Slow data speeds and AirTunes problems???

This is a bit weird.
Lately I've noticed that my wi-fi speeds feel very slow. Downloading files, software updates, etc., are very slow. When I plug in via an ethernet cable, everything is nice and fast.
But here is what is also happening - I have numerous Airport Expresses around my house that are only used for music (some have wireless turned off and are connected via a cable and some have wifi turned on, but only for receiving music - none act as a wifi access point). I only have one wifi access point, and that is my Airport Extreme. All of a sudden, I can't stream music, via iTunes, from a computer connected via wifi to a computer on the wired network. But, if the computer is on wifi and the Airport Express is also on wifi, streaming works fine. Vice-versa also doesn't work (i.e. if the computer is on the wired network it cannot stream iTunes to a wifi Airport Express but it can stream to wired Expresses).
Something is very weird, and I think it has to do with the Airport Express not functioning properly. But, I have all the latest firmware updates on it and I'm getting a green light in the utility.
Weird - I know.
Any ideas???

It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference that has been introduced recently in the immediate area that is preventing your AirPorts from providing a good clean signal.
I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like MacStumbler or iStumbler to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible.

Slow internet speeds and dropping connection

hello, I am making this post on behalf of my dad, for a good few months (5-6 maybe even longer) we have been experiencing slow internet speeds and a dropping connection when ever the phone is picked up. when an incoming call is answered some or all devices connected to the internet drop out for a second then come back online, the connection does not completly disapear but causes any voice chat, streaming or gaming to disconect. We have BT wireless phones (not sure what exact type) which we have had for a few years. they are connected through an ADSL filter which as far i can remember has been there for years. We have a netgear DG834GT router which has also been there for a few years. I went onto its settings and got this information, not sure if its usefull or not.

KT880 Slow Screen Draw and other problems

Is there a performance issue with the Kt880 boards that causes it to draw the screen slow, and causes the onboard LAN to fight with the USB controllers?
Do I need to reduce the FSB of my RAM @333 to the FSB of the 2400+ @266?
Maybe there are some BIOS tweaks that fix this problem?

Not sure yet but I think I have sorted out most of the bugs.
Changing the FSB speeds and removing a stick of ram does nothing, except to reduce the system performance slightly.
Updated BIOS to latest. No change.
Repair install after removing Symantec AV 9 Corp, and System Works 2005. helped some.
Removing the NIC, uninstalling all Networking components then putting it all back really made an improvment.
Then I turned on the SATA controller and let it install the PCI to IDE bridges and that helped. Removed the VIA CPU to AGP driver and it reinstalled it's self. slight improvment on the screen draw problem.
Getting the USB to stop messing with the PCI bus was easy. I removed all the PCI cards RESET Bios data, reinstall VIA 4.53, added the PCI cards in one at a time then added on the 2 extra drives. Will change the drives to SATA next week.
I think the whole problem comes from the install CD I made with NLight. Nlight has an option to remove components, turn off SFP and modify the UXTHEME.dll, and the TCPIP.sys file.
After work Monday I will try a fresh install of Win XP OEM original on a spare drive, and update it to SP1, then SP2 and see how it goes.
So far game play is excellent with good frame rates and no crashes. My team mates were complaining of poor frame rates on a custom BF1942 DC Map with frames of under 10FPS where I was at 65 to 100FPS.
That poor KT600 I had was probably fine

Very slow broadband speed and random disconnection...

I have a problem with my home hub and broadband connection. The download speed is ridiculously low at only 768 kbits per second. I have been running speed tests all week and the speed has been getting gradually slower and slower starting at around 1.4mbits and lowering to between 0.4 and 0.8 mbps.The broadband is also losing connection every so often.
This has been happening for a few weeks now, ever since the broadband and phone lights on my Hub turned orange, then continually flashed orange, went green then went off and then back to orange, flashed orange, then green then off and this cycle repeated until I restarted my Hub. Upon restarting the power light turned solid red and did not change. So I restarted it again. This time it rebooted properly (or so it seems to have). Before this the hub was (still slow) around 2mbps although this was much better than the speed now.
I have a BT home hub version 1.5. I am on Bt Broadband option 3 meaning I should have unlimited broadband. Reason why I am asking for help is I am getting lag when ever I play games on My xbox 360 or browse on my laptop. Im in scotland, dundee in the DD2 post code area if that matters.
I have not tried plugging directly into the main telephone socket yet but as I have been using BT for well over 4 years and not had as little speed as this Im doubtful its due to interferance.
Any help would be fantastic. I just want to be able to play my **bleep** xbox again
Here is the DSL information. I have recently restarted my Hub (due to the broadband cutting out again). This is why the uptime is so low.

Quick update: Well, I moved my hub and have plugged it into the master test socket... Couldn't connect at all wirelessly, so I had to phone up the BT helpline, they changed the wireless channel and I got on after that (however the assistant said that my plugging into the socket should not have disabled the wireless.) As for the speed, well, needless to say there is little to no improvement. I cannot post my DSL stats, as I cannot even connect to my home hub via the ip address and the bthomehub.home address as the connection times out.

I have noticed that the DSL downstream speed has shot up remarkably (by about 4000) since plugging it in to the test socket, but for some reason, the IP profile is still very low, I would have expected it to have went up at least a little but it has remained the same for the past 2 days now should I be concerned with this or give it some more time?
Oh and I have an engineer coming to the house on friday, turns out when my parents were installing the broadband accelerator they inadvertently knocked out the wires to the extensions and now none of the extensions in the house are working so I hope he or she can resolve things with my speed and I will update on Friday evening, and again next Wednesday(after the 5 day period) to see if the IP profile speed has improved.

Slow Data speeds on Sprint

Hello I am in Austin, TX and the data speeds on Sprint is very slow, I can barely download text based sites. Is anyone else having this problem? what can i do?
Is Sprint doing anything about this or are they one of those companies who takes your money but does not provide the needed services.

I thought they had made some progress toward correcting this now, but there have been complaints about data speeds on Sprint from the first day they got the iPhone. If resetting the network settings, as diesel suggests above, doesn't help, then I also recommend contacting Sprint.

Touchpad Speed and Finder problem

Alright, I'm using a Penyrn baseline Macbook Pro that I picked up when it first came out. I'm loving it. It's great. So far, I've had a few big problems with it though.
1) When I've been playing some graphic intensive games, like World of Warcraft, my Finder and dockbar freezes. Like, nothing would work, I couldn't alt-tab and while my game would work, I'd have to reset the entire computer.
2) Again, while playing World of Warcraft, sometimes my Touchpad speed would get reset down to a slower setting. When I try and change it, it won't stay and often whenever I alt-tab between programs, it'll go back to the slower setting.
3) Is there any place, Apple Store and what not that I could get it in for a check up? There's a few smaller things I feel IN the keyboard that's a bit defective and pixel problems.
thanks!

Slow Inernet speeds and navigation

Hello.. I am a newbie so hope I can explain my problem accurately.
My Desktop PC is really slow espcially when I am accessing websites using either Chrome or IE.- Even Youtube is very choppy- ( Note..I have the latest version of both browsers but they are slow. (I am wired to my modem)
When I check the speed from my ISP using my HP desktop it is significantly slower than when I connect another laptop to my modem.
I have done all the virus updates,malware, disk clean up/defrag but it is still slow.
Navigating to other menus (My compuer, control panel etc) is not the best but it could be better in terms of speed
Could there be something wrong with graphics card or some other hardware? How can I test this.
I dont do gaming but I think this PC should be much better.
I appreciate your direction.

Slow data speed while in calls but not off calls.

I switched my 3GS for a 4 about 3 months ago on AT&T. I've notice recently that while I'm on a call the data speed is extremely slow compared to off call speed. I didn't notice this back on my 3GS.
I tested my phone as well as my wifes phone several times in different locations and in a different state recently.
Speed while not on a call is between 3.0-4.5meg down with .40-1.0 up.
Speed on a call is always about 0.5 down with 0.2 up.
Have others noticed this? Can others test and post their results. I don't think its AT&T since friends with android phone don't show this, but who knows.
I feel this may be a serious issue Apple may need to address if it is affecting others.
I use the speedtest.net speed test app with my phone sitting on the table.

Huh, no.
Has nothing to do with my account. If it was account related the slow speed would be consistant not only during a call and back to normal after I got off. Secondly, my wife and I don't have the same account.
This is something that isnt happens by chance. I can recreate it over and over at will. Its not some, "oh it feels like slow speed", it is slow speed. As I've stated, those are the readings taken back to back, over and over. Two different phones, two different accounts.
I asked for other to test on their phones and post results. @startxxinsanity If you have the iphone 4 and don't have that issue please say so. If not stop committing on something you know nothing about.

MSI NX7600GT-T2D256EZ speed and temp problems?

Hi, I'd like to buy a MSI NX7600GT-T2D256EZ but after reading this comparison in Madshrimps i'm confused:
http://www.madshrimps.be/?action=getarticle&number=12&artpage=1958&articID=460
At the time of this comparison, there was a problem with speed and temperature as you can read in the article. I'd like to know if this problem has been already solved, because i didn't found any new info following this article.
Could someone help me? I really like this card since there is no fan, but wouldn't like to find problems.
Thanks a lot.

Well the Link works but the described issue would only happen if gpu is overheating (as Aaron said). This is automatic core slow down and happens with any GeForce FX/6/7/8 vga when reaching the critical temp. Of course a passive cooled vga reaches higher temps than a vga of the same kind with active cooling. So good airflow inside the case is crucial to keep the temps down. With just an ordinary airflow (two casefans) the 7600GT-EZ never reaches critical temp.
The article you linked to also describes that the NX7600GT-T2D256EZ wrongly reports too high temps. This issue is unknown, I build a system with this vga sometime ago and it never reported wrong temps.

Sprint slow data speed & poor battery life on iPhone 4S

I am very disappointed in the data service provided by Sprint 3G! I have had my new iPhone 4S since launch day. The data speeds are miserably slow, if any exist at all. I travel for work and have been in 5 different cities (poor data speeds in all of them), currently on Maui, Hawaii. It took me 3 attempts to text a picture and once it finally went through over 10 minutes to upload one picture! Mean while my friend who has a new iPhone 4S on AT&T, is sitting next to me, texting pictures non-stop. I left AT&T for Sprint, I now feel I have made a huge mistake.
While, I understand that the AT&T iPhone 4S is faster for data, this is ridiculous. My aunts tracphone is faster.
Sprint I will give you a chance to correct this issue since you are supposedly working on this issue with Apple. No fix by the time the iPhone 5 is released and I will be leaving, as realiable consistent service is more important to me than price.
But, the really sad thing is I had to use my AT&T iPad 2 to even post this to the sprint site, as I can not even get my sprint iPhone 4S to bring their site and my phone is showing 3 bars within a supposedly 3G coverage area.
The other issue is battery life! From day one, I have not been able to go a full day without charging my iPhone 4S. Took the phone to the Apple store & they exchanged the phone. (Thank you Apple for the awesome customer service) but the battery issue continues even with my second phone.
With poor data speed on sprint & poor data service on the phone itself, I am very unhappy!
SAD!

having wifi on and the brightness up on the phone will also drain the battery more.

WRT310N Playstation 3 Slow Download speed and general lag

Hey guys, I just recently bought the WRT310N and got both of my computers working with it. One is wired directly into the router, while the other is running off wireless. My Playstation 3 is able to connect to the router but I am getting an extremely slow connection speed.
Right now, both PC's get about 6.4-6.5 Mbps download speed while my Playstation is anywhere from 600 Kbs to 1.2 Mbps. I have plugged in my Playstation 3 directly into the modem and got a speed of 3.2 Mbps and was downloaded a demo very fast, but I do not recieve anywhere near those results when using it wireless.
Any advice? I have tried opening the ports, but that only seemed to slow it down. A couple of days ago I opened the ports specific to the game NHL 10 and for two days I was getting such a good speed in the game that it felt like I was playing offline, which was great! Then this morning, it just seemed do a complete 180. Now when I play the game I get an extreme amount of lag, and my other games like CoD4 get random lag spikes. Like, I'll be running and I get a lag spike which seems to happen fairly consistently every minute or so.
Any advice? Should I try opening the ports again or what?

I think you need to adjust the wireless settings of your Router, The wireless settings on your Router must have been setup to its default that's the reason you are receiving low signal strength on your PS3.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select TKIP...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

Broadband Speed and Connection Problem

Since the 03/03/11 I have has problems with the speed and stability of my broadband connection.
The IP profile of my connection has now become significantly smaller than my downstream, suggesting that my line had become unstable.
I have checked the internal wiring, the micro-filters and the router, and changing any combination of these does not re-stabilise the line nor offers any speed improvements.
The downstream listed below has gone down over the last couple of days, once again suggesting a line fault somewhere.
I have contacted BT support about this issue via email.
If anyone else has any ideas of what I could try to help sort this out, I would be very thankful
Hopefully I have provided enough information below to allow any sort of diagnosis to be made, but I'm placing my bets on a line fault caused by the bad weather lately.

Hi
results from the BTlineTest
Download speedachieved during the test was - 109 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 50-250 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :3584 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 135 Kbps
No idea why it says "135 kbps" as im obviously getting nothing near that.
One example is "counter-strike" online multiplayer game, when i load it, my Latency is at a normal 40-50.. then it shoots up to 5-600, making it unplayable.
Maybe its the exchange i dunno, might just sort it-self out in the next couple days, but its been 3 days now so im a bit concerned.

Data reading and writing problem? how to set " Read from Measurment File express.vi" 's readout datasize?

Dear all,
I want to use Labview to process a data.
Now I have a array in a text file.
this array is very very big. which is at least row*col = 6 * 100000;
the column size always 6,
but the row size is ramdom, some times is very big, like bigger than 65535,
when I use "read from measurement file express.vi" to read this file, the array I could get always 6*5339, I don't know why. the column size is always 5339.
and then I delete the 1st row of the array and then write into a txt file via "write measurement file express. vi", it takes a very long time. almost computer has no response. after a while, no file was creat to record the data.
is there an efficient way to process such big data file and store the processed file into a new file
thank you very much
Jack
Message Edited by weichengatech on 03-09-2006 12:00 AM

Hello,
There’s no real efficient way to read the file if you don’t
know exactly how many rows of data you have.
Your going to just have to read a row at a time and add the results to
the end of an array (granted for the clever programmers there are some more
efficient ways to do this than just with ‘build array’). I would start by asking you how much
information you know about the file and what the exact structure of it is (i.e.
is it a binary file, a tab delimited file, or a LVM file)? Could you provide a screenshot of the code
you are running? If you provide a little more information on the file structure
we might be able to contribute some additional information.
Look forward to hearing back from you-

Cisco 837 speed and duplex problem

I have one Cisco 837 connected to Cisco 1900 and Cisco 2924XL. When i set the speed and duplex to 10 full duplex or 100 full duplex i 837 the fastethernet interface is going down. Its working if i set speed and duplex to auto i 837 router. I have 12.4(4)T release on my Cisco 837.

Hi
AFAIK 1900 doesnt support auto negotiation so better manually hardcode the speed and duplex to 10/half or 10/full on the port which is connecting to 1900 and
100/full to the port which is connecting to 2924 coz it does support 100/full.
