Slow wifi iPhone 5

With same AirPort Extreme, I have slow wifi, slower than an iPhone 3Gs, same software iOS 6.1.2. Any explanation ?

My experience is just the opposite - much faster WiFi when using "n" protocol. See this:

HT4528 Why is the WiFi and browser so slow on iPhone 5?

Why is the WiFi and browser so slow on iPhone 5? I've noticed they are not as quick as other smart phones and have seen this brought up in forums. Also, the WiFi was slow with my iPhone 4 anyone know what the deal is?
Thanks in advance

Sadly that spiffy reply was of no use. Browser is so slow and in looking at 3 different iPhones I have noticed there is a serious wait for any simple page to come up like MSN maybe its the iOS maybe Safari maybe should reset daily. Truly not impressed Apple can you here us now? Probably not... to busy restarting or resetting.
Truly hope it improves in a hurry.

It seems that people experience slow wifi on iphone with IOS 6 under slightly different circumstances.
Some have slow/choppy video streaming, some have problems with large dropbox files, some with app store and some with podcasts.
Which is your problem AdeelRasheed?
Me personally, I have download speed when on wifi.
But only when downloading podcasts...
Running 6.0.1 or 6.1 on iPhone 5, iPhone 4 and iPad 2.
On WIFI I can download a 45 mb app from the appstore in less than a minute. I can stream Youtube and Netflix with no problems. Internet browsing - no problems.
But downloading podcasts with Instacast 3, Downcast or the Apple Podcast app happens at a rate of 20-80 kb/s when on WIFI. As soon as I switch to 3g ( 4g/LTE is not yet available from my local provider) my download speed goes to between 300kb/s and 2 mb/s.
Anyone else have this problem?

IOS 8.0.2 has not fixed the slow wifi bug on iPhone 5S

I have updated my iPhone 5S to iOS 8.0.2. The slow wifi issue has not yet been fixed......Even whatsapp messages take forever to get delivered. Apple/...please fix this

Same here.. My iphone 5s wifi does not working properl. It feels like sometime connected and sometime not, i have reseted the network setting, turned location service for wifi off and on. But there's nothing changed.
Battery and everything are just fine
Hope apple fix this soon because smartphone without connection is just not smart.

IPad Air wifi sync a lot slower than iPhone 5s?

I just got my new iPhone 5s yesterday and found out that its wifi syncing to itunes is a lot faster than the iPad Air I bought a few days ago. Actually iPad Air wifi syncing is so much slower than iPhone 5s, almost half speed, just as slow as wifi syncing with my iPhone 4, is this normal?
I've tested another iPad Air of my friend, and found out that his new iPad is as slow as mine. Anyone know WHY? Is there anything / settings we're missing?
I have the latest AirPort Extreme as wifi router.

It's not much help but here is another thread with similar problems.

Slow WiFi on iPhone 6

I have a new iPhone 6, an iPad Air, iPad 4, iPhone 5S. They are all running iOS 8. The iPhone 5s and the iPad 4 have very speedy WiFi (90-100mbps). The iPhone 6 gets about 9mbps down. I read a bit about this and reset the network settings yesterday and it improved. After turning it on today, it's back to being slow. It doesn't drop the connection but being ten times slower than the older devices I have is puzzling.
After the update to iOS 8 on my iPad Air, it too had this problem but I reset network connections and it is still quite good. I wonder if this is a software or hardware problem and if anyone else is experiencing slow WiFi on the iPhone 6. The LTE on AT&T is quite good 60-70 down, 20+ up. Thanks.

How do you reset the network connections? Is it on the phone? My phone can't see the wifi at all - though it is 1 foot away. A hard reset lets it see it agaian - sometimes.

Any news on ios 8.0.3 update? Been waiting for it coz of my slow wifi connection after i updated my iphone 5s to ios 8.

I have heard rumours of an 8.1 update for developers. I just found another bug in 10.9.5. I am beginning to think that nobody should touch any update from Apple until they can get their very serious Q/A problems sorted out. This is getting bad.

FIX - slow wifi on iPhone 6 iOS 8.0.2

ive had a problem with my wifi since I bought the iphone 6. I get good speeds for a time, then it drops off and gets slow again. Tried resetting anything and everything. Then I did this: went to my browser, typed in "what's my ip", copied my ip address and pasted in my address bar. Logged into my Verizon acct. the user name should be admin and the password should be a mix of letters and numbers on your router, unless you've changed these user names and passwords. Once logged in I went to advanced wireless settings and changed my security settings from WEP to WPA2 and reset my password to a 16 digit key. Save the settings and log out. Then since I have a pc I changed the settings on my wifi to match the settings I just changed. Then I went into my iPhone's settings < general < reset < reset network settings. and that's it. Been doing speed tests and it been working fine. Hope this helps yall.

What was the result by going to the Apple Genius Bar ?
Our experience with iPhone 6:
Very slow wifi on iPhone 6 on several different wifi networks, home and work and others. Cannot be a WEP-WPA2 issue, must be an iPhone6 issue. Also have experienced 6 Mbps recently and 22 Mbps last month, seems to be variable and getting worse.
PS- iPhone 5 on very same home network gave 57 Mbps when iPhone 6 gave 6 Mbps !

AirPort Time Capsule (firmware v7.7.3) has slow wifi connection to new Surface Pro 3

I got a new Surface Pro 3 i7. I have all the updates for it. I ran into a problem that many others also ran into which was very slow WiFi performance. I utilized many troubleshooting methods and sources and I am currently inclined to believe this... the new Marvell AVASTAR Wireless-AC Network Controller drivers are not compatible with my Airport Time Capsule firmware version 7.7.3.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Is there another firmware version that works (older or newer)?
Details:
I tried all kinds of things, like changing the network drivers on the SP3 to many different versions. Many of the help forums recommended using the drivers dated 4/24/2014. This did seem to help, but not reliably. What I discovered is... if I connect using the SP3 WiFi to my network extension Airport Express on version 7.6.4, I reliably get 20-22 mbps (which is the best I can expect from my network and works great for my needs). But, when I connect to my primary network Airport Time Capsule, the best I can get is 1.5 mbps, but usually between .15 and .9 mbps. It's completely unusable in today's internet environment. At the same time, I used my iPhone and the Airport Utility to verify the connections. I used SpeedTest.net on my MacBook, iPad, iPhone and Win8.1 HP laptop to verify that every other device was getting the 20+mbps. And they did. Only the Surface Pro 3 couldn't perform when using WiFi through the Airport Time Capsule. The SP3 does achieve 20+ mbps like all my other devices, but only when connected to the Airport Express.
The articles I read said that the network drivers on the SP3 seem to require the routers to be updated to the latest versions. Both the Airport Time Capsule and the Airport Express seem to be updated. When I go into their settings using the Airport Utility, there are no updates available.
Of course this problem isn't replicated at the Microsoft store since they don't have apple routers. So, their response is to upgrade the routers. Extremely unhelpful when the Apple software is saying it is upgraded already. I can't believe this new Airport Time Capsule has to be retired because it isn't playing well with others, and I love the automatic backup it is providing for my MacBook. So, somehow, I need the Airport Time Capsule to work with the new WiFi card & drivers on my SP3, just like the SP3 is working properly with the Airport Express.

Thanks for your input!
1. No downgrade. Bummer, but understandable.
2. Completely agree!!! I did too and then I had to redo it because I couldn't install a driver. I had to start all over and reinstall Win 8 then Win 8.1 over it. It was a colossal waste of time and endless frustration. If I can just get it modestly working, I'll take it. It doesn't have to be perfect right now.
3. Great suggestion! And the Microsoft forums are also a buzz. One suggestion I tried (and it seems to be working) is to set a separate wireless network name for the 5ghz band. I haven't thoroughly tested it yet, but I'm hopeful. I t seems to have worked for some, but not others. The next thing I'll try is fixing the channel, but strangely, I didn't see that option in the AirPort Utility app on my iPhone. Is it only available through Mac/PC laptop/desktop software?
4. Yup. Sigh. I actually have an old linksys. I retired it when I went 100% apple. I was hoping that things would work smoother. And they did! Until this SP3 came into my life. Arg.
And and a few more details...
the AirPort Time Capsule is 802.11ac
the AirPort Express is 802.11n (2nd gen)
I'm wondering if it is the AC connection that is the issue. Maybe since the Express always connects with n, it is OK....
Nope. Just tested the SP3 again and it is maintaining it's connection to the AirPort Time Capsule utiling the 802.11a/n/ac mode and connecting to the 5Ghz special network name. So far so good... Fingers crossed...

Slow wifi after update to ios 8.0.2

I have iphone 5s Recently I have upgraded to ios 8 there comes a problem with wifi it becomes uncertain and slow after two days i have upgraded to 8.0.2 but that also not solve my problem my 3rd party keyboard automatically changes to default keyboard whenever i try to insert password now i want to degrade to ios 7 but from discussion here i came to know that i cant do this plz tell me can service centre revert my ios from 8.0.2 to ios 7 . My phone is still in warranty

I Have same issue with wifi on iPad air with 8.0.2 being qa engineer myself I am amazed how company like apple can release something with fundamental issues with wifi and cellular. I guess basic tests are missing and Apple needs to employ good people in test and do not get into this kind of disgrace next time. There is no fix? I have issues with apps upgrade too due to slow wifi, come on apple don't be Samsung or Chinese companies!!!!

Anyone else having slow wifi dl speeds from new ipad?

My download speeds on my iphone 4 on wifi are way faster than on my new ipad. Same wifi network, both devices are next to each other. On the iphone 4 download test i get around 1.15Mbps. On my new ipad, .56Mps. Something doesnt seem right and wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this slow wifi issue?

for me the fix was to take my network off OpenDNS servers... and back to my ISP's DNS.... and instant fix...
disappointing, as i liked the service from them...
hope this helps finovotny....

5s on 8.0.2 Slow WiFi Connection - worth a try

I've been suffering from slow WiFi connection since I updated from iOS 7 to 8.0.2 and it got worse after updating a game (CoC). Its taking ages to load the game, download any app from app store, or any internet related task. Anyway, my WiFi issue is fixed and just want to share this workaround to help other people who is suffering and very much frustrated out there, like I was.
Go to SETTING - GENERAL - RESET - RESET NETWORK SETTINGS.
WARNING!!!
Doing the above will reset all your network settings including network passwords

I have all the same problems. I have a 5S. What I have found that if I reset network settings or power off/on - wifi will work for 5-10 mins, then go back to a crawl. BTW I am on IOS 8.1. Same issues
I tried:
-resetting network settings
-hard reset (home and lock button)
-Reset everything
-Restore Iphone (IOS 8.01/8.02/8.1)
-Restored iphone from new
-Turned off wifi networking
-Went to Genius bar and they gave me a new phone, it worked for a few days, then back to this.
It is a software issue. Because every other device works just fine on wifi (iphone 4, ipad, laptop, desktop)
I will be calling apple support again later to see what they will say. It is funny how Apple won't admit to known issues until a fix comes out.

WRT160N really slow wifi compare to wired

Hey guys thanks for helping me on this one.
The answer could be as simple as: get a new router. but lets give it a try. I read many many post on how to optimize the speed of the router but none worked so far.
I got a great wired Internet connexion hitting between 45 to 60 Mbps
http://www.speedtest.net/result/2029093668.png
the wifi is crazy slow on Iphone, Macbook pro and iPad staying between 3 to 8 Mbps....
I tried to change all of the specs, did the firmware update...
is there a perfect configuration with the new firmware ?
Let me know because right now I am clueless and i cant find anything else on the web
Cheers
Jeff

Extremely slow wifi

I have had the iPhone 4 for a day now and the only fault i have picked up on is that of the wifi speed. I can connect to the wifi and within 2 minutes of connecting the safari speed is very quick, however after not long the wifi is incredibly slow and can take up to 10 seconds to load google. I have tried resetting it but it just does the same again any ideas?

I've been looking for feedback on this since the new software was released. All our mobile devices that were upgraded to iOS4, an ipod touch, an iphone 3GS, and now my iphone 4 which comes with that software, all have much slower wifi download speeds than before the upgrade. I'm kind of anal about running speed tests on different networks to see what their speeds are so I'm familiar with what I usually get on these networks. My sole non iOS4 device, my ipad, does not have this nor any other wifi issue. In fact running speed tests on the speedtest.net app with my ipad side by side with the other devices my results are consistently 30-50% slower on those than the ipad on all networks.
I don't have weak signals or connection issues on those devices but I believe there is definitely something different about the way wifi is handled on this software.
