Wifi internet too slow vpn

i have vpn client software installed. When the client software is NOT running, my internet is "dial-up" slow. When vpn is enabled and i am connected, internet runs at normal speeds.
i find this is usually the opposite of what happens. this happens at all locations, not just my house. i am quick to blame the vpn client. but not sure how it could be affecting me if the program is quit. thanks for the help

thanks for the reply. im using VPN tracker 5 from equinux. I checked the processes app but nothing that would lead me to think it was looking for the vpn stuff.

Internet too slow and erratic to update software

I have had an iMac G5 at home for about one year. The problem is my internet connection (DSL) is too slow and erratic to download files bigger than 10 mb. Can I get software updates on a CD? Or is there another way to get those downloaded files? Zipped, maybe?

Hi & a warm welcome to the forums!
Quite often getting them direct is far better than SU, this works on my Dialup asccount most times...

HT4718 Can't download "aditional components" from recovery. Internet too slow. What do I do now?

Hello,
I am overseas for a month and I had to erase my hard drive and do a fresh install of OSX Lion.
I erased my drive and all went fine. Now I am trying to reinstall the OS from the COMMAND+R menu. The problem is my internet connection here is too slow for the "aditional components" and it ends of hanging on 9 hours or something and then just says it failed to download the aditional components. I now it isn't a hardware issue because I have done this before while I was in the states with a fast conection and it worked both times I have reinstalled the OS.
I was wondering how large is the "aditional components"?
What is the point of the Recovery HD if I need to download the recovery from the internet anyway?
Who was the genius that made the decision to eliminate the install CDS? Espceically when were overpaying for these machines. And what made this genius assume that every one has access to fast internet speeds?
Thank you,

And what made this genius assume that every one has access to fast internet speeds?
Requirements for reinstalling OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion
Reinstalling OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion via OS X Recovery requires broadband access to the Internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the Internet from Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation.

Macbok air 2012 wifi is too slow

i need help

If you are using any bluetooth device whether its with your phone or laptop, it may be causing wifi interference which probably is causing your wifi to be slow. I suggest shutting off all bluetooth devices. Also, if your router is not up to date as in doesnt support wireless n or ac, you probably should consider a new router.

Wifi is too slow

I recently bought iphone 5, 32 gb. Everything is going just fine except wifi speed. I am also using samsung galaxy s2. Wifi speed of iphone is drastically slow as compared to s2. I am not able to view trailors of movies as well as you tube. please help

hey
luvlabs is right - at least in my case
I have a mac hard wired and get 10mb up and 1 mb down, as I should, so the router is fine for ethernet connected devices
my ipad is on 4.3.3 and thats fine using speedtest.net app, 10 and 1
my iphone is on 4.3.3 and is getting 0.24 up and 0.21 down - terrible
my wife's iphone is on 4.3.2 and is getting 9 and 1 - so no problem with my router with wifi either. haven't upgraded her yet.
I did what luvlabs suggested and reset my network settings, rebooted, and put the wifi settings back in again. I'm now getting 9 and 1 on my phone on 4.3.3
so mine is fixed. I'll upgrade my wifes and see if it breaks again. anyway, fix for me is:
>2. Reset your network settings - tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
>3. After your iPhone restarts, tap Settings > WiFi > Other and re-enter your network name, security, and network password.
using virgin media 10mb feed, and a netgear router B/G only. all tested done sunday morning at 8am ish, and used the speedtest.net app or website. Either London or Maidstone server.
hope this helps!

Lenovo g505s wifi far too slow

I was wondering if i could get some help as i'm going out of my mind with this laptop. Ever since i bought it (over a year ago) i have been struggling with wifi. The inbuilt wifi is about as useful as a wet paper bag, it will disconnect periodically and barely get above 1mb download (i have a 100mb package). I figured i would try it with a USB dongle, but even with that i barely get above 4mb, i can load sites faster on my phone than i can on my laptop. Normally I would take it back and never touch a lenovo again, unfortunatley my waranty period has expired after being unable to use the laptop for nearly a year due to family troubles. With the release of Windows 10 and updates to the wifi I thought i'd give it another chance. Installed Win10 and all new drivers, and once again 1mb with laptop wifi, 4mb with usb dongle. So can anyone please help me with this god awful wifi before i tear my hear out and throw the laptop in the bin? Thanks. Frustrated Robeus.

No one? I'd sell the laptop but dont know who'd buy it with such a terrible internet. Would really like some help, dont want to have wasted £300.

New wifi iPad too slow?

How to determine if faulty?

What makes you think it's slow? Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

Iwork documents loading too slow local wifi without internet

Our school has a few ssid for local wifi and I am using my ipad for mirroring with apple tv and my ssid has no internet connection. When I try to open any iwork document it is loading too slow. If I turn off wifi or if I connect internet, it is faster.

It is perfectly normal on wifi networks that have smart content filtering. School network, while not slow by itself, has special filtering programs that check your downloads for specific words, sites, images and slow down your connection by doing that.

Retina Macbook Pro wifi too slow at home, other devices are fine though

I bought Retina macbook Pro 15inch couple months ago.
The internet speed seems ok at school, but when at home it is too slow that I can't do anything at all.
But my other devices like iphone/ ipad works great and has fast internet.
So I upgraded internet service, from 15mb speed to 30,
but it still is slow.
I turned off the bluetooth, and seemed like it help tiny bit with the speed but I can't have anything done with this speed.
Do I need to buy a new modem / router?
Thank you for the hlep in advance.

Hold down the Option key and click on the WiFi Icon on the menuBar.
This will reveal all sorts of information about your Network and what is around you.
Look for what channel your Router is on. See if any other Routers are trying to use the same channel.
Look for the transmit level, something like -75.
Look for the transmit rate.

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.

Internet connection too slow, is there a way to speed up the itouch?

So I can connect to Facetime, but all I see is a picture of a person and then the Itouch freezes and shuts down. I think it is because my internet connection is too slow, because it only doesn't work in my apartment (it works at places with quicker connections).
The question is, is there currently a fix to this problem (I can't be the only one who has it)? It all works, just freezes after connecting and showing the picture of the person I'm talking to then disconnects. Is there a way to make this work?
I'm at college and the only reason I got the 4g from my parents is 'cause they wanted me to help my little bro with homework back home... but if Facetime doesn't work at college then I should sell mine and go with a cheaper, earlier generation. Thanks!

By what type of security I mean, WEP (not preferred), WPA, WPAs. I would go to the support page for you router on the manufacturer's sit to see if an update to the firmware is available. You also have to enter the setup for the router to determine the installed version of the firmware. Not infrequently a firmware update fixes problems since that is one purpose of the updates.

HT1338 I need to update to Lion and then Mountain Lion, but I need a CD or other means to update as my internet is too slow and I have a GB limit. Is this possible?

Thanks for your response. I was told, obviously misinformed, that you needed to dl Lion prior to Mountain Lion, so thanks for clarifying that. I cannot dl from the internet as it is too slow and I have limited GB per month. I know, at one point, you could purchase a jumpdrive with Lion for those of us who have this problem or no internet access. I will check into that via Apple or try to borrow internet service from a friend and move my computer there.
Thanks again.

I have an ipad3(wifi cellular). Now i want to upgrade my iOS5.1 to ios 7. But download speed in our country is too slow(100kbps). It can be disconnected anytime. Is there any problem if net connection get disconnected while upgrading ios? Please ans me.

haha, so now i'm thinking. I'm learning the terminal as fast as i can but there are several lines of codes and commands in there that throws up red flags to me that i don't fully understand. It just looks fishy too me. It would be highly appreciated if someone could just check this out just to tell me that i don't need to worry about it. Or point me in the right direction. I just feel un easy about this. ha.

Bluetooth slows down wifi internet connectiom

i just bought a magic mouse that uses bluetooth but when i turn on bluetooth on my imac my internet connection slows down, way....down my question is what do you do so that the bluetooth do not intervere my wifi signal...realy need your advise cause my old cable mouse is broken and without a mouse i can't control my computer....thanks

You could try changing the channel that your wi-fi uses for creating the LAN. You would need to do this in your router configuration.
