Significant drop off in bandwidth

Hi all,
I've had infinity for a few days now, initially I was getting 62mb/13mb download/upload however over the weekend this has now dropped to 17mb/5mb download/upload. Any reason why? I'm wondering if this is related to the recent network issues or has anyone else noticed a significant drop in speed over the past few days? It's a bit disappointing as it's little different now to my ADSL 2!
Cheers

I have seen a similar drop, 60/20 to 11/20 (profile speeds).
The speedtester NewtronStar mentioned should help. If your Java has upgraded to Java 7 it won't work. In that case, go instead to http://speedtest.btwholesale.com/, and after the first test click on to the Run Diagnostics, so that you get profile speeds as well as speedtest speeds.

What needs to be done to avoid WIFI drop-offs with Apple AirPort Extreme Base station with Extended Wifi

Hi there,
can anybody please advise me what needs to be done to avoid WIFI drop-offs every half an hour or 1 hours.
I use voip phoe calls a lot using my WIFI, However my AirPort WIFI connection drops-off while I am in the middle of WIFI VOIP calls. This is causing significant disturbance in my family.
Please assist.
In details, I have extended my WIFI range using 2 Apple Airport Extreme Base Station.
Main Base is - A1408 9 (5th Gen), and I have extended my WIFI in my L shape house by connecting another Apple AiPort A1354 ( 4th Gen) with AA1408.
Note1:
> when I am close to A1408 my iPhone4 connected with A1408 automatically
> When I am close ot A1354 , my iPhone4 connected with A1354 automatically.
Note2: these drop-offs never occurred when I had only 1 Apple AirPort Extreme Base station WIFI
I think, this Auto switching causing the slight drop outs in my Wifi when I am on the VOIP call.
Do you think that something is going wrong with my Apple AirPort Wifi extended?
Much appreciated

To help eliminate drop-offs you need to ensure that your extended network is operating at its peak bandwidth performance. Base station placement is critical in an extended network. Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details.

The signal strength on my first gen AE is dropping off.

The signal strength on my first gen AIrport Extreme is dropping off. Is this an early indication of pending failure?

Well, the First Generation AirPort Extremes are about 5 years old now, and 5 years of 24/7 operation is pretty good for a modem or router, so it might be time to start thinking about upgrading to a new, faster dual band model.
Personally, I replace the modem and any routers at about 4-5 years, even if they are operating normally. But there are other things to think about as well.
Chances are, there are far more wireless networks around you than there were even a few years ago, so heavy competition for the very limited number of channels that are available may be slowing down your signal significantly.
Five years ago, I could find two or three wireless networks around me. Today, there are over twenty.
I noticed that my neighbor next door was installing a new wireless camera and security system a few days ago, and he told me it was up and running yesterday. Yesterday, my wireless slowed down about 20%...not sure why...but I have an idea.
If you have added other wireless devices like cordless phones, Bluetooth accessories, a baby monitor, a new wireless thermostat and who knows what, all of these things can affect the performance of wireless network communications.
You have not provided any specifics on your network as far as the slow down is concerned, or mentioned any steps that you might have taken to investigate, so until we know more, we'll have to leave it at generalities and possibilities.
You never know. A new router might be just the ticket.....or.....it may offer no improvement at all. Every few days, we see a post from a user who has added a new router...and their network performance has dropped.
For this reason, if you are thinking of replacing the AirPort Extreme, you might want to check with the store on their return policies before you buy.

Machines 'dropping off' the render queue

Hi guys,
We have Windows 2008 server as our centralized storage. All the render machines have the shared folders mapped correctly with all the permissions set. We are using After Effects CS5. What we are finding is that after a few comps have been rendered in a multi-comp project, some will drop off the render queue. What happens is that the render window list disappears and the watch window pops up and keeps cycling as if it's 'lost' the project is supposed to render. Usually, if we reboot or restart the render engine and go back to the watch folder, it "might" pick up the project and carry on rendering. All the machines are on Windows 7 64-bit.
Any suggestions?
Jason

This is a known state, but not directly AE's fault - one of your machines is not able to access footage items within a specific limit and this effectively also shuts down other machines because they, too, go into this waiting forever state. Ultimately it boils down to too many machines trying to access the same files or directories and clogging up your network. The only way to avoid it is to ramp up your network bandwidth or e.g. instead of working with compound movie clips, work with image sequences.

Airport network speed - quick answer (and a note about audio drop offs)

I saw this question come up a lot when i was reading how to stop the airport express from dropping the audio signal... **How much bandwidth is all this using?**
Quick answer is about a half a Megabit per second on my network. yipes.
to check for yourself (...if you're using XP...), press control-alt-delete to open the Task Manager, then go to the Networking tab. You'll be able to see your usage there. Multiply the percent of Network Utilization by the Link Speed (for me, about 9% times by 11Mbps = 1Mbit used per second, but I stream 2 connections at all times, so that's where we get 1/2 Mb)...keep in mind that your network utilization is really determined by your router's make and configuration, as well as (and this is the real factor) the amount of collisions and interference in your network.
*and a note about a healthy airport signal and audio drop offs*
... looking at the Networking tab, you shouldn't see an eratic graph (it shouldnt jump back and forth from 0% to 100% and back). a few high spikes every few seconds is ok, even rising to 100% is expected, but if your average network usage is too high (say 20%), there's too much interference. secure your network (WEP enable) and/or filter the MAC addresses. AND play around with the wireless channel used for boradcasting. really.. try it... try all the channels... i got really discouraged reading all the voodoo answers on other posts. (personally, i stayed on channel 6,... i rebooted my whole network of computers and routers at once and that got rid of the congestion for me... for now)
...and if all else fails, call 800 275 2273 for tech support.

Selamat Phil Smith,
Actually do we know each other, cause i know a phil smith.
Actually an ether net cable is OK for the short term. But if i get another computer it may get complex. Spent a lot removing cables too.... Looks like i will have to buy the special modem router... Painful $600.
This share internet thing over airport looks like a great idea till you realise it disables access to the ariport network for the computer doing the sharing.
Cheers and thanks for the idea

Sound drops off when using hdmi outport to connect computer to an AV reciever

Satellite M640,I5 2410 processor, windows 7HP. After about three minutes the sound drops off when connected to the av reciever through the hdmi outport. If I touch the trackpad the computer reconnects for another three minutes and then disconnects. If I touch the the trackpad about every two minutes the computer stays connected indefinetly. This problem does not occur if I use the computer to play an audio CD. Any fix suggestions.

Hi peter,
try to repair your permission by open application folder > utilities > disk utility > repair permission.
It should fixed the unexpectedly quit for several applications.
And try to get latest info from Griffin sites, maybe this one will help too:

When I try to open the "markets" page on the Firefox hompage, it displays for 3 or 4 seconds and then drops off; I get a white screen; this does not happen with Explorer.

When I open "markets" from the homepage, it comes up but drops off after a few seconds and
I get a white page. This does not happen with Explorer. A similar but much more extensive
problem happened a month or so ago (I couldn't open attachments). I called Microsoft and the
fellow messed about with my computer for an hour or so, but ended up saying he couldn't help
me. However, when he went away, the problems went away.

Since I have downloaded IOS5 on my IPAD and synced to my IMac, Safari keeps dropping off before downloading the website, is slow, also an icon which accessed open safari windows is no longer available. Apps trouble too. Help?

Since I have downloaded IOS5 on my IPAD2 and synced to my IMac, Safari keeps dropping off before site is downloaded and is slow. There was an icon that showed how many windows were open on Safari and when pressed displayed them, that has disappeared and apps do not always download. Sometimes by making several/many attempts, it eventually downloads the website or app, but this is not right. When trying to dowload any lonks from an email, they simply do not open, it keeps going back to the home screen. Does anybody have any suggestions? I only bought the IPAD 2 in June!

Also the touch screen does not seem to be responding adequately. Thank you for any help you can give.

HP Color LaserJet 1500L - drops off the 802.11n network

My HP Color LaserJet 1500L drops off the network (it just stops printing). This happens when it is plugged into the usb bus of my new 802.11n base station or directly into the usb bus of a computer. The only way to fix it seems to be to plug it directly into a computer and unplug the usb plug and replug it, or to add the printer again. This problem has occurred in the past, but over time, and after various upgrades to the operating systems and hardware, etc, the situation tends to change. Before I installed the 802.11n base station the printer was staying in contact with my computers, but now it is misbehaving again. I doubt there is a real solution out there now, because it happened before and I never did discover a direct fix, but I thought the problem to be worth posting. This problem does not happen with my Canon PhotoPrinter iP6000S, which sticks to my network like glue whereever I plug it in (airport express, airport extreme, direct to computer, etc.) The HP loses contact with either of my computers in exactly the same way.
Mac Pro Intel Core 2 Duo, and iMac Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8) airport express, airport extreme 802.11n, cable modem
iMac Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

To use the OS X standard network protocols (Windows/IP printing), you must have either a postscript printer (the driver in that case is just a ppd for the OS X postscript output) OR, a driver designed to work with CUPS (CUPS driver). HP doesn't provide CUPS drivers for OS X (who knows why, since they do for linux).
You need to install foomatic and ESP ghostscript:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/foomatic/
then, install the foo2oak driver:

Elements dropping off my files when printed from a PDF

Please can anyone help... I am running InDesign CS1, I have recently designed a leaflet which included dotted lines for answers to questions.
To make the dotted lines I used the full stop button (rather than the dotted line option on the line tool). Because the file had an awkward bleed area it was necessary to create a PDF file (using the inDesign PDF export option at High Resolution, no compressions) to lay the document up ready for print.
However when I printed the document to a networked Colour Copier and to the Platemaking system the lines had mysteriously dropped off... Unfortunately I didn't spot that they weren't on the Platemaker Preview because they hadn't appeared on the Colour Copy (which I use to compare the two for errors) and so a 10,000 print run later and the job was rejected. Does anyone know why this has happened?
If I print directly from the original InDesign document they show perfectly. If I print the same PDF layup from InDesign CS2 they don't show. Yet if I print from InDesign CS4 they print perfectly from exactly the same file, so I don't think it can be down to the PDF or the typeface (which is standard Helvetica Light).
I obviously can't afford for this to happen again and it would be good to know if there is something I can do to prevent it... In a perfect world all 3 machines in the office would be running the same version, but in the current financial climate we can't afford to upgrade. I would use CS4 all the time, but for the other two computers which would never be able to open the InDesign files again. It doesn't make sense to me as EVERYTHING was created on the CS1 machine, so I would assume that the machine and software would be able to use it's own programming without issue.
Thank you for any help you can give me.

Why are you using the line tool or full stops for this? Use a right indent tab and use a "full stop" in the leader
http://indesignsecrets.com/tab-leaders-part-1-separating-columns-of-text-with-dots.php
http://indesignsecrets.com/tab-leaders-part-2-formatting-leaders.php
I'm not clear on what version of InDesign you are referring to - CS1, CS2, CS4?
As for why it's not appearing, that is a mystery? Any screenshots ?

Sound drops off after 15 minutes after upgrading from windows 7 to Windows 8.1.

I upgraded my PC from Windows 7 to Windows 8. Then, from Windows 8 to Wimdows 8.1. When playing a Movie I've downloaded from iTunes it plays normally for a good while. Then, after 15 minuites or so the sound drops off. If I close and reopen iTunes it plays again for about the same time. I had to do that five or six times to get through a movie. I've tried installing the latest sound drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling the latests iTunes with no luck fixing the issue. I have my PC connected to my TV via HDMI cable. Any suggestions?

Hi,
You could download and install the trial version of Photoshop Elements 12.
For your serial number, try this:-
Go to Adobe.com and there should be a button to Manage account - click on that and sign in with your Adobe Id.
Click on View All under Plans & Products
Click on View other products
After a short while, you should see your Photoshop Elements appear and you can expand it to see your serial number.
The serial number can be entered into the trial version to activate it.
Do you have your catalog and images?

HI,As you said Its dropped off from domain meaning it already disconnected the connection from AD.Thats why UPA is not working.Once the server is added back to Domain,The UPA will not connect to automatically.So iwould suggest to create the UPA connections
again and crawl the Import.Check the below link on the issue with UPA.

AirPlay Speakers drop off iTunes list - help!

My 4 AirPlay speakers (Bose, JBL, iHome) have worked fine connected by wi-fi to my Netgear WNDR4000 router. I play from iTunes, and also sometimes stream radio directly from my iPhone or iPad.
I have had some issues with poor wi-fi coverage, so yesterday I up graded to a high end Wireless Access Point, the EnGenius EAP-1750h. This is a 802.1ac dual band high power device - the signal strength is amazing. I have turned off wi-fi on my router completely, and am using the access point for wi-fi connections.
The issue I am having is that the AIrPlay devices are falling off iTunes after a variable time (minutes to hours). If I click on them in the iTunes airplay list, they disappear and I cannot connect to them. At the same time, the "connected devices" lists of the access point and the router show that the speakers are still connected. There is NO issue with internet access on any devices. REBOOTING THE ACCESS POINT BRINGS THE DEVICES BACK, until they drop off again.
I am thinking that perhaps there is a bonjour port that keeps track of the devices that is not making it from the WAP to the router or something - and Apple in its wisdom makes it really hard to find out such info. I am an experienced user, and do not have any gross mistakes in my device configuration; I have read the relevant Apple support documents. I am not an IT tech, however, and I am not familiar with some the advanced settings, particularly of the WAP, which is a high-end business-oriented device.
All the AirPlay devices are connected on the 2.4Ghz network. The base PC is hardwired by Ethernet to the router. Turning off the 5Ghz band completely and using only a single 2.4Ghz network does not help. All software and firmware of all devices is up to date.
Does this ring any bell to anyone? I sthere a setting that will fix this? I love the WAP, but I will have to bring it back if I can't get AirPlay to work! I'm sure it is not a hardware defect issue - it is an Apple AirPlay configuration issue - that's why I am posting here. Help appreciated!!

Recreating the speakers didn't work for me. I am not sure what the issue could be at this point. Any help would be apreaciated.
