Slow internet on laptop

Hi, I bought a WRT54GS last week. Its connected to my PC and my laptop (wich i bought last week too). The internet on my PC is ok, but its really slow on my laptop. Some sites that usually takes 2 sec to load takes like 2 mins. The only sites that seems to be working normally are google and hotmail.  All the other ones takes forever to load or don't load at all. I have XP on my PC and Vista on my laptop. My internet connection is DSL. What can I do?

If we call Windows XP a car, we can call Vista a truck.
Check the memory of your laptop and make sure how much is it. Vista needs more memory, for example, 1GB. Then uninstall all of the software which you won't use anymore.

    Wifi issues are one of the common issues being reported by users.  There is not much you can do at this point but wait and hope that th 10.8.1 update will address these issues.

  • Slow internet on mid 2011 macbook air

    So my internet is intermittently slow on my macbook air. This has been happening for many months although I cannot remember if it corresponded with upgrading to OS X 10.9. It is sporadic and I cannot identify any precipitating causes or solutions. My internet speed will just randomly drop and then eventually will correct itself where I will have the 15mbps download speed that I am paying for through my ISP. When the internet speed drops I will average 0.6 - 1.5mbps on speediest.net. This seems to be only isolated to my mid 2011 macbook air as my other laptop - a PC, and my iPhone show regular speeds. I have called my ISP and router customer service departments many times with no help. I have replaced my wireless router. Please help. 
    Nothing has worked. I have tried everything that I can think of including:
    1. Installed all OS updates - this seemed to work for about a day and then back to the same slow internet speed
    2. restarting the computer
    3. restarting in safe mode
    4. uninstalled and reinstalled the wifi network
    5. restart modem and router
    6. replaced router with a new model
    7. changed wireless security settings on wireless router and channels'
    8. changed DNS to google 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
    9 installed onyx and cleaned system
    10. ran virus check
    11. disabled safari plugins
    12. deleted preferences.plist and networkinterfaces.plist
    13 turned off bluetooth on mac
    14. turned off wifi on all other devices
    15. disabling and enabling wifi networks
    16. run diagnostics on wifi - normal

  • 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.

  • MacBook Pro and Wi-Fi Slow Internet Connection

    Hi There,
    I just got Macbook Pro. I am new Mac user and ran into strange problem. when I connect to internet through Wi-Fi the speed is really awful in comparison with my other windows based laptop at the same time.
    How could I solve this problem? I mean, is there any specific setting I am supposed to do to overcome my slow internet speed?
    Thank you

    I did test my internet speed through site " www.speakeasy.net/speedtest ". There was not any big

    Your ISP's DNS servers are not communicating with your Mac properly. This is a common problem. Follow the instructions and setup your own DNS servers from OpenDNS: http://www.opendns.com/

  • Cant download LION on slow internet. Starts over after disconnection.

    Currently deployed to Africa with USAF. Hard drive crashed on old white macbook. Installed new drive and reinstalled original Snow Leopard. Fully updated all software.
    Went to app store to download Lion. I can download approx 1 GB per day on slow internet. Each time my laptop is disconnected from the internet and I reconnect later, Lion starts its download from ZERO.
    I "pause" it and it says "780mb downloaded" etc.... I come back the next day and it starts all over again from zero bytes.
    Help!
    I wouldn,t care so much being stuck with Snow Leopard, except my personal USB drive is encrypted with Lion so I cant access it right now.
    -Bryan

    Ok, after some more mucking about I have made some progress. By changing MTU to 100 I can get pages to load, albeit slowly. At least now I can post about this from my main box ;-).
    I have noticed the following things:
    - With MTU 100 pages load, but my adsl broadband is about as slow as an old modem. I get about 1Kbps on ftp downloads. After ~200K the transfer stalls.
    - When using aMule i notice that my eth0 monitor (in superkaramba) indicates outward traffic of about 20 Kbps, eventhough aMule itself only indicates 5Kbps being transferred.
    - When I ping my router by doing "ping 192.168.0.1" I have about 10% packet loss. This does not happen on my laptop.
    So, I'm stuck with the following questions:
    - Why does my internet grind to a halt when I use MTU>1000?
    - Why do my downloads halt after ~100K?
    - Where do I start looking for differences in my LAPTOP setup, which works fine, and my MAIN BOX, which does not?

  • MacBook Pro, Lion and slow internet

    I upgraded to Lion yesterday to see if it resolves a persistent slow internet connectivity problem but unfortunately to no effect.
    Symptoms are:
    slow connectivity / download on both wireless and wired connections.
    Compared to my Alienware Windows laptop, the MacBook achieves less than 10% of the downoad and upload speed in either state
    Speed has been checked on many sites including speedtest.net  - practically, connection is sluggish for both web and non-web internet use.
    Ping to sites is identical on the Macbook Pro and my windows machine. There is no drop of ping or excessive variation.
    The issue is independant of browser - Firefox, Safari, etc
    I have a BT 40MB infinity connection at home and a 10MB uncontended leased line connection at work - the issue exists wired or wireless in both arenas
    I can achieve download speeds of around 38 Mbps on my Alienware, wired, and 17 Mbps wireless. This compares to less than 2 Mbps on the Macbook Pro
    The condition started under Snow Leopard about 4 weeks ago - unsure if it was after a routine upgrade
    Following advice on these boards I have tried changing DNS to various open DNS, with no success
    I have tried altering the mtu settings as directed, with no impact
    The issue is therefore independant of router, internet provider ( I have access to three), wired or wireless connectivity. It also preexisted the Lion upgrade
    I know there are other, similar threads on here, but my symptoms are different (no drop of ping, not just a wireless issue, multiple networks)
    Any suggestions or recommendations would be welcome.
    Cheers

    Thanks for advise but now resolved.
    Being paranoid and from a Windows background I had put an anti-virus program on - Sophos. Frankly I had forgotten about it. Turing it off resulted in a 1000% improvement in my internet speed. Who would have known?
    OK I should have guessed a little earlier.
    Cheers

  • Slow internet connect from home, nowhere else, and PC's are fine through home internet connection?

    When I'm at my apartment with 18 mbps internet my MacBook Pro has absolutly no problems with the internet. When I come to my parents house to stay where they have 15 mbps internet my laptop is rediculously slow. I thought it was the fact that more people are connected but on every other device it works fine, my iPad and my parents PC's have no problem. I am at a complete loss I have tried to run a diagnostic multiple times and have done the DNS Servers 4.2.2.1. and 4.2.2.2 which helped slightly but there are points when the internet gives up, it just never loads. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Turn off IPV6 in your Network Settings

  • SLOW internet while streaming??  Anyone else have this problem??

    I've looked everywhere and I can't seem to find anyone that has this problem:
    I have an appleTV using 802.11N on a gigabit AEBS, with a core2duo macbook pro. Here's the funny part. It syncs beautifully fast without a hitch. No dropouts or anything. However, while it's syncing, all internet connectivity on my macbook pro is entirely cut off! Websites won't load, email won't send, ichat logs out, everything just goes down to a crawl, meanwhile the appletv syncs very fast. I've tested to make sure the internet connection isn't down by surfing on my iPhone and my mom's imac, and they both have fine internet connectivity while the appletv is syncing.
    I've also tested the network speed to and from the airdisk. I assumed if it was my macbook pro's airport card that maybe when it goes really fast, it doesn't allow other traffic. Well, I moved big files back and forth through the airdisk at high speeds and internet seems fine. It's only when it's between the appletv and the macbook pro that the internet breaks...
    I also tried it through an airport express with 802.11g and slower network speeds with the same result, so that rules out the base station.
    Has anyone else had this problem? It's so frustrating because I have been forced to turn off appletv syncing entirely!

    Well I know when syncing my iPhone, I have issues with internet speed on my Laptop (windows based) and also I cannot check email (fails to connect). Once syncing is done, mail works fine and I am browsing at full speed again.
    I can only assume the sync process itself on the machine it is on is the issue. I figured it was just gonna be more so for Windows machines as iTunes on Windows is a huge resource hog when doing anything (downloading podcasts, syncing, etc). I just figured my slow internet access was more about iTunes bringing windows to a crawl during the sync and as for email assumed the sync process hoses what ports I can get out on.
    Nice to see it messes with Mac users as well
    Not sure why you have to turn off syncing entirely though. Won't it only do a sync if something changes? Mine doesn't sit there always sycning.

  • Sudden Slow Internet (for the past month or two)

    Hi all,
    I've had my iMac since December 2009 and it's always been well behaved.  However, in the past couple of months, the internet speed has been inconsistent to the point where it is now pretty much as slow as it could ever be.  Web pages take minutes to load, Dropbox is a no go and Skype just cuts out.
    As well as the iMac, I have a Macbook and an iPhone and the internet on these is still as fast as ever.
    I rang my internet service provider and they did a few rough tests before claiming it was the Mac that is at fault, especially if the laptop and phone speeds are okay.
    So I just wanted to ask, are there any causes for slow internet?  Is there anything I can do?  Shoudl I investigate further with my ISP?
    Ben

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them; in that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Restart your router and your broadband device, if they're separate. Any change?
    If possible, connect to your router with an Ethernet cable and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
    If you can connect to more than one network, are they all the same?
    Is networking always the same, or is the problem intermittent?
    Disconnect all other devices from the network. Any change?
    Boot in safe mode and test. Any difference?
    If possible, turn off Bluetooth and disconnect any USB 3 devices. Any difference?

  • I Fixed my iMac slow internet connection

    I will share with you how I fixed my iMac slow internet connection and frequently lost connection.  At first, I thought it was the Airport but then it wasn't the case.  I also had a Dell laptop in the same basement and it was running as fast as I expected.  Here are the steps:
    1/ Open Airport link on the top right window  > Open Network Preferences 
    2/
    Click + to create new Network Name and Security, I chose WPA personal - less security than the WPA2- that is why it runs faster.
    3/ Go mack to step 1 and select your new network name > Apply.
    May iMac is now connecting to internet as fast as I would expected.
    Good luck

    My iMac internet connection is not faster but as fast as it used to be.  I was using WPA2 and it was really good for a year and then I got disconnected or very slow.  So I created the new network bearing the same old name but use WPA and did not delete the old one, some how everything is back to normal.

  • WRT54GS - Slow internet when hooked up

    Hi all....I have a WRT54GS (seems to be a popular unit with some issues) and here is my thing:
    I hooked it up about two months ago and had no problems with it. Last week, I started having slow internet connections when the router was hooked up. I ran the cable modem straight to the PC and it was fine. I just hooked up the router again and it was horribly slow. I used testmy.net to test my speeds and my download time was about 143 times faster WITHOUT the router (with speedbooster, no less). The only thing I've done is to do a firmware upgrade to the most current version and the major problems began. I checked my setting and they all seem fine.
    Does anyone have any ideas? Unfortunately I did not save a copy of the configuration before upgrading. Thanks....

    Thanks for the help.
    Here is what I have so far:
    1. ISP is Time Warner Cable, and I am not sure of what I was setup for, but my internet connection icon in my system tray shows 100 Mbps.
    2.  The modem doesn't have a name brand on it that I can find, but the model is 60194E-A02. Google says it is an Ambit modem.
    3.  I used testmy.net for some tests last week and here is what I got (using my laptop):
          a.  Wired to modem directly  - download speed 773 kbps, connection 6.33 Mbps; upload speed 18kbps, connection 0.1 Mbps
          b. Using router - connection was so slow it times out.
    So I hooked it to my desktop PC, and ran the tests:
          a. Direct to modem:
    Download Connection is:: 7155 Kbps about 7.16 Mbps (tested with 12160 kB)
    Download Speed is:: 873 kB/s
    Upload Connection is:: 162 Kbps about 0.2 Mbps (tested with 386 kB)
    Upload Speed is:: 20 kB/s
         b.  Using router:
    Download Connection is:: 45 Kbps about 0.05 Mbps (tested with 97 kB)
    Download Speed is:: 5 kB/s
    Upload Connection is:: 17 Kbps about 0 Mbps (tested with 97 kB)
    Upload Speed is:: 2 kB/s
    Only other thing I can think of is that I put the new modem beside the router. Earlier today I put the modem back where it was, about three feet away. It actually seems to have helped. Is there a true phenomenon when the units are side-by-side?
    Thanks...Rick Ferguson

  • Slow Internet after Lion Install

    Lion installation was successful on a Mac Mini.  The only problem I have is a slower internet connection.
    I am getting about 2 to 3 Mbps for download when it should be about 10 -12 Mbps.  On another Mac stil running on Snow Leopard I'm getting an excellent download speed.  I cannot see how this could relate to the Lion install, but after dealing with the modem, router and checking that other Macs have good internet access, I turned to this forum.
    I am using a Cisco Valet plus router.  Lion was installed on a Mac Mini. 802.11g  The RSSI value is -70. Transmit rate is between 12 and 18.
    Any ideas?

    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network ▹ Advanced... ▹ DNS
    Under DNS Servers you should have one or more numerical addresses, such as “192.168.1.1” or “10.0.0.1”. What are those addresses?
