WRT160N V.3 slow connection with MAC

I am having connection issues with my MAC. Very slooooooow.
It seemed to be working properly at first but now it's slowed down to a crawl.
When I hardwire myself to the router it's fine.
Signal strength is excellent.
Would someone please help me figure out what is wrong?
Please tell me what info you need and I will provide it for you.
Thx,
-Karol

Try to upgrade your router's firmware
Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

Very slow connection with Mifi 4510L??

I'm hoping someone here can give some guidance. I am having very slow connection with the 4510L we just got. Via test on speedtest.net I'm seeing download speed of .17 MBPS at times it was so slow the test was not completing. I normally have 1 or 2 bars on the mifi unit and have seen up to 3 at times. I drove into town and see the same range (1 to 3 bars). I have yet to see the 4G light come on except for prior to activation (would light solid green at times) since activating I have only seen the violet light for 3G.
Verizon advertises full service both around our city (Richmond, VA) and at my more remote location in Hanover. I have been through the recommended resets and nothing seems to improve the connection speed. Could the unit itself be defective? Also, I've noticed when I go to a location website it thinks I am in Pennsylvania when I am in Virginia. Could the Mifi be trying to connect to a signal in that location for some reason (was refurbished device)
Thanks for any help you can offer,
Brian

I was having problems but upgrading to 2.28 seems to have helped me in addition to a few other changes I made based on this review of the 4510L
http://www.anandtech.com/show/4500/novatel-wireless-mifi-4510l-review-the-best-4g-lte-wifi-hotspot/4
1) "selecting WPA2 Personal/PSK (AES)"
2) "manually selecting a channel (instead of Auto) fixes almost all the instability problems"
(I'm not sure if it actually worked as the diagnostics always shows channel 0 no matter what I picked. I did try a couple before one - or the myriad of other things I tried - seemed to make a difference - at least for now - fingers crossed)
3) "allowing for one to select between each network mode manually, so you can force 4G LTE, EVDO, 1xRTT, or all of the above. This is incredibly useful if you’re right at the cutoff for 4G LTE SINR" (that's WWAN Preferred Mode LTE only for me)
4) I also changed my 802.11 Mode to just one mode that works on both computers at my house
5) I am also careful to turn it off when I am done with it and take it off the charger for the night as well.
It is my only internet service due to my semiremote location (no cable etc) and when I first got it as a replacement for my dependable 2200 I was about to pull all my hair out. I was "forced" into it because due to antenna issues on a local tower that supplies my 3G signal my 2200 wasn't even able to load my gmail account. Verizon very helpful on that - call us if its still an issue in a "few weeks"! However, when I inquired about the antenna's effect on a 4G signal, an intelligent tech was able to tell me that it was not the tower I would be getting a 4G signal off of - odd but I didn't question that possibility.
It runs very very warm but I suspect having it on the charger and using it almost all day is part of that. At first I was wondering if heat was part of the problem - going so far as to have it sitting on an ice pack to test that theory. Of course then I had to wonder if maybe I was freezing it -lol. I am careful to turn it off when I am done with it and take it off the charger for the night as well.
I've been on it most of the day and it seems to be behaving well - so fingers crossed

SMB Slow connection with upgrade to SnoW Leopard and Windows Clients.

<pre>
Dear,
I have now upgraded my MAC OS X LEOPARD 10,5,8 to new SNOW LEOPARD 10,6,2 and if some problems disappear I have a newer big one !
Now every time a Windows CLient try to connect to a SMB Share of SL server that take a long time about 10-15 seconds to open after that depending on client OS that could be nice for a moment (windows 7 and XP) or browsing stay very slow like for 2003 server connecting to Share on S.Leopard.
Could you please help me.
My SL are the main SMB share computer with all data it is connect like other clients to AD (SBS2003).
I have a SBS2003 server that are Master of Domain
and a Server 2008 acting like Terminal Server also member server of domain.
Here are kind of log I receive from SMBD.LOG: I suppose the Credentials problem when connecting are my explanation but how to avoid that !

Dear CarlosGBA,
So when you put 2 computers of your network in WORKGROUP in place of DOMAIN the 38 others works fine ? Strange ?
I have about 15 computers, some are already in workgroup other are linux smb other MAC, the data server are MAC OS X SL, the problem appear for all windows machines, I have try to dissable NTLMV2 and Kerberos since it is probably the faulty element with opendirectory,but always without success !
I don't know what I can do to trouble shout, I hope next release 10.6.3 come soon and correct about all SMB problem ! Probably a dream only ! Since I ask my self if Apple want to correct something andwhy is this problem let without solutionso long ! For a company it is a big problem.I suppose that Apple never read this forum and never answer our problem ! May be I should contact the support phone to be helped !
Thanks for you help.

WRT160N and WUSB600N slow connection

Im running WINDOW VISTA
Using COMCAST CABLE
Hi, I got a WRT160N router. Using it with my WUSB600N(running VISTA) adapter. Some how my connection is really slow. I am also using my WUSB54GS(running XP) adapter with the router and connection is good there. I play World of Warcraft, and it lags. I had tried a few methods through the forum but none seems to work. Here is what I had tried:
Change Beacon Interval 50
Fragmentation Threshold: 2304
RTS Threshold 2304
Network Mode: Mixed
Channel Width: 20Mhz Only
Channel: 6 (seems like 11 is much slower)
Uncheck Filter Anonymous Internet Requests
Changing the MTU to 1300
Also I upgrade the firmware on the router
Im running WINDOW VISTA
Using COMCAST CABLE

Are you facing the same problem on your XP as well as on your Windows 7 computer? If only on your Vista Computer, then you can try to Update the drivers for your Wireless Network adapter on your Windows 7 Computer. Once the drivers is updated on your computer then you can check the speed on your computer.

Slow Connection with Seagate Backup Plus as AirPort Drive

Hello
I recently connected a 3TB Seagate Backup Plus to the USB port on my Airport extreme. I reformatted the drive to Mac OS Extented (journaled). I ran speed test from one of my Macs over the LAN network using Black Magics Disk Speed Test. My write/read speeds were 10 and 4 MB/s. Can someone tell me why are read/write speeds so slow? My Mac is connected to the network through ethernet.
Thanks

Yes, I just ran the test again and the write speed is faster than the read. If this is typical for this type of setup than I will have to look for another option. I was hoping to transport my itunes and photo libraries to this drive this type of performance is a non-starter.
For grins I connected an old powered USB 2 hub to the back of the airport extreme the performance was worst still.
There appears to be an occassional permissions issue with Speed Test. I just got message that the drive is read only.
I will try reformatting again.

Can connect with Macs but not PCs - iChat 2.1 OSX 10.3.9

Hi, I am having problems connecting to PCs but can connect to other Macs fine. I have ploughed through as much of the correspondance on here as I can find but with no luck. Would I be right in assuming that if I can connect OK to another Mac (with .mac name or AIM name) my settings should be OK?
Cheers,
Mike

Hi Mike
Try me and see, defcom1 .mac account.
Has the PC side-up ok, see for set-up http://www.mvldesign.com/videoconferencetutorial.html#xp they must be using AIM5.9 and not AIM Triton

Bluetooth connection with Mac Book Pro

How do I set up a Bluetooth connection with my Mac Book Pro?

I'm trying to set up the Blue Tooth connection so I can use internet tethering from my iPhone to my MacBook Pro. I have already set up the USB option and that works well on my Rogers network. I've achieved Bluetooth paring between the iPhone and MacBook, but I can't get them to connect.
I'm using Snow Leopard, if that makes any difference.
Any ideas?

How to get audio device information connected with MAC system?

I want to know the samplerate (the number of samples per second) supported by the device connected with the MAC system.
I am also pasting the code as below where I need that info.
// Using PCM 44.1 kHz, 16 bit signed,stereo.
          AudioFormat audioFormat = new AudioFormat(AudioFormat.Encoding.PCM_SIGNED, //     the audio encoding technique
          44100.0F,// sampleRate           the number of samples per second
          16,      // sampleSizeInBits the number of bits in each sample
          2,       // channels           the number of channels (1 for mono, 2 for stereo, and so on)
          4,       // frameSize           the number of bytes in each frame
          44100.0F,// frameRate          the number of frames per second
          false); // bigEndian          indicates whether the data for a single sample is stored in big-endian byte order (<code>false</code> means little-endian)

Can you sugget something in that area.That's not an issue that's specific to MAC, it'd be specific to any system with a limited number of supported capture formats.
I've handled this problem in the past by generating an array full of all of the AudioFormat objects I'd consider acceptable, and I just iterate through them until I can find a TargetDataline that supports it.
TargetDataLine tdl = null;
/* Write your own code to get an array of acceptable formats here */
AudioFormat formats[] = JavaSoundFormats.getFormatList();
for (AudioFormat format : formats) {
    DataLine.Info dlinfo = new DataLine.Info(TargetDataLine.class,
                                             format);
        if (AudioSystem.isLineSupported(dlinfo)) {
            try {
                audio_in_format = format;
                tdl = (TargetDataLine)AudioSystem.getLine(dlinfo);
                break;
            catch(LineUnavailableException e) {
                // No need to do anything

    System.err.println("No TargetDataLines found!");

Very slow connection with db2 ver 9.1 client on win2000

I have been having difficulty in diagnosing why when after installing db2 9.1 fp5 client on our wind2000 box which has Crystal Embedded 10 RAS ( service pack 6 ) running, the reports that i am invoking using the Java SDK ( we have an online J2ee web application ) are very slow. I have narrowed the problem area down to where the java sdk is trying to set the table location.
Using the db2 7.1 client since 2005, we have not had this issue. We must upgrade to ver 9.1 db2 since this is being done at an enterprise level. I upgraded our test server to 9.1 and noticed this slowness. With the 7.1 db2 client and the same RAS server, the reports take about 2 or 3 seconds but with the 9.1 client the reports take about 40+ seconds each and this is always as the setTableLocation method. Once is goes through this, the rest runs fine.
I have tested this with a local db2 datbase on windows, a remote db2 database 3000 miles away ( same as with what the 71 client runs against) and it is consistently the same response time.
I did notice that if I ran my java online on the same server as the RAS server, the response time is great. This only seems to be happenning when the java app is not on the same server as the RAS server.
I also have a java stub that does not run in a web container. in this case, with the same code and the same databases, whether i am local or remote from the crystal server, the response time is 40+ seconds to connect.
The .rpt files are developed via Crystal Reports 10 and we develop on a local database and we modify the database credentials throught the SDK as we deploy upto production. I have also tried this with the same database we developed with and the same 40+ seconds connect time.
All of these scenarios work fine with the 7.1 client.
so it seems there is some connection issue with the 9.1 client only.
Need help urgently.

I have exactly the same issue.

Slow connection with OS X 10.7 while trying to access a Windows 2003 server

Good afternoon:
I am a systems engineer in an enterprise environment that is now deploying Macs and I have been finding that the Macs have a very slow connection to the Windows 2003 server; even after installing all necessry components.
All of the Macs access network services via Active Directory
The issue is the connection speed when trying to access folders on the servers.
Does anyone have any ideas as to speed up this connectivity issue?

Did you resolve this issue? Any links to anwers to this?
thank you.

Very slow connection with WRT54GS.

It appeared out of nowhere 2 days ago... slow connection for websites, very high latency for online games to a point where it's unplayable... i tried to reset my router, change channel(i'm usually at channel 6), moving the antennas... nothing. when i reset, the speed is fine for a few minutes, but after a while it's back to slow connection. My router isn't even 1 year old yet and it's already broken? I can't believe that, there must be some solution. Anyone can help please?

The latest firmware is 1.02.0 if you have wrt54gs v6 & V5 if yout got v7 the latest firmware is 7.50.0
First step you need to check is your direct connection from the modem.
1. hardwire your computer straight to the modem using a cat 5 ethernet cable, if your download speed and your internet connection is slow, the problem is with the modem or with your ISP so you need to call your ISP and double check your connection.
If your speed if fine straight to the modem then its with the router.
2.Hardwire your computer straight to the router if your speed is fine when its hardwired through the router, then the problem is with your wireless card or the wireless settings of the router.
In US the standard channel is 11,6 and 1. So play around with the channel. If its still doesnt work then access the setup page of your router click on the WIRELESS tab click on ADVANCE WIRELESS SETTINGS sub tab. set beacon interval to 50, RTS and Fragmentation Threshold to 2304.
After that turn off the modem the router and your computer for 1min. After a minute turn on the modem first after lights of your modem are steady, turn on the router and lastly turn on your computer, check your connection if its fine then its fixed if not call linksys tech support.
I hope this would help. Good Luck!

Loosing and slow connection with Airport Extreme

Hi. Before I start, I hope there are some who suffer the same problem as me.
First of all, I have a problem with my MacBook and Airport Extreme. The Network I created with Airport is getting really slow or unconnected with my MacBook. So I tried to reset both the modem and Airport. Actually, it kinda works, however this problem occurs later.
First time I thought it was the problem with uTorrent that I didn't use uTorrent anymore but it still has a problem.
Because of this **** problem, I have to reset my modem and Airport Extreme several times a day and it really stressed me out. Embarrasingly, I don't even know what the problem is. is ti the problem with My macBook? AirPort Extreme? Modem? No idea..
I need a help...
P.S. Modem seems working fine since the ethernet is working fine. maybe problem of Airport or MacBook. I think I should go to the Genius Bar but I am afraid that 'Genius' is going to just check once and say 'It has no problem.'

I too am having very slow connection speed issues with two of my white macbooks, both running 10.6.2, same airport extreme wireless adapter (built in). The strange thing is, these two macbooks came in a macbook 5-pack, and the 3 other laptops all have excellent speed. Nothing different has been done with these 2 laptops - all were updated (albeit the 2 were much slower to download the update), with nothing new installed otherwise...
There were some Macbooks that had an issue with the screws holding their internal AirPort cards in place loosening, resulting in noise and lower signal levels from the antennas.
You may want to try taking one of the affected Macbooks to a local Apple Store and see if you experience the same issues on their in-store network.

Itunes slow connection with internet

HELP please someone!
I recently purchased an iphone 4 and so had to get itunes!
I never had the need for it before but I'm quite impressed with it, sorts my music well and works quicker than I thought it would on Windows.
There is 1 issue though, the connection with the internet seem terrible!
I can't stream the 30sec clips of songs in the itunes store! If I download a song it takes at least half an hour! =(
My connection works fine for everything else, normally around 3Mb/sec download speed, often more though! So don't have any issues with anything else!
If I download a song from another source, often takes a matter of a few mins, if not seconds. But itunes seems so slow on the internet!
Really quick to use, just slow as **** on the net!
Any solutions you can suggest?
I've got a Comodo firewall and Mcafee anti-virus and I've added itunes to their safe lists! I can't see what's slowing it up!
HELP PLEASE!
Thanks in advance folks!

How about the built-in Windows firewall - is that also active?
As a test if this was my PC, I'd turn off all firewalls and security to see if it made any difference. You can always turn it back on after the test.
Also I'd try closing itunes in the main account, logging into the windows guest account and see if it is slow there, too.
