Slow YouTube when connected to home wireless broadband DSL2+

I'm experiencing really slow YouTube downloads. I'm connected to my home wireless broadband which is really fast (17000/880, however downloading YouTube content on the phone takes ages. Any suggestions ?

The answer is set your Wifi to B only and all the speed problems with the iPhone 3G will be fixed! There seems to be a problem with the 802.11G on the iPhone in my experience.

  • IPhone GPS location incorrect when connected to home wireless network

    Hi all,
    My iPhone GPS works well except when I am at home and connect to my wireless network. It always gives the same incorrect location about 3km away from my house. When I turn wireless off then the phone gives my correct location.
    I think it is somehow getting confused when connecting to my airport. (I wonder if it is showing the location of the local telephone exchange?)
    Has anyone else encountered this problem or found a solution? Or can I somehow tell my airport where it is?
    Thanks!

    A company called Skyhook Wireless maps WiFi and cell tower locations it scans. Apple uses this to help your GPS locate itself quicker. Here's how it works: http://www.skyhookwireless.com/inaction/apple.php
    If your WiFi has not been scanned properly, you can submit a WiFi location update by going here: http://www.skyhookwireless.com/howitworks/submit_ap.php

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Internet speed slows down when connected via airport express

    Internet speed slows down when connecting via airport express. When connecting directly via the timecapsulethe internet speed is ok, when connecting via the airport express the speed slows down.What can I do to change that? Any suggestions?

    Turn off the AirPort Express completely as a test, and move your computer very close to the location of the Express.
    As I said before, the Express can only extend the bandwidth (speed) that it receives from the Time Capsule, so the speed that you see there with the Express powered off will be the fastest speed of which the Express is capable.
    The Express will make the signal go further when it extends....but it will not make the signal go faster.
    A good location for a device that extends wirelessly is a point that is about half the distance from the Time Capsule and the general area that needs more wireless coverage.
    If you locate the AirPort Express too far from the Time Capsule or there are more than a couple of walls in the signal path, the signal will be very slow by the time that it reaches the Express....and the Express simply extends a signal that has already slowed down significantly.
    If you already have the Express located about half the distance between the Time Capsule and general area that needs more wireless coverage, how many walls, ceilings or other obstructions are there in the signal path between the Time Capsule, the AirPort Express and the area that needs more coverage?
    Often, due to obstructions, it is just not possible to achieve good performance when you try to extend a network wirelessly. The solution is connect the AirPort Express to the Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet connection.
    There is virtually no signal loss with this type of connection, so the Express can be located exactly where it is needed and it will produce a much faster wireless signal in this type of setup.

  • TS1398 how do i configure so i phone connects with home wireless automatically? currently, it connects to prior owners wireless since disconnected.

    how do i configure wifi so my Iphone connects w home wireless automatically?

    Hi Tesserax
    You could, but its benefits may depend on how you have it configured with the D-Link router. That is, do you have the TC directly connected to the D-Link by Ethernet or is it just wirelessly joining the D-Links' wireless network?
    I have the TC connected via Ethernet cable.
    I am assuming that you have the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) configured as a wireless client so that it can join the D-Link's wireless network for iTunes streaming ... correct? If so, then it would be performing like any other wireless client (desktop, laptop, printer, etc.) and will not interfere with the D-Link's wireless network.
    I rechecked the AE and you are correct that the AE is set to join a wireless network.
    With having so many devices running on the wireless network, would it make sense to have a few device on each wireless system?(D-Link, TC, and AE)
    I know it sounds like overkill, but there is the possibility that all the devices could be running at once. I'm not sure if that would cause any conflicts.
    Is there any advantage to turning on the wireless on TC just for the iPhones for example or is it better to keep things as they are?(It works but is it efficient?)
    Please be aware I'm not fully knowledgeable with wireless routers and their capabilities.

  • Unable to connect to home wireless network with my iPod touch

    I've had my iTouch for several months now and I'm still not able to connect to my wireless network at home. I've tried the resets and other suggestions I've found in the discussion groups but nothing has worked.
    I have an older Netgear Router MR814v2 and it is unsecured. It is attached to my old desktop, HP Pavilion running Windows ME, which is not able to run the itunes software. My HP laptop is where my iTouch and iTunes software is installed.
    The iTouch displays my network with good signal strength, but when I try to connect I get the "unable to join the network "NETGEAR".
    Going to my router, it does not recognize my iTouch as an attached device. Why is that and what am I missing?
    Thank you for all suggestions and your help.

    I tried powering down the router. When it's off the iTouch does not recognize the network and then when it's powered on again, the iTouch recognizes the network. Unlike the public wi-fi spots that my iTouch responds to, where all the info like IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, DNS etc are populated in the settings...my iTouch does not populate these fields at home even though it recognizes the network. I still get the unable to connect to network error. Could it be that my router is antiquated and can not support the iTouch? Like I said earlier, my Router does not recognize the iTouch as being attached to it.

  • Nano formatted for Windows, but slow updating when connected to Mac

    my girlfriend has an iPod nano and has it formatted to her PC at her home. however, she brings it over to my Mac to grab some songs i purchase from the Store. when connected to my Mac, the transfer rate is that of USB 1 (it's super slow), even though it is plugged into a USB 2 port. is there anything i can do to the iPod to alleviate this? it takes far too long to load a single album.
    appreciate any help or advice. thanks!

    Since when is putting music purchased from the Store onto other iPods illegal?
    As long as they are YOUR iPods, there is nothing wrong with it.
    You're not doing that though... you're putting your music on someone else's iPod... that's piracy.
    Since when is putting music purchased from the Store onto other iPods illegal?
    Again... YOUR iPods... not someone else's.
    Plus, it'd be no different than transferring it to her PC and authorizing that, since you can authorize 5 computers.
    Right.. it would be no different since that is also illegal.
    You can authorize up to 5 of YOUR OWN machines. It's illegal to authorize someone else's computer to play your purchased tracks.
    Anyway, thank you for your input though
    You're welcome.

  • IPad won't connect to home wireless network

    Got my iPad for Christmas and it has worked perfectly until tonight. Out of the blue it wasn't connected to my home wireless network. I reset the modem, powered the iPad off and on again, reset the network settings and reset all settings. No luck, it just keeps searching all of the laptops in the house work just fine ??

  • Can't connect to home wireless, connection failed.

    After browsing these forums for a few hours and others alike I can't seem to find anyone with a similar problem to mine. Which is quite simply to connect to my home wireless router.
    The problem started after returning home from a weekend away, I chose to turn my Mac off completely whilst I was away.
    Upon booting my Mac up, it did not connect to my wireless network. I checked my iPhone to see if that was connected which it was. So as a quick thought I rebooted my router which had no effect. I checked my PS3 to see if that still connected and it does, to which I booted up bootcamp which is also connecting fine which removes hardware problems from the list.
    My Wi-Fi is on, the router is broadcasting and there is no interfering channels. All it says when I try and connect is connection failed.
    I've tried many different things such as removing the network from the known wireless network list, removed the network from keychain, rebooted my Mac several times, cleared PRAM. All to no effect.
    Am I missing something painstakingly obvious?
    Thanks

    I have a MacBook Pro Retina (Oct 2013) running the latest Mavericks

    Please take all the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
    Step 2
    Run Software Update and install all available updates for OS X or your computer's firmware.
    Step 3
    If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
    From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If there is a box marked Discoverable and it's checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
    If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it (not applicable to OS X 10.9 or later.)
    Step 4
    Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
    Step 5
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Step 6
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

  • Blank window when connecting to public wireless network

    I'm having trouble connecting my Macbook Pro to the wireless network at my folks' nursing home. The MBP can see the private and public networks, but when I try to connect to the public network, a blank window pops up - no text or buttons. My nephew's Windows laptop connects with no problems. I'm running 10.7 (Lion). Any ideas?

    A guess would be that your university uses a different encryption than your home wireless and that your driver has problems with that. If you search this bbs with your driver's name (and that encryption), you will also encounter a number of freeze problems when using newer kernels. However, those drivers and kernels move quick, so if you see an error in a post from 2 months ago, the error might have vanished already.
    Second, you should find out the card you are using with

  • No connection to home wireless after system update

    I'm on OS-X Leopard 10.5.2. After a recently system update last week I can no longer connect to my home wireless network. There have been no other changes made to either the firmware on the ADSL modem or on my MacBook Pro apart from the system update. The odd thing is the airport in the MBP picks up all the other wireless networks in the area apart from my own. My wife also have a MBP and her laptop picks up the home network without any probs (she hasn't applied the same system updates yet - she's on an older generation 12" MBP with IBM CPU). I've rebooted my MBP in safe mode and then rebooted normally. Suddenly everything was OK and I was on my network but when I opened Firefox no traffic was shifting in or out. Page requests timed out and then suddenly I lost all wireless connection. Back to square one. Any advice on how to get around this?
    Regards,
    Kaustav

    The first thing to check in this situation is to make sure you are running the most up to date firmware available from your router manufacturer on your router.
    Several people with similar issues have updated their router firmware and found it to fix their problems; others have not.
    Regardless, it's worth a try and is a good troubleshooting step.

  • Why won't my Apple TV recognize my Apple ID when connecting to Home Sharing?

    I'm out of town using my Apple TV in my RV connected to WiFi at a campground and I'm trying to connect to Home Sharing because that seems to be the only available option to me when I turn on the Apple TV.
    Whenever I try to connect my Apple ID info, it gets denied with the "Error" page saying that my Apple ID info is incorrect. However, I have re-entered and rechecked the info multiple times and even tried using a different family member's ID info.
    What am I doing wrong here? I just want to watch Netflix via Apple TV!

    Re: Solution for Apple TV 2, Xfinity router, Ethernet connection and Home Sharing
    You may need to configure some ports on your router for port forwarding. Before you do, you may want to try setting the Apple TV date and time to manual but have the time zone be the same as your computer that is running iTunes.
    The link is to a more aggressive approach that will solve your connectivity problem. Your equipment may not be the same but the configuration changes is what you are looking for here.

  • Trouble connecting to home wireless router

    I'm using a Belkin wireless router with security mode of WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK).
    My iPod touch 2G used to be able to connect to the wireless network, but it can't now. It gives me incorrect password message. Only thing I've done is update the software to 3.0.

    thank you SOOO much!!! I had been struggling for a couple of hours and this solved it all in under five minutes. it seems to be when you change from WEP (my old router) to WPA2 (new router) and not just 3.0. I have a Touch with 2.0 and it was the same story. thanks again!
