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!

    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.

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Browsing too slow on wifi on my iphone5

    I've had my iphone 5 for a week now, signal strength from my home wifi is excellent but when i surf the web (safari and the other apps) its just too slow,mediocre to say the least! most of the time webpages dont ever open! funny thing is my old iphone and ipad 2 works just fine with my wifi? i have tried resetting settings but problem persists.

    I second this... everything was working fine on my home wifi. I had a iphone 4 and a 3g running without issue. Then I upgraded my wife's 3g to a 4 and now the wifi is slower than cellular data. for a while i couldn't even get on my wifi, after manually setting the wifi settings i was able but alot of apps just hang.
    thoughts anyone?

  • 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.

    There is something Definitely wrong with iOS 7 regarding DATA USAGE being logged to wireless carrier in for WIFI instead.
    I read all the previous replies and same issue.
    I rarely use my mac to sync....its all wifi sync for the last 2 years....never had this issue before... and i know it began with iOS7.... here is why....
    My iPhone was at home when I updated to iOS7 connected to wifi...but it logged Data Usage to Rogers Wireless (700MB approx)...data will never do an update over 50mb in app store (it gives the warning to use wifi) I play a lot of games and pay for them so I always update through App Store.  2 weeks later, simposons halloween update (650mb)...at home, using wifi.
    Rogers told me there was 700+mb data usage on the day of update and 650+mb data on oct 1.st (tapped out).
    Went over my 6GB plan and paid the fees.
    This has never happened before...It must come to apples attention by now...

  • 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.

    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.

  • Error message: "Disk is too slow or System Overload."

    When I try to record from the line-in on my MacBook Pro (2.16GHz, 2GB RAM, 100GB 7200rpm HD), I get after some time (that can range from a few seconds to a few minutes) the error message: "CoreAudio: Disk is too slow or System Overeload. (-10010)".
    This is weird because I get that error even when recording into an empty project. I have no such error on my old PowerBook G4 (867MHz, 512MB RAM) with the same version of Logic Express (most recent). Both computers are fully up-to-date.
    I also get that error on my MacBook Pro very often when I'm working on a project and it's getting pretty annoying, it sorts of halts the process each time...
    I also have Mail, iCal and Adium running at the same time as Logic Express, none of which use much CPU so the problem can't realistically be from them...
    Any help to resolve this issue or at least shed some light on the potential cause would be greatly appreciated!

    Simply having idle applications in the background is probably fine, but I certainly believe that something like Mail checking for new messages in the middle of recording in Logic could cause problems.
    I would also check Activity Monitor to see if you have any background processes running that you aren't aware of. My wife's iBook slowed to a crawl once, and I discovered that a printer driver she installed to use a printer at work was using about 80 percent of the CPU.

  • New Satellite C50-A264 Laptop way too slow.

    I got this Satellite C50-A254 few weeks ago,i didnt touch it alot.
    I only used this laptop 2-3 times but its just terribly slow.
    Even if i launched Google Chrome,it constantly stopps responding and i have no idea why because it was too slow from the first place when i booted this laptop which doesnt make sence at all.
    I cant run literary anything good. Even opening control panel takes about 5 seconds.
    The specs are:
    OS: Windows 8
    HDD: 500GB
    RAM: 2GB
    CPU: Pentunum
    I've only installed uTorrent and Steam,but i dont know why that causes this laptop to be terriblely slow.
    I didnt tried to uninstall anything since it was slow from the first time.
    I'm sure this was not a re-used PC.

    I have the exact same stituation with the Toshiba C50D
    Bought it from the South African disributor
    Out of the box it was so slow as to be unuseable even for basic email
    within 2 days I took it back
    They would not accept it back as it has been used (tried once and not again.)
    I am now stuck with the WORST EVER COMPUTER, WHICH HAS TOTALLY PUT ME OFF ALL TOSHIBA PRODUCTS.
    The computer has lived in the cupboard  in it's box for the past 6 months and not been used.
    I have since purchased a DELL in the same price range for my wife.
    I have since purchased a much more expensive Acer as a work machine.
    ===============
    Out of curiosity in the last day - I intalled a 256 Gig Solid state drive and increased the memory to 8Gig.  Updated to Windows 8.1
    ABSOLUTELY NO CHANGE IN THE POOR PERFORMANCE.
    SHAME ON YOU TOSHIBA FOR SELLING SUCH COMPLETE RUBBISH AND RIPPING THE PUBLIC OFF.

  • The servers gets too slow with JMS Messages

    Hi all,
          Look, Im usin JMS services, with MDB, and work good. Also i kepp a Queue to wronly messages (basiclly for comunications between R3 and Portal). Thats messages have seted a "Time to Live" equals to one day, so, they dissapair when this time are completed. But for some reasson, my server gets too slow and show exeptions of Time Out. Maybe the messages are not "killed" really, and consume memory from the server or some like that.
          The think are, that im deleting manually the Queue from the Visual Administration, later than this, the process back to keep the execution time and gets faster.
          If some know some or had this same trouble, please help me...
    Thanks in advance,
    Jorge.

    I see. Thanks for your advice
    I always had this setting on my previous devices (Sony Xperia X10 pro, Samsung Galaxy Slll) and thought it wouldn't do anything. It just got slow when it actually was updating.
    Now I turned that setting off, the wifi worked quite long again (10min) but then it was gone. Unfortunately.
