WRT54GS v.7 - Internet browsing gradually slows down when assigned an IP address.

After assigning an IP address to a PC connected via wire to WRT54GS v.7, internet browsing gradually goes to a crawl and practically stop working. When the address is assigned by DHCP, there are no issues.
Is this a known issue with the router? Are there any pitfalls to avoid when assigning an IP address with WRT54GS v.7? Any pointers on this is greatly appreciated!

Browsing should not go down if you assign static/manual ip address on your router...If it is working fine with the DHCP assigned IP Address i would suggest you stay with the DHCP assigned address...

Windows 8.1 "explorer.exe" gradually slows down - Observation

Hi, I posted a question a year ago about Windows 8.1 gradually slows down issue, and it seems still not being solved. I recently found some new clues about this, hope it can be useful. (Please read the original post first
since it contains basic descriptions of the issue:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/f9ab40a8-6681-4c66-bdbd-9de7b2fb021f/windows-81-gradually-slows-down-after-hours-speed-returns-normal-if-restart-explorerexe?forum=w8itproperf)
This issue is found to be somehow related to total Page Faults of explorer.exe since it starts. The majority of page fault is created by desktop background slide show. On my laptop, the slide show is set to randomly switch between 53 jpegs
(mostly 1920*1080) every 10 seconds. The Page Fault Delta of explorer.exe is usually 2 per second when not doing anything, and tenth to hundreds when there are some actions. But at the instance when the background is switching, it will peak to a value
between 13,000 and 30,000.
I don't know if this value is normal or not, but when the total Page Faults reaches about 20,000,000, a slight slow-down can be observed by moving your mouse up and down on the favorite bar items in IE (the right bar shown when pressing Alt+C
in IE), a slight lag can be observed. The slow down (slightly) of normal windows can be observed when Page Faults reaches about 40,000,000. At that time, the mouse lag on favorite bar items becomes much more obvious. After another few hours, the slow-down
will become more serious.
I tried to disable the slide show by only using one background image, the total Page Fault stays low and the slow-down issue does not occur after one day (the Page Fault after one day is also far less than 20,000,000). That's why restarting explorer.exe
can temporarily fix it. I tried it on 2 other Windows 8.1 computers and get the same results. Maybe there is some memory allocation or fragmentation problem building up? One thing I don't know is that if this is caused by the background slide show itself,
or if explorer.exe in general will slow down after experimenting enough page faults.

Polyhedron,
This main reason of this issue is not the Windows system. A page fault occurs under these situation:
1. A program requests an address on a page that is not in the current set of memory resident pages.
2. The virtual memory system has become unstable because of a shortage of physical memory (RAM).
3. The virtual memory system has become unstable because of a shortage of free disk space.
4. The virtual memory area is corrupted by a program.
5. A program is attempting to access data that is being modified by another program that is running.
Please refer this blog to determine it's hard faults or soft faults.
The Basics of Page Faults
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2008/06/10/the-basics-of-page-faults.aspx
In addition, from your description, since the background slide itself is without problem, I suspect the root is your ram. Try to increase the amount of memory or reduce the cache size for test.

Safari browser seems to slow down when working with my wifi ASUS AC 68U router

safari browser seems to slow down when working with my wifi ASUS AC 68U router - any ideas on why?

Is your problem with Safari on the iPad, or some MacBook Air?
Are you sure that the ASUS firmware is tested with the device having trouble and its operating system?
Note: MacBook Airs do not run iOS. They run Mac OS X, Windows or Linux.

Windows 8.1 gradually slows down after hours. Speed returns normal if restart "explorer.exe".

I have Windows 8.1 Pro (x64) installed on Alienware M17x. The slowdown mostly appears as slow response in the situation such as open a folder/window, open/close/switch tabs in IE, drag window, and there's also cursor lag. It gradually
slows down after system boot, noticeable after 3-4 hours, really slow after 8-9 hours.
I have thought about many possible processes which can cause this issue, and then I found out that it's caused by "explorer.exe". If I kill "explorer.exe", the speed suddenly becomes normal. Then, I restart explorer.exe
again, it stays normal, and then it still gradually slows down again after hours.
I have checked driver or software compatibility. Also, CPU usage and Disk usage is normal.
Please give some advises, reasoning, or solutions.

SaccoSVD
The process that is causing the problem is called sidebar.exe and I am curious why it is running on a win 8 machine as I dont believe it is built in. (It seems to have over 22,000 instances launched so I suspect either malware or a broken app)
It is usually associated with a Vista machine, or updated win 7 machine. Did you do do a clean install? Have you run a malwarebytes scan?
Please download the free version of Malwarebytes.
Update it immediately.
Do a full system scan
Let us know the results at the end.

Internet speed slows down when connected via airport express

Internet speed slows down when connecting via airport express. When connecting directly via the timecapsulethe internet speed is ok, when connecting via the airport express the speed slows down.What can I do to change that? Any suggestions?

Turn off the AirPort Express completely as a test, and move your computer very close to the location of the Express.
As I said before, the Express can only extend the bandwidth (speed) that it receives from the Time Capsule, so the speed that you see there with the Express powered off will be the fastest speed of which the Express is capable.
The Express will make the signal go further when it extends....but it will not make the signal go faster.
A good location for a device that extends wirelessly is a point that is about half the distance from the Time Capsule and the general area that needs more wireless coverage.
If you locate the AirPort Express too far from the Time Capsule or there are more than a couple of walls in the signal path, the signal will be very slow by the time that it reaches the Express....and the Express simply extends a signal that has already slowed down significantly.
If you already have the Express located about half the distance between the Time Capsule and general area that needs more wireless coverage, how many walls, ceilings or other obstructions are there in the signal path between the Time Capsule, the AirPort Express and the area that needs more coverage?
Often, due to obstructions, it is just not possible to achieve good performance when you try to extend a network wirelessly. The solution is connect the AirPort Express to the Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet connection.
There is virtually no signal loss with this type of connection, so the Express can be located exactly where it is needed and it will produce a much faster wireless signal in this type of setup.

Songs slowing down when I type

I'm running iTunes 7.7.1 on a new computer. iTunes had no problem on my old one, but on my new one, the songs slow down when I type, which is rather annoying, since I listen to music while, you know, typing. I'm on WinXP Pro, and everthing else is working great. Any ideas?

What tools, Mostly I work with iWeb using iPhoto, Aperture, Photoshop TeXture Adobe FormsCentral for Acrobat etc. making and editing Web Sites. Often I have many Apps open simultanously.

Excel slows down when network drive is mapped

Since a couple of months we are experiencing strange behaviour of excel (2011) on Lion 10.7.5
Excel versions from 14.3.1. to 14.3.4 all the same behaviour.
Symptom 1)
When I connect the Time Capsule drive , Excel slows down by factor 100 when entering text. Needs up to 2 seconds to react on a key stroke.
When I disconnect the handle, excel works fast again.
(repeatable, reproducible)
Symptom 2)
on the network drive, always at the same place, a file named ~abcde.xls... occurs (exact name forgotten, but it is a recent file name
preceded with a tilde sign)
deleting of the file does not affect speed
the file reappears occasionally (TC backup is switched off!)
Where is the ghost??? :-D
maybe these symptoms are uncorrelated.
Why the heck does Excel slow down when I open the network drive??
Why does this happen on 10.7.5 and not on 10.6.8?
Anyone any idea?
thanks,
Stefan

Thanks. Away on holiday right now, but will do it as soon as I get back next week.
Out of curiosity, the external drive works fine when connected directly via USB to the laptop. I took that to mean that the problem wasn't to do with the drive, but probably the network. Is it possible there could be a problem with the drive which only shows up when it's used as a network drive?

HELP - 88.2 k 24-bit wav file is slowing down when imported to garageband

i have an 88.2 k 24-bit wav file that is slowing down when imported to garageband. How do i get around this problem?

You need to convert it to 44.1 16 bit. You can do that with iTunes.

Slow down when processing image clipping in photo shop with pen tool

Adobe cs5 slow down when processing image clipping use with pen tool. The path is applying after few seconds when we draw on the image. My system supporting 4 GB memory with 64 bit.

The main thing i use paths for in photoshop is extracting objects from photos.
Other uses include stroking paths with the paint tools. For example, if you had
a powerline to remove, one could trace the line with the pen tool and then stroke
the path with spot healing brush set to content aware fill.

Internet browsing ludicrously slow after upgrading to Mavericks

Hi All,
I wonder if someone could possibly offer some suggestions please.
Everything was fine and running sweetly on ML.
After upgrading to Mavericks, Internet browsing has become ridiculously slow.
Safari, Chrome and Firefox all exhibit the same problems.
Spotlight isn't indexing, and nothing else is 'hogging' any resources.
There are no issues with my routher or modem ad my WindozePC works just fine.
I have seen posts by people recommending clearing the Cache and Preferences files.
Within these folders though, are settings I don't want to lose. (reg info for software etc.)
Due to geographical restrictions, a trip to the Genuis Bar isn't an option.
Could someone please offer some advice?
Many thanks in advance.

Hold down the Option key while emptying the Trash.
As for your Mac running slower... make sure there's enough free disk space.
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.

Internet speeds keep slowing down to a crawl

I'm having a problem that has only developed in the past week which was during a time when I haven't changed any configurations in that period of time since my son was born a week ago yesterday and I obviously had more important things to do than mess with my network configurations. However, about 2 weeks prior to his birth, in the process of configuring a baby monitoring system with icam source, 3 weeks or so ago, I read that I might be able to improve my internet performance, I ran googles namebench a couple of times and added and re-ordered the DNS servers that had been listed prior to any problems developing based on its' reports. My internet speeds improved as a result of changing those DNS settings and stayed good until the past week. But of course, we now need to use the computer as part of our baby monitoring system and it's not working worth a **** and I'm getting frustrated since I can't put my finger on the problem and I don't really have time to spin around in circles right now. I'm sure it's probably something simple and I can't put my finger on it though. Sleep deprivation is new to me.......
I've kept running log of notes so this is a little deshoveled but I figured the more information I provide the better the chance someone might help me get this solved quickly.
In the last week, since my sons birth, my internet speeds would be okay after restarts and resetting everything, 2.5 Mbps or so but after a 10-15 minutes it starts to slow down to .2-.3 Mbps. I went thru all my network settings, restarted everything, repaired permissions, I've changed ethernet cables reset PRAM, firewall is running, stealth mode enabled, allow signed software incoming connections and my various other programs such as netsessionmac4f3c6b, skype, java, itunes, etc.
All sharing services off and pretty basic login items at startup including growl.
I had AT&T come out and check my DSL line and everything checked out on their end up to and out of the DSL modem based in their equipment tests.
The problem seems to start when I connect my imac (a fairly loaded 27" imac I got in Dec.) First off, as soon as the imac is connected to the modem via ethernet, the old ethernet modem flashes and continues to flash, even right after startup. So the tech thought something was running in the background and I can't figure out what. I looked through login items but don't see anything that would be a problem and am afraid to eliminate everything.
So I created a guest account to eliminate any login items (I think) and in I got 5.69 Mbps right off the bat. But after a minute or two, without changing anything my download speed slows down and I get for example .77 Mbps. The same thing happens with my administrator account on the imac. Fast speeds at startup and more importantly if I change the configuration by switching between ethernet and airport, I get fast speeds right after changing the configuration but after a minute or two I am well below 1.0 Mbps. I've got several network configurations with automatic, airport and ethernet set up in different ways including a clean ethernet connection with the original DNS settings.
I haven't set up an airport only account but that really isn't the way I want to hook up the computer that sits right next to the modem and runs my network. Restarting the old modem and direct connecting the computer to the modem results in the same thing happening.
I connected my ethernet from the (old?) modem directly to my ancient powerbook G4 and I got +5.6 Mbps download but it also slowed down to 300 kbps after 5 minutes or so the first time (old modem?)
Now to explain why I have "old?" listed above. I was then able to get a new DSL modem from AT&T, hook it up just fine, get enormously faster internet service in the 5,000 kbps only to have it slow back down to around 300 kpbs after connected for several minutes.
directly connected to imac-bypassing router
3,500 kbps
after 15 minutes-250 kbps
connected to imac thru router/time capsule with airport extreme
2500 kbps
after 15 minutes=166 kbps
directly connected to an older powerbook G4 with new modem
IP address of 192.168.1.64
5.65 Mbps on speedtest
after 15 minutes=5.67 Mbps
after 30 minutes= 5.59 Mbps
1 hour-5.66 Mbps
Very solid, stable readings for what I am used to. This would seem to isolate the problem to the imac.
directly connected to imac with new modem
IP address of 192.168.1.64
5.8 Mbps on speedtest
after 30 minutes= .60 Mbps-ping takes 250 ms
1 hour= .46 Mbps-ping takes 250 ms
Now a problem that only started last night after I hooked up the new modem and started up my old Time capsule/airport configuration, I got a message that said something to effect of "another device on this network is using computer IP address 192.168.1.64. So I tried manually changing last digit of the IP address on the computer to one number higher and it kept saying the start and end range were incorrect so I shut the airport station down since when it was connected, it would not allow the computer to connect thru the router via ethernet. I did a hard reset on the airport and I got it back up and running just fine but the internet speeds on the imacs' ethernet connections are so slow it's practically worthless. I also checked to see what was connected to my airport on any given occasion, 2 iphones, 2 pads, another imac running upstairs and a newer powerbook running icam source that is supposed to be the baby monitor. Except for the laptop everything can use "802.11n" but the powerbook only connects via 802.11g so I have set the airport to that limiting setting.
Any suggestions? Is there a way for me to log what is happening so I can report in more detail?

First thing is to check if the wireless is on a sensible channel: HomeHub doesn't always make sensible choices. Install inSSIDer on your laptop and see what other devices there are around and if there is any clash. Also, try moving the HomeHub around a little, even quite small differences can make a big difference to wireless signals.
You could run an ethernet cable from downstairs to upstairs. Easy to do, but can be a bit unsightly. If most of your devices are upstairs, you could use this cable to connect the modem to the HomeHub. If you have devices both up and down, you may want to keep the HomeHub downstairs and add a switch upstairs.
HomePlug may be suitable for you. If you search Amazon for HomePlug you will see a couple of kits for just over £30. Don't go for an 85Mbps one. A 200Mbps such as the TP-link or D-Link should be much better than wireless, but not as good as a cable.
Depending excatly how many devices you want to connect and where, you can pay more and have a builtin wireless at one end: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Devolo-1408-Wireless-N-HomePlug-Adapter/dp/B00472MMCQ/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qi... Or it may be best for you to use the basic devices and add an old wireless router in switch mode.

After updating to 10.6.8 internet browsing very slow

After doing the update 10.6.8 internet browsing became very slow on safari, chorme and firefox. Is there a solution to this problem.

Had the same problem
I then added some DNS servers to my network configuration and now speed is back to normal (pre 10.6.8)
This is how to add DNS servers
Find some IP address of a DNS server either from your Internet Provider or use one or more of these:
http://theos.in/windows-xp/free-fast-public-dns-server-list/
Test one or more DNS IP addresses by using nslookup
Open terminal (cmd + space type terminal)
In the terminal type
nslookup nasa.org 12.13.14.15
where 12.13.14.15 is the DNS IP server address you want to test
If it works it will respond:
Server:        192.168.1.1
Address:    192.168.1.1#53
Name:    nasa.org
Address: 208.73.210.48
Now add one or more valid DNS IP address to the network settings:
In Systems settings / Network / Advanced choose the DNS tab
Press the + button and type the IP address of a valid DNS server
Press OK and then Apply
Now your browser should be back to its usual speed :-)

Safari suffering slow down when browsing Facebook

Morning everyone,
Well what can i say, the title says it all.
When browsing Facebook with Safari (version 6.0.1) after about 10 minutes or so, Safari becomes very unresponsive, massive slow down, freezing, beachballing etc, any other sites im on whilst the Facebook tab is open also suffers too,
I use google chrome and its absolutely fine, so 2+2 being 5, im guessing its an issue with my Safari, maybe an installed plug in or something.
Any help resolving this would be greatly appreciated.
Its on a Macbook Pro Retina running ML 10.8.2
(Bit new to the mac so please be gentle ;-))
thanks
Scotty
