Drops randomly in internet speeds on wifi devices

Hello

I got an Airport Extreme of 2nd generation (currently with firmware version 7.6.7) for many years before I upgraded to the newer model (6th generation - currently with the firmware 7.7.7) a few months ago. The old model, always worked, so I put up as a range extender. This facility has functioned well until recently I have began to experience drops in the download speeds of 5 to 30 Mbps on my iPhone and the Macbook Air, when should I achieve speeds of 90 Mbps. sometimes drops just connection completely as well. I can do speeds back to normal, if I have the device temporarily forget the network, and then I join it. I do not get these drops in connection on my Mac Mini, which is connected to the 6th generation Airport Extreme by ethernet. Is there anything I can do in the Airport utility to remedy this situation, or y at - it another utility application I should download to diagnose the problem (I found an app that could help called Wifi Explorer -https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wifi-explorer/id494803304?mt=12) or is the most likely problem with the hardware?

Thank you

Matthew

We need to know if the extreme old is configured as a roaming network... IE using extreme new ethernet or it is configured as a wireless extension.

The original AE and the second... check the basis of EI... both are the A1143... is only single 2.4 ghz band or 5 GHz... they are NOT simultaneous dual-band.

What installation speed can be extremely (sic) low... The old AE is really too old to be useful when combined with the newest one... you could just ask questions.

If you need to extend wireless, then in Airport utility, hover your mouse over where it says unknown.

This will give you the connection of the connection speed... I expect here very poor speeds and the actual file transfer speed will be a 1/3-1/4 of this link speed.

Some details that I just put in another post.

    My pro iPad connects to the WIFI, but loses connectivity to drops in use.  My other IOS devices (iPhone, macbook, etc.) do not have this problem.  Ideas to solve?

    Hello BrooklynWM!

    I definitely want my iPad to stay connected to the Wi - Fi connection while I use it.  Thanks for posting that other iOS and OS X devices have no problem with the connectivity dropping.  We can try a few things.

    Would first go through the steps listed in this article: If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch connects to a Wi-Fi - Apple Support Network

    Then if it does not help, you can check network settings with this: recommended for the WiFi routers and access - points Apple supported

    After trying those, if you still see the drop connectivity, make sure the iPad Pro is updated with iOS 9.3.2 and check to see if the connection when you are in a certain place, time, or one event happening elsewhere in the House.

    Best regards.

  • What happens if my speed (airport) wifi is fast but my initial internet is slow?

    I plan to purchase an Airport Express.

    I understand that it will increase my network speed, but it will also stimulate my internet connection?

    No, the AirPort Express cannot receive a signal and make it go faster.  The Express will provide the Internet speed that provides your modem, so the maximum speed of the Internet that provides your network will be limited by the plan you have with your Internet service provider.

  • download time about 4 hours, but the internet speed is good - 30mbps.

    My Apple TV takes 3 or 4 hours to download a rented movie. But my internet speed is good - 30Mbps. Internet high speed is not the problem. What is?

    Intermittent problems are often the result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the area of or household electric goods.

    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but won't make iStumbler household items.

    Refer to your router manual to know how to change your wifi channel or adjust your pace of multicast.

    There are other types of problems that can affect the networks, but it is by far the most common, so note the first. We see networks that have inherent problems work differently with different versions of the same software. You can also try to move the Apple TV away from other electrical devices.

    The following article can help you.

  • Speed up wifi on Aspire E1-532

    Just bought a laptop computer and disappointed by the speed of the SLOW wifi.  I get superfast internet with wired ethernet cable so I know the problem is with the wifi card. I tried to tweak the settings, but it does not help.

    Does anyone got fast wifi by turning off the Qualcomm wireless card in the laptop and install a 3 rd-party wifi adapter that plugs into a USB port, as perhaps a Linksys AE1200?

    Did she help?

    Matt, you're right about your problem, my e1-510 uses an AR-956 x and the best connection rate I could get was 72 MB on my network, so long as it remained stable which is just one more question, I had an old adapter belkin usb N of 2009 I tried to use a windows driver 7 on Windows 8.1 and I had a connection stable 150 MB which is not bad because that's what it was designed to do so I tried a dlink AC usb and now I connect to 433 MB and everything goes smoothly, all what I do was disable the AR956X driver and use the power adapter of dlink, wasn't sure if the deactivation of the pilot would the bluetooth, but it's not like my nexus 5 always connect via bluetooth without any problem , should point out my router is a router Linksys AC, and since you have a router AC you can use a usb adapter, the AE1200 is an N class adapter that will work, but using an AC adapter, you should achieve a best speed of connection to your router for about the same cost as my Dlink AC costs $30 and with your connection internet speed to what they are You should see better streaming.

    My opinion is that the Qualcomm AR956x is a very bad quality wifi, probably used chip cost dear to give wifi connection practical research on the web page of Qualcomm that you won't see again listed the driver updates, you must go to the web page 3rd part to get an update.

    In all, I'd go with a usb adapter, only loss lost a usb port, but you will get a better connection speed.

  • When I check my internet speed on mobile, it doesn't show any flash drive. What should do?

    When I check through speedtest.net internet speed statistics it shows properly on the laptop. But when I do the same thing for my cell phone, it doesn't quite work. In fact, it does not at all. My cell phone is capable of running games flash and access other sites like Neeraj Kulkarni blog and Yahoo which require flash player to run correctly. What is the reason? Help, please.

    Hello

    Flash Player is not supported on mobile devices (Android, Blackberry, iOS, Windows Phone).  See Adobe Flash Player | Technical for supported operating systems and browsers.

    If speedtest.net requires Flash Player then he's not going to work.  It is possible that other sites you mention have deployed solutions for Flash Player on mobile.

  • Slow internet speed because of the Marvell Yukon LAN driver

    Hi all!

    I'm a newbie here so don't know if I'm supposed to ask this question here but anyway, hope, my problem is solved somehow.

    I'm on a Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop computer, I received last week and everything works well except my internet speed, its too slow. I'm on a 10 Mbps plan but my speed is no where near that. I get speeds close to 200 kb/s at 300 KB/s max. After some googleing I got to know that the Marvell Yukon LAN driver is the problem here.

    According to some Internet sites, we are supposed to roll back the driver to a previous version, I did it, but speed still does not pass. I have tried almost all the things I can do, but nowhere so far. I called my ISP, they say that everything is rosy on the other hand, ran the scan of Norton Antivruis on this computer, the firewall disabled, and the list is long but nothing.

    It would be great if someone could help me out here.

    Thanks in advance...

    Hello

    checked your connection with another computer, if the problem persists try with another machine?

    Would be really interesting... If not I suggest you to reclaim your machine to 'default '. Maybe it's solved something.
    Another idea would be to remove the service from the "Qos" (quality of service) of your network connection, which hardly slows down the connection for software reasons.

    Please give some feedback and please tell me what system you´re using (Vista, XP)

    Good bye

    Hello

    : D you can not increase the speed of the internet!
    It depends on your internet service provider and only the ISP can increase!
    If you have some problems with the speed of data transfer, I recommend contacting your internet service provider!

    Good bye

  • Connection of slow internet speed of Time capsule

    I have a time Capsule airport of 5th generation 2 TB (802.11 AC) and a modem TP - LINK TD - 8816 ADSL2 (bridged) connected to the TC. In recent weeks, a very slow internet connection has been detected (get the go-ahead in TC and airport utility)

    Of course, I started by judging my ISP but then realizes that configuration back to the modem for PPPoE over Ethernet, the connection achieved expected quotient of internet speed.

    I have reset the TC back to the default settings (to erase all of the current settings) and set it up again with the new and cool settings. Same results.

    For the record: I have experienced same speed slow results at the TC test by wireless or ethernet connections.

    Airport Time Capsule is running 7.7.3

    MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, end 2013) OS X El Capitan 10.11.3

    I came back to use the modem router Zyxel provided by my ISP with internet high speed optimal but misses my TC!

    Thanks in advance for your support.

    I'm in the same boat... There is something seriously wrong with the TC in PPPOE mode. And nothing you can do that on it. Apple has all the controls available in the outside world.

    I got around it by using a modem router or other router between modem bridged and TC.

    In the end I put the TC in static IP mode, and it worked very well with another router.

  • Only use as a wifi device

    I have a Droid 4 that will not let me restart it without a neat sim. I want to only use it as a wifi device, especially when I'm banging long emails etc. How to past the screen that says "do not use this device without a sim card?

    If you are to the language screen then tells me that the phone has not been activated because it was reset last. The phone must be activated in order to go beyond the implementation of screens. Once enabled, then you can remove the SIM card and use the phone as a single wireless device. I hope this helps.
