Slow internet connection with wrt56g ver. 4

My internet connection at school is fast as long as I have my computer plugged directly into the wall port. If i plug the router into the wall and then my computer or Xbox into the router, I can barely get a connection. I disabled the wireless broadcast, but that doesn't seem to help. any thoughts?

Connect the computer directly to router …..Open routers set up page using http://192.168.1.1 ….you will get username & password screen …leave username blank & under password use admin.
Click on status tab …check firmware version & try to upgrade the firmware.

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.

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.

Slow internet connection with a Mac

Im in the Philippines using Globe 1mb/s internet service. It is a hard line connection to a Tatoo router. It is only running at about 107kb/s yet, when the tech's attach a PC computer, it runs at 850kb/s. What is the problem?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Mac App Store applications don't need an installer. In the case of iLife applications, you can just transfer the iPhoto, iMovie or GarageBand application to another Mac by transferring the application from the Applications folder, and you will get the applications updated on your Mac.
If you haven't got another Mac with a fast Internet connection, you can only download the iLife applications with the slow connection

Ultra slow internet connection with Maverick

After having installed Maverick my IMac 27 reduces The speed of my internet connection from 6 Mbs to 0.02 Mbs.
Who I shuttle down IMac The connection for my IPad and Iphone works fine.
How can I fix The problem?

Have you looked into Activity Monitor to see how the system resources are allocated, what they are, and then determine if they're enough to adequately run Mavericks OS X 10.9.x?
You may have to go into the Network preferences and double-check them, perhaps reset the base station and set up a new connection. Maybe a new Location, to test the settings, so you don't lose the older settings.
Here is a link to check general slowness in Mavericks...
•OS X Mavericks: if your Mac runs slowly
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13895
There are a few other things that may cause an upgraded OS X to run slower in the computer than a previous one more closely designed for an older computer, but the hardware upgrade is a place to look first.
{PS: not certain what you meant by the reference to other internet devices.
A shared connection could slow them all down, but not by that much. They
all share the same base station, so the issue would be in Mavericks settings.
Or in the general system to include possible items noted in the link above.}
Good luck & happy computing!

Very Slow internet connection with WRT150-N Wireless Router

I have a WRT150-N wireless router hooked up downstairs to the modem and I am upstairs right now with internet that is very slow, it shows it is 18 megabytes/second and the connection says poor (i have a wireless G card in this computer). I have another computer that is about 10 feet away from the router with a wireless N card and it says that the connection is 160 megabytes/second, but again it is running very very slow. The third computer is back upstairs by this one and it has a Wireless N USB adapter and is running about 170 megabytes per second. They are all about the same speed in opening websites but again are very slow to do so. Any ideas on what is going on or how I can get it faster?

First of all, the speeds you are quoting all sound like Mbps (megabits per second) connection speeds, not data throughput speeds. You really need to measure your actual download speed to tell what is actually going on with your system.
Use speedtest.net and test your system. Turn off all other computers except the test computer. Test under the following conditions:
1) connect one computer, by wire, directly to your modem
2) connect the same computer, by wire, directly to your router
3) connect the same computer wireless to your router
4) connect your other computers, wirelessly to the router, one at a time
Also, state the speed that you are paying your ISP for.
Report your download and upload speeds for all of the above tests.
Note that the speed that you are paying for should be about the same as your results from test 1 and 2 above.
After you have done these tests, it will be much easier to tell where the problem is.

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

How are you connected to the internet?
How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?

Super slow internet connection with time capsule.

Time Capsule wireless internate speed is insanely slow its super anoying, i have 15mb from comcast, and speedtest its scoring under 3.5mb down and 0.06mb up with a ping of 1025ms yees 1025ms this is unacceptable its almost impossible to use the internet please i need some help.

How can I get my time capsule to work like it used to?
Your TC is too old.. the power supply is on the edge of dying. The hard disk is probably also on its last legs..
The wireless card itself might be nearing EOL.. it is now 4years old.. or a bit more.. most stuff now is really not made to last more than 3years.. and the early TC tended to die in droves at 2years.
If you are prepared for some DIY.. you can fix it.
https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/a-deconstruction-of-routers-and-modem s/apple-time-capsule-repair/repair-type3
I have several suggestions. At various prices and difficulty.
I would replace the hard drive.. it is out of warranty and has run in a super hot environment that is outside its spec.. and still it refused to die.. at the very least run a full pass erase from the disk utility, and see if error come up or the drive is slow. It might be weak read areas of the drive.
Frankly .. unless you like the challenge, it is simply time for a new one.

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 time capsule

The only way to have the real speed is in bridge mode, do anyone has a solution?

Hi all,
first of all please forgive my English but I'm sure you'll understand the below.
I bought a time capsule 3T recently and after 2-3 weeks I faced the same above problems with internet speed.
Everything was perfect in the beginning but twoo weeks later I couldn't browse the youtube site so imagine to watch a video.
The setup is:
ISDN modem>speedtouch adsl router> via ethernet timecapsule-bridge mode.
To the home network of timecapsule are connected one imac one macbook pro.
Since there were two wireless networks, the speedtouch and time capsule,
I decided to choose the speedtouch network for iphone and ipad.
After the problem with internet speed appeared for the imac and macbook,
I checked the connection through ipad and iphone and was perfect and very fast.
I was confused and I read all threads about the same problem.
So I decided to join the speedtouch network for imac too and to change network-to timecapsule-
whenever I need to backup to the timecapsule.
I was surprised to see that imac connected to timecapsule, without have joined its network
and also it was possible to enter timemachine without changing the already joined network
of speedtouch router.
I think that the connection is possible because timecapsule is connected via ethernet cable to the
speedtouch so the connection is something like "dublex" or "bidirectional" (I don't know how to write it)
Now the problem has been fixed, timemachine works perfect and the internet speed is fast
as before.
I hope this helps and let us know if will work for you.
cheers,

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.

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?

http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=6&PFid=6&Le vel=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false
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.

How to install Lion on Mac with slow internet connection.

My father's Mac mini has a slow internet connection. I always update it by taking the update packages that I download on my iMac to his machine. Will I be able to do that with 10.7 (Lion) when it is purchased/downloaded from the Mac App Store?

It seems that Apple's license terms will allow that across Macs that share the same App Store ID, but I doubt that's the case with you and your father. Physically the update package for Lion could be moved, but the licensing issues will have to be worked out. You're not the only person who's concerned with the issue of how to download a 4 GB file for Lion.

Windows 7 Ultimate (64-Bit) fresh install, only WLAN and video driver installed but EXTREMELY slow internet connection...

I recently checked my internet connection on my Asus G53SW and found that it was extremely slow on both the LAN and WLAN connections. I checked with a different laptop (old HP Pavilion) and I get a steady 74mbps+ connection using the same LAN cable and
also with the WLAN connection. My ISP has checked their side and everything is fine.
To try and resolve the issue I tried uninstalling, disabling and tweaking various software and even tried safe mode with networking, all to no avail. I then decided to do a complete fresh install this afternoon. I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit)
successfully onto my SSD and everything went smoothly. I have now only installed Nvidia video drivers and the (only) WLAN driver from the Asus support site.
My WLAN connection remains incredibly slow (amost half what it is on the HP and my MacBook Pro). Clearly this is an issue with either the Asus laptop or Windows but I don't know how to proceed in order to eliminate which it could be other than to try a different
o/s to W7-Ult.
Can anyone help who knows more about this than me? Perhaps someone who has had a similar or the same problem because this is giving me a severe headache!
Thanks in advance to all and for any advice.

Thank you for responding. As I stated in my original post the reason I went through this process was because of an extremely slow internet connection from both the WLAN and LAN connections on my G53SW. At that time I had all of the correct drivers on the
machine. Whilst I would agree that with the machine only having a video and WLAN driver it may well not be working 'optimally', the rationale for doing this was to get the machine working with the minimum of processes to show that it was not anti-virsu software,
Steam or the like causing interference.
I have changed out both of the HDDs this evening (a primary SSD and a secondary 1Tb HDD) for a clean hybrid 1Tb Seagate drive. Once I have installed all of the Asus drivers (and nothing else) I will try the speed test again and report back.
I can now report that with a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 and ONLY Asus drivers as supplied the issue remains. On a connection where I should see around 75mbps I am actually getting around 18mbps, sometimes considerably slower. This only affects
my Asus machine.

Slower internet connection when connection wireless network

Currently using a Linksys WRT54GL wireless broadband (firmware v4.30.5) router in conjunction with a Thomson Speedtouch 546i ADSL router (ISP provided).
My problem is that when I connect to the internet over the wireless network I experience a much slower internet connection in comparison with when I use a tp-cable.
Tested with various online "speed-tests" (I know they are not to be trusted, but they do give a basis for comparison):
Over wireless network : ca.6000kbits/sec.
Direct cable from pc to router (tested on both routers):12-13000kbits/sec.
Hope anyone has any idea what the problem may be, and any help is greatly appreciated.

Change the beacon to 50 ....and reduce the RTS and the fragmentation by 40 each.....these options are found under the advanced wireless settings...
Also make sure that u have the latest drivers installed for the Wireless NIC.
