Slow wireless connection on imac

Hello,
I'm dealing with a wireless connectivity issue with my brand new imac 27". My imac can find my wireless network but the download speed is very slow (1 Mbps instead of 11 Mbps). I'm working with a Dlink DIR-615 router which is installed in my garage, but my Imac is on the second floor. Putting the imac in the living room showed that the internet speed was fine. But upstairs it was not. However, a Windows laptop that I've put next to my Imac, showed better internet performance (5 Mbps). I understand that maybe there is a problem with receiving a good wifi signal upstairs but then again, why is the internet speed on my pc faster when they are both on the same place ? Is there a good tool for a mac to see the wifi signal strength ?
Thanks

Oh yes, you can torn Wifi/Airport off if you like.
Macs look for an Internet connection ftom the top of the Interface list.
Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712
10.7 & 10.8…
System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.
10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
10.4 instructions...
Is that Interface dragged to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations.
If using Wifi/Airport...
Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
For 10.5/10.6/10.7/10.8, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...

  • 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.

  • Has anybody solved the slow wireless connections speeds of the new Imacs

    I have just purchased the new imac...and was made aware of the disastrous connections speeds using wireless.. Does anybody know if apple have come up with a solution...or are they just not dealing with the problem?

    I am a brand new Mac user with a new 24 inch iMac purchase. Macs are supposed to be hassle free right? Right. No question I was about ready to throw it out the window because the wireless connection to the expensive AP base station was, oh, 100x slower than my Dell laptop side by side about 1 foot away. Nothing changed even if I connected directly to the AP using an ethernet cable. My connection consists of an Actiontec DSL gateway connected directly to my AP extreme that allows wireless to my PC laptop as well as my new iMac. Hours and hours go by until I find this help link on Mac Orchard Forums:

  • Slow Wireless Connection

    I am having problems with a very slow internet connection, that seems to be getting slower.
    Currently we have a DSL Modem connected to a LinkSys DSL Router connected to an Airport Extreme. We have been using this setup for several years.
    We run 2-4 laptops of various types...MacBook, MacBook Pro, and 1 Windows. Today, I can hardly get my MacBook to go anywhere.
    I went up to my iMac G5 and plugged in the ethernet directly to a port in the router and did a DSL speed test through my ISP and it came back as 4.4 Mbps, about the same as it has since I upgraded speeds last fall.
    I then disconnected the ethernet and switched back to wireless, and ran the same test. This time is came back 775 Kbps.
    Any suggestions? Thanks!

    I am assuming that you are still having the issue with network performance, or at least it has not stabilized.
    I would still think Wi-Fi interference to be the potential issue and suggest that you pursue this a bit farther ... if you don't mind.
    Again, I would suggest downloading a copy of iStumbler. Use iStumbler's Inspector feature (select Edit > Inspector from iStumbler's menu) to determine the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) at different points around your house, by performing a simple RF site survey. Within the Inspector, note the values for "signal" & "noise" at these locations. Start with your MacBook near the base station, note the readings, and then, choose the locations where you will typically use your MacBook to access the Internet.
    SNR is the signal level (in dBm) minus the noise level (in dBm). For example, a signal level of -53dBm measured near an access point and typical noise level of -90dBm yields a SNR of 37dB, a healthy value for wireless LANs.
    The SNR, as measured from the MacBook, should decrease as the range to the base station increases because of applicable free space loss. Also an increase in RF interference from microwave ovens and cordless phones, which increases the noise level, also decreases SNR.
    SNR Guideline
    o 40dB+ SNR = Excellent signal
    o 25dB to 40dB SNR = Very good signal
    o 15dB to 25dB SNR = Low signal
    o 10dB to 15dB SNR = Very low signal
    o 5dB to 10dB SNR = No signal
    If the SNR is 20dB+ at each of these locations, then you should be getting reasonable performance from your AirPort. If less, either try to locate the source of the Wi-Fi interference or try relocating either the base station or the wireless clients until they are within a 20dB SNR range.

  • 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.

  • Slow Internet Connection on iMac G5 with Airport or Ehernet

    I'm running 10.5.8 on a Power PC G5 iMac (ISight) with 2.5GB SDRAM and 40GB spare space on the hard disk. There's 2 ways I can connect to the internet:
    Using Airport, where I get a max download speed of 3Mbps.
    Using a Devolo powerline bridge where download speeds are also 3Mbps. The spec transfer rate of the Devolo device is 14 Mbps. All download speeds are measured using www.speedtest.net, and I have a 802.11g wireless router.
    My ISP subscription is for 16 Mbps, which I can almost achieve on my iPad elsewhere in the house.
    As a straight comparison test, I ran the speedtest on the iMac with a Windows XP machine right beside it. While the Windows machine returned a max download of 7Mbps, the same test at the same time on the iMac only recorded 2.5Mbps.
    I have done all the ususl things: reset permissions, rebooted PRAM, reset the router, deleted all wireless connections from the iMac etc.
    It therefore appears that, whichever means of connection is used, the iMac can only reach 3 Mbps. Is this something which could be a function of the age of the iMac (6 years) and its spec, or is there something I can do to improve the speed and return it to the higher levels I used to enjoy?

    Hi Paul,
    That really is a first...if you go over to the iPad discussions there are a lot of complaints about the iPads are so slow compared with the uers' Macs/PCs, etc. You must be the first person to say their iPad is faster than their iMac
    It is very possible the issue is the age of the iMac, though it seems the speed is a little low for a machine connected by ethernet. I could understand the slower transfer rate on wireless since the older AirPort cards were much slower than today.
    I don't have my 802.11 standard here right now, over at my daughter's house, but the transfer rates you quote for the service provider sound like the g-protocol limits in free-air. So the half-speed rate is not an unreasonable reduction.
    When you say you used to enjoy higher transfer rates, was that with 10.5 or 10.4? Just curious, because improvements in OSs often carry along higher system overhead, also.

  • 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...

  • Very Slow Wireless Connection

    I bought a while ago a WRT54G V6.0 and although the wired connection works pretty well, the wireless connection is very slow, I have trouble accessing web pages but once it enters a site i can navigate through it without a problem, but when I go to another website I struggle to enter. I have tried updating the router several times, changing the transmission channel and it seems nothing works. could someone please help?

    try changing the MTU size on the router ui in the following order .... 1492 , 1452 , 1365 ... check whether it makes any difference ...

  • Slow wireless connection 802.11n AEBS and Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro

    I have three Macs all currently connected wirelessly to the new 802.11n AEBS.
    Mac #1 - PowerMac G5
    Mac #2 - 17" MacBook Pro Intel Core Duo
    Mac #3 - 15" MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo
    The wireless connection speed (when using the web browser) is fine for both Mac #1 and Mac #2 but noticable slower for Mac #3. All three Macs are sitting right next to each other. All three Mac are getting an excellent signal. All three Macs are running the same version of the OS. All three Macs have identical network setting (as far as I can tell).
    When connecting Mac #3 to the AEBS via an ethernet cable, performance is good. I've also tried configuring the channel manually in the AEBS to channel #1 but this did not help (seemed to help others in a different thread). Additionally, I ran the 802.11n enabler and performance was bad both before and after its installation.
    Any idea why the Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro would be performing differently?

    Ok eveyone. I did some digging and was able to get the network speed back with my Core2Duo machine. I put the Airport Extreme into Bridged mode and connected the Ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports, not the WAN port. After that everything works great. for more information check out this lengthy thread...

    Apparently the new base stations have a few issues that need to be worked out so I'd consider this a workaround. There should be no reason to have to do this. Good luck.

  • MacBook Pro 2010: very slow wireless connection

    I know a number of people have posted similar questions, but I think I've done everything I can to fix this.
    I bought a 13 inch MacBook Pro last week, and found I was getting a very slow connection to my wireless network. OK when I was right next to the base station, but very slow in another room (the room I want to use it in).
    I checked with speedtest.net, which showed I was getting download speeds of around 0.3 Mbps - although, curiously, it showed upload speeds of 1.5 Mbps. I ran my old MacBook in the same room, on the same wireless connection, and consistently got speeds of over 10 Mbps. So it can't be the network that's causing the issue.
    After an hour on the phone with tech support, I took the Mac back to the Apple Store, where I was unable to get any wireless connection whatever. They exchanged it for a new machine. Worked fine in the store - but when I got it home, I was still getting very slow speeds. The old MacBook still outperforms it by at least a factor of ten. All the system software is up to date.
    Is this a dodgy batch? Or has the wireless range dropped considerably with the new MacBooks?

    Darin,
    You're right - there are a lot of issues about MBP WiFi. I think there's a major problem with it.
    If there was a ..."major problem with it" you would see more complaints than wifi just being among the top 10 discussion items in a trouble shooting forum. There are millions of MBP users many of whom, like myself, use wifi every day without issue.
    Your statement "They exchanged it for a new machine. Worked fine in the store - but when I got it home, I was still getting very slow speeds." would lead one to suspect maybe interference from some source or a configuration issue rather than a "major problem".
    You probably already tried changing the channel, resetting your router, changing the security scheme, elimination possible sources of interference, separating your components (router, computer, external monitor, ...), etc. but maybe starting over with a default configuration will help isolate the problem.

  • Terribly slow wireless connection.

    hi, I have a wireless B router model BEFW11S4 ver. 4. My wireless connection says that it is usually "good" or "very good", but when browsing the web i get painfully slow speeds. When i reset the router and go into the settings and restore my network settings my connection speeds are fast again for about 10-20 minutes before it is painfully slow again. This is terribly frustrating. can anyone please help me, i would appreciate it! thanks, mike

    There are many causes for poor wireless connections, and many solutions:
    First of all, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
    Poor wireless connections are often caused by radio interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. This includes wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, microwave ovens, wireless mice and keyboards, wireless speakers, and your neighbor's wireless network. In rare cases, Bluetooth devices can interfere. Even some 5+ GHz phones also use the 2.4 Ghz band. Unplug these devices, and see if that corrects your problem.
    In your router, try a different channel. There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Usually channel 1, 6, or 11 works best. Check out your neighbors, and see what channel they are using. Because the channels overlap one another, try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors. For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, try any channel 1 through 4.
    Also, try to locate the router about 4 to 6 feet above the floor, in an open area. Do not locate it behind your monitor or near other computer equipment or speakers. The antenna should be vertical.
    Also, in the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. If your current network is not listed, enter its info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings".
    If the above does not fix your problem, download and install the latest driver for your wireless card.
    Some users have reported improved wireless performance by switching from WEP to WPA encryption.
    If you still have trouble, download and install the latest firmware for your router. After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
    Hope this helps.

    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

  • Really slow wireless connection

    Ive had my Macbook Pro for almost three years and have never had any wireless connection problems.

  • Unable to set wireless connection with imac and Canon MX860 printer ...

    I recently converted to a Mac and bought a Mac Book, iMac, Airport Extreme, and a Canon MX860 printer. i have installed the canon software numerous times on my iMac to set up the wireless connection. yes, the airport extreme recognizes the printer and i am able to connect to my private and guest networks. the signal strength is good. It's the next part that I'm always stuck at. The Printer settings does not display when i choose More Printers and select Canon IJ Network. I called Apple support and we tried changing my network settings to an unsecured network and it still has the same issue. It was recommended this may be Canon driver issue and advised me to contact Canon. I reset the Airport, changed my network name and password .. i think i tried everything and it still does not work. What was I thinking when i said i wanted to convert to Mac? I can't move forward and connect my macbook or pc yet until I successfully connect the imac. Yes, i installed the latest canon IJ Network tool. of course the USB connection is fine but that defeats the whole purpose if why i bought this printer. please advise how to fix. this is getting very frustrating.

    "I ran into the same network installation issue that I've seen in other Canon printers. Canon's network setup forces you to connect by USB cable first. Only after you tell the program that you want to use the computer over the network can you remove the USB cable, move the printer if needed, and if you're using a wired connection, reconnect a network cable. The process isn't particularly difficult, but it's more cumbersome than what other printers let you do, which is simply put the printer where you want it, plug in an Ethernet cable, and install the software." source = http://shop.pcmag.com/shop/product/pcmag/84634068.aspx?SB=6&OB=1

    "I had high hopes for this printer - it seemed to have it all. But the wireless feature never worked, it only worked on my gigabit network for about two weeks (only THREE print jobs including the test print), and never observed it to work via USB - Vista (x64 Ultimate) would throw an error saying it could not attach the device."

  • WRT400N router Slow wireless connection

    I just purchase a Simultaneous dual band N router Model # WRT400N.
    Works fine but when you connect a wire PC and download any type of file, the wireless connection slows down dramatically. Also when playing online thru a wire connection, the wireless connection is slow.
    Any ideas how to fix this problem?
    There is no new firmware to update, sometimes that helps.

    On the Linksys Setup Page,Under setup tab MTU is set to "Auto"..Change it to "Manual" and reduce the size to 1364 and Click on save settings...
