Poor Connection, would an ethernet help alot?

Hi, I have recently done a few speed tests and my connection is very poor (0.61 download, 0.35 upload, according to Xbox One)
When I try and play online I experience lag, and sometimes I disconnect, I sometimes can't watch streams on Twitch.tv, or stream on it using the Xbox.
If I get an ethernet cable, do you think I could get better speeds?

Have tried reseting TC, but to no avail.

Just updated from 10.6.7 ---> 10.6.8 and had the same issue. Despite having done a clean install from 10.6 and got everything back off my TC, now Time Machine can't find it!
Green light is on, ethernet cable conected, network CP says its conected but nothing. Airport Utility can't find it. Hit reset button, Orange flashing light but still no show in Airport Utility.
But I know its there, as rebooting from 10.6 SL disk shows the backups are still ok?
Hmm, ideas anyone?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Is there any cable adapter that would let my iphone connect to an ethernet connection or a way to share the ethernet connection from a mac to an iphone without being wireless?

I'm a tester and sometimes I need to test some applications on the Iphone, the company that I work for may get us one but only if we find a way to connect it to ethernet without being via wireles, since for the company politics it would be considered a risk of security

No.
Use the cellular data connection.
Set up a seperate wireless network that is completely seperate from the company network for Wi-Fi devices.

My airport is connected to an Ethernet cable and I have created a wifi network but my iPad and I phone can't seem to join it. They just keep trying. What's wrong?? Help!

I have just bought an airport express to connect to the Ethernet cable in my cabin. It's all set up all lights green and I've set up my wifi connection. But when I try to connect my I pad 3 or my iPhone 4 it finds the network but cannot seem to join it. Can anyone help?

Hello Lucy:
As I am not on the ship, I am "fishing" to see if I am able to help.
On the ships (cruise type) I have been on, there is usually a secure "ship" wi-fi network (as well as one that passengers may use for a fee) that needs a password to join.
On your iPad, go to settings and then tap Wi-Fi. What network are you connected to?
When you plugged in your Airport Express, you should have been prompted for settings...including security.

Thank

The iPad is designed to be a single user device, and there is currently no way to password protect the Mail app - even removing the account password from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars will just prevent new mail being downloaded, it won't hide those that have already been downloaded. There is this work-around for the app : https://discussions.apple.com/message/13127632#13127632 . Also there might be third-party email apps that feature password protecting.

Facetime poor connection msg.help!

facetime on macbook showing poor connection msg frequently where as using same wifi facetime on iphone is clear.I tried updating my os,rebooting wifi but nothing has worked for me so far.I need help....:(

Your issue is more than likely bandwidth related although there is a lot of variables that can cause issues. You can use the free Speed Test app to test your network speed using your iPhone when the problem arises. This could tell you which end the issue is at. It may be anything from older slower wifi routers, slow Internet connection, which your provider may throttle for certain uses, or network congestion in your area especially if you use cable Internet.

Poor connection, mainly in Gaming.

Hello, I am of the younger generation and my family has recently bought a BT product which I believe to be a Home Hub 3.0. Because of my age I enjoy playing computer games, with my old router I had no problem with this. My FPS (frames per second) used to be around 15-20 whilst I played and since I have been with BT it has dropped to around 4-6. I also, in general have poor connections when using my laptop and I would like to know if this can be fixed or improved, thank you for your time and I do hope this issue can be sorted. I have struggled to play at all recently because of this and any queries or solutions to this please comment.

are you connecting to the router wireless or with an ethernet cable? if wireless and using an older pc then I would suggest changing the wireless from default b/g/n to just b/g
I would also suggest you try downloading inssider3 (istumbler if MAC) and then run it. This will show the broadcasting networks round about you and their channels including your own. If you then enter your router and change your wireless channel to a free or less congested channel. you will need to change wifi to manual instead of automatic
you also should be 16 to post on the forum

Very Odd Problem connecting to network please help

Ok so I have had my Macbook Pro for a while and I have both an Airport Extreme and an Airport Express in my room. So until recently I could turn on my computer and my Airport would automatically connect to the internet. Now recently I turn on or open my computer and I can still see my network but I cannot connect to it. I have restarted all the devices and my computer, but the only thing that eventually logs me on (after anywhere between 5 minutes - an hour) is waiting. But the second I close my laptop I will get booted off the Internet and I cannot connect again.
However I can still see the network I just cannot connect to it.
Also another problem I have noticed is that when in Network Setup Assistant it asks me for the password for the network, and I have entered this password many times in my life for my iPhone and for my other devices. And yet recently when I input the correct password (ive tried over 100 times) I get a message saying that the password is incorrect, when I know for a fact that I am putting the right password in.
If anyone could please help me I would be very grateful.

The Airport Extreme base station has 2 passwords, one for logging into the router, the other for your network access (assuming you have security switched on). Just make sure you are trying to enter the correct password (I know this sounds obvious and no offense is meant).
If you added the Extreme to your other router, make sure in Airport utility the Extreme is set to Bridge Mode, this will remove any incompatibility issues with 2 devices trying to obtain IP addresses from your ISP. Only one router should connect to your ISP, using password, username and relevant settings, the other is a bridge for your internal network allowing faster transfers between devices connected to say for example your extreme.
I have a Netgear DG834PN modem/router which is assigned control to connect to my ISP (as it is a modem, the Extreme Base Station isn't a modem). The Apple Extreme is connected through ethernet to the Netgear. I have all my 802.11g/b/a devices connected through the Netgear wireless network (2.4Ghz) and all my 802.11n devices connected through the Apple Extreme Base Station wireless network ('n' only @5Ghz). I also have my Mac Pro and my AppleTV connected through gigabit ethernet (through the Extreme ethernet). Everything works well. AppleTV and Mac Pro sync very quickly, my MacBook Pro connects to other computers or devices (AppleTV for streaming content) within the Apple Extreme network, wired or wireless, and allows fast transfer speeds, especially with no g/b/a devices slowing things up.
I also have a USB hub connected to the Extreme with USB printer attached and additional external storage connected, both available throughout the Extreme network to either wired or wireless devices.
It sounds a bit complicated but it is really easy to do.

Connecting to an Ethernet network

Hi,
I am having a problem connecting my MacBook pro to the internet network at my work office. It is to be connected by an Ethernet cable. I have managed to connect my PC laptop running windows 7 but cannot find a way to connect my MacBook.
I called apple care and they lead me to the 'Connect Using a Static IP Address' screen, via system preferences/Assist me.../Assistant.../Continue/(select 'I connect to my local area network (LAN). Continue/Continue. At the 'Connect Using a Static IP Address' page I use the same IP Address, Subnet Mask I do on my PC.
**This is where i think i go wrong**, i put what is called 'Default Gateway' on PC where MAC says 'Router Address', and the(PC )perfered and alternate DNS server numbers where(MAC)says DNS Hosts.
Once I've selected continue, i get the message. 'Unable to establish a network connection'
What i need to know is how do i find out the correct network information from my PC to transfer it on to my MAC so i can get the internet connection. Apple care say i need to find the 'router address' which i can not find on the PC.
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

The 'router' address should be the IP address of the server you access. All the static information should be provided by your IT sysadmin. Your machine's IP address that you enter must be provided for your Mac. You cannot use the same one you use on your PC. You sysadmin needs to provide that to you. If it isn't in the server's routing table you cannot connect to the network. Their server must also be configured to work with a Mac. Many Windows-centric systems don't easily work with Macs.
This definitely sounds like an issue you need to take up with your IT people.

Connecting to Network/Ethernet in Brazil

I am in a small city where my pc connects, however my mac will not connect to the ethernet. I have put TCP/IP and DNS of the PC into my mac with no results. Any ideas?
Also, this small hotel has wireless and my pc connects but not my mac. I am using Leopard.
Thanks for your help

Hello Arash marashi,
First of all, it is more likely a develop related question and I'm afraid you've posted on the wrong forum. I will show you some direction below and you can check them then post it to the right forum.
Actually you can finish your job using the following ways:
1. Since you want to access gmail login page, the easiest way to do this is to use Gmail APIs, however it is not Microsoft product so it is third party here. You have to consult their support for this issue.
2. The second way will be a little complex. You have to clarify your project type and programming language first.
Both C#,VB,C++ can do the same action and WinForm,MFC, WPF and also ASP.NET website have textbox controls. Once you've already choosed a technology, you will need to be able to visit Gmail access page and get the html node from that page. After that,
you can use the value from your textbox to fill the blanks and perform a login button click event. This will sounds like something like the following if you choose to use WinForm webbrowser control:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5150610/how-to-simulate-mouse-click-with-the-webbrowser-control
So in general, if you need further support, please post it in the right forum.

TS1398 Connections..Wifi/Ethernet

So, in order to stream effectively, I have had to connect AppleTV via ethernet, but now, I can't play items selected within Appletv, from 'Computers' as they are connected via WIFi. Seemingly, my ethernet and wifi connectins are different - despite being via the same router, in the same room, practically on top of the Appletv box..
VERY frustrated that I can easily stream anything on my iPad via WiFi, but Apple TV has enough problems to make me hardwire it to the router!
I am assuming I am doing something wrong?
any help would be greatly appreciated

Hello, topcat33.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is an article that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue. Start with the section labeled If you are unable to access or play content while connected to a Wi-Fi network.
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4546
I would also recommend making sure you router has been adjusted to the recommended settings in the article below.
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
