Will a 802.11n Macbook Pro connected to a 802.11ac router have slower internet?

I've noticed that in the past few days while playing games that my ping is significantly higher than before. Could this be the cause?

Internal Network Speeds (note that these are maximums, in real life expect half to two thirds)
802.11
G     54Mb/s
N     300Mb/s
AC   1000Mb/s
So, with your internet speed of 56Mb/s a G router would cause a very minor reduction in speed. N and AC routers would have no effect on speed.
Your ping time is 16ms, this is a good ping time, I don't see any reason at your end why it is not working for you.
Have you installed anything new, apps or peripheral hardware lately.
Oh, and you do not have a DSL connecion, you have cable.

  • AirPort Extreme 802.11n macbook pro

    I have just set up time capsule and it works perfectly (painless process setting this up!) One query i have is re: AirPort Extreme 802.11n.
    I have a macbook pro 2.16GHz core duo, and according to network utility i have Wireless Network Adapter (802.11 a/b/g). I have attempted to update this but I get the message that my computer:
    Your computer does not meet the hardware requirements for this update.
    Can i update or not? I have not restarted my comp since installing time capsule, would that maybe make a difference?

    Sorry but "Core Duo" Macs do not have the 802.11n hardware.
    Only "Core 2 Duo" Macs have the appropriate hardware.

  • Macbook Pro connects to campus wifi but suddenly Safari/Mozilla will not load anymore.

    I've had my MacBook Pro for a while now, it's still running Leopard, but that hasn't been a problem. I woke up yesterday morning and the Airport says its connected to the campus network, but when I open Safari/Mozilla/Mail, it will not load, and eventually says that the server will not respond.
    I have connected to this network for over a year with no changes/problems
    it literally happened overnight. I left my computer to sleep like I always do and when I woke it up in the morning, the internet wouldn't load.
    internet works when I use an Ethernet cable
    my roommate is sitting next to me with her newer macbook pro connected to the same network that is fucntioning just fine. So it's not the network (not that I could do anything to it if it was)
    I've restarted, turned off Airport and turned it back on, deleted network preferences, put in the exact same IP address that my roommate has (hers is different from mine, but mine will not connect with the one she is connected to)...
    HELP?

    I solved my issue and I believe it was router related. I have a router through Verizon and their Fios service. My router was old so I caled for a replacement. when I received thereplacement I switched it the router to only accept 802.11n and this did the trick. Problem solved, stupid router.

  • My MacBook Pro will not connect to my home wifi but will connect everywhere else. My other Apple devices (I-pad, I-touch, another MacBook Pro) connect to the router without problems. It was working fine but all of a sudden stopped working.Thanks!

    try this.
    get back into your router's settings and start deleting devices that are not connected to your router.
    you can also delete the ones that are connected - they'll connect again.
    on the DHCP side of it, increase the amount of users that can connect/log in to your router.
    see if that sorts it out for you.
    good luck.

  • Can anyone recommend a USB CF card reader that will work in my Macbook Pro Retina? My USB card readers for CF cards do not work

    At present, the only way I can load photos from a CF card to my new Macbook Pro Retina is by loading them onto an external hard drive via an old PC that can accept either of my USB card readers, then plugging the external hard drive into my MBP. Neither the USB card reader or the cable that comes with the Canon HDSLR camera will transfer photos directly to my MBP. I find it unbelievable that I have to go to a PC to load photos because I can't do it with my new MBP.
    Has anyone found a reliable USB CF card reader, or one that connects via thunderbolt or HDMI, at any price, that will work directly with the new MBP Retina?

    This is what we need:
    Location photoshoot - we use the Canon EOS 5D  Mk II still camera & the Canon FX100 pro camcorder.
    CF cards are: SanDisk Extreme UDMA & SanDisk Extreme Pro UDMA 6 for video (I think they are both Type II) My Mac recognises them both as FAT 32 format
    My MBPRetina is on the latest version of Mountain Lion OSX 10.83
    the files from the camcorder will transfer to my MacBook Pro Retina directly via the camera's cable but it is quite slow & it means I cannot continue to film while downloading files but this we can live with.
    the files from the still camera Canon EOS 5D  Mk II will not transfer directly via the camera's cable - have yet to get the Canon software to download, but via the camera's cable will not help anyway as we need to have the still camera free to keep shooting.
    We need to be able to take out the CF card from the first part of the shoot & download the still shots while just on the Macbook's battery power, while we insert a fresh CF card back into the still camera to continue with the next part of the shoot simultaneously (while the first card is downloading.)
    The files from the first part of the shoot will be both in RAW (.CR2) & Jpeg format. We just need to quickly transfer the jpegs, then I do a quick sort, batch the best ones as black/white images, & use these in a client slideshow immediately after part 2 of the shoot.
    Obviously we need fast data transfer speeds, & rely on the MBP's battery power while on a location shoot.
    The card readers I have tried are an older specific CF card reader branded as Palm, & a USB 2 multi card reader branded as Travel Flash. With both readers, the lights on the readers flash on & off, & the MBP recognises the card & the files will even appear both in Finder & in i-Photo, so it starts importing, then aborts with an error message saying:
    'The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “” can’t be read or written.
    (Error code -36)'
    & another message saying:
    'the disk was not ejected properly'.
    So it appears the MBP does read the CF cards but the card readers don't stay connected, no matter what angle I put them on or however many times I re-connect them.
    Yes, they are probably cheap & I want to buy a decent one.
    So, in summary:
    the card reader needs to work when the MBPR is only on battery power (I read in some forums that some USB card readers aren't so reliable on the laptop's battery power)
    the card reader needs to be quite fast. I have read the USB 3 readers won't read CF cards at higher than USB 2 speeds. Is this true? Are the firewire connected ones faster, & if so, are they still reliable on the MBP's battery power?
    From research, it appears my problem is associated with my specific model of Mac & platform, being MacBook Retina on Mountain Lion OSX Version 10.83. If any of the recommended card readers have been successful with this, plese let me know.
    Thanks heaps for the suggestions so far.

  • Does Airport Extreme still function at 802.11ac if an 802.11n device is connected to network?

    I have an Airport Extreme and iPhone 6 which both operate on 802.11ac. I have noticed when an 802.11n device (DVD player) is also connected to my network my connection rate on my iPhone 6 drops to 802.11n rather than the faster 802.11ac. All of the literature I have read states that Airport Extreme is capable of transmitting at both 2.4ghz and 5ghz simultaneously (I have no questions about that), however is Airport Extreme incapable of transmitting to both 802.11ac and 802.11n devices simultaneously? If so, why did I spend all that money on a router that boasts 802.11ac technology but slows to 802.11n if an 802.11n device is connected?

    It should do both at once.. AC is only on 5ghz and I highly doubt the DVD player is using 5ghz.. however you might need to force the phone to connect to 5ghz.. as it will always join the strongest signal not the best or fastest wireless..
    So simply set two wireless names.. eg AE24ghz for the 2.4ghz and AE5ghz for the 5ghz band.. whatever you name it include the freq as it makes it easier to know what is going on.
    Then force the phone to join the 5ghz and it should work just fine at AC speed. Even as the DVD is running on 2.4ghz. Of course if bandwidth is consumed by both and your internet is limited it may reduce your speed to well below N wireless even.

  • Macbook Pro connection to Sony Bravia LCD Color TV

    I have a macbook pro and I'm trying to connect it a Sony Bravia LCD Color Television. The macbook detects the sony tv and brings up a dialogue box about it. However, on the tv it says no signal. Anyone have any suggestions as to why this is happening?

    I had the same problem with a 1080i Bravia Sony and a MacBook Pro connected with a DVI-HDMI lead - it turned out to be a very simple solution - you have to make sure you are looking at the right AV channel on the TV. The mapping of AV1-6 to the ports on the back is not obvious at all (in this case it was AV4 that was the correct AV port). The Bravia also has the option to skip AV channels if desired - so if in the preferences you have disabled ports then you need to make them available to skip through.
    The picture is very sharp indeed with a DVI-HDMI lead - far far superior to a vanilla SVGA cable. Sound is automatically selected from an analogue input (2xphono) on one of the HDMI ports so make sure you select the right one on the back.
    (p.s. just to emphasize - the DVI-HDMI does not map to the 'PC' port it is another AV channel)

  • Need a printer driver for a PIXMA MG2900 that will work on my MacBook Pro Operating System OSX 10.4.11

    I have just purchased a Canon Pixma MG2900 printer and need to find a driver for this printer that will work with my MacBook Pro Operating System OSX Version 10.4.11.
    I was directed to iTunes PIXMA/MAXI, but it didn't seem to download for me.  It did say that it was for IPads or IPhones, not sure that it's intended for use on a computer.

    Probably best to go to a library and submit your resume there.

    I've encountered 4HDD/11/40000000 SATA(0,0). AFTER SOME RESEARCH IN APPLE COMMUNITY, I LEARNT THAT IT'S A HARDWARE ISSUE. SO I WILL BE TAKING MY MACBOOK PRO TO NEAREST APPLE STORE. MY QUE IS, WILL IT BE FIXED IF I UPGRADE FROM OSX 10.8.5 TO MAVERICKS? What other options do I have? What can be an approximate cost for fixing this problem?

    Of course not. It's a hardware problem, so it can't be fixed by upgrading software. The only option you have got is to take the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller.
    That error indicates a problem with the hard drive. What you have to do is to make a backup of your files and take the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller, so they can confirm that the problem is the hard drive and not the SATA connector, which could be worse.
    If it's a hard drive issue, it's not expensive (about $100-200, depending on the hard drive). If it's a SATA connector issue, the whole logic board may have to be replaced.
    Note that you can replace the hard drive yourself if you want, but the cost between doing it yourself and taking the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller is similar

    Hello QuinnDev,
    Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.  It sounds like you are trying to use your MacBook Pro with a Thunderbolt Display in closed clamshell mode (MacBook Pro closed), but sometimes the display doesn't stay on.  I found an article that talks about closed clamshell mode.  You would have to fulfill the following requirements to use your display this way:
    Requirements for closed display mode:
    Power adapter
    External keyboard, mouse, or trackpad
    External display
    You can find all the steps and the full article here:

  • Will a early 2011 macbook pro run ml airplay mirroring

    Will an early 2011 macbook pro run airplay mirroring on moutain lion

    Only thing I would add if I was you, would be to put 8GB RAM into your machine. That will help any issues of being slow, but it should run just fine. Having more ram is always good, and for the price point its well worth it.
    I have on 2010 Macbook Pro and it screams. Also on 2011 Macbook Air with no issues.
    As for running slow, it could incompatible apps, or apps that havent been updated yet, it would be impossible to pinpoint one thing.
