Slow wifi rate for AppleTV 2?

I have an AppleTV 2 connected via wifi to my Airport Extreme using a 2.4 Ghz 802.11n network. Using Airport Utility, I can see that the AppleTV connects at a rate of only 39. If I put an Airport Express right next to it, Airport Utility reports the AEXP is connected at a rate of 130.
Why is the AppleTV connecting so slowly? Is that normal?
Incidentally, I am using the 2.4 Ghz network because the faster 5 Ghz network does not provide the range I need in my home.

I only asked about the screen saver as I thought a lot of photos could potential eat up your buffer causing problems. I guess that's not the case here.
As for my download speed, I am at work now and keep forgetting to check when I am home. I am pretty sure, however, that my cable internet connection provides 16Mbps service. For the sake of comparison, I just ran Speed Test on my iPhone using a 3G connection and got a download speed of 2.2Mbps. That is only marginally slower than your connection, and I would not expect my iPhone to be able to download HD movies.
Incidentally, I do remember trying to watch a movie through iTunes with my Powerbook connected directly to my TV a few years back. I was using a 1.5Mbps DSL connection at the time, and it took well over an hour, maybe two, before I was able to start the movie. In fact, I eventually gave up and watched the movie the next night. Your connection is slightly faster than I had then, but you are also trying to download HD. As such, your wait time may be about right given the speed of your internet connection.

How do I find wifi password for AppleTv

How do I find wi-fi password for AppleTv if I can't remember it?

This has nothing to do with Apple TV. If you can't remember your wifi password contact your ISP

Slow migration rates for shared-nothing live migration over teaming NICs

I'm trying to increase the migration/data transfer rates for shared-nothing live migrations (i.e., especially the storage migration part of the live migration) between two Hyper-V hosts. Both of these hosts have a dedicated teaming interface (switch-independent,
dynamic) with two 1GBit/s NICs which is used for only for management and transfers. Both of the NICs for both hosts have RSS enabled (and configured), and the teaming interface also shows RSS enabled, as does the corresponding output from Get-SmbMultichannelConnection).
I'm currently unable to see data transfers of the physical volume of more than around 600-700 MBit/s, even though the team is able to saturate both interfaces with data rates going close to the 2GBit/s boundary when transferring simple files over SMB. The
storage migration seems to use multichannel SMB, as I am able to see several connections all transferring data on the remote end.
As I'm not seeing any form of resource saturation (neither the NIC/team is full, nor is a CPU, nor is the storage adapter on either end), I'm slightly stumped that live migration seems to have a built-in limit to 700 MBit/s, even over a (pretty much) dedicated
interface which can handle more traffic when transferring simple files. Is this a known limitation wrt. teaming and shared-nothing live migrations?
Thanks for any insights and for any hints where to look further!

Compression is not configured on the live migrations (but rather it's set to SMB), but as far as I understand, for the storage migration part of the shared-nothing live migration this is not relevant anyway.
Yes, all NICs and drivers are at their latest version, and RSS is configured (as also stated by the corresponding output from Get-SmbMultichannelConnection, which recognizes RSS on both ends of the connection), and for all NICs bound to the team, Jumbo Frames
(9k) have been enabled and the team is also identified with 9k support (as shown by Get-NetIPInterface).
As the interface is dedicated to migrations and management only (i.e., the corresponding Team is not bound to a Hyper-V Switch, but rather is just a "normal" Team with IP configuration), Hyper-V port does not make a difference here, as there are
no VMs to bind to interfaces on the outbound NIC but just traffic from the Hyper-V base system.
Finally, there are no bandwidth weights and/or QoS rules for the migration traffic bound to the corresponding interface(s).
As I'm able to transfer close to 2GBit/s SMB traffic over the interface (using just a plain file copy), I'm wondering why the SMB(?) transfer of the disk volume during shared-nothing live migration is seemingly limited to somewhere around 700 MBit/s on the
team; looking at the TCP-connections on the remote host, it does seem to use multichannel SMB to copy the disk, but I might be mistaken on that.
Are there any further hints or is there any further information I might offer to diagnose this? I'm currently pretty much stumped on where to go on looking.

Slow network rate for imac

I have recently moved to a wireless N network & it seemed fine but now using it the imac I use is really slow. it is this :-
Imac 3.06 Intel, 4Gb RAM on mac os x 10.5.7
I have a new macbook 2.4 Intel, 4Gb RAM on mac os x 10.5.7 on the same network sat right next to the imac & the transmit rate is around 120 for the macbook but only maxing out @ 65 if I am lucky for the imac!
Does anyone know how to solve this, what could be the problem or where to look for help?

Sorry -- but there are 100's of posts about this and similar subjects.. seems IMacs with 10.5.7 are just having all sorts of problems with Wifi.. if you should come across anything that helps let us know!.

Slow tranfer rates for Time Machine Backup

I have a 2012 Macbook Air, a Netgear N600 (WNDR3400v2) wireless router, and a WD My Book Live 2 TB NAS Hard Drive (does not have a usb port). I tried doing the setup for the new backup (32GB) of info over Wifi N (5GHz) and it said it would take 50 hours which seemed extremeley high. Because the NAS only has an ethernet port, I purchased a Thunderbolt to Ethernet port and tried connecting the 2 with a CAT 6 cable. The Air would not recognize the NAS. I then plugged the NAS into the Netgear wireless router, and the the Macbook Air into the wireless router and it came up that the transfer rate would take 13 hours. I thought that was high but managable, so I went that route.
It's been 26 hours, it's transfered 24GB of the 32GB and it still shows 9 more hours to go. I am doing something wrong, or is there a better way of transferring the information? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony

Wireless data transmission will always take longer than being directly connected. So with your current setup, I'd do: NAS to Router by Ethernet, Computer to Router by Ethernet and also turn off the WiFi on the Computer.
If I remember network accessible storage solutions, they're great for Drag 'N Drop file transferring, but are not so great when using for Time Machine. I'd totally recommend a Time Machine for wireless backup instead of the NAS.

Is there a fix for slow wifi speed on U310?

I bought early july a IdeaPad U310 in Texas, and then I moved to Belgium to study. The wifi speed was awefullt slow. So having read the forums, i rang the support in Belgium, and after long discussion, i sent the laptop for repair. Service was fine, but extremely slow, with no information what so ever of where the pc was, if it was received for reparation... anyway, three weeks after, so that today. i received it back and, according to the intervention report, the wireless controler was replaced. The thing is, the problem ofthe U310 is not a defectuous part, it is something more fundamental. I tested the PC in various speed test website.
I have three laptop, a Lenovo W520, a HP Mini 110, and the IdeaPad U310.
I used speedtest.net and brosdbandspeedchecker.co.uk
the result are
Lenovo W520: Download: 19.64 Mbps Upload: 1.99 Mbps
HP Mini 110: Download:15.72 Mbps Upload: 1.28 Mbps
IdeaPad U310: Download 4.75 Mbps Upload:2.1 Mbps.
Now, the speed on U310 is not that catastrophic (not like the 0.3 Mbps I was getting) but still not great and rather much slower than the two other machines, and not fast enough to watch a movie in streaming, it pauses all the time.
So what should i do? Send it again?
But is there a fix to the problem? Because keeping changing the wifi controller as they did did not fix the PC. The MEDION Repair center, which is in charge to repair Lenovo for northern europe (i guess) stated as well that the test "#winstress#" as been done. What is it? Yes the wifi works, but way too slow.
Thanks for advice.

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.

Apple tv slow data rate

HI Guys, i have a problem with one of my Apple TV. I currently have 2 Apple TV and one is having a slow data rate. I have Apple AirPort Time Capsule 2TB (latest gen) with most devices running on wireless connection and I checked the data rate (from the base station) on one Apple TV is showing 65Mbps and on another its showing between 6-13Mbps. The signal reception on both AppleTV is excellent. I have tried unplugging, restarting and restoring the AppleTV with no luck. The model number on this AppleTV is A1427. Any other ideas?

Hi arustandi,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, one of the Apple TV's has a slow connection. I see you have already done a bit of troubleshooting. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help with the slow connection.

Software download for appletv taking too long!

How long should a software upgrade take for appletv. Currently saying 11hrs and my Internet broadband is ver good!.

But they don't pass through the computer.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

Slow WiFi transmission and low signal power (Airport Extreme extended by Airport Express)

I am experiencing slow wifi transmission between my notebooks and my base stations and I am hoping someone can help me fix it.
My wifi configuration is the following:
1 Airport Extreme base station (acting as router, wifi "creator" and DHCP server)
1 Airport Express base station (connected to Airport Extreme with a LAN cable, set up to extend wireless network)
1 Lenovo T410 notebook with Intel Centrino Ultimate N-6300 AGN WiFi antenna (I will call this one "Lenovo"), connected to wireless network, running Windows 7
1 MacBook Pro purchased in 2009 (I will call this one "Mac"), connected to wireless network, running Mac OS X Lion
1 QNAP T209-II NAS, connected to Airport Extreme via UTP cable
Airport Extreme (AXTRM) is creating a 802.11n wireless network with WPA2+PSK security with MAC address filtering. The other base station, Airport Express (AXPRS) is connected to AXTRM via a UTP cable. AXPRS is set to extend my wireless network.
My first problem is low signal power. My appartment is 90m2 in size and is in one floor. It is a new flat with high ceiling and modern layout, meaning little walls, big rooms and wide corridors. Still my notebooks, iPhones and iPad can barely reach AXTRM when I am on the other side of the flat. This was the reason why I purchased AXPRS and placed it in the middle of the appartment. My notebooks are placed just on the other side of the AXPRS's wall (less than 1 meter of distance and a simple 10cm brick wall in between), yet signal strength is only at about 80% (measured on my Lenovo using Lenovo Access Connections tool).
My first question is: Is it normal that in a 90m2 flat with not unusual obstacles, I need 2 base stations and even then have a rather poor reception?
My second problem is even more disturbing. I think I have catastrophic transfer speeds via wLAN. It takes over 1 hour to transfer cca. 1GB of files (average size 8MB) from my Lenovo or Mac to my QNAP. My Lenovo is showing about 250kb/s transfer rate when copying files. At the same time, Windows 7 show connection speed 144Mbps. This mean about 18MB/s. I know these numbers are theoretical and that actual transfer speeds are lower. But hey, 72 times lower? Furthermore, if I copy files from my Mac and my Lenovo at the same time, transfer speed is slightly lower. On the other hand, if I connect my notebooks to AXTRM via LAN cable and copy files to QNAP, transfer speeds are a few megabytes per second.
To make things even more confusing for me: if I transfer files from the internet, I get download speed at about 700kb/s, which is quite in line with my internet download speed. I don't understand why transfer speeds within my local network are so much lower.
Therefore, my second question is: How to set up my base stations and my routers to get a decent wifi connection?
I hope someone could help me. If you need any more information, just ask. Thanks!

From my experience of setting up the Airport WiFi for family members and friends, I have learnt the following :-
1. Airport Express is not as good as Airport Extreme, for being as extender, the difference can be quite a lot.
2. There is always a dead cornor (bad reception) in a house
3. Even moving the Airport Extreme / AE a few inches, the performance can be improved quite significant
4. If possible, always choose 5G 802.11n than 2.4G, unless there are many thick walls.
My suggestion will be as follows :
1. Moving out the AEBS out of a closet, is a good idea
2. Always try to locate the AEBS in the centre of a area, instead of the two sides
3. Try to test the AEBS without an extender, and find the best location area (don't place on the floor, neither above 6 feet height)
4. After finding a best location, set the extender closer to the AEBS, and then moving apart from it (check the performance after every move), it is better that both devices can face each other.
5. I can't tell you the reason, and some people may not agree with me, the new 2013 Airport Exteme performance is better and may be is a good idea to replace your Airport Express, and use it to connect with your router, and old AEBS as an extender
6. Some Powerlinks (in case you can't use a wired ethernet connection between the two devices) work and some don't work with Apple Airport products, therefore, if possible, have an option to return them to the shop if they do not match
Good luck

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my home wifi dies for all devices when I bring my MacBook Pro home.

The situation:
Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, the following sequence of events has happened with my laptop.
1. I come home from work.
2. I open the lid of my laptop.
3. I see the white "your comptuer's messed up" screen. I click a button to restart.
4. We lose wifi. This affects all devices.
5. I restart the router and modem.
Once it's restarted, I have no issues - until I leave for work and bring the computer back that night. I've checked the router and modem - no issues there, as it works perfectly for every other device in the house, and even works for the laptop perfectly (once they've been reset, that is).
Some notes of clarification:
1. The wifi does not die with any other device - this includes an iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 and an iPad 1.
2. BUT, when the wifi DOES die, it affects every device in the house.
3. My laptop does not do this with any other wifi - only my home wifi.
It seems to me that the correlation is in the initial connection. When my laptop initially tries to connect to our home wifi, it's as if it fries both the connection and the computer. I see a lot of issues with people losing wifi for their computer, or slow wifi, but I haven't seen anything that relates to this wifi death across all devices when the laptop is reawoken after being at work. It's like there's something messed up with the switch from work wifi to home wifi.
Please help!

Hi,
I had a similar issue with Time Machine after upgrading my iMac (where the Time Machine HDD is connected and shared from) to Mountain Lion. This was fixed by following the instruction from this site: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4700. It seems that Mountain Lion introduced a more secure network protocol which may not be supported (yet) by the network drive.
Hope this helps.

Time capsule painfully slow wifi

New time capsule , painfully slow wifi , cisco works lightning fast so the issue is with the TC. Looked at forums and I see it's a common isssue. Any ideas that actually work?

Download the free iStumbler app to examine the strength of your connection.
If it's not good, look for interference with another wireless device, cordless phone, microwave oven, etc. Turn them off temporarily; if you find an offender, move it farther away. See AirPort and Bluetooth: Potential sources of wireless interference for more.
Try different WIFI channels.

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...

Too slow transfer speed for Toshiba 3.0

Hi there
i just purchased a toshiba 3.0 external hdd.
I use windows 7 genuine.
My pc specs are pretty ok cos i am able to run heavy games like crysis 2.
The problem is, My external hdd has slow transfer rates. This problem i started facing aroung 3 months ago. My hdd is out of warranty.
My USB ports are ok and i connect it to primary port.
The transfer speeds are just around 10MBPS and sometimes it drops to KBPS!!!!
Also, it does not copy some files and gives error "Failed to read from source disk" or something like that.
There is no Virus in it, I have enabled write-cache. I have defragged it.
My OS is fine and also, i checked it on other OSes.
Also, i have tried using "check disk for errors" with proper procedure but it hangs somewhere in the middle after it processes 500000 sectors or so.
I got my HDD from my cousin as he no more used PC and without any cover so i dont have any idea of model (although if there is any utility to find model then please notify me).
Also, it worked fine during then. Me and my cousin are from India only.
How can i fix this issue?
Please help me.

Please dont understand me wrong but if the case is urgent call Toshiba hotline in your country or contact nearest Toshiba service provider.

Refresh rate for Numeric Indicator

I have application that displays 60 16 bit word of data in Hex format on the screen simulatanousely as I receive block of data at at approximately 10,000 times a second through USB. Obviously, at this 10,000Hz rate, it is an over-kill in terms of the human eye visually processing at that rate. Does anyone know what is the screen update rate for numberic indators and is there a way of controlling it. I was trying to see if I could set it for 10Hz.
Thanks.
Paul

Let me clarify my question:
I have a project which could send data to the screen at a rapid rate (think oscope). I do not want this to slow down the program more than necessary. The data will be grabbed in a loop and displayed to the screen (and possibly enqueued for extra processing).
It is my understanding that if I simply wire it to an indicator (yes I suppose this was a typo) or local variable it will be handled nicely, i.e. sent to an update buffer to handle screen updates at an appropriate rate.
However I would like to encapsulate my GUI (either using an action engine with USRs or a class) and so was planning on having references to all my controls and indicators within this encapsulation.
So again, my question is this: Is there a way to write to an indicator (or control) via the reference while still having the advantages (speed/display buffer) of a local variable?
Secondary question:
Where is the best place to find information on all the various efficiencies LabVIEW has built in. For example, in my last project I was actually writing my data to a separate queue which was dequeued in a loop with a built in delay and only the most recent item was written to the screen and the rest deleted. In other words, I had no idea LabVIEW already handled this in the background and I would like to know what else LabVIEW already takes care of for me.
Thanks.
