired permissions, re-installed and it now works fine!
    Must be a pre-requisite to use disc utility and fix those permissions!
    Go figure?

  • Speed Issue with EG008W ver 3

    This is my first time writing on a forum so please forgive the long winded explanation. I just want to make sure I give all the details.
    I currently own a WRV54G, WRT54G, and BEFSR41. My internet modem is connected directly to the WRV54G and the other two are connected directly to WRV54G also. The little network I had was working completely fine and I've never had any issues.
    Last month I purchased a EG008W ver 3 in the hopes of speeding up my internal network since my laptop (vista 64 home), my HP media smart ex485 server, and my PS3 all have gigabit cards.
    I removed WRT54G from the WRV54G and connected the EG008W to WRV54G. I then connected  my laptop, my HP mediasmart ex485 server, my PS3, and WRT54G to the  EG008W.
    I didn't notice any speed changes in the last month so this week I decided to do a small speed test. Copying 5GB of files from my server to my laptop said it would take me 5 hrs. I connected my laptop to the WRT54G and tried copying the same files and it took just less than 10 minutes. I connected the laptop back to EG008W and tried copying the same files. I let it sit for 30 minutes then gave up.
    I did an online chat with Linksys and told me to return it to the store. The store policy didn't allow exchanges but they did test it and it the EG008W worked fine for them.
    I brought it back home and tried it with the following simple set up: Modem to WRV54G to EG008W. Then I connected just the latop and server to EG008W. I copied the same 5GB of files and it first seemed promising but after 15 minutes it still said 3 hours left. I would have liked a speed boost in my network but to have it slow down more than my wireless G connection is just not right.
    I have cat5e cabling and patch cords. I have kept the cabling the same when I connect from the switch to the router when doing the tests.
    Any help would be appreciated. I would also appreciate any new tests that I may try.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    According from what I understand, it seems that the switch is not working the way it should. After all the testing that you had, I suggest you better contact Linksys phone support for assistance. well if you were out side USA please contact them again via chat and let them know your concerns.

  • HT5642 WiFi speed issues with iPhone 4S since the update

    Since the update the WiFi on the iPhone is terrible. I run a 50mb speed and barley get 2mb. My iPad is getting 39mb speed. Is there a problem with this update for the iPhone that affects WiFi speed?

    I am having the same issue since updating to iOS 6.  It has been noticeable on my iPhone 4S and a little less noticeable on my iPad 3 but I think it is happening on the iPad too.  Very annoying problem.  One way to get it to work better is to re-boot your phone.  It will work for awhile then and then eventually not be working anymore and you will need to re-boot again.
    Just to be clear with everyone - the iPhone looks like it is connected to the wireless, it gets an IP address but can't transmit any data.  Device:  iPhone 4S, OS:  iOS6

  • Network Printing issues with HP DeskJet 3054A

    Basically I'm not able to get past the wireless setup - I get the unable to find  printer error.  I've tried to set it up with and without the USB cable. I was able to print using the USB cable, but not wirelessly.  I used the WPS option to connect my printer to my network, both by pushing the button, and by entering the PIN.  
    Ok here goes for system config...I have a ActiontecM1000 DSL modem that is connected to a netgear WNDR3400 router. From this router, I have a desktop running Windows XP connected directly.  I have several other devices connected wirelessly to the router, including a macbook pro running the most recent version of OS which was not able to connect to the printer wirelessly (just bought it last month with the Deskjet pronter).  I am currently using WPA2-PSK [AES] security without MAC filtering.
    On my router screen, when I click on "Attached Devices", I am able to see the printer, and it is assigned an IP address.  Most of the documentation says to type this IP address into your web browser, but whenever I do this, I am unable to access the printer (so for whatever reason, I'm unable to communicate to this device.  I currently have my desktop, macbook, 2 work laptops, an IPad, and 2 Iphones that are able to connect thru this router, so I don't think my router is malfunctioning, although it could be some weird printer setting that needs to be done...   
    Some other info which people may find useful - the print out of the HP Network config page shows that there is connection, the correct SSID, signal quality 5, the same IP address as shown on my router config page, as well as the correct authentication type - actually it says WPA-PSK vs WPA2-PSK.  It also says port 9100 is enabled, and bonjour is also enabled. 
    The print out of the wireless network test results shows that the wireless on/working is pass, signal quality is excellent, and no other networks detected mating your network name.  I will say that after 4 hours of trying this, I had a view choice words when I saw at the top of this sheet "No problems found.  Congratulations on the successful setup of your wireless printer."  
    I'm running AVG, and have attempted to disable this in the off chance that this is a firewall issue of some kind.
    I've also powered off the router, the printer, and the computer to try and resync everything.
    I have downloaded the "Troubleshoot HP installation failure - network" application and have attempted all 7 solutions, and have not been able to resolve the problem.
    Any assistance would be great!

    Currently my actiontec M1000 does not have the wireless module (in the qwest modem configuration, it says "no wireless module detected" - when I first got the modem I called qwest to confirm the dsl modem has no wireless capability,  which is when I ended up getting the Netgear router.
    Is there a point where I can get warranty service for the printer?  I'm beginning to wonder if there's just something wrong with the printer itself...

  • Speed issue with the AirPort Extreme (802.11n)

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help out with this.
    I am the Design Manager and IT Director at a publishing company where we have just upgraded to an AirPort Extreme (802.11n) base station to drive our network. We went this route as all of our machines are Mac Minis with built-in Airport and we were in a situation where re-doing a hardwire on the building was not going to be a possibility due to budget costs.
    Our new configuration seems to be running very well and has the following devices connected to the AirPort Extreme:
    Linksys Firewall Router (which was used on our old system and was requested by corporate to stay in the lineup to keep the static IP addresses we've already defined for our printers, VPN, etc. intact). The configuration on this part is modem to Linksys router to uplink port on the Airport).
    New Panther, Intel based Xserve connected to the Airport's Ethernet port 1.
    A 4 port ethernet switch connected to the Airport's Ethernet port 2 which drives four of our HP LaserJet printers.
    Ethernet port 3 is not occupied.
    All of the ethernet cords connecting our equipment are brand new.
    For the most part, everything's been running blazing fast with a remarkable speed increase over our old hardwired setup. However, I've received a few complaints about slow speeds when dragging and dropping and working with files that are stored on our Xserve - we get alot of the "spinning wheel" and the transmission speeds seem very slow.
    At present, we have several category 6 ethernet cords on backorder. I was planning on using one to take advantage of the gigabit ethernet capabilities between the Airport and the Xserve (as these are the only two elements of the network that support gigabit ethernet, besides the majority of our Mac Minis. Printers and cable modem are only 10-100 capable, so those will stand as is).
    Can anyone tell me if the gigabit ethernet cord will be the solution to this one slow aspect of the new network? Any other settings I could apply to possibly speed up the transmission time when moving files to and from our server? Good news is that every workstation in the house is getting a full 4 bars.
    Many thanks!

    PS, just wanted to point out that we are also running in bridge mode.
    Thanks!
