Why is my Network so Slow?

IU have a good broadband connection. ADSL guide reports by network as 1.5Mbps download and 700kbps upload. Nothing wrong with that.
If I connect via wireless on my TimeCapsule, it drops to 64kbps download and 200kbps upload.
If I connect to the wireless on the Router directly, I get the faster speed. TimeCapsule is crippling my connection.
The reason I have TimeCapsule set up is that I want to extend it via the 802.11n to a second and third router. Currently, I am only using the main router.
Any ideas?

More than likely you are experiencing RF interference. If you are using 5 GHz 802.11n, try using 2.4 GHz 802.11n instead.
If you are using 802.11g, change the channel until you find a channel which works better or you run out of channels.

Why is the network so slow on one computer? everything freezes! help!

we have three computers all networked together, sometimes 4, and it works really well, until it comes into contact with the one computer. It has the same programs, same spec etc, but if I try to connect to it there are 3 hour waits for a tiny file to transfer, and often just connecting to it means a complete restart of all computers. I've tried switching cables, changing the plug in the wall but no use!
please help ! i'm running around with my ipod trying to move files around !!

Hi Becky;
May I welcome you to the Apple Discussion Forum.
In order to be of any help to you, you are going to have to give us much more information about how these computers are networked together.
For instance are they hard wired or do you use wireless?
What hardware is used to provide the routing and switching functionality for your network?
What operating systems do they all run?
Are they all Apple or is your network a mixture of Apple and Windows.

My Network gets slower with time capsule... why?

I Buy a Time Capsule for only for use it as backup HDD in my work but after i install it and configure it the network gets slower but onli with the machines that have the gateway configured, because the machines that dont have internet connection (no gateway and no DHCP only static ip), they are fast as allways
we use Windows Server enterprise 2008 r2 with ADSL connection and terminal server configured and a network domain on it.
and the machines have windows 7 and xp.
I hope someone know why this happened.
thanks.

And if you don't have luck on the SL forum then I'd recommend posting on the Airport forum. You can find that at:

Why is Bridge CC so slow?

I'm trying to figure out a way to diagnose why Bridge CC is so slow. I regularly use programs like Photoshop, Lightroom and Premiere and don't notice any kind of inapropriate lag or delays at all. However, when working in Bridge it just feels slow. Opening menus occasionally just hangs for seconds on end before dropping down. Thumnails from a gallery I've previously viewed can take upwards of 10 seconds to appear after opening the software. But the most noticeable and repeatable issue comes when trying to select more then one image files. CTR-Clicking a second (or however many additional files) can take anywhere from 5-8 seconds to happen. This, more then anything else, is making bridge unusable.
What should I do?

I just bought a new computer with with Windows 8.1 and plenty of all the hardware that make Adobe CC work great. Unfortunately Bridge had the sluggish slow response that seems to be haunting many people. I read through the adobe support and forums and found a number of good places to look but nothing that outlined a working solution for me. I tried all this http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/troubleshoot-errors-freezes-bridge-windows.html and nothing worked. I was facinated to find people were able to create new account and found the unresponsiveness went away. I also payed close attention to the fact that network drives might cause problems. Not being familiar enough with Windows 8.1 I looked for traditional XP network drives and found that wasn't the problem. But yesterday I realized I have "Libraries" that point to my windows 8.1 laptop and one that pointed to SkyDrive. The settings transfered to my new PC when I used the same login information from my laptop. So I went in to the libraries and removed all the links that went to my laptop and skydrive and Bridge worked perfectly as would be expected on a new PC. So check your libraries. This might also explain why some people found that a new account solved the problem.
Open the "desktop"
Open "file explorer"
Go to the "view" tab
Click on "navigation pane" in the ribbon
Select "show libraries"
Expand "Libraries" in the folder view
Check the path to every folder in the list
Right-click and choose "remove location from library" if anything points to another computer or SkyDrive
Obviously I can't say it's everyone's problem, but it worked for me. I hope it helps someone. Good luck everyone.

Why is my iPad so slow or freezing since the iOS 8.02 update?

Why is my iPad so slow or freezing since the iOS 8.02 update?

Do a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the ipad to boot back up.
If that doesn't help - settings - general - reset - reset network settings - no data loss, however you will need to reenter known wifi passwords.

Why is Safari running so slow under Mountain Lion?

Why is Safari running so slow under Mountain Lion?

I have other mac's on my home network that are still running Snow Leopard and the are performing well. I wanted to use the iCloud so I upgraded and instantly started experiencing the slow down, to the point of ridiculousness. Other function are mixed some normal speed, others a day on the beach with the spinning ball. Firefox is at full speed, good thought, haven't checked Chrome yet.
Last night and hooked into a projection unit that adjusted my screen resolution for a presentation and after the event my Mac reset back to the normal settings and Safari launched and is running normal speeds so far. In the past there have been issues with performance speeds and certain resolutions, has anyone had similar luck or is this a fluke?

Why is my E71 so slow???

Not only has it taken me ABSOLUTELY AGES to register on this forum because the Nokia Support website is so appalling (the register button hasn’t been working for most of the last hour… a clever move by Nokia as it’s the best way to reduce complaints), but my E71 is the worst phone I’ve ever used. I am close to getting a sledge-hammer and really letting the handset know what I think of it. Why is my phone SOOOOO SLOW? It’s absolutely appalling. I was given an E71 for work purposes several months ago and avoided using it until recently as my personal phone (an iPhone) is simply superb. However, I am now doing a lot of foreign travel with work and therefore need to utilise my company’s mobile tariff which means me using the Nokia device. The problem is the E71 is UNUSABLE as from time to time (and there’s no telling when it will decide to work like this), it decides to go into go-slow mode when it take between 30 seconds and 5 minutes for the device to respond to a single key press. What do I do about that? There are so many little graphics on the screen and endless menu options that I have no idea what the problem is and how I adjust the settings to improve its performance. And as I said, it tends to be a little random as to when it goes slow, although it’s normally 90% of the time I use it. Before I have a nervous breakdown please can someone help me figure out how to use it? Thanks in advance.

I did a hard format *#7370# on my E90 - was hoping to get to the source of my constant auto shutdowns. And, of course, after a while, 28-33MB on the C: drive is a bit low. It's now on 122MB (out of 133MB). Works much better.
When you install apps, always choose the memory card E: - where you have a choice.
Also, install docs, images and music files to the memory card.
On the Ovi Store/(Account) Settings, select Memory Card for installation.
Do the same for contacts and messages.
I see you where complaining about login in here. I had the same problem, couldn't login yesterday - login no longer valid. It's working now. Keep in mind that if you joined Nokia Discussions - or any other user-based forum just to complain - not attempt to find a solution - you have already failed.
In concluding, I narrowed done the possible causes of my auto shutdowns to my battery, and SIM card. While typing this, my phone went off twice, so I removed the SIM, typed this on a note, offline mode. Also noted that the same subscriber identity module (32k, about 6 years old) caused the first shutdown of my N70 that I can remember, this morning.
So check your SIM. The network is the problem.
Symbian connected me to the world, to my dreams.. Thank-you Nokia

Impdp over network: sometimes slow

Hello,
I've just made an experience, that impdp over network is sometimes slow and sometimes fast:
My configuration:
I have a "source" database (lets say A), with version 11.2.0.1, and two "destination" databases B (11.2.0.1) and C (11.2.0.3).
The data size is about 100 GB. Import from A into B needes about 4.5 hours, and import from A into C takes about 1.5 hours.
The data which is moved are identical. I've also checked the wait states, and we have found out, that database B makes a lot of log switches
during import, which is the reason, why database B is such slow. On database C there are almost no log switches.
B has log switches frequency about one in 2 seconds. C has aprox. 6 log switches in the first 30 minutes (during DATA load).
That database B has logswitches, and C not let me think about Direct Load versus External Table Load, which is described in the documentation.
But this seems different when using network_link: the trace of the DW process does not support this information (but should, as described in 552424.1).
I think, there are some bugs/features fixed/changed between 11.2.0.1 and 11.2.0.3 regarding load strategy over network_link.
There might be also a chance, that a initial parameter is different between B and C causing to different behavior, but
Does anyone have a similar observation? Does anyone know about this "change"?
Additionals:
The users have all the same grants, the data are exact equal (by FLASHBACK_TIME), remap_schema and remap_tablespace are used at both.
Ulrich

Hello,
Database A is in archive mode, B and C not.
The problem is in the data transfer, not at index generation.
For C, the data transfer is 30 min, Index generation is about 1h.
For B, the data transfer is about 200 min, Index generation in about 1h.
I have one new information: We have switched back after this to dumpfile transfer, and interesting: With dumpfile, the import is done with Direct Path.

Using Windows Network Is Slow

My marketing dept. (Mac Pros) connects to the larger Windows network via ethernet. The actual connections work fine, BUT the transfer of files, searching, opening/saving of files is SLOOOOOOW for the Macs. My IT guy's not sure how to troubleshoot.
Could the issue be a network setting? Maybe a wiring/router problem? I've used my Mac on a PC network before and it was as fast as you would expect.
Thanks for any advice.

Hi
Along with the other suggestion can you resolve DNS for either your local domain or an external one in quick order? Something like:
host -a apple.com
Should return an output similar to this:

In fairly short order. If there's a delay then that could explain why the network is slow. Especially true if internal DNS Services are based around .local. If that's the case (generally true of most Windows Network environments of my experience) then add the .local domain in the Search Domain field. System Prerences > Network > Network Connection > Advanced > DNS.
If it's none of the above look at the physical structure of the network itself. Dodgy patch lead either at your access point or the patch panel itself.
Two things you can eliminate before escalating the problem further.

Network Assistant SLOW Response

We use 3750 edge-switches connected to a 3750 to route the vlans. When we are directly connected to an edge-switch, Network Assistant runs very slow. If we use Network Assistant from a pc located on a different subnet the response is much faster. So why is it so much slower when we are directly connected to the switch we want to view?

Why is my ipad2 really slow after updating to IOS 6.1.2

Try this.
Quit all apps completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Weird: why would a network drive named "time-capsule-de" with an icon of an old-fashioned PC monitor appear on my home network?

Weird: why would a network drive with the name "time-capsule-de" and an icon of an old-fashioned PC monitor suddenly appear on my home network?
It happened shortly after I'd set up a new Time Capsule with our iMac and had transferred the configuration for it over from my old Time Capsule.
I'd just taken the old Time Capsule into another room and powered it up with my MacBook to confirm that Airport Utility's wiping of its settings hadn't affected the old Time Machine backups still stored in it.
I was in the process of tinkering to see how I could use the old Time Capsule, when Airport Utility offered to "extend" my home network, so I tried that setting, and then got a warning that the old Time Capsule and its wifi networks were not yet secure or private. While I was working to fix that, I noticed that in the Finder sidebar and in my Network settings, this mysterious "time-capsule-de" (with an odd old-fashioned PC monitor for an icon) had appeared. I tried to click on it, but could not access it. I also could not eject it. I shut down my old Time Capsule and my MacBook. When I turned the laptop back on, "time-capsule-de" was gone.
What do you all make of that? Should I worry about the security of my home network? I live in an apartment development, so there are more than a dozen stray wifi signals pouring in from other units.
I'd welcome any thoughts or suggestions. Thanks!

What is the name of your old Time Capsule? Did you change the name to the new one?
It appears in Finder .. that is to be expected.. it is after all a network drive.. and it has PC symbol more than likely because you are using Mavericks which defaults to SMB network.. ie the computer thinks it is a windows computer.
There is nothing bad or sinister going on.. but you certainly need to ensure your own wireless network is secure..
That is otherwise all fine.
If the TC shows up again, check that it is also in the airport utility and check its MAC address with the label on the bottom.. It will show in the Utility .. then you can compare and check you are reading the right thing.
