Slow internet (wireless)

I have a MacBook Pro laptop running Mac OSX on one partition and Windows XP on the 2nd partition.
I am connected to the internet through a wireless DLINK router.
Very strangely, the internet runs fine (ie. quickly) when the laptop is booted to Windows XP, however it is PAINFULLY slow in Mac OSX! It seems to stall for 10 sec. before it will connect to any page on the internet. It goes especially slow when connecting to a page that includes advertisements.
Any ideas?
If I go back to one operating system on the laptop (Mac OSX) the internet runs fine.
Strange!

I think Gnarly has nailed it, and if so... deserves a Star of some kind... I only point this out, as most everybody since Christmas thinks Santa Claus works here... and no recognition is needed!

Slow Internet/ Wireless Problems

I have had a black macbook for two months now, and have been having wireless problems. I put it next to my powerbook aluminum and the macbook shows a flashing wireless network (going in and out really quickly). Sometimes I also see the network but can't go to any websites, must either sleep it or renew DHCP. The internet has also been much slower than the aluminum. Any suggestions? SImilar problems?

hey there,
i'm going to copy and paste here as i've tried to resolve this a few different times with no joy!
when websurfing,it can take up a minute and a half for a page to open...i use wirless in my house so that could be the issue..when i brought it into uni it was pretty much instantaneous,obviously there are alot of hot spots there,so that made sense...but i tried it in my brothers house(wireless)i put it right beside his 3 year old laptop(siemens fujitsu)both computers about 15 metres away from the router...my brothers worked at top speed...my brand new MB went at a snails pace:(....is this normal???i have tried it with safari and mozilla same result,i'm careful to empty cache pretty much after every use...i've tried it whilst making sure nothing else was running and still its super slow!!is ther anything i can do/buy/download that may help me increase my speed..i do alot of online research so fast internet is really important for me...
pleasse help!

T61p Very Slow Internet, Wireless Intel Card, Please Help!

I have a brand new t61p. it has 4 gb ram 2.5ghz processor and i have windows xp pro which i downgraded from vista too. I have the intel wifi link 4965 agn. My router is a linksys 2.4ghz 802.11b. I know that this is outdated but, i have 3 other computers. 2 Pc's one wireless and the other hardwire. i also have one other old dell laptop with a wireless card that only supports 802.11b. I go to speakeasy.net and i have ran the speed test on all 4 computers. the average for the 3 computers(not the t61p) is 2800kpbs. i should supposbly have 3000kbps according to verizion but that doesnt matter. Anyways when i run the lenovo on the speakeasy website the highest download rate i got was 1000kbps. genrelly its around 700kbps. I have made sure all computers have Excellent signal 100%. I noticed the laptop was slow using the internet on downloads and even web browsing and its a fairly big difference from the others. I feel like something is restricting my t61p. Please please please help me! if you need anymore info i will get it.

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.

Slow internet connection over ethernet, fast over wireless?!

Using an Airport Extreme (802.11n) I am connected to the internet through an X-Modem. My Macbook connects to the internet wirelessly and can download a large web page in 13 seconds, the same page takes 85 seconds when downloaded by my G4 iMac using an ethernet connection directly to the Airport (even if the MacBook is switched off).
I have eliminated the iMac as the culprit by plugging the ethernet cable directly into the modem as a test and achieving a decent connection speed.
Any bright ideas about how to solve this little connundrum?

Glyn
Checked my Network settings as suggested. The DHCP was fine but somehow I had a specified server in the 'DNS servers' box. Cleared this and the iMac is now connecting perfectly.
Thanks to you and Duane for your hepl.

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

run diagnostics on wifi - normal
It's not clear if that was the result of using Apple's Wireless Diagnostics. It may supply some additional helpful information.
To use it, hold an option key while you click your Mac's Wi-Fi icon, and choose Open Wireless Diagnostics...
The following authentication dialog will appear:
Authenticate with your Admin password, then click the Continue button in the following:
The network analysis and diagnostic tests will take several minutes to complete:
When it completes, if your wireless network is functioning properly the following will result:
If something is amiss, supposedly the results will be different and you will be presented with helpful information.
Assuming your connection is "working as expected" select Continue to summary and click Continue:
Ignore the pre-populated text field, which is provided as a place for you to type in additional information should Apple ask for it in the course of obtaining technical assistance from them. Apple has no way of knowing where your router is located in your home, and certainly doesn't know if you even have an upstairs bedroom closet.
Click Continue.
The next step will also take a few minutes:
When it finishes, you will be presented with a summary that may or may not be useful to you. Let me know if it is.
The WirelessDiagnostics-xxx.tar.gz file deposited on your Desktop can be dragged to the Trash, or you may wish to expand it and examine its contents. It's up to you.

Rainbow spinning cursor and slow internet recently

I am not very tech savvy but I will try and describe what is going on. Recently (last week or so) my computer has been extremely slow and the rainbow spinning cursor seems to appear all the time. I notice it mainly when I am using the internet, mainly because I am mostly on the internet when I use my computer. I believe it is a problem with my computer because my husband has a 2011 MacBook Pro and he does not have any problems with his computer. My computer is a 2010 MacBook Pro, and I ran an Etre Check to see if it helps. I typically use Google Chrome as my browser (we both do) and my operating system is OS X.

Very slow internet after installing 10.5.3

Hello all, this is the very first time I have encountered any problems with my Macbook and I am hoping I can get some help here.
About a month ago I came home from college and hooked my Macbook up to the wireless router at home, everything was running fine. We have fiber optic internet so usually my speeds are blazing fast. Recently however I installed the 10.5.3 update and now my internet speeds are very dismal. I am having trouble getting my Macbook to connect to the router at all, much less load any web pages.
I have taken an ethernet cable and plugged my Macbook directly in to the router to see if things load any faster, and unfortunately things are still just as slow over a wired connection. After typing in a URL you will sit there at a blank web page for about 45 seconds to a minute before it even starts loading the page, and when the page does load it takes forever to pull up and images take even longer to display. If it helps at all our router is a dlink DI-524 wireless router.
I was browsing through these forums yesterday to see if I could find a solution to my issue. so far I have tried the following:
-set router to broadcast in G mode only (instead of mixed mode)
-removed encryption from router
-tried various encryption settings (64 bit WEP, 128 bit WEP, WPA, etc)
-updated the firmware of my router
-created test account on my macbook, opened internet browser on it, everything still runs slow
-deleted cache for safari/mozilla as well as the .plist files, still slow internet
when i called apple the agent suggested putting in my os X CD and do an archive and install, i did and once i was set back to os X 10.5 i was unable to connect to wifi at all, and wired connection over ethernet seemed just as slow as before. when i check for apple updates the 10.5.3 update was my only option, i couldnt choose 10.5.2 so installing that would put me back where i was before.
in the end i set my computer up last night to do a restore from my time machine backup. my machine has been restored to the backup i created just before i tried the archive and install, so im back to running OS X 10.5.3 now.
I'm sorry this post got so long, I just wanted to make sure that I included details of what I've done so far. Again I would like to stress that I am having this problem on my macbook even with my computer hooked directly to the router with my ethernet cable. (using that same cable and hooking up any one of my windows computers in the house results in fast and effortless web browsing so i know the cable is good)

It's not a matter of Mac OS X being "picky" but rather various ISPs not keeping up with changes in the DNS standard.
In the most recent case, 10.5.3 had to revert to a previous method of performing some DNS lookups because various ISPs hadn't bothered to update their servers to handle what has been the recommended way of handling lookups for the past eight years.
OpenDNS also has done a lot of work to make sure their DNS servers work as fast as possible; ISPs have absolutely no incentive whatsoever to provide fast DNS services.

Slow internet connection via AirPort on MacBook running 10.5.7

The internet connection via AirPort on my MacBook is frustratingly slow, and I have no idea why.
I have an AirPort Extreme connected to a Virgin Media cable modem, a new iMac and a two year-old MacBook, both running 10.5.7. No problems at all with the wireless connection on the iMac - I get the full near-10Mbps download speed I'm paying for, despite the fact it's at the other end of the house. Not so on the MacBook, where I get barely 2Mb, even if I'm sat next to the router.
I've had other AirPort problems since the 10.5.6 update - notably one common to a lot of people on here, it seems, of the AirPort dropping the wireless connection every 2 mins. This was only 'fixed' by the fairly drastic workaround of essentially abandoning my user account and connecting via a different one.
For the slow internet problem, I've tried resetting the PRAM, turning off my cordless landline phone, changing the wireless channel - to no avail. I can't test the wired connection as my MacBook doesn't recognise my Ethernet port, it would seem, and hasn't for a long time.
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

I assume that you meant NVRAM as PRAM is not used with Intel-based Macs. Regardless, network settings are not stored here and resetting it won't really help. The fact that your MacBook is not recognizing the built-in Ethernet port is telling me that may have an issue with the system board ... that may be showing up as poor performance with the AirPort as well. I suggest that you take your MacBook in to your local Apple Store to have them take a look.

Mac mini slow internet repeat

hi folks,
back again with slow internet on my INtel Mini with Leopard installed. Things ALL worked fine after the upgrade but the last couple of days the internet seemed slow (slow page loading). I posted about this previously and found that Yasu and/or OnyX cleared up some digital garbage and restored performance. However, this time, no such luck. Speed tests show the mini to be slower (33% or less) that a similarly equipped iBook G4.
Intel Mac Mini, Leopard 10.5.1, Firefox, Yasu, OnyX. It's not a DNS issue, pages load similarly with IP addresses or words.
Any ideas? TIA

Hiya,
Sorry for leaving out some info, I had this problem before and it was solved by Yasu/Onxy. Recap: Mac mini and IbookG4, very much identical set up. Wirelessly, in same location, iBook is >3Mbps in a speed test when Mini is 1.0 (Ibook closer to airport, over 4). Wired, both are 7-8Mbps. Changed DNS things, no improvement. cleaned caches of Firefox, no improvement. Downloaded Yasu and OnyX, ran through both and bingo, the speed on the mini went to over 3. Now: Several weeks ago, upgraded to leopard. No problems on either computer, but at some point, internet on the mini was again slow. (Ibook getting 3-4, mini getting around 1) Cleaned with yasu and onyx, this time no help. I have been using speedtest.surewest.net but just tried myspeed.visualware.com.
download 292K 1.4M (2 tests)
upload 1.7M 2.4
quality of service 83% 30%
download test type socket
upload test type socket
max downlaod pause 594 ms 499
ave download pause 43ms 9
min rt to server 29ms 23
ave rt to server 66ms 26
I have Comcast cable with internet and a new Vudu box (new internet movie download thing--very nice actually). vudu is a wired connection to the airport. I disconnected the Vudu, that this difference between test one and 2, but I don't think it's the true basis for our slow download numbers. test 3, with Vudu reconnected, 1.4Mbps download, 2.3 upload.
any tips greatly tried and reported back to this thread.

Ibook g4 really slow on wireless - is it my 10.3.9???

internet is fine when i am cabled and really slow when wireless. someone suggested upgrading to 10.4 - but i tried loading 10.4.11 and i got an error msg that it cant run on my machine.
anyone got a solution i am lost ! thx

Are you sure you have an extreme card. Extreme is 802.11n, which is faster than 802.11g. I'm not sure your OS supports 802.11n. Not sure how you check. Did you add the internal wireless card or did it come with your Mac?
Tiger will run on you Mac, but I don't think it will change your speed.
Tiger install DVDs are in short supply. Tiger is no longer available at the Apple Store but is still available for $129 by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753). For other sources, do a Google search for MA453Z/A and M9639Z/A . Also look on eBay. Be sure & buy a retail version (black with silver X) and not a model specific version (gray).
Also check this web store http://www.lacomputercompany.com/cgi-bin/rpcart/index.cgi?command=dispitem&type= sku&sku=19521
Possible Alternative - OS X Tiger 10.4 Upgrade DVD $74.95

Please help with this slow internet

Can someone please help me with this slow internet. I have been looking on this forum for a while and have tried about everything I can do. I bought a new macbook, a new airport extreme base station, and have high speed internet. I can connect with a wire and it works great but wirelessly is slower than dial up. I am also not very good with computers so I am not sure how to do a lot of the things that many people say to do. I have comcast internet. If you need anymore information I will do my best to give it. Please help me fix this, remember it is the holiday season be a giver.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

I believe there are several reasons for Leopard's networking issues.
I've heard it's worth a try to *turn off IPv6 in the OS network settings and your router* (if such an option exists in your router). IPv6 is the new addressing protocol which many consider to be overkill, seeing as it allows for approximately as many addresses as there are square centimeters of surface area on planet Earth (according to Wikipedia). It's also known to cause issues with Vista, which leads me to believe that the protocol is fundamentally flawed in some way.
Just a note, turning off IPv6 in the OS is easy, simply go to *System Preferences* > Network > select the *network type* you're using (i.e. Wi-fi, ethernet, FireWire). Then click the Advanced... button, go to the TCP/IP tab, and say *Configure IPv6: Off*.
Upgrading your router's firmware is worth a try, although such updates should only be performed through the ethernet connection, not over Wi-Fi (otherwise you could risk turning your router into a giant paperweight). You should also take note of your router settings prior to the firmware upgrade, because they will probably be reset with the upgrade.
Check your *Activity Monitor* in Applications under Utilities. Right-click (or control-click) on the *Activity Monitor* icon and tell the *Dock Icon* to *Show CPU Usage*. Keep an eye on the CPU usage in the dock and if it goes higher than expected, click on the icon and tell the window to *Show Active Processes*, and/or organize the processes by order of CPU usage.
Leopard doesn't have "nice" processes anymore and I find that some processes that like to use the network prevent other processes from using the network simultaneously. I think a lot of the network issues people are having are due to *Quick Look*, mdworker, and mds. These processes seem to like to go out on the network and make notes about every server available, however there doesn't seem to be any way to make these processes "nice" or kill them permanently without losing valuable system functions. It's interesting, at least, to see the probable cause of some of these networking problems, even if we can't fix them.
By now, I'm sure I sound like I'm babbling, but I hope at least some of this helps somebody out there.

Very Slow Internet Lion (This one is for the "Apple Network Team")

hello,
i'm joão from Portugal, Europe.
a couple of weekends ago i've updated three macs to Lion.
2009 MacMini, 2007 White Macbook, 2010 iMac 21".
problems? only with the iMac.
no connection drops but slow slow slow very slow internet. wired, speedtest marked 15Mbps download. wireless? 1Mbps, 0,3Mbps, 3Mbps, very unstable.
with Snow Leopard everything was ok.
tried every solution from every site and finally got it working flawlessly.
tried clean install instead of update.
tried new dns servers.
tried disabling ipv6.
tried remove wifi interface then add it again.
tried service order.
tried PRAM, NVRAM, SMC, you name it, reset.
tried removing preferences folder.
tried different browsers -> same symptoms.
tried disable/enable airport.
tried 10.7.1, 10.7.2, combo, delta.
tried router's firmware update.
tried putting the computer closer to the router.
tried resetting the router, factory defaults.
tried changing router's channel.
tried disabling router's firewall.
tried watch router's event log, nothing suspicious.
tried disabling router's wep password.
tried pinging a site for a couple of minutes, 2% packet loss.
tried hundreds of pages and forums...
during this attempts, macmini and macbook showed very good wireless internet speed.
iMac? slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, like seeing gmail's loading screen for more than one minute...
again and again speedtest 1Mbps, 0,3Mbps, 1Mbps, 1Mbps, 0,3Mbps, 3Mbps.
discovered the pingtest utility in the same site and iMac's ping was grade C, grade F, grade D, with big values...mac mini and macbook were alwas grade B, with low pings (imagine 25ms on them vs. 138ms on the iMac).
i was fed up with the situation, every week tried and failed. iMac's owner was wanting to get his Lion money back and stick to Snow Leopard again. imagine recent Windows switchers thinking they went back to the same situations....
but then i found this website. and then realised macbook and macmini's wi-fi were both powered by a broadcom chipset. iMac's was powered by an Atheros chipset! did what the guy says on that site (replaced Lion's Atheros kernel driver by the one on Slow Leopard), and now everything is perfect, like on Snow Leopard. very good speed.
what a relief. thank you sir.
hope it can help you.
hope it reachs apple's network developers...this is not good, you can't fail on something so simple and essential as decent wifi quality...

humm...
i've clean installed one macbook (late 2008?) and one mac mini (early 2009) both with broadcom adapters and both of them were ok, after the install.
so, speedtest and pingtest are websites (speedtest.net and pingtest.net), both test your internet connection with the help of a 'local' server. it's useful, for instance, if you want see if two different computers connected to the same router have the same connection quality.
so if you can connect to some routers nicely and you have problems with your router, to me, it seems like you have some problems with the connection between your computer and the router.
an old router might bring you problems (there are some advices on the internet to change router's channel and so...), i would recommend to see if motorola has some sort of firmware update to your router. if you don't have complex router configurations, you might try to reset to factory defaults (search the manual). that, once, fixed a problem with a smc router and two macbooks (one, older, could connect easily, the other wouldn't connect to the router).
if that atheros driver trick, resolved your issue, that's strange
make sure broadcom isn't your ethernet adapter and not your wireless adapter
did you resetted your pram and smc? do you have Mac OS 10.7.2?
i hope you can figure that out.

MacBook has a very slow internet connection.

I got a macbook pro two days back. It worked fine with my Beetel 450TC1 router for a night. I was able to download the OS update in half an hour. Sice then, the connection has been painfully slow- around 34 kbps. Other computers in my home network work fine. They were able to achieve a download speed of upto 2 mbps. However, when I connect my macbook to the network- either by ethernet or by wifi, they too start experiencing similar problems. I initially figured the problem must be with my Internet Service Provider, Airtel, and approached them. They gave up after changing the router a couple of times. I then tried the local istore. But the internet- wireless, worked perfectly well there. Probably because they have an airport extreme- I don't know.
Is it probably because of the OS update, which incidentally also included an airport update? I'm trying to figure this out. What do you guys suggest I try next?

hi.
have you tried resetting the router? Usually there's a reset button at the back of the router.
hope this helps.
