Safari way slower with WEP encryption ?!

I was wondering if someone could help me. I'm going crazy with slow safari issues.
How come when I use my airport network conection to my D link DI 624 wireless router via WEP
encryption its way slower than my if I had no WEP encryption?? How can I speed
up safari?!
Thanks
Alexis

WEP is discouraged nowadays. Try WPA, probably 'WPA/WPA2 Personal'.

  • Cannot connect with WEP Encryption

    I have had my new iMac intel for about 5 days now and I must say, it's been amazing. It's a welcome change from the dark and gloomy world of windows pc's. I have just one problem connecting to my wireless network when WEP Encryption is turned on. The AirPort extreme card on my imac can connect to the network fine without the WEP encryption, but as soon as i turn wep encryption on, and enter the code on my imac, it refuses to connect, sometimes saying the password is incorrect or other times just saying there was an error in the connection. I've checked the password many times and my windows pc can connect to the network fine using the same password. Is there anything I'm doing wrong? Am I selecting the right type of WEP? If I cannot use WEP anymore for some reason to make it work with my iMac, is MAC-Address protection safe enough? Thanks in advance for your help.

    I have just one problem connecting to my wireless network when WEP Encryption is turned on.
    I along with anyone else would have no problem connecting to your network.
    I could sit outside your house and crack your WEP key sometimes in minutes using tools readliy available on the internet.
    Even if you turn on MAC Address protection also it offers no security either. MAC address can be spoofed and detected.
    The only security you should consider using is WPA.

  • Why does my safari run slow with DSL?

    I recently had to change to DSL internet, and my macbook safari does not do well with it.
    I cannot seem to open more than one internet tab at a time, videos do not load, slow loading time for searching.
    Is there a way to fix this to where my safari is not so slow?
    Is it a macbook fix, or should I increase my DSL usage limit?
    My macbook is up to date.

    You will have to call the Internet Service Provider and let them test the line.
    Best.

  • Why is safari so slow with mountain lion?

    Every page that I load in safari is extemely slow after upgrading to mountain lion. I dont have any other applications and it takes way too long. I can open the same page on my PC much faster. I really hope Apple releases an update soon because this is terrible. Apple even promotes mountain lion as having faster speeds for safari (what a joke).

    It would be better if you explained what your program actually does - does it just do a dump of all user processes, does it check settings - what does it do that the built-in diagnostics or a list of command line instructions do not provide (that has as advantage that it's much more transparent what goes on)?
    It basically does the same thing as Apple > About this Mac > More Info > System Report, but consolidates the important parts into a concise report that is easily pasted here in the forums.
    After all, you are asking people to run an untrusted and probably unsigned program, so I'm actually happy they display a reluctance to do this.
    It is signed with my Developer ID. All you will get is the "downloaded app" warning from Mountain Lion with the default Gatekeeper settings that allow both App Store apps and Developer ID-signed apps like EtreCheck.

  • Safari loading slow with yosemite

    Even after this latest update, Safari is loading incredibly slow since the OS X Yosemite upgrade.  Any suggestions as to how to get pages to load faster?  Sometimes they won't even load completely. 

    Tried clearing the cache, resetting network, switching between ethernet and wifi - still 10-20 sec delays on certain web pages - mostly places I hadn't visited in a while. Same pages loading on Firefox appeared instantly (I tried loading Safari first then Firefox first, each on a "new" page, trying to eliminate a DNS problem). I then wondered if the new “synchronized history” feature that uploads to iCloud could be the culprit.
    Everything Apple is busy on Christmas.  So I tried this:
    Open System Preferences
    Select iCloud
    un-Check Safari
    I assume this eliminates communication with iCloud every time you navigate to a new page.  Delays are now pretty much gone - seems much faster, even when I navigate to a site that I knew isn’t in the cache (a site I hadn’t visited since clearing).  Hoping that will fix the problem for now.

  • Safari painfully slow with Maverick

    Safari is so slow since I installed Maverick; I don't get it. I installed Chrome which does not seem to suffer from the same problem.
    Am I the only one?
    I tried to reset Safari ans clean up all history and remove all cookies: there is no difference.
    Any other suggestion?
    Thanks,
    --JM

    *Note be sure to read everything first and ask questions if you don't understand something.
    Here is what I did to get Safari running 100%.  Let me start by saying that some of these steps are somewhat advance and if you don't follow directions well you can break something.  I essentially removed all 3rd party plugins and reinstalled them after.
    First User Specific Plugins (If you are only having this issue with one user this alone should resolve your problem):
    Create a folder on the desktop call it Safari Plugins User this will be used to backup the plugins that are user specific.
    Finder > Go > Hold the Option Key > Select Library
    Then open Internet Plug-ins > Move any plugins found in there to the folder you created on the desktop for Safari Plugins User. (If this folder is empty then move to the System Wide Plugins).
    Then System Wide Plugins (These affect every user, if you created a new test account or tried guest but still having issue with Safari this is a good idea):
    Create a folder on the desktop call it Safari Plugins System this will be used to backup the plugins that affect all users.
    Make sure you Quit Safari don't just close the Window.
    Finder > Go > Computer > Machintosh HD (or whatever you named your startup disk) > Library > Internet Plug-Ins > You can move all of the plugins to the folder previously created on the desktop
    Open Safari and see how it behaves if it works good then Quit Safari and move half of the plugins back > Reopen Safari and see if still OK if it is then move acouple more plugins back until you find the one(s) causing issue and reinstall them if applicable.
    *Note personally I only moved Default Browser.plugin, Quartz Composer.webplugin and QuickTime Plugin.plugin.  Adobe Flash was installed fresh, Flip4Mac was reinstalled fresh and Silverlight was reinstalled fresh.

  • Safari is Slow with TimeWarner RoadRunner

    I don't normally post on these boards (this is my first time), but since someone else's post has helped me, I thought I would return the favor. First, some info...
    My Computer: MacBook running Leopard OS 10.5.2
    My Internet Service Provider: Time Warner/RoadRunner
    My Problem: For the last few weeks, my page loads using Safari have been very slow. I would click on a link -- the page would begin loading -- the page would quit loading -- the blue progress bar would stop -- and then the bar would shoot ahead -- and the page would finish loading. This normally took anywhere from a few seconds to 45 seconds.
    My Failed Solutions (not necessarily in the order I tried them):
    1. I reset Safari. No improvement.
    2. I called Apple Support. They recommended deleting some files from the "Library" folder. I did this and there was no improvement. There have been some other posts on this site that have recommended the same solution.
    3. I removed and reinstalled Safari. No improvement.
    4. I plugged my MacBook directly into my router via ethernet (thus taking it off my home wireless network). No improvement.
    5. I tried using Safari on another wireless network (probably also using RoadRunner). No improvement.
    6. I installed Firefox. It was no faster.
    And then I saw the post below:
    "Sometime around midnight on February 26th (at least for the SoCal users), TimeWarner's RoadRunner service started intercepting failed DNS requests, redirecting them to RoadRunner's own search and advertising platform. To see if this has been enabled in your area, try visiting {some random string}.com in your Web browser. This feature subverts user preferences set within browsers, which allow the user to select which search engine receives their typos and invalid domains."
    I was not really certain what all that meant, but I entered something like www.1dfjdks4903.com into Safari and a RoadRunner page appeared. I had seen it a few times before recently, but never paid any attention to it. Then I saw this post:
    "Would you by chance be using Roadrunner as your ISP. I noticed DNS queries took longer than usual after they started intercepting domain typos. I got fed up with it, and pointed my DNS settings to opendns.org. That solved the problem. My guess, is that your ISP is the one that's causing the problem."
    Again, I didn't really know what all that meant (DNS?), but I went to www.opendns.org; hit the "Get Started" link; selected "Router"; and followed the directions.
    Problem solved. My Safari is performing as well as it did before I started having problems and maybe even better! If you have already tried some of the solutions above, and nothing improves, you might want to try this if you are with Time Warner. It worked for me.
    Anyway, I hope this post helps anyone out there who was as frustrated as I was a few days ago. And to the Mac users who put the above posts up that helped me, THANKS!

    I wish you had posted this a week ago, when I spent several days on the phone with Time Warner and had several of their support people out to try to fix this. What I've learned: most of their tech support doesn't even know about their new domain redirection feature yet, and the people they send out don't want to hear about it. They'd rather reset/replace your modem, blame your router or computer...In my case they seriously told me all our computers (we have 6!) were broken. I'm not kidding!
    From what I figured out myself, their system causes major havoc. I've had it redirect perfectly valid domain names (no typos), probably because my Internet connection became so unbearably slow and timed out? Don't know for sure, since Time Warner doesn't want to find out. I took screenshots of a page being redirected at 10:01 a.m. and loading perfectly fine at 10:02 a.m. I have screenshots of it telling me google.com and weather.com don't exist. I've showed all this to the technicians by they don't want to admit there's a problem. Someone suggested switching to open DNS as a solution. I may just switch ISPs as my solution.

  • Safari much slower with Lion!

    I am a massive Firefox user but in the last 3 months I have been switching between using Firefox and Safari, both are excellent, Safari has been extremeley fast when compared to Firefox, however, since upgrading to Lion Safari is certainly much slower now sufing the web, has anyone else noticed this?

    Quite the opposite for me:-
    Mac 4,1 (2009 MacPro, 12GB RAM, 4870 Graphics) and I find it's much zippier in both Safari & Mail since I installed Lion last Wednesday. In fact it seems faster all round - and I use Office 2011 and Adobe CS5 intensively.
    Got a couple of PPC apps which don't run, and had to replace a kext for my eSATA PCI card. 5 mins to replace the kext, PPC apps still run on my G5 dual 2.0 so I'm a happy camper.

  • Aironet 1100 AP (11.b) - am I stuck with WEP?

    Hi all,
    I have several Aironet 1100 series access point. These are the 11.b with WEP encryption. Can I upgrade those to WPA or higher, or am I stuck with what I have?
    Thanks in advance for any information.

    Hi Noel,
    try out this one:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_configuration_example09186a008054339e.shtml#config_ap
    This is a step by step guide for WPA2. You can not have WPA2 since the lack of a G-Radio interface. But WPA is possible.
    Just change these few things:
    Step 2a. Choose TKIP as Cipher
    Step 3c. Tick also CCKM
    I have the same setup running with 1200 APs only b Radios.
    The difference is that WPA uses TKIP for encryption and WPA2 AES.
    WPA2 is the modern implementation, but WPA meets the actual security needs of the most companies.
    I hope that helps.
    Best regards,
    Frank
    P.S. Please rate helpful posts.

  • Is there a way to connect an old Sunflower iMac (OSX 10.4.11) to a new Time Capsule?  It used to work with old Airport Extreme with updates thru Snow Leopard but now seems to only allow WEP encryption instead of WPA.

    Is there a way to connect an old Sunflower iMac (OSX 10.4.11) to a new Time Capsule?  It used to work with old Airport Extreme network, run from a intel iMac with updates thru Mavericks but now seems to only allow WEP encryption instead of WPA and can't connect to Time Capsule.  Airport Extreme Base was controllable from either computer up through Snow Leopard (I didn't do any of the Lion upgrades).  Then when I upgraded to Mavericks I lost the ability to use Airport Utility with this hardware on the Sunflower but could still connect wirelessly to network without any problems.  But now with the Time Capsule upgrade the Sunflower is blocked from network by a dialogue that requests ony WEP password, not WPA pwd used by Time Capsule.  Neither can I use the old airport extreme base to extend the time capsule network since I can't input the correct password/encryption approach to join it.  Is there a work around?  Would a newer but old Airport Express be able to extend network to Sunflower?  Or maybe a third party wireless (such as Netgear, Dlink, etc) that has browser type control rather than special utility?
    Another question--before I used MAC addresses to control who could access network.  Now on Time Capsule I don't see anything about this--so is it true now that the only access control is via WPA2 pwd now (which appears to be the encryption pwd and not the time capsule pwd)?

    I can’t claim to completely grasp the issue(s) you’re describing, but the underlying problem is presumably your iMac’s obsolete AirPort card. Whatever the case, an obvious (if not particularly helpful) answer to your stated question would be to connect your iMac with an ethernet cable, using powerline adapters as an alternative if you don’t want to have wire running all over the place.
    My still fully functional clamshell iBook, with an original AirPort card, connects wirelessly to my 4th Generation TC network by means of a cheap 802.11b/g/n USB Wi-Fi adapter. This might be an option for you too.
    Another question--before I used MAC addresses to control who could access network.  Now on Time Capsule I don't see anything about this
    When you edit your TC's settings the access controls appear under the Network tab, don't they?

  • Printing from web pages is excruciatingly slow with most recent upgrades of Firefox .Use an iMac and an HP officejet printer. Printer works fine with Safari and woodprocessed files, but not with Firefox and web pages.

    Printing from web pages is excruciatingly slow since downloading most recent upgrades of Firefox Mozilla. I have a desktop iMac, OS 10.6.8, and an HP officejet printer 4500 G510n. The printer works fine with the Safari Browser and with woodprocessed files, but not with Firefox and web pages. Help please! It used to print fast with earlier versions of Firefox.

    Hello and welcome to the Apple Discussions Forum.
    I have hardly any experience with HP printers but since your posting has not been replied to yet I thought I'd offer some assistance.
    With the printer status and ink levels working, it shows that you have a connection to the printer. So I would look at the issue being with the protocol being used for the print queue on the Mac.
    Since you have XP and Vista working, I would check the printer queue configuration on either box. In XP, go to the Properties and select Ports. Click the Configure Port tab to view the connection. If you are using RAW, then this is known as HP Jetdirect-Socket on OS X. So if you are not sure what protocol was used before I would create another printer queue, this time selecting IP > HP Jetdirect-Socket. Then enter your IP address and select the K5400dn from the Print Using menu.
    If this still fails to print then please reply. There may be limitations with adding the HP driver this way that I am not aware of. There may also be other driver options you can look at, such as HPIJS. If Greg Sahli reads this posting he has expert knowledge on this matter and will be able to offer some guidance.

  • My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words.

    My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words and looks them up via dictionary. I currently have a wireless mouse connected and I am still having the same problems.
    I fee like I may have a virus or my laptop is perhaps being accessed remotely. All of the sharing options are unchecked.
    HELP PLEASE
    Very worried!!

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
         after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
         Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
         Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
