Slow Wifi Internet Connection on Windows 7

I recently got a brand new iMac 27 inch (late 2013) I need to have Windows installed because of some compatibility problems with some programs I use for my work. I follow all the instruction on how to install Windows using bootcamp and I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate Edition. Everything is working fine but my Internet connection when I am using the Windows partition is ridiculously slow, on the contrary when I am using the MacOSx the Internet connection is fine. Can anyone help me to solve it?

Is there anyone that can help me?

I have an iPad mini - trying to set up a wifi internet connection on Windows 7 laptop.

Have a new iPad and need to still set it up. Problem is that it needs to connect to a wifi internet connection which I have set up on my Win7 laptop. The iPad mini sees the network but can't connect to it......... What am I doint wrong? I have set the network up via the adhoc network set up and have done everything as per the turorials I have seen, but it still won't to connect. Is this possible and if so, how do I do it? I have tried the ad-hoc network way and the iPad recognises it but can't connect to it. THANKS A MIL

Windows 7 Home Basic does not support ad hoc or hosted network functionality (what Connectify and Virtual Router use). At a minimum you would need to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. Note the Applies to these editions of Windows 7 statement at the right in this article.

Again using a broadband wireless (WiFi) router is the best way to go presuming its in your budget.

Sony Vaio not recognising Wifi/Internet connections since System Refresh ... Help!

I'm using Windows 8.1 on a Sony Vaio SVE1512C6EW. It was running really slow, so I did a System Refresh and deleted a few programmes. Now it is not recognising Wifi/Internet connections and Audio doesn't work. I don't know if I deleted the driver or it was the refresh. Please help!

Hi nickisheps,
Thank you for visiting Sony Community!
Here in Sony Support USA for Vaio, we do not recommend System Refresh right away since your issue was slow performance. You could uninstall programs and check for viruses/malicious programs first, running Vaio or Windows update, etc. You are right about drivers. There is a possibility that some drivers and software are not properly installed or was deleted after the refresh. You may try this first: Go to Device manger -> Network adapter -> select the name of the adapter -> right click and select Uninstall (DO NOT DELETE). Restart the laptop. The default driver will be reinstalled. You may do the same process in Audio, just select Sound, video and game controllers. Check again if you the will connect to the internet.
If none of these work then you need to visit Sony's website (based on your location or from where you purchased the unit) and download the needed drivers.
Since your Vaio SVE1512C6EW is not a U.S. model and we have limited information about your unit and we do not have the drivers and software that support your computer. We kindly recommend visiting our Sony Global Web site for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.
Hope these help.
Best regards,
Vincent

Can the wireless card in my mac wear out and slow down internet connection??

can the wireless card in my mac wear out and slow down internet connection??

Yes the WiFi card can wear out but not what you would really call wearing out like a pair of pants do. It can start to fail causing the connection between your computer and your Wifi router to slow down, IE transmit and receive less data in a given time period. And then it will fail completely.
But as to your internet connection being affected by a failing WiFi card no that can't happen.
If you turn the WiFi off and connect the computer to your router with an Ethernet cable does your internet browsing and downloading speed increase? If it does then there may be something wrong with the WiFi card in your computer or the WiFi section of your router. Hard to say which.
If after connecting the computer to your router with an Ethernet cable and your speeds do not increase then it is a problem with the router or on your ISPs end.

WiFi Internet connectivity problems after upgrade to 10.8.4

After upgrading to MacOS 10.8.4 I am facing regular interruptions to my WiFi internet connectivity. Periodically the internet connectivity is lost and the only way to fix the problem is to turn WiFi off and on again. This happens frequently when I am downloading files at using big bandwidth (more than 1.5-2 MB/s). If I use assist me on the Network preferences tab, it displays an ISP error when the connectivity is down, however I am certain that I do nota have any kind of ISP or router issue since at the same time I have WiFi internet connectivity from my iPad mini, iPhone 4S and Samsung Galaxy S3. Therefore it should be a 10.8.4 issue

3rd gen atv drop wifi Internet connection?

Why does my new 3rd gen atv drop wifi Internet connection? 2nd gen in bedroom works fine

Hi Gvegastiger,
The problem might be just with your iMac, so I will suggest you to check your firewall on your iMac, and if it is on make sure you are allowing incoming traffic in the area you need to work with...
Second I would check the Proxy settings on your iMac as well under Network profile. Also for troubleshooting purposes leave the IP address DHCP if you have it set static. And Under Network/Ethernet make sure you have it set "Automatically"
Third make sure you use ether Wireless or just Wired connection, not both. I don't know your network layout but if you have to separate networks that will be a problem when you have both of them enabled on separate networks.
Let me know if this helps,
Goran

Time Capsule drops wifi/internet connection and flashes amber

Time Capsule drops wifi/internet connection and flashes amber. I've tried unplugging it and my modem but it continues to do this every so often. The time capsule is out in the open, so I don't think it's a heat issue. It's running firmware 7.7.3. Anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions on how to fix it? It's driving me crazy!

Bought the time capsule in Oct 2013. I have a Sagemcom 2864 modem from Bell but used through Teksavvy. The 5 ghz has been flaky until I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.1 I think. I had a closer look at it and it appears that the wifi is ok. I was thrown off by the wifi symbol being all animated in the menu bar. I was able to ping the time capsule via wifi. All the status lights on the modem looked ok. Next time it happens, I'll see if I can get some more details. Do you know if there's anyway to get some logs from the airport utility?

Boot Camp Windows 8.1 WiFi Internet Connectivity

I have a MacBook Pro (Mid 2012) running Yosemite, and I have installed Windows 8.1 via Boot Camp.
Most everything on my Windows OS works well, but I'm hitting an odd problem with the Internet connectivity. Sometimes, I can only get to certain sites in Internet Explorer, and NOT through Firefox or Chrome. And now, after initially installing a few days ago, I can no longer connect to the Internet via my Evernote, Dropbox, or Git apps.
Has anyone else out there experienced something similar? It could be that this is just a Windows issue and I need to post a similar query elsewhere, but I thought I would start here. I don't see any errors anywhere in my Device Manager, and I even manually added Evernote to list of apps that is supposed to be able to access the Internet via a private connection, but still no joy.

1. Your MBA does not support EFI/Free Space method.
2. You need to ensure that your USB is a USB2 device.
3. The MBR should be checked, because there are known cases where BCA fails to create the MBR.

WIFI, Internet Connections

Okay i fill like such a fool, but i really need sum help. I am currentlt trying to set up my wifi from home, but could you tell me everything i need to have and how to set it up.. I am currently on dsl internet connection, but i dont have a wireless router, is it still possible to setup a wifi connection from home? If so could you guys please give me some help and educate me alot on this!!! Thanks Anyone help please!!!!

Yes it is possible but you need to purchase a wireless router first.
The wireless router connects to your DSL modem and then you set up your wireless or Wi-Fi network. You want to use encryption along with password protecting your wireless network and the wireless router will have several options. There is what is called WEP encryption and WPA encryption with WPA being much more secure than WPA. The wireless router you purchase should have both options along with instructions for setting up your wireless network.
I use an Apple wireless router which is very easy to set up and is very small and is compatible with Macs and Windows PCs.

Periodically lose virtual machine (Parallels) internet connection on windows 7

Running OS X Mavericks 10.9.5
Parallels 9.0.24172 running Windows 7 enterprise
Internet connection would periodically time out, and force a reboot of the virtual machine to regain connection.
Using a wired connection.

Changing the network configuration settings for the virtual machine from "Shared connection" to "Ethernet" (for my specific connection) solved this problem. It seems there is an issue with the shared connection feature for Parallels and OS X.
At the Parallels virtual machine selection:
1. Right click on the virtual machine
2. Select Configure
3. Choose the Hardware tab
4. Select Network or Network '#'
5. Change the network Type
6. Choose your preferred type
     Ex. If you are using a WiFi connection select WiFi.
     (You may have to re-enter the SSID and Password to your router/network for the virtual machine).
     In this selection window : Using "Shared connection" is what caused the connectivity problems for my computer.

New iMac running lion 10.7.2...partitioned drive for windows xp pro ...successfully installed...up and running(duel boot) but no internet connection on windows side...need drivers?.....please help

new imac running lion 10.7.2 partitioned HD for duel boot and successfully installed windows xp pro (sp2)....have internet through eithernet cable on the mac side but no internet connection on the windows side....need drivers???? please help

I too am running xp spiii on my mac with lion. However I installed xp while running snow leopard then upgraded to lion and both are running fine. If you have the support disc that came with the imac all the relevant drivers are on there. The only other thing i would suggest is that you get spiii and upgrade to that.
Hope that helps

No internet connection on windows xp

i downloaded windows xp sp2 on my mac using bootcamp and it worked fine except i cant get internet while using windows, any suggestions?

I also have problems with Windows Vista Enterprise connecting to the internet. I get wireless connectivity, but the ethernet plug-in does not work. If I reinstall the bootcamp 3.0 drivers then it works until I reboot or turn the computer off. The next time I start Windows, no internet/ network connections and I have to re-install the drivers again. I'm not installing bootcamp drivers every time I have to boot the system. This is NOT a Windows problem - this is Apple.

Airport Extreme slowing down internet connection to a crawl

Hi,
Can anyone explain this one?
Just this afternoon my internet connection slowed to a crawl. Pages would stall loading and I couldn't even collect emails. There was a connection there. A Google search might take a minute or so but anything else would barely flinch.
So I did a few restarts and complete power downs of all my peripherals, computers and network devices but no joy. I called my broadband provider who did a remote test of my cable modem and confirmed it was responding well.
So I removed the Airport Extreme from the network and connected directly to the modem. All was fine, in fact that is how I am working now. But when connecting the Airport Extreme back in I have this extremely slow connection. I have looked at both the Network preferences and Airport Setup Utility. Both claim the connection is good.
I also have an old G4 in another room. It was switched off during all the goings on this afternoon but I powered it up to see if the same problem persisted. Sure enough it does, as it is also connected via the AE. However, the local connection between computers is just fine.
So how do I resolve this? Why would the AE cause such an internet slowdown?
Thanks,
Colin

I've had similar symptoms on my network. Here are network details:
Comcast is the ISP
I have an Extreme and an Express set up as a single wireless network.
Extreme is plugged in to the cable modem. Express is an extension of the Extreme.
Devices that are regularly "on network": Mac Mini (G4), MacBook, Mac Pro, 2 TiVO Series 2.
All Macs are running 10.4.10.
Symptom: Over the course of 3-6 weeks, wireless access slows to a crawl for the Intel-based MacBook and MacPro, but not the PowerPC Mini. All web sites, email traffic, etc., for the Intel Macs becomes painful: CNN's home page loads in minutes, not seconds, for example. Unplugging and replugging the Express doesn't do anything. Powering off and on the Extreme resolves the issue. For now. There are no pending firmware updates for the Express or Extreme that I'm aware of.
