Power Cuts and Download Speed?

I live in the North of Scotland and we are currently being hammered my a bad storm. For the last few hours we have had the electricity being knocked out and coming back on a few minutes later. This seems to be affecting my router stats.
My question. When the electricity settles down again after the storm, will my router stats also settle down again, or do I have to request a SNR reset to sort things out again.
Thanks.

Hi the best suggestion I could offer to try and ensure No SNR changing when storms and power outages occur is turn off the router and leaving it off until conditions settle down again

  • What are the uploads and downloads speeds

    what are the upload and download speeds of the time capsule?

    what are the upload and download speeds of the time capsule?
    If you are asking about Internet download and upload speeds, this is limited by your service plan with your Internet provider.
    It might be something like 10 Mbps download and 2 Mpbs upload, for example. That's because on most home plans, the download speeds are typically much faster than the upload speeds....unless you opt for a business type connection at significantly higher cost.
    The Time Capsule is capable of much faster speeds than your service provider can ever deliver, so the bottleneck on your network will always be the Internet connection...not the Time Capsule.

  • WRT400N Upload and Download Speeds

    I have a WRT400N router. I have a network set up where I am physically connected to the router while my two room mates have a wireless connection. When I test my connection I have a download speed of 25 Mb/s and an upload of about 2 Mb/s. My room mates however have a download speed of .5 Mb/s and upload of about .5 Mb/s. They are getting full signal strength from my router, so I am not sure what the problem is. What is the problem and how do I fix this? They should be getting much faster upload and download speeds. 

    After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch.  If you have not done this since the last firmware upgrade, then please do this now and see if it corrects your problem.  If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it  ---  you must setup the router from scratch.
    If the above does not correct your problem, then the most likely cause is simply a poor wireless connection.  This can occur even if your computer shows "5 bars" or "full signal strength".
    There are many causes for poor wireless connections, and many solutions:
    First of all, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
    If your problem is that you are getting poor speed between your wireless n router and wireless n adapter, in the router, make sure the "Radio Band" is set to "Wide".
    Poor wireless connections are often caused by radio interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. This includes wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, microwave ovens, wireless mice and keyboards, wireless speakers, and your neighbor's wireless network. In rare cases, Bluetooth devices can interfere. Even some 5+ GHz phones also use the 2.4 Ghz band. Unplug these devices, and see if that corrects your problem.
    In your router, try a different channel. There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Usually channel 1, 6, or 11 works best. Check out your neighbors, and see what channel they are using. Because the channels overlap one another, try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors. For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, try any channel 1 through 4. For wireless n, make sure your standard and wide bands are at least 2 channels apart. For example try standard band on channel 11, and wide band channel 9.
    Also, try to locate the router about 4 to 6 feet above the floor, in an open area. Do not locate it behind your monitor or near other computer equipment or speakers. The antenna, if external, should be vertical.
    Also, in the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. If your current network is not listed, enter its info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings".
    If the above does not fix your problem, download and install the latest driver for your computer's wireless adapter.
    Some users have reported improved wireless performance by switching to WPA encryption.
    If you continue to have problems, try the following:
    For wireless n routers, try setting the "n Transmission Rate" to 162 Mbps, and the (wireless g) "Transmission Rate" to 54 Mbps.
    If you still have trouble, download and install the latest firmware for your router. After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
    Hope this helps.

  • Upload and download speeds of a DSL?

    I was wondering if there a program that tracks the upload and download speeds of a connection to DSL?
    Anybody create some kind of bandwidth monitoring program or Widget?

    Thanks for the reply everyone. I've tried the 3 link you recommendedand they all have their pluses. I don't need to track right now just observe the trafic.
    The best one for just seeing what is just going on was Menu Meter. It was just what I was looking for. It fit neatly on the menu bar and I can see the thru-put in action. It also has a few other perks as well. Great little tool!
    Speakeasy was great to just check the DSL upload and download speeds from 8 different servers around the country.
    If anyone has something new to add to this group of tools, I'll be glad to try them out.
    Thanks;

  • Suspected Malware slowing computer and Download speed?

    I've done a little research and found out that certain malware on macs can be obtained through certain downloading sites. My computer is becoming slower and slower and download speed is being affected by something ( tested speed 2.3MB/s but the speed im getting is 40-100Kb/s ) both of which seem to be traits of malware or other viruses? Download speeds used to be higher and are still high other macs on the same connection. Ive tried downloading and running BitDeffender Virus Scanner and it found 4 problems, 2 of which where deleted, 1 quarantined and the last roams my computer free, but nothing improved anyway. Is my iMac infected, if so how to i remove the infection?
    ( its only 5 months old and is running 10.10.1 if that helps)

    Please provide an EtreCheck report of your computer. However the first thing I will tell you is to uninstall (following the developers instructions) any antivirus, cleaning or other third party maintenance applications. Not only are these 100% useless some (most antivirus apps) tend to create more problems than they solve. There are zero viruses for OS X, however there is some malware out there that antivirus will not find. To avoid the small amount of malware out there takes just a small amount of common sense.
    Common sense primer!
    NEVER download from a torrent! Next do not fall for any popups, ads, e-mails or phone calls that advise your computer has been compromised. These are SCAMS!!!!!!! Next is do not download anything from a site you do not 100% trust. That's it, it is that simple.
    Finally keep your Mac up-to-date!!!

  • Upload and download speed is horrible.  it takes hours to download a movie from iTunes.

    upload and download speed is horrible.  it takes hours to download a movie from iTunes.

    VangieChuck the problem is definitely not iTunes it is your ISP download provision. Either your ISP needs to make a service call and solve your bandwidth issues or you need a better service, granted it all depends where in the world you are located. In Kappy's and my neck of the woods we are use to 5 - 250 Mbps download rates with an average of about 25 mbps for most city dewellers. Upload will vary depending on your service.

    The one thing it does not show is your noise margin. If you go to hub manager then troubleshooting then logs then you are looking for 2 lines when hub last connected to the internet which give your connection speed and noise margin. If you find them can you post
    the drops in connevtion due to the power cuts have probably increased your noise margin resulting in a lower connection speed and therefore lower profile.  Your profile is correct for your current connection speed

  • Power cut whilst downloading Creative Cloud applications

    Hi,
    i've been using the Adobe Application Manager to download a number of the applications from Creative Cloud. I had about 6 apps downloading when there was a power cut. Once i turned the mac back on and went  to the Adobe Application Manager some appeared to have finished downloading whilst others i'd originally clicked for download now just said install next to them, so i clicked them for install again.
    I've now finished installing and from the short time i've had with the applications things seem fine but i'm concerned that i may now encounter issues as a result of the interuppted install.
    Would it be better for me to reinstall everything or is the Adobe Application Manager capable of picking up where it left off if there's a power outage?
    Thanks

    I would wait to see if you are actually receiving any error messages.  You are welcome though to review the install logs to determine if there were any errors.  You can find details on how to locate and interpret the log files at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

  • Trouble with port forwarding, DHCP, VUZE, and downloading speed.

    I am using Vuze to download things. I have a slow download speed and yellow smiley face, indicating a NAT problem. I think I need to implement a port forwarding, but that requires a static IP address. My router and security is set up such that I CANNOT connect to the internet using a manual configuration--DHCP only. However, I always have the same IP address. This is because the wireless router--a Motorola SB900--will only recognize approved computers designated by the IP address.
    Can anyone advise on what to do next?

    you are dealing with two networks. There is a network between your computer and your router. There is a second network between your router and your ISP.
    Port-forwarding is from your router to your computer.
    http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Motorola/SBG900/Azure us.htm
    However, I always have the same IP address. This is because the wireless router--a Motorola SB900--will only recognize approved computers designated by the IP address.
    Can anyone advise on what to do next?
    You need to set Port-forwarding between your computer and your router. You will need a fixed IP address on a your Computer. There is to ways of doing this. You can set up a static IP address on your computer. A hack would be to add 10 or 20 to your IP address that your router gives out. For example if your router gives out 192.168.1.10 you of would add 10 to the ten giving 192.168.1.20. you need to make the addition to the right most number of which in the example is ten.
    The section way is . . . You can have your router a signed a fixed address based on your MAC address. ( Each Internet device has a fixed address that is called the MAC address. This is a different address than your IP address. the MAC address is assigned in the factory. )
    Another hack would be to Port-forward to the number your router assigned at random. If your Computer is the only computer on the router, the number should always be the same. It is a hack because this is not guaranteed.

  • Output power dbm and low speeds?

    Hello, I have been an Infinity 2 user for just over 2 years now and have seen significant decrease in speeds. In April 2013 I was syncing max speed with IP profile of 77.4mbps DL and 20 mbps UL. About a year later speeds dropped to about 55mbps DL and now I am getting about 28mbps DL. 
    Here are my current dsl stats:

  • What is the normal upload and download speed of a mac book pro?

    im curious because my mac book pro has been quite slow and its not old or anything wrong with it.

    There is really no "normal."  Uploads & downloads depends on your ISP.  Have you contacted them to see if the problem is on their end?

  • Power cut and now freeze mid start-up

    Help, help, help!!!
    I had a power cut today and my mac obviously turned off!! When I try to re-start it it comes up with the apple pic and starting Mac OS X window and then goes to a blue screen and freezes. I have booted off the install disc and that worked - I ran disk utility / first aid and it came back with no problems on the hard disk. I haven't got enough room on the hard disk to re-install OS X (Im running 10.4.6 if that is relevant)??
    Does anyone have any suggestions of what else I can try? I really need my beloved mac to be up and running!!!
    Many thanks in advance

    Power hits can do crazy things to machines. It looks like you're stuck with trying out various things to see if they are the problem. So...
    1) Try pulling out all the RAM sticks but one (maybe a RAM stick got smoked).
    2) Try removing all external peripherals except for the mouse and keyboard.
    3) Try seeing if all your fans are running (cracking the case open before you turn on the machine can help). Some freezes happen due to overheating.

  • Power Cut and HomeHub3

    Hi all,
    Had a Power Cut last night, well about 20 of then within an hour, and they have caused the Home Hub3 to do an automatic Factory Reset.
    This morning I noticed that it had done a Factory Reset as all the passwords and setting had changed.
    I also noticed that WPS has been enabled again aswell as the BTFone SSIDs being changed back to BTOpenzone-H and BTFON from BTWifi and BTWifi-with-Fon.
    Is this an update or just caused by the factory reset?
    Cheers

    ah ok, so it was unlikely that the generator even started as it was very short bursts of inturrupted power.
    haha all equipped then, We've just got an old corded BT 400 Decor phone when the cordless ones have no power and lots of torches 
    Would the homehub be ok apart from factory resetting it's self or could it also corrupt the firmware? All seems ok at the moment, just weird how it's enabled WPS again and changed the BTFon back to BTOpenzone-H, thought that thoses settings would be coded into the firmware and not actually user-changeable settings.

  • Azureus and Download speed

    The speed of my internet connection is 16Mbps but when I'm downloading something from Azureus my download speed never gets over 5.0Kbps. Could anyone shed any light over why this is and if there are any fixes or can hey suggests anything. There are loads of Peers so from what I gather it should be relatively quick.

    Its almost always the people hosting the files. The speed you get the files is very much determined by the seeders. It doesn't matter much about your internet connection.
