Painfully slow LAN, but WAN is fast...?
Seems I've had this problem for as long as I can remember, but have been too lazy to do anything about it. I have a 100mbit internet connection and a fairly new wireless NetGear Router. When I download things from fast sources on the internet, for exemple the Apple.com -website/servers I get up to 6-8meg/sec. A 1GB movie takes less than 5 minutes sometimes.
However, when I then for exemple want to transfer this movie from my desktop to my laptop, or between any computers, it takes over 10 minutes or longer.
How is this possible?
Cant's actually find that info in my System Profiler for some reason. This is what it says under Airport:

Java Applet - slow response over WAN and fast on LAN
Hi All,
Using Tomcat we have a Java applet that runs very slow over the Internet but just the opposite on the LAN (fast). On our website we have a link that we click which initializes the application. it is very slow but if the same link is clicked on the LAN it is very fast in responding. We have a 10MB internet connection and even when testing with very little traffic after peak business hours we have same results.When closing the browser and reopening it is much faster the second time. This tells me it is being Cached. If I go to a system that has never accessed the applet we are very slow again. We are hosting this application for a 3rd party so we did not write the code. This company is finger pointing at Router and I am finger pointing at Java application itself maybe not being optimal.
I am attaching "debug" info from Java Console. Can anyone identify any issues from this debug output or familiarity with this type issue. Your insight is greatly appreciated.

Time capsule painfully slow wifi
New time capsule , painfully slow wifi , cisco works lightning fast so the issue is with the TC. Looked at forums and I see it's a common isssue. Any ideas that actually work?
Download the free iStumbler app to examine the strength of your connection.
If it's not good, look for interference with another wireless device, cordless phone, microwave oven, etc. Turn them off temporarily; if you find an offender, move it farther away. See AirPort and Bluetooth: Potential sources of wireless interference for more.
Try different WIFI channels. -
Usually very fast, Sometimes painfully slow. Why?
There probably is no simple answer to this, but I'll ask anyway.
I am test driving Aperture 2.0.1 and so far like it a lot. But every now and then, on particular photos, it seems to slow to a crawl. For example, I have one photo that I shot a couple of days ago that has a stone building and a tree (with lots of thin twigs and no leaves) in front of it. This photo is just plain painful to work on -- all adjustments are slow, the loupe takes a couple seconds to open and can't be moved smoothly (it seems to jump erratically, so it's even hard to move it slowly), and even if I zoom to 100% I can't move around in the photo (using the little red navigation box in the navigation overlay) without similar erratic behavior. Even Quick Preview mode is slow!
The odd thing is that with the majority of my photos everything is very quick. Using the loupe feels almost like moving a real, physical loupe over a real photo -- it's that fast. There are just a few images that seem to cause this painful slowness.
So now the question -- is there a reason for this, and a cure? The best explanation I can think of is that this photo, and a few others, has so many little details in it (the roughness of the stone, and the randomness of the many thin twigs on the tree) that it's straining Aperture's raw conversion to its limits. But if that were it, I'd think that Quick Preview would have worked OK. And while I hate to say it (because this is an honest question, not a thinly veiled jab at Aperture), Lightroom doesn't seem to have any problem with this photo.
Other particulars -- I'm using a Nikon D50, and the photo was shot in raw. I've tried quitting Aperture and restarting it, logging out and back on, and even restarting the computer.I think I have tracked the problem down -- it's highlights and shadows. If I turn that adjustment off everything works fine. I went back and looked at some other images and sure enough, if I turn on highlights & shadows the performance bogs down considerably. It's more pronounced on the particular photo I wrote about yesterday -- until that photo it was just a curiosity and I never made the connection, but this one was so bad that I was forced to check it out further.

Painfully slow startup - any suggestions how to make it faster?
Hi Everyone,
Just thought I'd ask people - my 17" iMac G5 1.9GHz PowerPC with 512MB ram is painfully slow at start-up. Seems to take forever! Does anyone know how I could clear a lot of rubbish from my computer and someone make it faster.
Would anyone recommend a complete re-install - would that improve speed?
Any help appreciated, cheers,
MarkMark, you can clear space on your drive and speed it up by moving a lot of sound and video files to a DVD, or even better, to an external; Firewire drive that you can partition and also use as a clone boot disk.
Go through your applications folder and look for stuff that you never use, then get AppZapper to remove all traces of them. You can also use Monolingual to remove the tons of extra languages installed with Word and OS X, just make sure you uncheck English and any other language you might use.
Hope some of this helps,
Miriam -
I tried to update the latest software update for my MacBook pro (which was on 10/12) and after it started to update it restarted like normal but when it started back up it was running painfully slow and none oft programs will open.They all quit unexpectedly. iTunes microsoft word all of them quit unexpectedly. Help!
Exact same problem with my 2010 MBP 2.4ghz 4gb ram 10.6.8. iTunes said update was needed, Software Update ran with various updates including a security update, truthfully didn't pay much attention, I always install the Apple updates. After the restart it took 3-4 times longer than normal to get to the login screen, same to get to the desktop but I'm familiar with that occurring on update restarts. Unfortunately it got worse from there. Performed a full shutdown and startup. Same long boot. After the desktop finally loads every mouse button press received a 2 minute beachball. I use menu-meters and both processors are under 10%. Waited a few minutes for disk utilities to launch, repair permissions estimates 3 hours for a typical <10 minute process. Activity monitor shows nothing over 10% CPU most of the time however ReportCrash pops to the top often. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. BTW zero problems until this update.

Airport reception fine but painfully slow
Hi,
I've had my macbook pro for about 1 year now and just in the last week the WiFi at home is almost unusable (haven't tried it elsewhere yet). Reception is fine, all bars showing, but loading web pages is painfully slow, with the blue progress bar stalling, loading normally for a bit, then stalling again, and so-on until eventually I get a timeout or it has seemingly stalled indefinitely. Here's what I've done so far to isolate the problem:
1. Windows PC has perfect internet access through the same wireless router.
2. Connected macbook directly to DSL modem via ethernet cable, and internet access was perfect.
3. Deleted the airport connection settings in System Preferences, then re-established the settings - problem didn't go away.
So I think this rules out a broken router and modem and also rules out a problem with the macbook talking to my ISP (and hopefully rules out any ID10T errors on my part). So I suspect the problem lies with the macbook.
I don't know what's changed recently to suddenly cause this problem, some updates maybe?
Anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this?
Thanks"...(haven't tried it elsewhere yet)..."
Do that. Then post back. -

The composition I'm working with does have 1 camera, and about 45 small 3D comps built into it. No lights. And all of the footage and data is on the Mac OSX hard drive. Which has tons of space available as you can see. I've played around with the settings in After Effects. But nothing seems to significantly speed things up. Any ideas??Hey PJ,
I've been using CS6 since it was released, and while it's got a bunch of great new features, it's basically made Multi Processing unusable unless we're talking about the simplest of comps. I'm working on my second short using AE as the total animation package, and render times for complicated 3D comps (NOT using ray tracing) have tripled. MP used to take forever to spool up, but was fast once it got rolling. Now, disabling MP gives me 3 or 4 times faster rendering, which is still MUCH slower than MP is CS5.5. SOmething has deflineitly changed for the worse, as i'm using the same machine with the same settings and virtually the same comps.
I acutally just yesterday had two animators quit on my because they couldn't meet their deadlines.
I think After Effects is the hydra of programs. They kill one feature and two more fill its place. Unfortuanly we traded functional Multi-processing for falloff lighting and etc... The puppet tool was it 3 version of after effects before it was stable. I'm hoping we don't have to wait til CS7 for MP to sort itself out.
I really don't understand the "deal with it" aspect of the posters here. Surely a functional program that delivers on it's promises is the goal of this forum. We're not asking it to make us a sandwich. -
HomeHub 3 - USB speeds painfully slow - known issu...
Hello I have a BT HomeHub 3 - FW version 12 - on Infinity Option 2.
I have recently bought a WD 2TB external drive and connected it to the USB port on the homehub in the hopes to have all my media on it to share across the network.
It attached fine, was detected fine, and I've successfully mapped it as a network drive on my PC without a problem.
The drive is formatted in NTFS, and my PC is connected to the homehub via the gigabit port.
The read and write speeds though are painfully slow - pretty much solid at 2.0MB/s. Is this just "how it is" or is there a solution, because as it stands I can't see the point in there even being a USB port! I could download another version of the file 4 times faster from the internet than I could copy it locally to the HDD!!
I can't find any information about this or indeed see many complaints, so I'm wondering if this is just mine?
Any feedback would be appreciated - happy to receive technical answers.
Thanks for any help!Keith, I have to say that your answer gives no technical insight of the situation,
I highly doubt that this device does not have the processing power to do a transfer of more than 2-3 Mb/Sec,
Don't forget there's even a gigabit ethernet port, and you can easily achieve very high speeds using lan or even the internet connection - forget that this is due to the hub being slow - no chance.
Second point you mention, SMB protocol is not that efficient, that's not the reason for slow speeds again. I can confirm I've got an SMB server setup on a Linux 5 yeard old netbook in the Lan and it's still performing faster than 2 Mb / Sec. SMB is again NOT the problem.
It's most likely a firmware issue where the USB port is either throttled down intentionally or not utilized as a proper USB 2.0 port - I think BT or whoever makes this box ought to give the community an explanation on the matter. When claiming that the usb port can be used to connect storage media they should also mention that the maximum speed is not more than 3 Mb/Sec - otherwise the statement is misleading as most people know that usb storage media perform a lot faster when connected to computers.
It's like someone telling you, that his car drives like ferrari, but not telling you that it cannot do more than 20 mph. -
Painfully slow connection with new master socket
Hi forum
Hoping for some advice or perspective on possible issue with my broadband connection. Perhaps unrelated, but I recently had a new master socket fitted (NTE5), however the broadband speed in the house is now painfully slow.
Am using BT Home Hub 4, below are the rest results I'm receiving, however I'm curious as to whether 0.25Mbps really is likely to be the maximum achievable speed, as this renders several services almost unusable.
Grateful if anyone feels there is more that could be done.
Thanks,
Kevin

About a week or so ago I bought an Apple refurb Mac Pro 2.66
It is replacing a Dual 1.8 G5 with 2GB of RAM. My plan was to "suffer" with 1GB of RAM in the Mac Pro for a while until RAM prices went down. At the same time I bought a MacBook 1.83/512MB to replace my iBook 1.33/512MB laptop.
Right to the point, the Mac Pro pages out of control, all the time. Even closing windows causes extreme paging. To put it into perspective, my Mac Pro pages significantly more than my old iBook that only had 512MB of RAM. It is so slow I can't even do work. I was going out of my mind. Then, I figured I'd boot the Mac Pro off of the MacBook and run all the disk utilities I could find just to make sure nothing was wrong. Oh I guess I should also say first that the MacBook is just as slow, although with 512 - 64 MB of RAM, it has an excuse at least. So I booted the Mac Pro off the MacBook over Firewire, and started running tests. All the tests were fine. The directory wasn't scrambled. The disk was barely fragmented, no volume problems at all, S.M.A.R.T. tests all passed. But then I noticed something. The machine was no longer paging. Booted off the MacBook's drive, it was acting like a machine with 1GB of ram. It has its slow moments but over all it was fine. Apps opened super fast. It was as fast as I thought the Mac Pro was going to be. So at this point I started to get suspicious of the hard drive. Despite passing all tests. So I googled it's model number and found a manufacturers spec sheet. The first thing I noticed was this quote:
"Super-quiet drive is almost inaudible. Difference between idle and seek can hardly be detected by human ear, making drive operation almost silent."
My drive spins up nice and quiet, but seeking is so loud, I can hear it across the room. So now I'm really starting so suspect something is wrong. Both computers have been so slow, I've barely been using them lately but I have much work to do.
--also as an out of order note, I do run Adobe software, but all the slowness observations happen even when running ONLY intel native apps. Running PPC stuff just makes it worse but its still painfully bad without them.
So hows this for a theory. I've been told that intel code is optimized more for fast execution likes larger amounts of ram, so a system short on ram feels the pinch more. That, plus the fact that 64MB is being used for video RAM, is making my MacBook legitimately slow. The Mac Pro on the other hand, has a hard drive problem which is causing super slow paging. So I'm hoping that once the drive is replaced, I'll be able to work on the machine normally, or almost normally.
To give you an idea of how bad the paging is: remember when we used system 7 and would click on a program, and stop everything, walk into the other room, and come back when the application was opened. Thats what I do now on a 1 GB machine. Even switching between apps can take a minute or two.
What do ya think?Unless you yourself did a full fresh clean install of the OS, that is the first thing to do.
Second, don't migrate any files except data to the Mac Pro. And definitely not PPC program files, install those, but don't use Migration Assistant.
It sounds like your system is just suffering from "molasses effect" of a poorly installed and updated system, and that someone used Migration Assistant on it.
2GB of RAM is nice, but if you are running heavy files or memory hungry, 4GB would be nice.
You may want to setup a boot drive, a scratch drive, and a data drive to help spread the work over multiple drives. Also, the OEM drives do tend to be slow and sluggish, and you want your boot drive to be your best, whether 300GB or 500GB best of class, or 10K Raptor.
Wipe the drive, zero-all, do a fresh system install and update, and I think you'll find it behaves. Clone the system before installing 3rd party so you have a known good system state and don't have to customize everything again. -
Time Capsule with an Airport Extreme bridge resulted in slow LAN speeds
Wondering if other people are seeing this. I am unsure if this was a result of upgrading both my TC and AEx to 7.6, but my LAN speeds had suffered in this configuration.
1. Comcast cable modem connected to the WAN port on my TC.
2. Connected an ethernet cat6 cable from the TC to my Airport Extreme, which was configured as a bridge.
3. My desktop was connected to the Airport Extreme.
4. When doing file transfers within the LAN or general internet usuage, my network speeds were extremely low.
5. Disconnected the cat6 cable from the TC and plugged that directly to my desktop.
6. Network speed jumps up by a factor of 5. LAN file transfers and internet usuage has returned to what I had expected.
Is there a known issue where a bridged AEx conncted to another Airport "main" device will result in all machines connected via the AEx to have slow LAN speeds?
I didn't see this issue months ago. I did less than 2 months ago upgrade our machines to the 7.6 firmware, but after experiencing some hiccups on the network, reverted back to 7.5.2. However, the slow LAN speeds haven't gone away when the two airport machines are connected to each other.
Any insight or advise is appreciated.By now, millions of users have updated to 7.6 and I cannot recall seeing a post similar to yours on this forum.
As far as a "known issue", you would need to contact Apple regarding that.
Suggest that you have the AirPort checked out at an Apple store if you have one near you. -
Painfully slow wireless connection with Time Capsule
I have recently bought and changed over my home wireless to a Time Capsule 2TB, which I wanted for both the backup and the ease in home networking. I have set up the wireless network and since day one it has been painfully slow! I have created two wireless networks, one for 2.4GHz and the other for 5GHz. I have been reading all over the web and boards but to no avail. Any suggestions? I am about to give up on the time capsule completely! I couldn't even download my podcast tonight.
Help!Firstly plug in directly by ethernet to be sure there isn't a network issue on wan side.
Are you testing on multiple computers .. Mac and/or PC?? Which ones. and what network cards are being used?
Try and remove anything that uses G wireless and throw away any B wireless. It will not work together with N even if it is an option.
Turn off the guest network if you have it on.
Have you used a wireless analyser like kismac or inssider for pc? Find the free channels and set the wireless to that. Use no security at first to test.. briefly.. and then select wpa2 personal. Is there any difference?
Do you have another wireless router running?? Were you using a different wireless router for comparison? -
Trying to access my 851w from outside my lan, but can access inside fine
Hi,
I purchased a 851w to use as my home router and to learn more about the cisco IOS. I have been spending some time studying for CCENT/CCNA and so far I have enjoyed learning as I go. However, I am having problems accessing this router from a remote location via ssh. I can access it just fine from my lan, but not outside it from another location. Currently, I am not using this router for internet access or anything else other than learning about the IOS, and it is connected to a basic dlink wireless router dir-615. I have port forwarding setup on the dlink that any traffic coming in on port 22 is directed to the 851w at 192.168.0.150. I also have the 851w connected with a crossover cable to a switch that is connected to the dlink router.
Like I said, I can connect just fine from my lan, but can't connect from outside. I have tried a few different things but nothing works. I also use Teraterm to connect, but have tried Putty too. I also use ddns to access it, but I have also tried the wan ip address of the dlink with no luck.
Could someone please take a look at my very basic running config and explain what I might need to do different?
Thanks in advance.
SeanHi and thanks a bunch for your quick response.
No, I can't ping anything other than my main router which I have setup as the gateway so why is that? For example,
ip default-gateway 192.168.0.1
Wouldn't it automatically send anything it doesn't know about to the 192.168.0.0/24 router?
I have one of the switch ports, Fast Ethernet 0, connected to another switch connected to the dlink router. I have tried different ports but it didn't change anything. I don't have anything connected to the wan port of the 851w. I was trying to simulate remote access of a switch on an internal network. My next step would be to make the 851w my default router and then try to access it from the outside, but I wanted to succeed this way first.

Yes, my internal pc is on the 192.168.0.0/24 subnet.
