Slow Internet connection with IPhones using airport extreme

My Airport Extrem works fine with IPads and Mac Book but not with IPhones (very, very slow). Any advice?

Its Pretty simple if you need to change the network password on the wifi Just do a soft reset
To do this you need somethign small and skinny like a bobby pin then look at the back of the airport extreme for a tiny play button below that you stick the bobby pin in that for a full second.
Then go to your Pc go to aiport utility double-click your aiports name then go to the base station tab and you can change your password.
Having worse problems still?
Then you need a hard restart to do a hard restart (like last time) take out something small and skinny (such as a bobby pin)  and look behind your airport for a tiny play button then right below that there should be a hole or a button use the bobby pin and stick it in the hole and leave it in there for 5.7 seconds then take it out and it should be rapidly blinking.
Then after it finishes blinking rapidly you need to set it up again like you did when you first got it.

  • My 2007 mac pro has a slow internet connection with lion

    Hi:
    I've been dealing with a severely slow internet connection with my 2007 mac pro - dual quad core.  I have os 10.7.3.  I use wifi. 
    Typically, I'll experience difficulty loading websites completely.  Certain sites have a 90% failure rate to load most elements.  Other sites operate quickly from time to time.  Often, a site will simply fail to load at all.  My cable company cannot find anything wrong with my connection and other, newer devices don't have a problem loading sites.  It seems the issue is most likely related to my computer.
    Interestingly, I can usually "jump-start" the connection by turning my wifi connection off and on and this will (temporarily) allow me to get an image or video to download.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you for your time.

  • Internet slow with G5 using Airport Extreme ethernet

    I have the reverse of everyone else's Airport issues-I run SLOWER on ethernet! I bought & installed Airport Extreme two days ago. It's running into a DSL modem which is set up as a bridge. Our wireless computers (iMac/Intel and Dell netbook) have no problems. My newest Mac (2.26 GHz Quad Core, OS 10.6, ethernet connected), is fine, but my G5 (pre-Intel Dual 2GHz PowerPC, OS 10.4.11), also connected via ethernet, is taking 40-50 seconds to load a page. The G5 doesn't even have wireless capability, so I never loaded those software updates. Because of this I thought the G5 might be having a problem communicating with Airport, even through ethernet, so last night I updated to the latest Airport Utility package for 10.4.11 (21-20-49.pkg) This didn't seem to help.
    I usually use Firefox, but tried Safari and Explorer-same problem. If I reset the DSL modem to standalone mode and connect the computer directly, the G5 downloads at its normal fast speed.
    One last thing, and it's really kind of weird. I went to Network Utility and 10-pinged a couple of sites (google & bbc.uk). The average speed on the G5 for google was 23.945. The average speed on the QuadCore was 24.479! Slower!! I may be misunderstanding what this means. A page that takes 60 seconds to load on the G5 will load in 4 seconds on the Quad.
    Is it Tiger? Is it because my G5 is pre-Intel? Is it because Airport doesn't like me? Please help!

    Changing ports didn't work. But then I thought of running from the G5 to a different ethernet line altogether (got one for clients on the other side of the room) and the downloads were spot on. I went back to the original config-wall jack to a Belkin UPS for isolation, out of the Belkin to the computer. Swapped all the ethernet patch cords with no difference, but taking the Belkin out of the equation solved the problem. Got to find another way to isolate though.
    Last thought: I don't know why the Airport and Belkin have this issue.

  • Can't connect windows xp using airport extreme to internet

    Hi i just purchased my airport extreme base station. I tried connecting it to my windows xp for internet and so i can have wireless connection to my macbook.
    Im using timewarner cable as my ISP connected through ethernet. I choose DHCP in the configuration to detect IP address provided but I couldn't connect and it tells me invalid IP address.. (i followed the instruction from the manual)... I tried to do it manually then I typed my IP address,but it asks for
    1. Subnet Mask- not sure so I just went by whats default which is 255.255.0.0
    2. router address- I dont know where to get this.. tried 10.0.1.1, 10.0.1.2, 192.168... no clue where to get this...
    The light was on amber when I used DHCP (automatic)- which gives me error of wrong IP address
    After I did it manually with my IP address its now green still no internet connection (problem is probably subnet mask and router address)
    can anybody help please?

    Ace83, Welcome to the discussion area!
    I tried connecting it to my windows xp for internet...
    The cable modem should be powered off and connected to the WAN port on the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS). The PC should be connected to one of the AEBS's LAN ports.
    Configure the AEBS to use the same settings as the PC was using to connect to the Internet. The PC should now be configured to use DHCP and Ethernet to get on the Internet.

  • Why do I lose internet connection when I put airport extreme into bridge mode to correct Double NAT issue

    I reset my airport extreme router the other day because I was too lazy to reset the password on my private network.
    I have been reading the advice found on apple support communities and wide web, but the solutions do not solve any problems and often create new ones.
    I'm regretting because everything was working just fine.
    But I remember having this double nat error when I first set it up a few months back, but now I cannot resolve it.
    I would live with the yellow light, but it seems that this double nat error is preventing my playstation 3 from connecting to the airport extreme.
    When I put the aiport extreme into bridge mode, I loose all my wireless networks, even when I reboot the airport extreme and the modem.
    I try rebooting the modem, then the airport. and vice versa. No internet.
    I switch back to NAT/DCHP and the internet works fine on apple devices, but not the playstation 3, and I have the 1 Double NAT error.
    I have a plain stock Motorolla modem and I can dial in and see settings (although nothing about NAT). I didn't see where to see them.
    I tried setting the DHCP only but it said it didn't like the settings. is there a stock range i could be using?

    I have a plain stock Motorolla modem and I can dial in and see settings (although nothing about NAT). I didn't see where to see them.
    Exact model .. motorola make adsl, cable and probably wireless modems.. with some modems and some modem router.. we need exact info. What kind of broadband do you have?
    I would note.. some of the motorola cable modems seem to have issues with the apple routers. If you are about due to change modems.. now is a good time.. not another motorola.
    If the modem is a straight cable modem, the AE must be in router mode.. but you need to power down the cable modem. maybe for 20min so the new router can pick up the IP address.
    You cannot use DHCP alone.. the ISP do not give you a block of IP addresses.
    You cannot use bridge with a pure modem.. you will find it works.. but only to one device.
    The only reason you get double NAT is the failure to pick up the public IP.
    Give the info required..
    If you have trouble, I need the actual IP of the modem. the actual IP of the AE WAN port when plugged in. Screenshots are good.

  • Cannot connect to receiver using AirPort Extreme due to password protection

    I have a new AirPort Extreme and Harman Kardon receiver. I am trying to connect the HK receiver to my home network, after entering in all the necessary info (IP, subnet mask etc) I still cannot connect to internet radio, Pandora etc. I called HK and they say it is because my home network is password protected. They recommend I disable to the password and keep it without a password. Is this the only option I have?

    There is no reason to do this if your HK receiver cannot connect using wireless, as appears to be the case here.  You must have misunderstood the HK support person, or they misunderstood you when you spoke with them.
    The information in the manual only talks about a wired Ethernet connection.  There is no information that I can find that would indicate that the HK Receiver will be able to connect to the wireless network using wireless.
    Unless you can provide another link that would indicate otherwise, you will need to plan to connect the HK receiver using a wired Ethernet cable, or use a pair of EOP adapters to send the signal over the AC wiring in your home.
    It would also be possible to use an AirPort Express to connect to the AirPort Extreme over wireless by locating the AirPort Express near the HK receiver and then in turn connecting a short Ethernet cable from the AirPort Express to the HK receiver.

  • Slow internet connections with Mountain Lion

    HughesNet, the satellite internet provider, has been installing its new, faster (10Mbps) service and has found that downstream speeds max out at around one Mbps only with OSX 10.8.2. All previous OSX versions and other OS's get the full 10Mbps speeds, but Mountain Lion does not. Apparently a Mac running Lion on the same home network as one with Mountain Lion will have 10x the downstream speed as the one with ML.
    They are attempting to troubleshoot the problem and a technician says :
    "We are continuing to investigate Mountain Lion's behavior. From the outside looking in, it is tough to diagnose somebody else's (Apple's) software. However, what we see is that for individual TCP connections, Mountain Lion stops sending ACK packets regularly, which causes pauses in downloads and overall reduced speeds. If you have multiple connections going at the same time, each is able to get about 1Mbps, so applications (or websites or speed tests) which use multiple connections are less affected.
    There are a few kernel settings which can be adjusted on Mountain Lion which improve things, but not drastically. We are hesitant to publish those since they don't seem to address the underlying behavior of Apple's TCP stack - they just mask the symptoms by increasing some of the buffers."
    Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Has Mountain Lion changed some fundamental behavior that could be causing this problem?

    Apple Support does not participate in ASC nor do they read these threads.
    An AirPort Extreme is not a panacea for the phenomenon you describe, and whatever the problem is, it is not common enough to draw any conclusions. The number of variables that affect a wireless network is so large that a solution to your complaint from Apple Support will be elusive. Read this for one example: New Panasonic blueray player won't connect to my network if my iMac is running. Crazy things like that can drive you up a wall.
    All I have to suggest is to break down your network to the simplest possible arrangement. "Hard reset" your Extreme or other router and configure it anew. Confirm one client works reliably and if it doesn't, fix it. Add a different client to the network and repeat. If you are fortunate you will find that adding device #3 (for example) breaks everything, and you will be one step closer to solving the problem.
    Having an AirPort Extreme is convenient for participants here, since it reduces the number of unknowns. Third party routers just introduce an element of uncertainty and complicate troubleshooting.

  • Slow internet connection with gigabit ethernet?

    I have a 1Gbps (1000Mbps) internet connection from my ISP, using the internet speed testing service provided by local authorities, my internet download speed is shown to be at least 250Mbps (close to the max limit of the test) when my iMac directly connected to my wall ethernet socket. 
    However, when Mac is connected to the internet through my 2012 Time Capsule (all ethernet and time machine disabled), my internet download speed is slowed to 96-98Mbps.
    I understand that all ethernet ports on the 2012 spec Time Capsule is gigabit ethernet, and I have checked my connection using the network utilities, which confirms that my linkspeed is 1Gbps.  The hardware tab on my Network preferences also shows that my ethernet is set to 1--base T, full-duplex.
    So where did the 60% speed decrease come from?   Is this ~96-98Mbps speed limit a hardware limitation? Or is my time capsule set up incorrectly?
    I understand that similar questions might have been posted in the forum before, but I haven't b thread with the exact issue I described above.   Any help would be appreciated.

    Many thanks for your incredibly detailed reply.  All the information in your solution is correct, and while it did not directly solve my problem, it would have taken my a lot longer to figure out the issue without the information you provided.
    I didn't realize we're missing so many functions in airport utility 6.0.
    Anyways, upon reading your advice, I installed Airport utility 5.6 on mountain lion and checked the link speed settings.    Apparently it was automatically set to 100Mbps when connected to my cable modem.   
    Strangely, if I manually change the link speed to 1000Mbps full duplex, Time Capsule would report an "ethernet unplugged" error along with the consequential "internet connections" and "no DNS servers" error.   Since my ISP has been supporting consumer 1Gbps internet for a few years now, and since I am able to get an over-100Mbps actual link speed with directly connection to my cable modem, I am certain that my cable modem connection supports 1000Mbps local connections.

    You're also correct in that Time Capsule does not have a settings for "half duplex" for 1000Mbps link speed.  But hooking my my mac directly with my cable modem, Mac network preference pane reports that the 1000Mbps connection between my mac and cable modem is full duplex, so my ISP does allow full duplex 1000Mbps connection.
    After NUMEROUS tests, I discovered the problem is down to a FAULTY ETHERNET CABLE, which I did not use for my Mac -> cable modem direct connection.  This was why I was able to get gigabit ethernet speed with a direct connection but not through time capsule!
    I replaced the faulty cable with a new cat-6 ethernet cable and voila! problem solved!
    So here're the test results (using an more up-to-date speed test) before and after I replaced the faulty lan cable:-
    (while I'm at it, I've also thrown in some additional results demoing the wired and wireless throughput of the 4th gen Time Capsule)
    Faulty cable through Time Capsule:-
    New ethernet cable direct connection:-
    Wired connection through Time Capsule:-
    Wireless Connection (wireless-n 5GHz three streem 450Mbps transmit rate) through Time Capsule:-
    I'm a bit surprised that a damaged cable resulted in a lower link speed rather than no connection at all.  
    Also, while the throughput of Time Capsule can't really match the link speed of the direct connection, I'd say it's not shabby at all. 
    Thanks again LaPastenague for your solutions.

  • I am trying to connect to directv using airport extreme

    I am having great difficulty connecting my directv wirelsss connection device to my apple airport extreme.  the directv wireless device will not accept my security code.  I had the directv technician over for 3 hours and we could not solve the problem.  Help!!!

    DirecTV wireless capabilities are quite limited for a modern product
    Make sure that the name of your AirPort Extreme wireless network contains no apostrophes, exclamation marks, asterisks, dollar signs, etc.  Use only regular lettters and numbers.
    For example, if the name of your wireless network is
    kikuum's wireless network
    DirecTV will never be able to connect. Change the name to something with only letters and numbers, no spaces, and no more than 20 characters. So, for example  you could use something like
    kikuumwireless
    You may also need to lower the security setting on your AirPort Extreme router from the default WPA2 Personal to WPA/WPA2 Personal
    Open AirPort Utility, click on the AirPort Extreme icon and click Edit
    Then click on the Wireless tab at the top of the window to access the settings page
    Click Update at the lower right to save your new settings

  • Very Slow Internet Connection with Leopard Server

    I have build a new Leopard Server on a Dual G4 867 box, 1.38GB RAM, 10M external Ethernet Card on WAN side into ADSL router on 2Mbit/s connection where we have an 8 IP address range, nothing else contending for the bandwidth.
    When I down load a file using my Leopard client directly on one of our external WAN IP ports, I get maximum throughput from the links of the order of 200kBytes/sec. When I use the same client working through the Leopard Server, which is acting as a NAT firewall router, I get throughputs of less than 1/20th of that, e.g. 10kBytes/sec or less.
    I monitored the Leopard Server and it is under utilised in terms of CPU, RAM, disk I/O, port thruput, etc. I have also checked Activity Monitor and the whole machine is barely idling on resource usage, yet the throughput is abysmal.
    Can anyone give me any clues as to why this might be? Any thoughts on what else to check?

    They don't seem to have a 10.5 driver listed but Apple may have included one in Leopard (as in previous Tiger and Panther). You just "plunked" the card in?
    It does seem Apple has done some major overhaul when it comes to (ethernet) drivers as they now supports flow-control also at 10/100 Mbit. You have the interface (duplex) set to autonegotiate?
    Also my older Belkin (Broadcomm chip) "AirPort" PCI card only seems to be "semi supported" under Leopard as it is now reported as thirdparty but under Tiger it was udistingushable from a regular AirPort Extreme card.
    Maybe an update will fix this?
    Having said that the Realtek based cards isn't really know as the best working/quality ones.
    I have some older 10/100 Asanté cards laying around and a cheap Realtek 8169 (gigabit) based card I havent tried yet.
    I also noticed a soon two year old Intel iMac I got recently has a Marvell based ethernet interface so maybe other Marvell based cards would work in Macs (haven't really looked at what's present in Leopard driver wise). Marvell seems to get good reviews on Internet (SysKonnect cards). This iMac for example supports Jumbo frames and VLAN.

  • No more internet connection to P1i via Airport Extreme?

    After yersterdays (03-1-08) Airport Extreme update my SonyEricsson P1i gets no more internet connection via WiFi. Whats happening?

    Seems Apple temporarily removed the the airport update with no explanation as to why, but i see it is once again available for tiger as well as leopard.
    Not sure if anything has changed but maybe you should try reinstalling?

  • Sharing internet connection with Windows via Airport

    Happy New Year, all!
    I have an iMac Intel Core Duo connected to an ADSL modem via ethernet. I'd like to share my internet connection via Airport with a Windows laptop (which is running XP with SP2). I've read that this is possible and I've tried setting it up but the laptop isn't seeing the Airport network at all.
    I've created a network with security off, from the Airport drop-down menu in the iMac menu bar, turned Internet Sharing on (Share from: ethernet - to computers using: Airport). I have Windows Sharing and Personal Web Sharing turned on, and my firewall is off. But the Airport network still doesn't show up on the laptop.
    Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong, or at least point me in the right direction.
    Many thanks in advance.

    i am having the same problem. i have the mac connected but when i go to windows i can't get the page open that says to connect. when i run the mouse over the icons at the bottom of the page it shows the airport signal being excellent. but i just can't get to a page to enter the "key to connect". it is greyed out and shows that it is limited or not connectivity.
    please someone help!

  • Experiencing Slow Internet Connections with new Macbook Pro

    I have had the laptop since December and I have had several problems regarding the internet. Just a little background, I have always had pretty fast internet and have never experienced any of these problems with any other computers. My family owns 2 other PC's(ew) and they don't have any problems with internet speed.
    Examples:
    -90% of the time my arrow will not change to the hand when something is clickable
    -downloading songs takes forever, even when they are only 10 megabytes
    -pages wont load even simple ones such as search engines
    The overall feel of my connection is slow and the sites i use are the basic ones which dont require too many flashy things.
    When I reset my modem the internet works better for a little bit but then goes back to its old ways.
    If you guys could give me any tips on the preferences i should have please help
