Very slow wifi with security on network iP4

Hi just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I decided a couple of weeks ago to put a password on our network to stop strangers from using it. Since then I have been struggling to download large files and the smaller ones are taking much longer than they should. My husband has a 3gs so I tried to download the same files on his phone and they flew down. Now the only way I can find to fix this is to remove the security but this is not ideal. I have tried wpa/wpa 2, does anyone have any ideas of what I can try next?
Thanks

One side effect of WEP (and WPA) is that it reduces the speed of your wireless connection because more information has to be included with each transmitted packet. Depending on the encryption and size of the encryption key, it can slow down the connection quite a bit. With the iphone, it seems to work best using WPA2. Try using a key no longer than 8 alpha/numeric characters.

Slow wifi with Ralink rt3290 network adapter

I formated my laptop and installed win 7 x64 once again.My wifi was fine before but now I have installed all the drivers from HP support and my wifi speed is very slow although other laptops in my house have normal speed (about 10 times faster).I have a Ralink rt3290 adapter with driver version 5.0.45.0, I have tried to uninstall and install all the possible driver versions with no success.I tried all the forums I could find and did DNS flushing and such, the router is configured fine and is not too far or too close to my laptop.If I connect with ethernet cable my speed gets to about 80mps, when on wifi I get 5mps and on the other laptop I get 40mps.I really don't know what to do and I don't think that the adapter itself is broken.Can someone please help me?? Thank you,John

Yes there are older ones, but it sure seems odd that the older you go back the better they work... I am going to give you a link with revision histories of the drivers. Try any of them you want...I would start with 5.0.5.0 http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=5229456&swItemId=ob_113862_1&swEnvOid=4059#tab-history I would also check to make sure the wireless card antennas are securely fastened to the wireless card. There are rare circumstances where one of the antennas are not securely fastened to the card during assembly and that causes all kinds of issues, needless to say.

Very slow connection with Mifi 4510L??

I'm hoping someone here can give some guidance. I am having very slow connection with the 4510L we just got. Via test on speedtest.net I'm seeing download speed of .17 MBPS at times it was so slow the test was not completing. I normally have 1 or 2 bars on the mifi unit and have seen up to 3 at times. I drove into town and see the same range (1 to 3 bars). I have yet to see the 4G light come on except for prior to activation (would light solid green at times) since activating I have only seen the violet light for 3G.
Verizon advertises full service both around our city (Richmond, VA) and at my more remote location in Hanover. I have been through the recommended resets and nothing seems to improve the connection speed. Could the unit itself be defective? Also, I've noticed when I go to a location website it thinks I am in Pennsylvania when I am in Virginia. Could the Mifi be trying to connect to a signal in that location for some reason (was refurbished device)
Thanks for any help you can offer,
Brian

I was having problems but upgrading to 2.28 seems to have helped me in addition to a few other changes I made based on this review of the 4510L
http://www.anandtech.com/show/4500/novatel-wireless-mifi-4510l-review-the-best-4g-lte-wifi-hotspot/4
1) "selecting WPA2 Personal/PSK (AES)"
2) "manually selecting a channel (instead of Auto) fixes almost all the instability problems"
(I'm not sure if it actually worked as the diagnostics always shows channel 0 no matter what I picked. I did try a couple before one - or the myriad of other things I tried - seemed to make a difference - at least for now - fingers crossed)
3) "allowing for one to select between each network mode manually, so you can force 4G LTE, EVDO, 1xRTT, or all of the above. This is incredibly useful if you’re right at the cutoff for 4G LTE SINR" (that's WWAN Preferred Mode LTE only for me)
4) I also changed my 802.11 Mode to just one mode that works on both computers at my house
5) I am also careful to turn it off when I am done with it and take it off the charger for the night as well.
It is my only internet service due to my semiremote location (no cable etc) and when I first got it as a replacement for my dependable 2200 I was about to pull all my hair out. I was "forced" into it because due to antenna issues on a local tower that supplies my 3G signal my 2200 wasn't even able to load my gmail account. Verizon very helpful on that - call us if its still an issue in a "few weeks"! However, when I inquired about the antenna's effect on a 4G signal, an intelligent tech was able to tell me that it was not the tower I would be getting a 4G signal off of - odd but I didn't question that possibility.
It runs very very warm but I suspect having it on the charger and using it almost all day is part of that. At first I was wondering if heat was part of the problem - going so far as to have it sitting on an ice pack to test that theory. Of course then I had to wonder if maybe I was freezing it -lol. I am careful to turn it off when I am done with it and take it off the charger for the night as well.
I've been on it most of the day and it seems to be behaving well - so fingers crossed

Very slow working with eps files over new network

Please help!!!
Our IT has recently upgraded us from a OSX server to a 2 Terabyte SNAP SERVER 520.
I am using the only INTEL Mac in the department (we have another 10+ G5 PPCs running 10.4), and the only one using OSX 10.5. Since changing to the new server, I am also the only one with several file saving/opening issues.
I believe this is a network issue.
It is with mostly ADOBE products and we all know they will not support, working over the network. Due to the volume of files, I simply cannot drag files to my HD, and work locally. It is not practical. I also know that we have not had any issues in the past, and don't see why I can't get to the root of the problem.
**The most obvious issue is Illustrator .eps files.**
I can open and save .ai files in good time both locally, and over the network. There is no difference either way. HOWEVER, if it is an .eps file working over the network is not practical. I get the spinning wheel for about 2 minutes each time I open, save, or make a change. It is VERY slow. Working on eps files locally is fine (about the same speed as .ai files), but as soon as it hits the server, it is painfully slow to do anything.
Additionally, when saving Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign AND Quark 7 files (direct to the network), I am regularly getting "Could not save because write access was not granted", or "Could not save becasue unexpected end-of-file was encountered", or "Could not save because the file is already in use or as left open" type errors.
I simply then click 'OK', and then hit save again, and it either gives me the same message, or it goes into 'save as' mode which lets me save the file (same name, and same location, but the original file has disappeared).
I am connected to the server IP address through afp:// but have also tried cifs://. IT have removed all access to the server through smb://, so I cannot try this.
ANY help is appreciated.

With regard to the EPS issue, I think I may have found the source of the problem for SMB users: the Suitcase Fusion plug-in.
Did you make any progress on these issues?

2.4GHZ clients very slow speeds with AP3600

5508 WLC (7.5.102)
AP36021
We currently have a test WiFi SSID setup that uses basic mac filtering on our WLC's
WLAN is configured with WPA and WPA2 L2 Security with WPA Policy and WPA2 Encryption.
For some reason we seem to be getting very slow speeds on clients with 2.4GHZ
for example speedtest.net I get 70mg upload and 65mg download on 5GHZ devices and about 1-3mg download and 1mg upload for 2.4GZ devices!
AP36021 are dual band with 4 channels (2 x 2.4Ghz and 2 x 5Ghz)
fyi - There are no dropped packets on the client stats via Prime mgmt that use 2.4GHZ
Any ideas here?

Very slow wifi connection on my MBP

I'm having problems with my wifi connection on my MBP. My iPad, iPhone and iPod all work absolutely fine but for some reason I have a very slow connection on the MBP. If I connect it to the router with a wire it's fine so it's definitely the wifi.
The only other thing that's changed recently is our Internet package. But this hasn't effected any of my other devices and we actually upgraded our package so I think that's coincidental.
Is it a known problem with MBPs? Should I take it to the genius bar or is there a simple solution.
Thanks in advance

thanks for the tip. unfortunately, removing the security from the router isn't an option as it isn't even my router (my roommate owns it and would never allow that to happen).
the thing that is perplexing is that it hasn't always been slow - this just started happening within the last two weeks. one could assume that if one computer experiences a slow internet connection, the other would as well if they are both going through the same router. secondly, the connection strength, despite it being slow, is at the maximum. finally, if i connect to any other network at school or coffee shop, the connection is fast. there's obviouly something specific to my MBP and the router that the computer doesn't like, which is causing the lag.
maybe my MBP doesn't like the channel that the router is set to. i'll look into getting it switched as it may be the root of the problem.

Brand new Macbook Pro 10.8.2 very slow wifi

All of my other wireless devices are very quick on my home wifi. I am using a macbook pro, 2.5 GHz i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3.
I have installed all updates, tried making a new network location, still very slow. 8 hours to download a 4.6 GB app from the store. My 06 iMac will download files this size in minutes and it's still running pre snow leopard OSX. Anyone know whats going on here? I'm very disappointed so far. Hope there is a fix.

My new 2013 MacBook Pro 13" retina had same WiFi issue. Please go to this Website and follow the instructions to change your router's settings. http://www.s0hel.com/blog/401/fixed-slow-wifi-issue-with-new-macbook-pro/
Yesterday I changed my router's settings and now I don't see any WiFi issues.
I hope this works for you.

Apple TV song streaming interrupted, very slow sync with keynote

When I try to play a song or a playlist from iphone (4S and 5) or ipad (mini) via Airplay on Apple Tv, the music is interrupted several times, sometimes the first track, sometimes after 3 track, no rules. Wifi signal is good.
Other issue with Keynote on the iPad. I am trying to mirror a deck but it is very slow, I have to wait 2 to 3 sec between each slide
can someone help me?
thank you

Thanks for the reply. I used iStumbler on the MacBook Pro and could see three other networks besides my own, and they were all on Channel 11. Mine is on Channel 6 and, given there's no overlap between channels that are separated by 5 channels or more, there should be no interference.
However, the Apple TV reports more channels than iStumbler does and there's no way to know what channel they're on. (Hmmmm, maybe I should move the Mac to the vicinity of the ATV 2.)
However, my local network is involved when the MacBook Pro connects to the internet - I'm using Wi-Fi, not Ethernet - so, if the MacBook Pro can upload at 1MB/sec. to the internet (and that's throttled), why is it uploading at 50-100KB/sec. to the ATV 2?

Iphone 3G gets very slow wifi specially on YouTube

Im having a very strange problem - I seem to be getting very slow internet speeds on my iphone when connected thru wifi - m laptop is on the same network and it goes blazingly fast however my iphone takes almost as much time as it does on edge networks - the youtube loading is so slow that its just not watchable from my iphone - however the same video loads at super speed on my laptop
Ive tried changing the setting from b/g to only b - but it still makes no difference.
If anyone has the same problem or if anyone knows how to help please let me know

Also having exactly the same problem, very low speed with Youtube. I'm using my Iphone 3G with Frtitz! box fon wlan 7140 router and have Internet from Inode Austria. When using my Dell laptop, everything works O.K.

First you need to get rid of all the malware on your computer starting with Genieo. Also, get rid of:

Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, AdwareMedic, or Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support.
Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

Just bought a Macbook pro 17" 2.16 with 2gb ram and 500gb 5400 HD. IT RUNS VERY SLOW, even with fresh install of X 10.6, what do I do?

So I just bought a great condition Macbook pro 17" with 2gb of ram, and the last owner upgraded the HD to a 500gb toshiba 5400rpm HD....the computer is VERY slow....when loading up anything it take forever, and watching video's freezes it for a few seconds then starts for a 1-3 seconds then freezes again....what can I do? I really like the laptop, but hate the performance...and I don't want to go buy another one....but I have considered a SSD....any idea's before I do that?
Thanks.

How much hard drive space do you have left?
Sluggish Finder - Bunch of icons on your desktop? An overcrowded desktop slows down your Mac.
Get rid of needless Finder calculations - Open a window in Finder/View/Show View Options: ensure "Calculate All Sizes" option is unchecked.
Internet related - It's likely that your broadband connection is the bottleneck. You can check your speed on http://www.speedtest.net to see how fast your connection is. If your web browser specifically performs slowly, quit and relaunch it.
If browser remains sluggish, empty its cache.
Safari/Empty Cache
Firefox/Preferences - select the Network tab of the Advanced preferences and click the "Clear Now" button in the "Offline Storage" area.
Application related - Launch "Activity Monitor" - Applications/Utilities - click the CPU heading and see what float to the top. If an application takes up a large chunk of CPU and won't let it go, it could be dragging down your Mac's performance. Quit it by clicking the Quit Process button at the top of the Activity Monitor window.

Snow Leopard running very slow after Apple security update 10-05

I installed the security update that came out Tuesday 8/24. After restarting I noticed that both my browsers (Safari 5.1 and Firefox 3.8) were running so slow they would time out before loading a webpage. Also my VLC media player was very slow to start streaming audio.
I think there's something wrong with my iMac 2.8 Ghz (Model 8,1) related to the security update. This is the first problem I've had with the in months. I had to post this note using a PC.
Help!

After restarting the iMac, everything is running as fast as usual. It must have needed an extra shut down and start up.

VERY VERY SLOW WIFI PRINTING

I'm experiencing a very very slow printing of any complex document (1-2 mega spooling file).

Hello ,
Thanks for posting in the HP Forums!
I'd like to help you with the slow printing that you are experiencing when printing more complex files to your HP LaserJet M276nw Printer wirelessly from your Mac 10.9 computer. Generally, the larger/more complex the file, the longer it will take to process, transmit over your network, and print. However, if it is printing extremely slow, I have a few suggestions that may correct this for you. First, you'll want to make sure you have the full feature software installed for this model. If you haven't installed the software previously you can download it here - HP LaserJet Pro 200 Color M276 Full Feature Software and Drivers. Once the software is installed, follow these steps to add your printer to you Mac (ensuring that you're using the proper driver): Click the Apple icon on your Menu Bar.Select System Preferences.Select Printers and Scanners.Select your printer and then press the (-) button at the bottom of the list to remove it.Select the (+) and click Add Printers and Scanners. (NOTE: Do not select the printer from the list of Nearby printers as this will often automatically use the AirPrint driver)Select your printer (the one that shows Bonjour Multifunction under "Kind").At the bottom of the window under Use: does it say AirPrint? If so, click the drop down and you should see a specific driver for the printer. Click Add.Try printing your document again, and let me know the result.Please respond to let me know if we have resolved the issue!

Very slow scrolling with CS5

I don't know if other people also have this problem, but I noticed an issue which makes Photoshop CS5 completely useless for me: It is scrolling incredibly slow. With CS4 I am able to scroll much faster and with different speeds. In CS5 it seems like the speed is limited. No matter how much I scroll with my mouse, Photoshop keeps scrolling at the same speed.
It seems like it is not only me: The only website concerning this problem I was able to find is:
http://macperformanceguide.com/OptimizingPhotoshopCS5-Issues.html
Unacceptable scrolling speed with center button
I use the scroll wheel in the center of the Apple mouse constantly. In CS5, this functionality is now broken, because CS5 scrolls only a small amount, very different from CS4. There is no apparent work-around.
Reader Joe N agrees:
I saw your posting about CS5 issues, and I want to add another STRONG vote for the Photoshop mouse wheel scrolling speed issue. I use a Magic Mouse, and the scrolling speed is so poor in PS CS5 that it is totally blocking my creative flow. I have scoured the web for a solution and have not found anything yet...
I also use a Magic Mouse and a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. Is there any hope of a fix or a workaround?

Thanks so much for replying, Chris. I've just started using CS5 and only used CS4 for a couple of weeks. There are so many variables. and I don't think it's just Photoshop. I'm wondering if the same problems happen in windows 7 (I switched to the Mac the last time I bought a computer.) Probably it's just that everything gets more complicated along with the improvements. : -(
Thanks again,
Peggy
