TS1398 My iPod 4g is getting better wifi range and speed at long distance than my iPhone 4s

I just tested my range had the bolt on the same speed test server one in my left hand the other in my right .I did not do test simultaneously. I had 1 bar on the iPhone 4s and 2 bars on the I pod . I was going throw one wall and was aprox 115 feet  away from  netgear n900 router did several test iPod 4g would get 12-14 Mbps down 3mbps up .IPhone 2-4 mbps down and 1-3 Mbps up.
At close range the iPhone can do my max upload and 30-40 Mbps down
iPod full upload and a 16-24 Mbps down.
My question , does the iPhone sacrifice speed Over range or do I just have a bad wi-Fi antenna.

Seems like this a pretty common issue. You can revert back to 2.2.1, by using Restore in iTunes, it should still be on your computer;
youraccount/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/iPod2,12.2.1_5H11aRestore.ipsw
or do a search on your computer for Restore.ipsw
Do a backup of your ipod, you did this before you installed 3.0 right?
You then need to put your ipod into Device Firmware Update mode or DFU, try this link; http://bit.ly/8pIWL or google DFU mode, there is a you tube video as well.
Hit option & restore in iTunes and choose the 2.2.1 firmware, and let it go through it's process, will take a few minutes.
If you try to just restore it will choose the 3.0 firmware or give you an error.
If this seems to complicated you will have to wait for 3.0.1 which I hope will come out soon.
Good luck

  • Which is better for range and speed of wifi, time capsule A1254 or the new airport express? I don't need the hard drive aspect of the time capsule. Thanks!

    Thanks for any help with this.

    You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
    You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
    As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
    An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it.

    It may have a bad display screen but you could try resetting to see if that helps.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

  • I have an IPAD 2 that I use to view an IP camera over a Wifi network.  The Ipad is in a vehicle that leaves the Wifi range and then returns to the range.  Upon returning to the range, the Ipad has trouble connecting to the network. (30 seconds)

    I have an Ipad 2 that I use to view an IP camera over a Wifi network.  The Ipad is in a vehicle that leaves the Wifi range and then returns to the range.  Upon returning to the range, the Ipad has trouble connecting to the network. (30 seconds)  The Ipad will eventually connect to the network, but by this time the driver is frustrated.  I have moved the antenna to within 20' of where the vehicle comes to a stop.  My Iphone does not have a problem connecting or reconnecting when used side by side with the Ipad.  Both the Ipad and Iphone have Otter box covers.  Has anyone run into this problem or have any suggestions?

    30 seconds to reconnect to a WiFi network is not unusual, especially in an environment where other radio signals on similar frequencies are present.  Sorry about that.
    You might get better times by letting the WiFi base station pick another channel.  But you might not.

    You do a restore as new to wipe the iPhone then at the end of restore you will be asked to restore from backup. Choose your iPhone backup.
    Note you cannot restore an IOS newer than the IOS on iPhone, you need to update iPhone first.

  • TS1398 My ipod touch wont remember my wifi password. Any help?

    Ihave a new ipod touch with the latest software and it will not remember my wifi password. I have to reconnect and renter the password everyday when I come home. My router is a Linksys using WPA2-Personal security with AES encryption. I searched the net but usualy answers are only for iphone or ipad. I saw one that said to reset network settings but that didnt work for me. Any advice?

    I have powered on and off a few times and I did try what ipad and iphone suggestions were applicable but no luck. I was thinking that it was because the router security was changing things to keep unauthorized people out but my laptop never has an issue. I did change the password to an easy one so I could at least enter it everytime alot easier than the long digit one I originally had but it would be nice to have it work correctly....

  • TS1398 My iPod connects with Wi-Fi at home but is no longer connecting with airport or hotel routers. This model is no longer supported by Apple. Is there any way I can boost its ability to pick up Wi-Fi in public places?

    My iPod Touch connects with Wi-Fi at home but is no longer connecting with Wi-Fi at airports or hotels. Is there anything I can do?

    First what you want to do is connect to your wireless connection .
    Click On Settings>WiFi>Turn WiFi ON. Make sure you are connecting to YOUR wireless connection , check what is the name of your ssid(wireless name) on your router.
    Before you connect to your wireless connection check if your connection is secured or not. To do that follow, the steps above once you found your wireless.
    If there is a LOCK image that means your connection is secured, from this point you want to get that WEP or WAP key from your wireless router.
    Connecting to your wireless network with Ipod Touch
    If asked for password enter your WEP or WAP key and click on Join button, wait few moments and then see if you are connected. Test with your safari browser.
    Can't connect to wireless network?
    Few things you can check:
    Did you get an IP address from your wireless router?
    Unplug the power from your router shut down your ipod touch. Plug back in your router first, then wait for 1 minute and then turn on your Ipod Touch.
    with the router been in a cafe airport etc you need to ask them to reset there router
    You are not getting an IP at all?
    Are you sure you are connected to your wireless router?
    Does your router have MAC address filtering On?
    Did you enter correct Password (WEP-WAP key)?
    Few more things to check...
    Does your homepage work?
    Did you try yahoo.com google.com ebay.com etc?
    How about your YouTube do you get any videos?

  • Better WiFi transmit and receive on built-in SR520W antenna...

    All,
    We are using a SR520 with the latest IOS in an home office and also using the built-in WiFi.  What can we do to natively boost the antenna performance so we can walk more than 25 feet away from the SR520?
    Below is the section from the show run for what we have tried for better antenna TX/RX.
    interface Dot11Radio0
    no ip address
    ssid sr520
    speed basic-1.0 2.0 5.5 6.0 9.0 11.0 12.0 18.0 24.0 36.0 48.0 54.0
    station-role root
    antenna receive right
    antenna transmit right
    antenna gain 128
    Please advise.
    Thank you, John

    Hmmmm.  That doesn't seem right at all.
    The wifi analyzer isn't a perfect tool, but it sure helps.  For instance, channels 1, 6, and 11 are the only non-overlapping channels.  We make it a point to always set our APs for clients in one of these 3 channels.  The UC540W installations that we do often have a standard setting of channel 4 for some reason. . .
    In the event that don't have access to a wifi analyzer, you can use your 7921.  Open the toolbox, scroll down to "status", then select "site survey".  It will show you broadcasting SSIDs, channels, and RSSI (signal strength).  You should be seeing somewhere in the neighborhood of -45dB right in front of the SR520W, but it will degrade as you get further away.  Everything should work well until approximately -80dB.  At that point, I think you'll have some problems.  If you click on a specific SSID/channel, you can see more specific info, including a better view of the signal strength.  In this new page you will be able to see something like this:
    RSSI: -30(-43,-26)
    The -30 is the current RSSI, -43 is the lowest that the devices has seen, and the -26 is the highest that the device has seen.  This can be very helpful.
    Best practices include:
    1. Line of Sight works best.  Some materials scatter or absorb 2.4 GHz including wood, metal, etc.  You may notice that as you enter an office where you may be trying to communicate through a huge wooden cupboard that your coverage gets much worse.
    2. Other devices in the 2.4 GHz range can interfere with the signal.  This includes microwaves, cordless phones that operate in the 2.4GHz spectrum, and other devices
    3. Ensure that your antenna is tightly screwed onto the antenna port on the SR520
    Hopefully this helps.  Let me know what you find out.
