why is the WIFI so slow on my 2011 MBP? its getting frustrating

Hi Jeff,
Can you elaborate on your issue a bit further. What is "slow" in your approximation? Tell us about the environment you're in, what type of router, band and channel. How many other wireless routers does your machine pick up? Is it slow other places with wireless or just this current location? New issue, ongoing?

  • HT4528 Why is the WiFi and browser so slow on iPhone 5?

    Why is the WiFi and browser so slow on iPhone 5?  I've noticed they are not as quick as other smart phones and have seen this brought up in forums.  Also, the WiFi was slow with my iPhone 4 anyone know what the deal is?
    Thanks in advance

    Sadly that spiffy reply was of no use.  Browser is so slow and in looking at 3 different iPhones I have noticed there is a serious wait for any simple page to come up like MSN maybe its the iOS maybe Safari maybe should reset daily.  Truly not impressed Apple can you here us now?  Probably not... to busy restarting or resetting.
    Truly hope it improves in a hurry.

  • Why is the wifi reception on my iPhone 5 so poor. I'm not talking about in my own home with my own router. I'm talking about AT

    Why is the wifi reception on my iPhone 5 so poor. I'm not talking about in my own home with my own router. I'm talking about AT&T hotspots, public hotspots, etc. I can hold my 3GS and my 5 side by side, the 3GS picks up more signals with more strength. The 5 seems to have a weaker wireless network than its predecessors. It's very frustrating because I can be 20 feet from a wireless router, and still only show 2 bars, if I don't end up losing the connection. What gives??

    I've done the resets...no real help at all.  Im Also on my 2nd iPhone 5. The first was replaced because of a faulty external speaker module. Both phones wifi reception pretty much suck. ESPECIALLY if the case is on. I'll luck out a little bit by taking the case off...but not much.

  • How many miters is the iphone wifi and why dosnt the wifi atchive long rang networks

    how many miters is the iphone wifi and why dosnt the wifi atchive long rang networks

    I don't understand your question at all. I think you are asking what the range is for WiFi on an iPhone. It meets the WiFi standard, which is 40 meters if there are no obstructions, much less if there is anything at all between the phone and the router. My iPhone meets the standard.

    What model of Mac?  I have a MBP running 10.7.3 and do not have that issue.  From the other couple of posts I've seen about it, it seems to be maybe an issue with some iMacs?  Have your tried searching the Lion or iMac forums for similar issues, just to see if anyone has hit on why it is happening?

    Next step would be setting it up a new device without using the latest backup, in case it contains corrupt data causing your problem.

    I am having Macbook Pro, I have recently tried updating my operating system to OS Yosemite, but after that its giving problem in connecting to Wifi. The error is "Connection Time out Occurred". Its getting connected by Ethernet cable.

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Some of these steps are only possible if you have control over the wireless router.
    Step 1
    Turn Wi-Fi off and back on.
    Step 2
    Restart the router and the computer. Many problems are solved that way.
    Step 3
    Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
    Step 4
    Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
    Step 5
    In OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and fix the issues listed in the Summary, if any.
    Step 6
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
    Step 7
    You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
    Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    Potential sources of interference
    Step 8
    Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
    Step 9
    Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).

    I remember that with Snow Leopard you could download them from the Apple website.
    Cheers!

    Read the Boot Camp Documentation while you run Boot Camp Assistant to download the Windows Support Software which was the first step in the Boot Camp Setup procedure.

    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.

  • Why is the library so slow to upload to iCloud?

    Hi there,
    After a bit of hassle getting Photos to accept all my pictures from iPhoto I thought it was all fixed and ready to go to cloud storage so that I can have the same library on iMac, Macbook Pro and my iPhone.
    My photo library isn't that big, about 40Gb (4607 items) but it seems to be taking forever to upload to iCloud.
    My broadband speed isn't great (Around 6.5 MBPS download and around 0.7MBPS upload) but after several days my Photo library states that it is uploading 4570 items. When i try to run photos from my macbook there are only a few photos on there.
    At this rate I'll probably die of old age before all the photos are in the cloud and bounced back onto my macbook & phone.
    Other than slow broadband speed and apple being busy with people like me uploading, are there any other reasons why this is taking so much time? Bad settings anywhere?
    As another example my iMac has been on for a couple of hours today and the Activity monitor states that 887.2MB has been sent to the cloud. That's pretty damm slow isn't it?
    Thanks

    Why is my finder so slow to update. For example, if I
    download a file (using Safari), I can't find it on
    the desktop. If I use Find at the Finder level, it
    says it's there, but I can't see it.
    Same thing happens with Mail, trying to attach a PDF
    I just made. Mail can't see it.
    I love all the wondrous glitz of OSX, but wouldn't it
    be nice if it could do the basic stuff as well as
    System 6? At the rate Apple's going, we'll probably
    get a breathless announcement about a spanking-new OS
    called Snail, which doesn't do anything but look
    pretty.
    Stu,
    Did you ever get an answer to this? My finder is pathetically slow to update, a minor irritation a dozen times a day. System 9 never had this problem. Is there a way to get my expensive computer to do this simple task? Is there any news on this?
    thanks,
