Wifi is extremely SLOW

I'm not sure what's going on. My wifi is extremely slow. I know it's not the network, I have a PC hooked up via ethernet and it runs fast/normal. I also have a NAS on it, and the drives are mounted, sometimes. Often, it'll fail to make a connection to them. Again, the NAS shows up fine on the PC. I'm not sure why my macbook pro has such slow wifi; my previous mac ran fine and I haven't tinkered with anything in the network.

I have two routers both work fine. Only thing that has issues is the GS60 and GS70
Updating firmware can solve/improve the compatibility issue.
Quote from: Rostan;108706
This guy is in the process of trouble shooting an issue with the Drivers and has not found a solution so there is nothing useful from this.
Changing wifi connection to 802.11a/5GHz band can improve the download speed. I'd give that a try.
The last issue he has is that his home router doesn't support 802.11a.

  • IPhone 4S and iPad 4 WiFi is extremely slow

    Over the last month, the WiFi connection on my iPhone 4S and iPad 4 has been extremely slow. The iPhone and iPad cannot seem to get speeds faster than .5 - 1.3 Mbps. Yet, my (wired) Mac Mini and (WiFi) Macbook Pro are pulling 18 - 25 Mbps consistantly.
    Not sure if this is an issue with my approx. 3 year old Linksys Wireless N Router (model E1000) or an issue with the iPhone and iPad since i'm able to get decent wireless speeds on my Macbook Pro.
    To troubleshoot the situation, I've verified my wireless router's firmware is up-to-date and I've reset the network settings on the iPhone and iPad.
    Any ideas or suggestions would be helpful since I seem to be stuck and not sure what "next steps" I should take.  Thanks in advance!!

    Ok, so...here's a twist: I've been using Speedtest.net to test my wifi connection.  I ran tests on 4 different servers that Speedtest picked up.  While testing the iPhone, 2 of the 4 show speeds well over 20 Mbps, however, the other two servers show speeds of about .5 Mbps.  Is it normal to get extremely different readings from the servers?
    I'm now trying to determine if in fact I have a problem...or if there is no problem since the speeds look fine on other servers.  What do you think?

  • Wifi is extremely slow after upgrading to Yosemite

    After upgrading to Yosemite, i have extremely slow connection on Wifi and also Ethernet connecting to the internet. Had no problems with Mavericks and also my other wifi devices.
    Have tried deleting my network configuration and starting again and also have deleted my System Configuration folder with no success
    can anyone help??

    Finally found the solution. Apparently it is as I have guessed. The fault lies with the latest HTML 5 player added with safari instead of flash player to save battery.
    The problem was solved by selection Safari 7.1 from developer option !!

  • My iMac WiFi is extremely slow!!! Help me fix

    I have tried so many things to get my WiFi to run faster than what it is now, It's physically making me impatient. I have done a internet speedtest from the mac and the results are -
    Ping - 51ms
    Download speed - 0.09mbps
    Upload speed - 0.49mbps
    I even made a youtube video on what is actually happening.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjd5k817hn4
    What I don't understand is, Why is my macs WiFi so terrible? It's fully connected to the internet.
    I have updated the mac and it didn't seem to change in its perfomance.
    The iMac is new and it runs everything nice, just the internet is slow as anything.
    Now, Let me compare the results to my pc.
    Ping - 50ms
    Download speed - 3.66 mb/s
    Upload speed - 0.778 mb/s
    And now my ipad -
    Download speed 3.21 mb/s
    Upload speed 0.686 mb/s
    All these tests were done when there was only ONE device connected to the internet.
    Please, Help me fix my problem! I can't even load apples website without waiting 20 minutes!

    I spoke to apple yesterday and they run me through a few simple steps.
    First I removed all my cables which powers my iMac and I then left the cables unplugged for 15 seconds, After the 15 seconds I reconnected the cables and waited 5 seconds before switch on.
    Now, I was instructed to press the following keys.
    cmd , alt , R , P
    I hold those keys as my mac switches on and you have to keep hold of them until you hear the macs power up sounds twice. Once you hear it twice, let go of the keys you held down whilst you turned on your iMac. I then got told to skip the options what were given to me in the start of turning on the mac, Kind of like factory settings.
    I was then told to change my DNS to 8.8.8.8 and save.
    Once the DNS was changed I had no improvement in my internet speed what so ever. Now, I was then told to make a test account (login) which had no programs installed the the login. No change again...
    The problem is NOT the iMac, It's the router. Because of my router being old'sh and so on, My mac isn't getting the right internet speeds because the firmwire is not up to date with the iMac.
    As I spoke to my internet provider Orange or EE (whatever they call themselves now) They said lots of mac and apple users always seem to have problems with old routers. So they're sending me a new one.
    My garunteed fix is for the new internet modem to make my connection problems go away.
    So guys, if anyone is having the same problem as me, Ring your internet provider BEFORE you ring apple. It will save you time as you have to wait a few days for apple to ring your mobile/phone.
    Thank you!

  • Wifi rate extremely slow

    Hi!
    I have installed Arch Linux on a Raspberry Pi. Everything works great, except for the wifi, which is terribly slow. (i get max rates of 100KB/s).
    Im using a USB dongle called "edup Ultra-Mini Nano USB 2.0 802.11n 150 Mbit/s Wi-Fi/WLAN Wireless Network Adapter" (see http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters).
    $ lsusb

    The router is properly configured, as the rest of the devices on my network run at expected speeds.
    Any ideas on why is this happening?
    Thank you!

    As karol said, it may be an ARM specific issue.  But I also want to point out that it is quite frequent that we see issues around here with crappy and unstable connections with Realtek devices in general.  My machine originally had a card that used the notorious rtl8192ce module, and it was possibly the shittiest thing I have ever experienced in terms of "working" wifi.
    You should probably go ask on the ARM forums though, as maybe that might have a better idea (and certainly a greater percentage of users who have USB wifi).

  • IPad Mini Wifi is extremely slow

    I have tried every trick out there. Restart this, change settings, all the tricks. I've read all the articles and there's definitely no fix for them otherwise you guy's wouldn't have to reply with 10 thousands methods on how to fix it. This has to be a hardware issue or a new issue with the update. There needs to be a new update. I feel completely ripped off as I am not able to even stream video on Youtube without it buffering every 5 seconds. This is ridiclous and it used to do it every now and then before the update, but a simple "forget this network" method would seem to fix it temporarily. After the update, it hasn't streamed well at all. This is comparable to dial up connection and one of the Mini's selling points was that the Wifi on it was supposed to be lightening fast. It is not and it never has been.

    I have no problems streaming video with iOS 6.
    If you are having WiFi/Network problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
    First, test your iPad on some other networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
    If it works well there then the problem is with your network. Try restarting your router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
    If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
    If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

  • Ipad Air is extremely slow on wifi. Ipad 1 worked fine.

    My Ipad Air wifi is extremely slow. I have seen online this is an issue. I have read responses but still confused. Ipad 1 worked fine.

    Some things to try first:
    1. 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.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. 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
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Extremely slow internet using wifi.

    Hi guys,
    First post here so be gentle.
    After a week or so of using Arch I started noticing some strange things happening so far:
    - Pacman's package list downloading from the repos happens at regular speed (around 700Kb/s), then followed by a 30 secs lag between each package download, which starts at normal speed, but then come down to around 2Kb/s then I get an Address Record error, which terminates the download.
    - first ping to google is fine, then any ping after either get a 'host unknown' error or ping takes around 9Kms.
    - another strange behavior that happens when pinging is that the wireless connection start at a bit-rate of 1Mb/s (according to iwconfig), then every time I ping google the bit-rate jumps (1Mb/s -> 12Mb/s -> 24Mb/s -> 54Mb/s -> 81Mb/s).
    - can't load any websites (google takes around 5min to load, most other sites I just get a timed out error)
    So my config is as follows:
    - Intel Centerino Ultimate-N 6300
    - connected using NetworkManager (but while connected with wicd the problem still occurs).
    - running gnome 3.
    - the router is Edimax 6524n
    So far, I've checked resovle.conf (which only states my router ip address, which is fine because it serves as my DNS server), my hosts file (which is configured according to the tutorial in ArchWiki) and I've disabled the ipv6 module.
    I've asked in several forums so far but with not much success, so i'm really hoping someone can solve it for me.
    Thanks in advance!
    PS: in one of the forums i asked someone asked me to post the output of dmesg | grep -i iwlagn, so here it is:
    pastebin.com/Pmhi6swv
    PS2: This problem does not occur in any of the Windows machines that are connected to the wireless network nor does it happen when this exact machine runs Windows; so the problem is definitely in Linux

    I'm kind of having a similar problem. Ever since upgrading to 2.6.39 my wifi is extremely slow. It connects in g mode according to iwconfig and other network analyzing programs. I have iwl3945. The problem is. First it connects to wifi network(which takes about 30secs to successfully complete a connection request) it works great and I'm measuring 25Mbit(which is my internet connection speed) on speedtest.net. But after some minutes my speed drops to around 100KB/s and has a slight fluctuation, not quite constant. Even the upload is bigger than the download speed. If I disconnect the wifi, reload the kernel module and reconnect, then it works again for 1-2 minutes at full speed, then the speed drops again.
    http://www.speedtest.net/result/1338532978.png
    Any suggestions, or ideas would be very helpful. Thank you.

  • Extremely slow internet and staying connected

    I got Verizon internet almost 2 weeks ago. Ever since then it has been nothing but one problem after another. It cuts out so many times a day. I have to reset the modem 20+ times a day. Its very frustrating. I tried talking to customer service about it and they dont do anything, all they say is to go to the troubleshooting page and look around on there. I am ready to cancel because it is getting ridiculous. My modem is the Actiontec GT784 and it has built in Wifi, which cuts out as well. And the speed of the internet and the Wifi is extremely slow when it is connected. SOMEONE HELPPPPP!!! 

    Bad timing to get FIOS, There's an outage and Verizon doesn't seem to be doing anything.

    1) airport is not working well. it is extremely slow, has difficulties in fully loading pages, looses connectivity, It is not browser related, behaves thesame in safari or firefox; it is not the router/wlan; my husband mbp wifi works fine (as it was mine...) and iphone wifi is also working fine. it sees the signal and different networks. , it is also very very slow in opening skype (after that, it is working ok) if  I connect via ethernet cable to the same router, everything works perfectly and with the correct speed.could it be a damaged airport card? a software problem/corruption? logic board? (I hope not, the computer is out of apple care now....)
    2) after a certain time (more than hours) of use, the trackpad is behaving strangly, increase sensitivity to touch, unwanted selection of folders, files and text or images in web pages when i move the cursor, the cursor jumping all over the places while writing, ecc I have the impression it starts doing that when I use heavily the CPU ( and the temperature goes up). Is this again a problem of the mother/logic board?
    I had recently serviced it since it was not booting properly, but except some permissions repaired, they did noit find anything wrong in the hard drive (which I have  now substituted with a SSD) or other hardware.
    thanks in advance for any help/suggestions

    I think I solved the wifi connection problem, just by switching off completely the router! sounds trivial, but in this case it worked!!!
    the funny behaviour of the trackpad/cursor still persists. any suggestion???
    thanks again

  • WiFI extremely slow in Arch

    I have a new install of Arch after deciding to give it a go after 6 or 7 years on Gentoo.
    The only problem I am experiencing is extremely slow internet. 1.58Mbps vs 31Mbps previously in Gentoo.
    Google seems to indicate a lot of people have similar issues with Arch, but having followed the Wiki to the letter and not finding any solutions on Google I am stuck at where to start.

    Please let me know what logs to upload, any assistance appreciated. I will continue to search myself.

    If you are using a USB WiFi device that can potentially change names with different ports, it would probably make sense to either create a persistent name for that particular piece of hardware, or go back to the old naming scheme if you don't have another wireless card.  The idea of these crazy names is that if you have two wireless cards, two ethernet cards, or even an ethernet card and a broadcom wireless card (which also uses the eth* namespace), you will never know which will be 0 and which will be 1.  But if you tell the system what to name them, then you can at least have your netctl service run on a given interface name and know what it is going to be.
    Having said all that, you should also be aware that other network management solutions deal with changing interface names much better then netctl.  Netctl needs the interface name to be specified in the profile, so if it changes you are kind sh*t out of luck until you make the manual changes necessary. 
    To see if you have multiple network management services trying to handle things, run "systemctl --type=service" to see all the services you have going.  If you see more than one that should be handling the network (for example, if you enabled [email protected] during setup) then you need to figure out which single management solution is going to best fit your use case and go with that one only.  Most commonly, people still ahve dhcpcd.service or dhcpcd@<interface>.service around.  But it is also not uncommon to see people with netctl-ifplugd@<interface>.service running along with netctl-auto@<interface> at the same time, which will also cause issues.

  • Wifi unstable and extremely slow on my Aspire V Nitro VN7-591G-7.

    Hi again ! My previous problem is now solved. But now I have issues with my wifi. The wifi works perfectly on other devices but on my Aspire V Nitro VN7-591G-7, it's just impossible to do anything on the internet... I've read it's a common problem and there are solutions. What steps should I follow in order to solve this ? I'm running Windows 8.1 by the way. I really like the performances of this computer so I wish to get rid of this stupid problem ! Thank you very much.

    Can you describe "unstable and extremely slow" in more detail. Are you connected to the 5 GHz band of your wireless router or are you connected to the 2.4 GHz band? Are you having problems with all websites or just a few? Which web browser are you using?  IE or chrome or firefox? What is the model # of your wireless router? Is your wireless router supplied by your ISP? Or did you buy it retail? What BIOS version is currently installed on you laptop? What BIOS version is designated as the latest version on Acer's website? Does the problem occur when you use other people's wifi such as a friend, relative or neighbor?  Have you tested it somewhere besides your home? Does Acer's website list an updated wireless driver for your computer? http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers

  • My new ipod is extremely slow, but i have full strength wifi. Works fast at others homes.

    My new ipod touch 4g is extremly slow in my house, but i have full strength wifi. Works fast at others homes. When i try to connect to the internet it gives me a server error. All other ipods and laptops work fine in the home. Does anybody else have this issue?

    Have you tried powering off and then back on your router?
    You can try:
    - Reseting the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    -Resetting network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network settings.
