Why do I have two different speed connections with my express?

I have my Airport Express setup. On my MacBook Pro using speedtest, the download connection shows 15.0 mbps, but downloads are only 0.15 mbps...10 times too slow. When I run speedtest on my iPhone 4S attached to same wifi, the download speed only shows 1.5 mbps (Which is a connection speed that I Could expect 0.15 mbps downloads off of). Is there a reason it would give faster connections to some devices?

One general rule is that no two devices will perform exactly the same, regardless of similar network conditions.
Speedtest attempts to give you an instantaneous average speed between one of their servers and your network device. This calculation is based on data traveling over multiple media paths. In almost all cases, the download/upload speeds (provided by your ISP) is far slower than the speeds possible on your local network.
The Internet speed is basically controlled by two factors: 1) The current condition of the Internet, and 2) What your ISP is providing you ... and unless you are getting business-grade service, what your ISP provides you is not guarenteed.
You local network speed is something that you have more control of. For example, your MBP is most likely capable of connecting to 802.11n wireless networks on either the 2.4 or 5 GHz radio bands. The latter offers bandwidth speeds in excess of 400 Mbps. Your iPhone, on the other hand, can access 802.11n networks, but only on the 2.4 GHz band. Typical bandwidth for this band is 130 Mbps.

  • My two iMacs frequently go offline when I have our iPad and two iPhones-5 connected with Airport Express (2nd edition). If I disable WiFi on my three "i" devices no problem. Any thoughts on this?

    My two iMacs frequently go offline when I have my iPad and two iPhones-5 connected with Airport Express (2nd edition). If I disable WiFi on my three "i" devices the offline problem stops. Any thoughts on this?

    .....doesn't that seems to suggest the modem?
    That is what I have suggested....twice now. From posts above:
    My opinion would be that it is likely not the ISP, unless you have complete loss of Internet service for all devices at the same time......it is the Comtrend device....
    and
    I believe that the problem lies with the modem, and not the ISP signal.
    Your ISP will likely have a different opinion, though. Please keep us posted on your progress.

  • I have two different 5s's with two different phone numbers but they are both using the same iCloud/apple account. After upgrading to iOS8 when I get a phone call on one phone both phones ring.

    I have two different 5s's with two different phone numbers but they are both using the same iCloud/apple account. After upgrading to iOS8 when I get a phone call on one phone both phones ring. One phone is for work and one is for private and I don't need both phones to ring from one call. It's bizarre.......is this supposed to be like this? If so where can I turn it off?? And while we are at it iOS8 has installed iBooks on both of my phones and iTunes won't let me uninstall it. I don't need or want iBooks on my phones.

    Hi,
    There are two easy fixes to this.
    One, you can set up Family Sharing, in which you can have two different iCloud Accounts, yet still share the same apps, music, media etc.
    Two, go to Settings and turn-off "Handoff". This can be found under the General page.
    Hope this helps!

  • Why do I have two title bars - one with the title of the page I'm looking at and another with the new orange drop down menu? Plus I can't get FF4 to save my tabs, even when I go to about:config, why is that?

    I downloaded FF4, thinking that it would merely update from my previous installation, but all my tabs were gone. FF looks really weird - here is a link to a picture of it: http://tinypic.com/r/2mwdus4/7 - I have two title bars, my bookmarks toolbar is missing and the tabs are on the bottom. If I go to view => toolbars and click one of them, suddenly the second title bar (with the orange menu) disappers and my bookmarks toolbar comes back (even if I don't click on it in "view"). I can't get the browser to remember my tabs between sessions even though I set it to remember them in my settings. I even changed the browser.showQuitWarning to true in about:config, but it didn't work. What is going on?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Is it Possible to have two different VOIP providers with Airport Extreme?

    I am moving to new location and want to discontinue my POTS phone line. I will have Time Warner VOIP cable modem for one telephone line and would like to add my old Vonage VOIP telephone appliance so I can keep that old number. I currently have cable modem to Vonage appliance to telephone and Vonage appliance to Airport Extreme base station. TWC tells me I have to connect the Vonage device to AEB. Vonage tells me I have to connect the Vonage device to a TWC modem router. TWC says they don't have a modem router.
    I also connect two TiVos wirelessly through the AEB. Any advice on how I can proceed?
    Thanks.

    I run the Time Warner VOIP off the Time Warner modem and the Vonage VOIP unit off my Airport Extreme Base Station which is, of course, downline from the Time Warner modem. No problems at all.

  • Is it possible to have two different DIO such as DIO 0 and DIO 8 to control 1 LED provided both DIOs are both true?

    is it possible to have two different DIO such as DIO 0 and DIO 8 to control 1 LED provided both DIOs are both true? If so, how do we connect the 2 IOs tothe LED? 

    Why use two DIO lines?  If they aren't doing anything else, just AND the signals in software and just use 1 output.

  • I have two different itunes music files on my computer.  How do I combine them into one file?

    I have two different itunes music files on my computer.  How do I combine them into one file?

    I don't think so. The only other ID I have is a developer id, and I didn't get that until several months after I got the phone. In addition purchases I made from the App Store onthe phone would sync up with It unes on the Mac meaning it would be the same id.
    However I looked at the AppStore on my phone while it was connected to the Mac with iTunes open, and now the balance has changed to the same as the others.

  • How to add two different database connections on Model

    Hi,
    In my application, I need to create View Objects on different databases. So I need to add two different database connections on the Model.
    But it seems like Model can be connected to only one database. I tried adding another project to add the second db connection. But after I created a read-only View Object in the second project, it didn't generate corresponding data control in the Data Controls panel.
    Could anyone help me on this?
    Thanks!

    Do you mean adding the second project folder in ViewController->Project Properties->Libraries and Classpath?Yes, either that or: ViewController -> Project Properties -> Dependencies
    And I didn't see the first Model project in the ViewController classpath. Otherwise it wouldn't work. The first model project IS in 'classpath'. Here's how:
    ViewController -> Project Properties -> Dependencies
    I tried this and recreated the View Object. Still didn't generate the datacontrol. No idea why you had to recreate the VO.
    Is your VO in an application module inside the SECOND project?
    After you are sure that everything is in the ViewController's classpath, just try restarting JDeveloper.
    This is very basic. has to work.

  • I own a 13-inch MacBook Pro and for the past day, my wifi on my laptop says I only have two bars of connection and is running very slow,but all of my other devices such as my iPhone and iPad are connecting perfectly to the wifi. How can I fix this? Thanks

    I own a 13-inch MacBook Pro and for the past day, my wifi on my laptop says I only have two bars of connection and is running very slow,but all of my other devices such as my iPhone and iPad are connecting perfectly to the wifi. How can I fix this? I have tried to shut my laptop off and let it rest and I have also re-started my wifi router three different times. Someone please help me with this problem so I can begin to use my laptop again as I take it to school and use it for class.
    Thanks so much!

    FCP, and all software on OSX, has a few different "preference" files (the extension is .plist), which store all your user settings. Each time you resize a window, change a setting, anything, this file is re-written. Kinda easy to see how they would become corrupt every now and then.
    -Close FCP
    -Navigate to User>Library>Preferences and delete com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
    -Navigate to User>Library>Preferences>Final Cut Pro User Data and delete Final Cut Pro 5.0 Prefs
    -Empty your trash
    Relaunch FCP and see if that worked.
    Download FCP Rescue to make this process easier in the future. When you have FCP running really smooth, open FCP Rescue and create a backup of your preference files. If it starts acting wanky, just run FCP Rescue and Restore your backup preferences. Works really slick, and it's free.
    EDIT: Or use the really simple explaination that X posted as I was typing.

  • Why do I have 2 different Apple ID's

    Why do I have 2 different Apple ID's?  And can I combine them to 1?
    My iphone has an @me.com user account
    My ipad has an @yahoo.com user account
    I would like both to use the yahoo account
    Thanks!

    "Why do I have 2 different Apple ID's? "
    Only you would know why you created two id's.
    "And can I combine them to 1?"
    No.
    "I would like both to use the yahoo account"
    Then use that account on both devices.
