Slow download speeds only on Bootcamp partition with Time Capsule

I recently switched from a Netgear router to an older 3TB Time Capsule (Model A1409). Everything works fine on the Mac side with download speeds around 25 Mbps, but when I switch to the Windows 7 partition it drops to around 1 Mbps or less. I'm running Bootcamp 5.0 and to my knowledge have all the necessary drivers.
My roommates running Windows 7 on their PC's aren't experiencing this problem. All my other devices are also working correctly.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Did you ever find a fix for this problem? It's something I've been living with for months.

WRT54GL Slowed Download Speeds (only 30Mbs down when old BEFSR41 got 50Mbs).

I just replaced my BEFSR41 with a new WRT54GL (to get WiFi support in addition to Wired Support). With the BEFSR41 I was getting 50/8 speeds. As soon as I swaped with the WRT54GL my download speed dropped to 30Mbs. Is the WRT54GL unable to get 50Mbs unlike the BEFSR41 or is there something I have miss configured? I am using the same computer settings as I used to and reconecting the BEFSR41 restored my 50Mbs Download Speed. This is with wired connections with the WiFi turned off (to eliminate any question of the WiFi stealing any of the processing power).

The BEF is a wired router which was designed for higher speeds than 50 Mbit/s.
The WRT54GLv1.1 can do 50 Mbps at most under ideal test circumstances. See here:
http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-reviews/26843-linksyswrt54gv5reallyisalousyrouter?s...
Now, unfortunately real internet is not ideal, shows more packet delays, packet loss, and often ISPs use some round-robin or similar algorithm to their clients. Exaggerated example: your ISP sends you packets at 100 Mbit/s for 0.5s and then another 0.5s nothing. Makes 50 Mbps overall, if and only if your router is capable often dealing with 100 Mbit/s traffic.
If you use the WRT only as access point, i.e. you connect it LAN-LAN to your BEF you have to make sure to disable the DHCP server on the WRT. Otherwise the DHCP server on the WRT will assign incorrect default gateways to your clients.
Disable the DHCP server on the WRT if it's connected LAN-LAN (and disable RIP, too, otherwise you start again to route traffic through the WRT which you don't want to do)

Backup my bootcamp partition with time machine ?

I have read a few discussion about this subject here in Apple Support Communities but none of them was really new.
I read that it is not possible to backup my bootcamp partition by using time machine. Does anyone has any up to date ideas on how to make this work in the best possible way ? I am on os x 10.8.4 and I use bootcamp with windows 7. I want to abe able to backup all my osx data, all my bootcamp data + an external hard drive data that I use for my windows files.
Alltogether in one hd.
Thanks in advance.

Look at CopyCatX to do a whole drive backup. If you want to include an external hdd then get a large external drive and make two partitions, one for the Mac including Boot Camp backup and one for the external hdd backup.

Time Capsule as router slows download speeds

Hello,
Over the past couple of months I have been having intermittent internet connection issues where my download speeds slow down from 50mbps+ (Comcast) to under 1mbps, per speedtest.net
I assumed it was a Comcast issue and contacted their support several times. They sent a technician over who had the line reset and that seemed to fix the problems, but a couple of days later it was back. Contacting support again, they had me test the speeds connected directly to the modem (Motorola Surfboard SB6141 DOCSIS 3.0). Connected directly to the modem via Ethernet, I reliably get 50mbps+ download speeds, but using my 4th Gen Time Capsule as a wifi router slows the speeds down to under 1mbps.
After doing research on these and other forums and finding people with a similar issue, I ran the gamut of potential solutions: changing DNS servers, changing wifi bands and channels (2.4 and 5ghz, all chanels tested), changing Time Capsule firmware versions (7.6.3, 7.6.1, and 7.6 are the only versions available for my 4th Gen TC).
I eventually tested with an ethernet cable plugged into the Time Capsule and have the same frustrating issue when directly connected to the router, which means the issue is with the Time Capsule functioning as a router but isn't WiFi specific.
Upload speeds are a consistent 10mbps+ wether I'm connected directly to the modem or using the Time Capsule as a router, even when download speeds are slowed to a crawl.
I purchased my Time Capsule 1 year and 2 months ago, so I no longer have AppleCare for this purchase. I am out of troubleshooting ideas and am on the cusp of purchasing a second wifi router if I can't find a way to resolve my issue.
Thanks for your help!

I can make a couple of suggestions..
You will need to install 5.6 utility on at least one computer.. if you don't have it available already.
1. Replace the ethernet patch cable from the modem to the TC.
2. What I want you to do is lock the speed of the TC WAN port to 100mbit full duplex.
This is only on the v5 utility.
Another method of doing the same thing is putting a small switch between the TC and the modem. Fast ethernet type would be best.. that will force the connection down to 100mbit.
You can also test with half duplex but that would indicate a major problem if it worked.
3. Make sure ipv6 is local link only.. there is no way to turn it off.
Having done those things.. I do note the TC lacks diagnostic and control tools in the firmware, to understand the issue. If those steps do not fix it is likely nothing will.
There is something fundamentally wrong in how the TC is handling routing.. maybe IPv6 getting in the way .. ?? Unfortunately there is simply not enough controls.
The fact that ethernet is affected in this way (though I would do the test with wireless off.. and ipv6 off in the computer as well).. there is little other choice but to get another router.
The TC can be relegated to bridged on the new router.. and still function fine for backup and wireless network for your local network.
If you have applecare on a computer it will still cover the TC.. but I think you may have issues proving the problem.. ie if you take it to apple it will work perfectly.. If you read this forum as I have done.. the SB61xx series modems seem to be a common factor. There is nothing wrong if you test to the modem from the computer but the SB Motorola modem and the TC are incompatible in some way.
I would like you to report the difference in gateway..
When you plug a computer directly to the modem..
Can you please do a copy and paste from Network preferences of the ip and gateway values.
ie this stuff.
Then I want you to get the same stuff out of the TC when it connects.
So we can compare the gateway (Router in applespeak) and if they are different.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 (now 6.2 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
For screen shots see this post.

Very slow download speeds with ATT U-Verse

Hello,
Experiencing very slow download speeds with Macbook Pro 2011, on Lion, and ATT UVerse Max, which should allow for an avg. 11-12 MBPS speed. Instead, I get a fluctuating 60-370 kbps speed. I am not experiencing this problem on my Windows machines (Laptop running Windows 7 and Desktop on XP), it is only affecting the Macbook pro. I wonder if this issue is a known problem with ATT U-Verse and Macs, I spent hours yesterday with their support online and they couldn't help me, stating that from their side all settings were OK; the first representative from ATT re-booted the router remotely and that seemed to work for about 10 minutes, and then it went back to a crawling speed...
Any suggestions welcome!
Thanks

Do you have QOS enabled in your router? Did you try plugging the win7 laptop directly and check the speed?

Very slow download speed with intermittent halts

Need some help.
I run Apple os/x latest version and have since yesterday begun to experience constant very slow download speeds.
I have rebooted the router and I have reset it. I have tested with wireless and wired into router. No real change.
The results are below and are pretty consistent no matter when or with what computer I test it with.
This is very frustrating and I would like to know if anyone has experienced this and if there is anything I can do before calling for service.
Thank you in advance.

I was experiencing slow downloading speeds

I was experiencing slow downloading speeds(13.68Mbps) so I called my ISP. The ISP tech asked me to disconnect the cable from the airport express & plug the cable directly into the iMac. When I ran the speed test again I got 40.34Mbps download speed. The tech said that was proof that the problem was with the Airport Express & not the modem. However, now I do not have WiFi. And now I am only getting an amber light on the Airport Express. Any suggestions on how to have WiFi without slowing downloading speeds? Note: Downloading speeds were good until this last week. Please help!

Hiya
Airport Express model 802.11 Version 7.6.4
Does it have two ethernet ports on it?? or just one?
You suggest that I replace the Airport Express with an Airport Extreme: I do have an Airport Extreme in another room by our TV & Blu Ray to enable Netflix movies. A Mac Store technician set up the wireless system that way in 2010. Can I use 2 Airport Extremes instead?
Yes, that is no problem. I am guessing the Extreme is linking by wireless?? Or do you have ethernet between the Extreme and Express?
I am afraid of suggesting this, but I would consider just swapping the roles.. put the extreme on the modem.. and the express on the TV and bluray player.. and it will probably work fine.
What are speeds like to the Extreme on the TV? Does netflix play properly?
If you shut down the Extreme, does the speed get better on the computer?
Are you suggesting that the modem should be bypassed and the Express should be connected to the Mac by ethernet?
Not exactly.. you should already have an ethernet from modem to the express.. can you plug another ethernet express to the Mac.. assuming your Express has two ethernet and not just one.
"Try manually setting channels and forcing bands with different name." : I do not have any idea of how to do this.
Try the simple alternatives above. We can consider this as well if those don't work.
Do you have someone you could call easily and cheaply to try and sort the problems??
Otherwise buying a new AE is actually probably just as cheap as getting a technician in to look at it. Not that new equipment wrongly setup will work any better than old equipment wrongly setup.. but you have a month of free phone support from apple when you buy it new.

Extremely Slow Download Speeds Compared To Pc

My PC when downloads the same file at 100+ kb/s when my MacBook downloads at maximum of 25-30 kb/s.
How can I speed it up.

I'm getting a slow download speed, what can I do to improve it?
If you are using a firewall or router, be sure that ports 6112, 3724, and 6881 through 6999 are open and forwarded to your computer and only your computer. Refer to your firewall/router's documentation for instructions on opening ports and setting up port forwarding. Also, make sure that no other programs that use bandwidth are running while using the Blizzard Downloader.
Please consult our Slow Download Speeds page for more information:

IPad 2 / Apple TV slower download speed than laptop?

My Apple TV (gen 2) and iPad 2 both have issues with download speeds. Netflix has pretty much become useless on my Apple TV due to the slow download speeds. I'm currently using CableOne for my internet provider and I consistently get ~ 20-25Mbps download speeds on my laptop, but only around 0.75Mbps on the iPad 2.
I use a Linksys WRT64G router and currently have it set to use wireless "G" only, QoS and WMM disabled, WPA Personal Security with AES encryption and the wireless set to channel 1. All these settings were based off other user's findings that have had the same issues and yet I'm still having problems.
Both the iPad and the router have been rebooted without improvements.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance...

wireless is unreliable for the speedtest as it varies depending on home conditions so only way accpeted is by cable. if that also shows a problem then you can take it from there

E1200 router: very slow download speeds, ok uploady got

I recently set up a new E1200 router to replace my old one. We are having problems with very slow download speeds (often <0.10 Mbps) even while the upload speeds are OK (8-10 Mbps). Our previous download speed over wifi was 10-15 Mbps.
When I first set it up, the download speed was very poor on the initial computer. After fooling around, it was fine. I don't know what I did that made it speed up. However, my wife's computer has had very poor download speeds. After rebooting my computer, the download speed has also dropped bak to <0.10. I was able to stream Hulu on my Wii just fine an hour ago.
What could the problem be?

So we could have this isolated, check how much speed you’re getting straight to the modem so we’ll have some point of comparison that from your internet provider. If through the router, you have struggles with not getting an acceptable value for download speed especially if it only happens with the wireless connection, you can try these: change the wireless channel and the wireless security on the router. If on the router, you have the channel set to auto by default change it to (3,6,9,11), just have to play around with it. Moreover, for the wireless security, select WPA2 Personal. If that doesn’t make any difference, update the firmware of the router, reset and have it reconfigured.

Why i have very very slow downloading speed on wifi on iphone5

While on wifi I am experiencing very slow downloading speed on iPhone 5. My iPhone 5 is a brand new phone, I have to wait for hours to complete a running download of about 40mb or so. Please help me and tell me if there is any solution to that. On the same wifi network I have the new iPad and iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S, all are working perfectly getting perfect speed while downloading but I can't on iPhone 5.

What you did was fine. Leopard is a little different to 10.4.11, but:
Repairing permissions is an important part of regular maintenance, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two.
Background information here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751
and here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

Target disk mode only shows bootcamp partition

My mid 2006 MBP doesn't boot anymore, I am getting the gray screen with the rotating wheel.
When trying to boot in target disk mode and connect it to my iMac only the bootcamp partition is mounting, but not the Macintosh HD, I could like to make a backup before I run to the Genius Bar.
Any ideas on how to get to the real HD?

I can't boot from snow leopard DVD either. When I try, the DVD just ejects. I was able to boot once in safe mode, repaired disk permissions there. Since then it's not booting anymore. Sometimes I get a gray progress bar, sometimes just spinning wheel. Can't even boot from external disk.
The only thing that works is booting into Windows Safe Mode. But screen looks fuzzy, with small horizontal lines all over the screen.
Before my MBP froze there were 8 horizontal lines around the mouse cursor under OSX.
I just want to try to get to my Mac partition to backup the drive before I go to the Genius Bar.

Sigh slow download speeds iPad

Is anyone having problems with slower download speeds on iPads and if so any suggestions to fix? Also some videos on my laptop, ex: like twitter mobile uploads I'm trying to view, are slow. Come to think of it, some youtube things slow to download on laptop, too, so not the sites' faults.. Is it Verizon's? Why is the download speed erratic to non-exisitent on certain videos with Fios?

The first thing that needs to be checked first is the FiOS connection. Go to http://measurementlab.net/measurement-lab-tools#tool1 and perform a speed test using a computer connected via Ethernet and see if the results match what you should be getting on your connection. Additionally on the iPad, visit testmy.net and perform their download speed test. If you have any additional PCs in the home that can use Wireless, perform a speed test over Wireless using the Measurement Lab address.

Very Slow Download Speed

Hi,
I am experiencing very slow downloading speeds, when I am just normally downloading something in Safari, or downloading a torrent with upto 100 seeders.
The maximum download speed I have seen on my computer is 80kb/s, which is painfully slow for downloading the Adobe trials, when they reach about 1gb.
I have a router, connected to 2 computers, and speedtest.net has told me that my download speed is 1mb/s.
It seems like download speeds are being restricted to 80kb/s, so is there any way to 'unlock' full potential downloading speeds?
Any help much appreciated!
-Ollie

I think you're making the same mistake a lot of people make.
The maximum download speed I have seen on my computer is 80kb/s
Safari reports downloads in kiloBYTES per second, not kilobits, so that 80KB/s translates to about 640 kilobits per second.
downloading the Adobe trials, when they reach about 1gb
Really? 1 gigabit per second? I assume that's a typo.
speedtest.net has told me that my download speed is 1mb/s
therefore your downloads are progressing at about 64% of maximum. That sounds about right - you won't get maximum throughput for every download - it will vary based on server location, network load and more.

I need to update to the latest version of Snow Leapord-currently running v10.6. Because of where we live the slow download speed for such a large file has kept me from downloading the update. What can I do short of hooking up computer elsewhere?

Do you ever visit a friend or realtive with a Mac who has faster internet? Maybe the local library has Macs on a fast line. If so, get a USB thumb drive and put this link on it from your computer:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Then put this link on the drive:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1429
When you are at some place that has a Mac with a decent download speed. insert the thumb drive in that Mac and click on the first link ("DL1399") and direct the download to your thumb drive. Now do the same this with the second link.
The installer files will now be on the thumb drive and, when you get home, drag them from the thumb drive to your desktop. Install the Combo update first.
