Slow wireless connection after 10.4.11 update

Hi,
I have a 17-inch iMac (2Ghz cpu) and ever since I updated to 10.4.11 my wireless connection has been very slow. I used to have download speeds between 150 and 200 KB, and now I can’t get past 20 or 30 KB. I have an XP laptop right beside the iMac, using the same wireless router and the connection is a lot faster, achieving the 200 KB I used to have with the iMac.
I also used to transfer files a lot faster than I do now. I connect to a pc through smb and transferring files is really, really slow. It takes ages just to begin the transfer, and a 5MB file can take up to 15 minutes. It never took this long…
The connection is quite stable though, it rarely disconnects, so I’m not sure whether I’m having the same problem other users have been posting in the forums. What I do know is that the update messed with my wireless connection.
I’ve tried running Disk Utility’s repair disk permissions, Applejack’s AUTO repair, trashing plist files that I saw in other posts, nothing works.
Anyone with the same problem? Any ideas?
Thanks,
josemagalhaes

Hi again,
I think I found a solution for this. It’s not the best solution, more of a workaround, but it’s been working for me.
Searching other threads, I found this topic about users who had intermittent connection to the internet (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1027382&tstart=0). I tried changing the settings in my wireless router – not Linksys, it’s an Asus WL-520G, but has similar options – and the speeds were up again! SMB file transfers work at good speed, and the internet connection is back to normal.
I’m not sure what these settings are for, but anyway all I did was change the “Beacon Interval” to 50, “RTS” to 2304 and “Fragmentation” to 2305 (I didn’t change the MTU because that seemed to be a PPPoE setting, not wireless).
As I said, it’s not really a fix, because nothing changes in OS X, but anyway it may help some users who’ve been having the same problem.

  • Problems with Wireless connection AFTER 10.4.2 update

    I have read several topics on wireless problems AFTER the 10.4.2 update and wondering if anyone (or Apple) has found a fix to this problem. I cant get to my network or the internet via airport. I have tried zapping the pram, resetting the permissions, rebooting, checking for more update on a wired connection, reinstalling both 10.4.2 combo and 4.2 update and still nothing. This happened RIGHT after the reboot upon completion of the update. Im stuck and wondering if anyone has a solution or has any one SUCCESSFULLY contacted Apple and have they got a solution to fix the problem??

    I'm having the same problems with accessing my airport base station (first generation snow at 4.0.9) after loading the airport admin 4.2 patch. I loaded the 4.2 patch on my g5 and G4 running 10.3.9. The response/across of the wifi connection is very poor. I can't use chicken of the VNC to manage the G4 from the G5 anymore at all due to the slow response and accessing the internet via either the G4 or the G5 is like a dial up connection. The broadband speed test results are 192mb to 274mb up and similar down.
    I have a 12"powerbook (DVI 1gig version) with 10.3.9 that I have not loaded the 4.2 patch on and I am not having any issues with wifi access to the base station or the internet. broadband logs in right at 2.8mb via DSL. I also have a Dell laptop that I access the internet through the airport base station and I have no issues with speed and the same 2.8mb broadband speed test results.
    Conclusion something in the airport 4.2 patch has changed the airport cards ability to see the base station.
    With all that said, my question is - How do I back out of the 4.2 airport admin patch provided by apple or how do I resolve the slow response times between the airport cards in the G4 and G5 and the base station?
    Any help?

  • Wireless Connection after 10.4.8 Update

    I want to try and update again to 10.4.8. Has the wireless connection issue been resolved yet? The problem I was having before was when my mac went into sleep mode or I would reboot the wireless connection would be dropped. I tried just about everything I found on this board, but nothing worked. I had to archive and restore my mac back to 10.4.4. Is it safe to update, if not is there a fix for after I update?
    Any help would be great!.

    If I had an IntelMac I'd wait, or certainly not go past 10.4.7, and at that I'd surely use the bigger Combo Updates, not any of the Deltas.
    Yet if I did try 10.4.8... it'd be installed on a seperate FW drive for testing... without messing with the working install.
    All that being said... I still am at 10.3.9 or less on all my important work machines... only have Tiger on 2 machines to help sort out/test all the 10.4 problems!

    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.

  • One Solution for Fixing Slow Wireless Connection

    Quick and easy solution for slow wireless connection.
    My hardwired PC connection was working fine over FIOS, but my wireless connection through my Macbook Pro was soooo slowwww, although the machine itself was fine. Pages would take forever to appear, then finally sort of pop up. Didn't really seem to be a Mac problem, just a connection problem.
    After searching forever to find a fix, I found a quick & easy solution that works at least for now: change your DNS address. 
    I'm not a techie so I don't know ALL of the implications of doing this, but in desperation, it has worked for me and I think at no risk to your network or machine. Changing my DNS address has made my connection blazing fast and relieved many weeks of frustration. 
    HOW: I can only share how to change on a Mac. (Please chime in if you can give directions for PC. ) Just go to this Apple support page, which will outline exactly how to do it. I used 4.2.2.2, I think you can also use 4.2.2.1 as the DNS address. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2002
    Other resources I've found follow:
    (specific to FIOS):  http://www.stationstops.com/2008/04/16/high-speed-internet-3-tips-to-optimize-your-verizon-fios-broa...
    (Specific for Mac): http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=358919
    Maybe this is a commonly-known fix but it wasn't for me, so hopefully it will help some of the other less-than-technical people out there. Good luck! 

    Actually this is a common problem with Mac OSX (http://rubyisbeautiful.com/2008/2/8/osx-dns-fix-update) and how it does DNS lookups and pertains to routers that provide the internal gateway (i.e. 192.168.1.1) as the DNS address which is what the ActionTec does by default.
    You can change that at the router level to either push out Verizon's dns that the router then uses or any other open dns server.  I had to do this a long time ago for some of the OS X boxes on my network.

  • Printer loses wireless connection after some hours

    Hello to all!
    Printer is connected and I can see on the screen correct IP. Desktops with Win7 and Ubuntu are used. After switching on printer works properly, but several hours later its unreachable from both systems. Printer shows connection, I can see it in router web access tool, but it is unreachable. I have to switch off printer, reboot the router, then switch on printer - and it works. Not very comfort.
    Does anybody know how to fix this bug?

    Tips for preventing wireless connection issues
    The following tips can help prevent wireless connection issues:
    Move the printer and the computer or access point (router) closer together.
    Remove any metal objects between the printer and the computer or access point (router). Objects such as refrigerators or metal bookcases can interfere with wireless transmission.
    Move any device that emits radio signals farther away from the printer. Devices such as microwaves and cordless telephones can interfere with wireless transmission.
    Consult the router manufacturer for updates and configuration of your router.
    Make sure that your computer is not connected through a VPN. You cannot access your printer on your wireless network while connected to a VPN.

  • No wireless connection after pacman update

    For the packages, I did a full system upgrade. I cant remember how many or what packages were actually upgraded cause they were.. many.
    Im sorry admin! Let me try to copy as much as I can : the journal after using wifi-menu:

  • HT6114 MAC Air slow to boot after 10.9.2 update.

    I have a 2011 MAC Air. After the 10.9.2 upgrade my laptop takes about 20 minutes to boot from power off. Once started it works fine, it is just extremely slow to boot. Prior to the update I could boot in about 10 seconds. Any thoughts how to resolve this issue?

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
         computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
         screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
         Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

  • Ethernet slow to connect after waking from sleep

    Since installing Lion (and updating to 10.7.1) on my 2008 24" iMac I have noticed that after waking from sleep the internet connection takes about 10 seconds to restore. I have reset the SMC and PRAM and performed a safe boot (in case this helped) but to no avail. The slow conenction can be observed if after waking from sleep the Network System Preference is clicked and the ethernet status "light" is red, changes briefly to amber and then green indcating a connection. The iMac is connected via an ethernet cable to a Linksys 802.11n 4 port wireless router.
    I also have a 2010 13" MacBook Pro, with the same OS, and version, conencted in the same way to the same Linksys router and it does not exhibit this problem.
    This slow internet connection access after waking from sleep is an annoyance and I'd appreciate any input on how to elimnate it.
    Thanks to those wiser than I, who might read this note.

    SOLUTION FOUND!
    I've found a list of possible solutions here's the link:
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/22/wifi-dropping-in-os-x-lion-fixes/
    I solved my problem moving the Ethernet and WiFi adapters in the top of the list and Bluetooth at the end.
    Move Wi-Fi to the top of the Service Order list – This is an old tip that simply prioritizes WiFi as the primary method that your Mac should connect to the internet, and it seems to help maintain connections

    Not sure if you performed this or not, once you do a factory reset, immediately after that you are suppose to perform a factory reset by holding is the reset button in on the back of the linksys router for 30 seconds, then wait about 2-3 minutes for the router to sync back up.
    Important = Write down your previous settings in the router as they will be erased and you will have to manually input the info.
    Hope that this will help,
    Ttech
    If not, try this
    Here are some steps to follow for a slow or poor connection.
    1.      Give your network a unique SSID and do not use Linksys and set your SSID Broadcast to enable.
    2.      You can also try A different channel. There are 11 channels and  1, 6 or 11 is better
    3.      You can try raising your router approximately 4-6 feet above the floor and make sure the antennas are vertical.
    4.      access your wireless software by going to your Profile or preferred networks, if any are named Linksys or ones that you do not know please delete them. Go to the settings or properties and check the information to make sure it is correct.
    5.      See if there are any updated drivers to download.
    6.      Try to use WPA encryption if you can
    *** As always upgrade to the latest firmware

  • No wireless connection after pacman -Syu

    Hi,
    I'm almost new in this forum. Recently I did a system upgrade (or update?). After that the wireless connection didn't work again. I used the search function but I didn't find a solution so I reinstalled networkmanager and the wireless card driver (from AUR). Then I did everything mentioned in these wikis:

    I'm making some progress. I realized I forgot to blacklist ssb and ndiswrapper. I compiled the driver from the Broadcom website. This is the new modules array in rc.conf:
    MODULES=(lib80211_crypt_tkip wl !ndiswrapper !b43 !ssb fuse snd-hda-intel)
    Now "sudo iwconfig" output is
    lo        no wireless extensions.
    eth0      IEEE 802.11bg  ESSID:""  Nickname:""
              Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point: Not-Associated

    eth1      no wireless extensions.
    I'm still not able to scan wireless networks.
    sudo iwlist scan
    lo        Interface doesn't support scanning.
    eth0      Failed to read scan data : Invalid argument
    eth1      Interface doesn't support scanning.
    Neither WICD or NetworkManager are able to detect wireless networks.
    Thank you in advance,

  • Orange Livebox & MacBook Pro Slow wireless connection

    Hello,
    Looks like we are a lot experiencing a slow or sporadic wireless connection.
    I have done all updates, the MBP finds the livebox and connect properly but I have a very slow connection.
    Lan connection is working fine and quick.
    Please could somebody help me, this is my first Mac, if there is any tips or tricks to get a normal wireless speed.
    Cheers.

    What kind of wireless router or access point are you using?
    Are you getting full signal?
    Is the wireless router or access point around anything with a lot of metal or..
    since you said that when you connect to your modem via ethernet then you could have a problem with your wireless infrastructure... if you have tested your wireless network with another computer and it works fine or if you went somewhere that has a hot spot then you can determine if there is an issue with your home network or an issue with the wireless card in the laptop...
