Slow connection with build in WiFi card

I have a wanadoo family adsl internet 20 mbit connection with a live box. The live box is also a wireless router.
When i connect to the livebox wiht my toshiba mx40-231 the connection is very slow. The connection is constantly switching between 1mbps and 54 mbps and speeds between.This is also the problem. One moment a internet page is send in 1/10 of a seccond and 1 minute later a page is loading in 20 secconds! the strang thing is that the signal strength is constant high!
With the live box i got also a USB wireless stick. when i use this stick i get a constant 54 mbps very very fast connection.
It seems to me the build in wireless card is the problem. I have already the latest wireless driver and tried a few channels on the router.
Anyone got a idea to solve this problem so i can throw this wireless stick away :-) Very clumpsy thing this wireless stich on such a beautifull laptop!

Hi
If you check wireless board you will find many topics about this theme. It is known that Intel wireless card 2200 B/G make troubles and connection is not constant. We can just speculate why this happen but the fact is that this card has problems with different routers.
For example: Satellite M40 has the same card and work fantastic with Netgear router. Even with Belkin it works well with full speed.
I recommend you to install latest Intel driver
Good luck

Problems with build in wifi card in DV6-2190us.

Hi am trying to see if someone can help me out with a problem am having with my WIFI and also LAN on my laptop.
The problems am having is with connectivity and speed on WIFI and also problems connecting to a network with a Ethernet cable.
The problem am having with my wifi is when trying to connect to a network it takes me about 5 to 10 minutes just to try to connect to the network and once connected it will continue to say unidentified network and it will take 5 to 10 minutes to connect to the internet. Once connected to the network and the internet the connection will start fast and slow down to a crawl even do am 10 to 20 feet away from the wireless router and I have full bars. After the connection slows down I will get disconnected from the network and it will take me 10 to 20 minutes to get back on it.
Also when I try to connect to the network using a Ethernet cable I will get connected but if I unplug the cable and try to connected again I won't be able to connect to the network or the internet and I would have to restart the laptop with the cable plugged in.
All of the drivers on the laptop are up to date and also windows is up to date I really don't know what's going on.
I have formatted and installed Widows 7 done all of the updates I have also updated all of the drivers for the laptop but the problem continues to come up.
After talking to some of my IT friends we removed the build in wifi card from the inside of the laptop and changed it with a wifi card of a same model laptop to rule out problems with the card, but the problem continues to happen with the new card installed on the laptop. The card that came out of the laptop with the wifi problems was installed to the second laptop and the wifi problems came up but after installing the original wifi card the problems went away.
The thing that trying to figure out is why the card that came out of the working laptop won't work correctly on the laptop that's having problem with.
If anyone has any ideas on what maybe causing the problems please reply to this post I really need to have this problem fix before I start taking online classes.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post.

You are posting on an iMac forum. I'd recommend posting a MBA forum, however I think you best bet is taking it into your local Apple store or AASP to determine if the Wi-Fi adapter is damaged and if it is then checking to see what options you have.

Very slow connection with Mifi 4510L??

I'm hoping someone here can give some guidance. I am having very slow connection with the 4510L we just got. Via test on speedtest.net I'm seeing download speed of .17 MBPS at times it was so slow the test was not completing. I normally have 1 or 2 bars on the mifi unit and have seen up to 3 at times. I drove into town and see the same range (1 to 3 bars). I have yet to see the 4G light come on except for prior to activation (would light solid green at times) since activating I have only seen the violet light for 3G.
Verizon advertises full service both around our city (Richmond, VA) and at my more remote location in Hanover. I have been through the recommended resets and nothing seems to improve the connection speed. Could the unit itself be defective? Also, I've noticed when I go to a location website it thinks I am in Pennsylvania when I am in Virginia. Could the Mifi be trying to connect to a signal in that location for some reason (was refurbished device)
Thanks for any help you can offer,
Brian

I was having problems but upgrading to 2.28 seems to have helped me in addition to a few other changes I made based on this review of the 4510L
http://www.anandtech.com/show/4500/novatel-wireless-mifi-4510l-review-the-best-4g-lte-wifi-hotspot/4
1) "selecting WPA2 Personal/PSK (AES)"
2) "manually selecting a channel (instead of Auto) fixes almost all the instability problems"
(I'm not sure if it actually worked as the diagnostics always shows channel 0 no matter what I picked. I did try a couple before one - or the myriad of other things I tried - seemed to make a difference - at least for now - fingers crossed)
3) "allowing for one to select between each network mode manually, so you can force 4G LTE, EVDO, 1xRTT, or all of the above. This is incredibly useful if you’re right at the cutoff for 4G LTE SINR" (that's WWAN Preferred Mode LTE only for me)
4) I also changed my 802.11 Mode to just one mode that works on both computers at my house
5) I am also careful to turn it off when I am done with it and take it off the charger for the night as well.
It is my only internet service due to my semiremote location (no cable etc) and when I first got it as a replacement for my dependable 2200 I was about to pull all my hair out. I was "forced" into it because due to antenna issues on a local tower that supplies my 3G signal my 2200 wasn't even able to load my gmail account. Verizon very helpful on that - call us if its still an issue in a "few weeks"! However, when I inquired about the antenna's effect on a 4G signal, an intelligent tech was able to tell me that it was not the tower I would be getting a 4G signal off of - odd but I didn't question that possibility.
It runs very very warm but I suspect having it on the charger and using it almost all day is part of that. At first I was wondering if heat was part of the problem - going so far as to have it sitting on an ice pack to test that theory. Of course then I had to wonder if maybe I was freezing it -lol. I am careful to turn it off when I am done with it and take it off the charger for the night as well.
I've been on it most of the day and it seems to be behaving well - so fingers crossed

My iPhone 4s will not connect with my home WiFi network. I have ios6 on my phone. I have updated my IMac and my MacBook Pro with iOS 10.8.2. Anyone have any suggestions? It was connecting with no problems prior to updating my two computers.

My iPhone 4s will not connect with my home WiFi network. I have ios6 on my iPhone. The connection was working perfectly before I updated my IMac and my MacBook Pro to ios 10.8.2. I have had ios6 since I purchased the phone a couple of months ago. It searches for a network and finds them, but when it asks for my password, it will not accept the password. Have never had this happen before.

Hello krosebear,

My Ipad connects with my hotel wifi, but does not indicate that it is a secure wifi, even though it requires a password to access - no lock symbol, hence no password request, hence no internet access - help.

My IPad connects with my hotel wifi, but does not indicate that it is a secure wifi, even though it requires a password to access - no lock symbol appears against the wifi network, hence no password request, hence no internet access - help. My collegue who also has an Ipad can access the same wifi with ease, so it must be something to do with the settings on my machine, although checking the two machines, there appears to be no difference in the settings.

My experience with hotel wifi is that it's an open, and unsecured, connection, but unless you agree to their terms on a launch page, you can't go any further or connect. Sometimes I need to force safari to come up and even make it go to a page, to trigger the auto load of the 'agree to our terms' page.
Unless your machine is work provided so maybe could be blocked from unsecured net access?

TX2500 (and other TX's??) with BROADCOM 4321 WiFi cards, Win7

Maybe I'm the only one here with this problem, although given HP's history, I doubt that very much. So I have a TX2510z, and even though I customized the heck out of this thing, for some silly reason, I didn't buy the Intel WiFi card. (My Bad, never again!!). I have had almost continual problems with the WiFi connecting to Enterprise class wireless access points. (Such as Cisco, Sonicwall, and a couple others.) I've NEVER had a problem with residential class AP's (Linksys blue boxes, D-Link, Belkin, Etc.) I've replaced the WiFI card like three times now (thank Greyskull I DID buy the extended warranty and ADR package!!!!) I spent more hours talking to a "Service Case Manager" than I did to my wife for a while there. I finally had had enough, and in a fit of loathing, upgraded to Win 7 (enterprise 64), hoping that a more advanced OS would have better drivers. It kinda did, for a while. Almost all features of the WiFi card were working until yesterday. All of a sudden I lost all of my associations, and had to re-connect to them with the wizard. Oddly, one of the Ciscos I had been using, I couldnt add manually now. I had to use the wizard. WHen I came home to my Belkin, which had been flawless to this point wasn't even visible to the TX now. ALL of my other devices were interacting with the Belkin appropriately. I even attempted to manually add with a fixed IP addy, but it was like it wasn't there. It was exactly how the TX had been acting under Vista. Randomly ignoring AP's. I was about an inch from throwing the whole thing out into the snow. I happened to find a link which appears to have solved my problems (at least for now). :::
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=uk&prodTypeId=32...
And here is the forum thread I found it in. :::
Microsoft Support Forum
As I said, so far its working. I will find out how it manages the Ciscos tomorrow at work. If anyone has been having the WiFi issue with their TX series and Broadcom WiFi, please post something so I at least know I'm not alone/ crazy. I hope this post can help if you are haveing these issues.

I'd say go with Middleton BIOS either way (SATA II). In which case, get a newfangled 802.11ac card while you're at it.

Very slow connection with WRT54GS.

It appeared out of nowhere 2 days ago... slow connection for websites, very high latency for online games to a point where it's unplayable... i tried to reset my router, change channel(i'm usually at channel 6), moving the antennas... nothing. when i reset, the speed is fine for a few minutes, but after a while it's back to slow connection. My router isn't even 1 year old yet and it's already broken? I can't believe that, there must be some solution. Anyone can help please?

The latest firmware is 1.02.0 if you have wrt54gs v6 & V5 if yout got v7 the latest firmware is 7.50.0
First step you need to check is your direct connection from the modem.
1. hardwire your computer straight to the modem using a cat 5 ethernet cable, if your download speed and your internet connection is slow, the problem is with the modem or with your ISP so you need to call your ISP and double check your connection.
If your speed if fine straight to the modem then its with the router.
2.Hardwire your computer straight to the router if your speed is fine when its hardwired through the router, then the problem is with your wireless card or the wireless settings of the router.
In US the standard channel is 11,6 and 1. So play around with the channel. If its still doesnt work then access the setup page of your router click on the WIRELESS tab click on ADVANCE WIRELESS SETTINGS sub tab. set beacon interval to 50, RTS and Fragmentation Threshold to 2304.
After that turn off the modem the router and your computer for 1min. After a minute turn on the modem first after lights of your modem are steady, turn on the router and lastly turn on your computer, check your connection if its fine then its fixed if not call linksys tech support.
I hope this would help. Good Luck!

Hostapd with AES-capable WiFi card = hardware AES or software AES?

I've seeking over the internet but no answers found.
I have a board with Atom N2800 (with no AES-NI), and a high-end 802.11n wifi card (AR9590) with AES encryption/decryption offload support.
Now I'd like to build a wifi router with installing archlinux, and with this configuration. The question is,
Will hostapd offload the AES encryption/decryption to the wifi card? or use openSSL + CPU?

Airport Basestation A1143 slow connection with PC Lenovo Laptop

I have a strange mystery in my hands. I was issued a company laptop for work, a Lenovo T420 running Windows XP. During work I am on the intranet and wifi if I'm at Starbucks or other wifi areas. At home I have installed an Airport Basestation A1143 and had updated with the latest firmware 7.6 I believe. I have my personal PC running Windows 7 and I have a Powerbook G4 and I watch Netflix streamling thru my Wii. All connections are fine and dandy until I turn on my work laptop. The T420 connection is so impossibly slow at home. My default browser is Explorer but I have used Chrome and it is still slow, so slow that if I want to log in to vpn for work, it would time-out. My initial suspicion was there's something wrong with my T420. However, countless useage at non-Airport basestations proved me wrong. I even visited Apple store this evening and the basestation check out fine and the Mac Genius told me to connect the store's wifi and the same problem occured, is it just my laptop is not compatible with Apple wifi ?

Cordless phone interference is the most common cause of wireless network slow downs. Do you have any cordless phones there?
Do you have any kind of electrical device close the AirPort Extreme? Any other electronic devices need to be as far away as possible from the AirPort Extreme. That may mean that you need to get a longer Ethernet cable and move the AirPort Extreme to a better location away from other electronic devices.
A wireless keyboard and/or wireless mouse can cause problems as well if you are using them. Try to connect using a wired keyboard and mouse if you have them available to see if that makes a difference.
Apple' s support document on Wireless Interference will give you more ideas as well.

Loosing and slow connection with Airport Extreme

Hi. Before I start, I hope there are some who suffer the same problem as me.
First of all, I have a problem with my MacBook and Airport Extreme. The Network I created with Airport is getting really slow or unconnected with my MacBook. So I tried to reset both the modem and Airport. Actually, it kinda works, however this problem occurs later.
First time I thought it was the problem with uTorrent that I didn't use uTorrent anymore but it still has a problem.
Because of this **** problem, I have to reset my modem and Airport Extreme several times a day and it really stressed me out. Embarrasingly, I don't even know what the problem is. is ti the problem with My macBook? AirPort Extreme? Modem? No idea..
I need a help...
P.S. Modem seems working fine since the ethernet is working fine. maybe problem of Airport or MacBook. I think I should go to the Genius Bar but I am afraid that 'Genius' is going to just check once and say 'It has no problem.'

I too am having very slow connection speed issues with two of my white macbooks, both running 10.6.2, same airport extreme wireless adapter (built in). The strange thing is, these two macbooks came in a macbook 5-pack, and the 3 other laptops all have excellent speed. Nothing different has been done with these 2 laptops - all were updated (albeit the 2 were much slower to download the update), with nothing new installed otherwise...
There were some Macbooks that had an issue with the screws holding their internal AirPort cards in place loosening, resulting in noise and lower signal levels from the antennas.
You may want to try taking one of the affected Macbooks to a local Apple Store and see if you experience the same issues on their in-store network.

ITunes doesn't find Airtunes when connected with cable, only WiFi

I have an Apple TV with Airtunes enabled. But apparantly, it's not possible to connect to it from PC's who are connected to LAN with cable instead of WiFI? Does anyone know why?
More details:
I have 3 PC's:
PC 1: , Windows 7 64-bit with iTunes 9.1.1.12 (latest)
Stationary, connected to LAN using cable in a Gigabit switch
PC 2: 100% fresh install of Windows 7 32-bit and iTunes 9.1.1.12
Stationary, connected to LAN using cable in a Gigabit switch
PC 3: Win 7 32-bit with iTunes 9.1.1.12
Netbook - connected through WiFi
Apple TV device (latest firmware) is connected to same LAN using cable as well. *All PC's can ping the Apple TV without problems.*
So the problem is that iTunes doesn't find the Airtunes device (the output dropdown selector doesn't show up). I first tried on my main PC (PC1). It didn't work, so i tested on PC2 (wich is a fresh install of both OS and iTunes!), but same problem there.
But then the weird thing happened. I tried to install on my netbook, and it worked! Only difference is that the netbook was connected through WiFi. I don't see why that would matter, but just for fun i tested to disconnect WiFi, and connect with cable and boom - airtunes selection dissappeared! As soon as I disconnected the cable and reconnected WiFi, it appeared again.
Why on earth would Airtunes only work on WiFi? As you can see on this screenshot, network configuration is equal on Wifi and cabled connection. (Apple TV has IP 10.0.1.30)

It's supposed to be able to cope with slightly different file & folder structures, missing track numbers, all tracks in just an artist folder, everything in Unknown Artist\Unknown Album etc. Details here. Can you give me an idea of how things are set out? Maybe it needs a little tweak to cope with the way you've done things, or we could use something like MediaMonkey to reorganize what you have into something the script can work with.
I'm going to be out for much of the day but I'll look in on this thread later.

Very slow connection with db2 ver 9.1 client on win2000

I have been having difficulty in diagnosing why when after installing db2 9.1 fp5 client on our wind2000 box which has Crystal Embedded 10 RAS ( service pack 6 ) running, the reports that i am invoking using the Java SDK ( we have an online J2ee web application ) are very slow. I have narrowed the problem area down to where the java sdk is trying to set the table location.
Using the db2 7.1 client since 2005, we have not had this issue. We must upgrade to ver 9.1 db2 since this is being done at an enterprise level. I upgraded our test server to 9.1 and noticed this slowness. With the 7.1 db2 client and the same RAS server, the reports take about 2 or 3 seconds but with the 9.1 client the reports take about 40+ seconds each and this is always as the setTableLocation method. Once is goes through this, the rest runs fine.
I have tested this with a local db2 datbase on windows, a remote db2 database 3000 miles away ( same as with what the 71 client runs against) and it is consistently the same response time.
I did notice that if I ran my java online on the same server as the RAS server, the response time is great. This only seems to be happenning when the java app is not on the same server as the RAS server.
I also have a java stub that does not run in a web container. in this case, with the same code and the same databases, whether i am local or remote from the crystal server, the response time is 40+ seconds to connect.
The .rpt files are developed via Crystal Reports 10 and we develop on a local database and we modify the database credentials throught the SDK as we deploy upto production. I have also tried this with the same database we developed with and the same 40+ seconds connect time.
All of these scenarios work fine with the 7.1 client.
so it seems there is some connection issue with the 9.1 client only.
Need help urgently.

I have exactly the same issue.

Issues with broadcom 4313 wifi card on a samsung NP305

Hi
I'm currently having issues with getting the wifi to work on my broadcom 4313 wifi card on a Samsung NP305U1A. The command
lspci -vnn | grep 14e4
returns 14e4:4727, so according to the wiki, I chose the "brcmsmac" driver. I blacklisted correctly b43, bcma in the /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf file, rebuilded the mkinitpcio image, so when I type lsmod now, the only wifi modules loaded in my kernel are :
brcmsmac 569864 0
mac80211 221981 1 brcmsmac
brcmutil 6912 1 brcmsmac
cfg80211 165796 2 brcmsmac, mac80211
I still don't see the wlan0 appearing when I type ifconfig though.
Would you have any advices?
Thank you very much,
Tuxer

Hi everybody!
I've found a solution for this problem (at LinLap, see pierre comment on Feb-24-2012) and it worked for my Linux Mint installation. On " /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf" I didn't have the "blacklist b43" line, it was only on a previous comment line, but I commented the next line (it was similar) and added the same blacklist at end of file.
Uninstall the 'Broadcom Sta' driver
Open the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
Delete the line:
blacklist b43
Add these two lines at the end of the file:
blacklist bcma
blacklist brcmsmac
Save and exit
Type:
sudo apt-get remove –purge bcmwl-kernel-source
Reboot
Type:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source
Reboot
Select the 'Broadcom Sta' driver
Best regards and I hope this works for you too

Itunes slow connection with internet

HELP please someone!
I recently purchased an iphone 4 and so had to get itunes!
I never had the need for it before but I'm quite impressed with it, sorts my music well and works quicker than I thought it would on Windows.
There is 1 issue though, the connection with the internet seem terrible!
I can't stream the 30sec clips of songs in the itunes store! If I download a song it takes at least half an hour! =(
My connection works fine for everything else, normally around 3Mb/sec download speed, often more though! So don't have any issues with anything else!
If I download a song from another source, often takes a matter of a few mins, if not seconds. But itunes seems so slow on the internet!
Really quick to use, just slow as **** on the net!
Any solutions you can suggest?
I've got a Comodo firewall and Mcafee anti-virus and I've added itunes to their safe lists! I can't see what's slowing it up!
HELP PLEASE!
Thanks in advance folks!

How about the built-in Windows firewall - is that also active?
As a test if this was my PC, I'd turn off all firewalls and security to see if it made any difference. You can always turn it back on after the test.
Also I'd try closing itunes in the main account, logging into the windows guest account and see if it is slow there, too.
