  • Why is it not my wireless network download speed is much slower with the wifi only direct connection?

    When I run a speed test using WIFI download speed is much lower than that when I cnnectfrom the modem direct to my pc.

    Hi CHERYLA106,
     
    WiFi uses the wireless connection, this is normal behavior.
     
    In the wired connection, there is no interference and the signal strength will be good. Therefore, you will find good speed with the wired connection.

    Thanks for the reply.

    I suggest you contact the Internet service provider and check if they help to resolve the issue.

    I SOLVED the problem...
    In my sandbox, I 'Wireless Network Connection 3' and "RTL8187B is linked to something".

  • Internet provider DOWNLOAD speed vs Airport Extreme

    Hello

    I had download speeds slow on my Airport Extreme for ipad, iPhone and imac.

    I have a modem connected via Ethernet cable to an ac Airport Extreme 802.11 Optimum.

    Ran to the application of speed test on my ipad II (within 5 feet of the airport).

    The results showed that the download is only 2.12mbps and upload is 24.97mbps. I pay for the 50mbps service.

    I tried the same thing by using a new iPhone SE and timed to 22,93 download and upload to 23.95. A little better but still not enough good.

    I contacted Optimum and they ran a couple of tests showing that my modem is online, signals are ideal, there is no loss of data to the modem and there is no failure in the region.

    They recommended connect a laptop directly to the router and without going through the airport. Will try it tonight to see the results.

    Assuming that the connection of the cable between the modem and the laptop is fast, what I can do to improve the speed of the WiFi?

    There is something to put in place at the airport? I guess there will be a reduction in speed between wired devices and WiFi but not this bad. What is the maximum number of devices (iphones, ipads or imacs) airport can support? I have at least 6 or more WiFi sharing schemes and wonder if this is the problem.

    Thank you

    Bob

    Please read using the Diagnostics wireless for you help to solve the problems of Wi-Fi on your Mac - Apple Support.

    What is the maximum number of devices (iphones, ipads or imacs) airport can support?

    Apple recommends 50. I got that three dozen sharing an Apple base station AirPort simultaneously with no noticeable performance degradation.

    The factor limiting the bandwidth will be the most restrictive of what follows, in no particular order:

    • your ISP
    • your local wireless environment, including other interference and competing wireless networks
    • the performance of the client machine
    • out of your control network conditions

    Your AEBS will not limit the bandwidth, but if you have reason to believe that it is, a "hard reset" is the only possible troubleshooting step. On rare occasions, an internal parameter becomes corrupted and this is the only way to fix it. By 'rare', I mean "almost never" and the last thing you should consider, after rule out all other possible causes of poor wireless performance.

  • LAN download speed is very slow on Satellite C650D-108

    Hey guys,.

    I have a problem with my laptop Toshiba C650D-108.
    First of all, my English is bad a little... Sorry for that.

    My download via Ethernet speed is very very slowly (20 kb/s), but via a WLAN, I have 14MB per second! The pilot and the windows are new and reinstalled. Cable Ethernet etc are fine. Download via Ethernet AND wireless LAN speed is perfect (16 MB per second)

    But why? Please help me!

    Thanks in advance!

    Welcome them

    Hello

    How can you check the download speed where you download something? Have you tested different browsers and the different webspaces where you can download files?

    Usually the download speed depends on your connection Internet and not the type of connection (WLAN/LAN).

    In any case, perhaps the LAN driver update would be useful. Simply visit the Web from Toshiba site and reinstall the LAN driver.

  • DigitalRiver download speed is very slow

    I am trying to download an ISO of Windows 7 premium 64-bit - but the speed is ridiculous - 35 Kbps - an estimated time of 12 hours

    Is this correct?

    Alternatives?

    Its possible that DigitalRiver is download speed limitation because many people download it from there.

    Unfortunately, there is no alternative. Nowhere else is probably dangerous to download from. Digital River is the official site for downloads.

    You should probably get a download manager and use it to perform the download.

  • Why are my download speeds so slow with flag and windows 7. My dell inspiron becomes 10-13 mb

    Pavilion dm1

    REF ly133av

    [Redacted] SN

    Windows 7 operating system

    This Pavilion is brand new and only get like . 2 Mbps of speedtest.net. The download speed is normal, but the dwnload speed is terrible. Now, I still have my old computer sitting here and it is on the same network WIFI get 10 to 15 Mbps of speedtest. It's a dell inspiron with windows vista. This must be a matter of hardware/software. I saw many posts to ask this question but I havnt seen the answers. Please tell me you can help...



    -Ray

    All,

    I have this SAME problem.  I just bought my m6 Pavilion three days previously and immediately noticed that the download speed is very slow.  In addition, a lot of things people recommend this site do take into account that the laptops are brand new, the parameters are already factory installation and things are not running in the background whenever we try to download.  And just like the original - poster I have my old laptop awkward, almost dead here and it's the things download 5 times faster than my new laptop.

    Also, I found another post online from a user in HP Pavilion, who bought a new laptop and this is the slow download.

    So taking all this into account, a PERSON LOGIC CAN CONSLUDE THAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH the computer PORTABLE PAVILION.  Yes, is there an employee HP mans this site who can lift this problem and come back with the official HP answer to why this problem occurs?  I will definiately go online and noted the low ratings sites flag if I don't get an adequate response.

    My internet connection is slow. Downloads at 25-52 kb/s. How do I speed it up. Flag p2-1033w. Windows 7 64-bit.

    Scientists, welcome to the forum.

    It is a problem that could be better solved by your ISP.  They have an incentive to keep you happy.

    I use CenturyLink DSL.  I'm supposed to download to 7Mbps.  However, most of the time it's around 5 Mbps.  Whenever it drops below this figure, I reboot the modem and if this does not help, call the Customer Service at the CL.  They perform part of their magic and it works well again until the next time.  Of course, they make me jump through hoops to make sure that it is not my computer at the origin of the problem.

  • Download speed very slow on the wired Ethernet connection

    I am currently getting 200 Mbps down and 0.3 MB/s on my desk wired Ethernet connection. I should get 200 down and 20 upwards.

    • On my wireless adapter on the same router, I have ~ 18 Mbit/s to the top and about 15 Mbit/s down, which seems that the wireless adapter works fine.
    • I plugged in another computer with the same cable on the same router port and got the full speed (200/20), then the problem lies within my computer.
    • I made a transfer of files to and from my computer to another computer connected to the same router and I got the full speed Gigabit times come and go.

    I searched high and wide on the internet and forums, and that many people have had the same problem I have, nothing of the multitude of solutions worked for me.

    That's what I tried without success:

    • Uninstalled the Ethernet card, deleted the drivers, forcing the new drivers to install again. No change of speed.
    • Carefully checked for Virus and malware programs (crossed the registry as well), but found nothing, and nothing has been installed recently other than windows updates.
    • The only antivirus I have is Windows Defender. I turned off and turned off the Windows Firewall, but speed did not improve.
    • I tried with IE, Chrome and Firefox, speed with different services and all tests show similar speeds. I also used FTP to a server I have, and the speeds were the same.
    • There is no other traffic devours bandwidth.

    So what I have gathered so far, it's that my Ethernet card works very slow only when downloading from the internet. Within my network, it works fine.

    What is a service that does not work well? If so who? I am not knowledgeable on the use of all services. I checked IPv4 and IPv6 and they both seem to be configured correctly, but I can't say that I am certain of what "correctly configured" is.

    These are my specs:

    HP Desktop H9 - 1215t

    Windows 7 Ultimate SP1

    32 GB OF RAM

    64 bit

    Chip Intel i7-3770

    Controller Atheros AR8161/8165 PCI - E Gigabit Ethernet (NDIS 6.20)

    I would really appreciate some help here because this problem I'm paralyzed.

    Thank you for your time,

    Tom

    By George, you got it!

    For someone who thinks he's good at Googling, I could sure use some improvements!

    The key has been the link to explanation. While I had been close to my tests, this for shows that even when you sort-of-one little-peut-be-think you know what you're doing to keep your legs unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing.

    The answer was definitely Large Send Offload, but it was a little more complicated, at least to understand what really happened. Neutralization of him gave the tour, but now I work with an active v2 and it works like a charm.

    I will detail what, in my opinion, happened here for those who may have similar problems so that they (you) may be able to figure out, as all cards are different and may require slightly different settings.

    I live in an area where so far the download speed over fast, I was able to get is 2 Mbps, on a good day, it's usually on average 1 ~ 1.5 Mbps. download speed is between 5 ~ 20 Mbit/s.

    I do a lot of video work and I constantly have to download large files on my servers. I got the computer described above about 8 months ago, and my Age (2 years) one remained on my home network.

    For a week or two, I was cursing my ISP because the internet was slower than usual and very glitch. I tested my speed and got 20 down and 0.2, repeatedly. So I went through the long and technology-challenged call representative to 'help' me, I was paying for 20/2. Only option was to wait a week for a technician to come out of my house, he stressed have shot my injurybut not before you ask me, that there are faster speeds to internet available in my place. 200/20 which is 10 times what I had, so of course I went with her. In doing so the representative asked me to Exchange my modem/router for a new handle faster speeds.

    When I replaced the modem/router, I found that the download speed went from 50/0.2 (after the new request speed but still with the old router) to 200/0.3~0.5 with the new router. I also had a Cisco E2000 router that I turned into a switch, which was also bogged down internet high speed (now that they have been much faster). But still the download speed has not really improved.

    This long and winding history is so that you (read this with a similar problem) might find the answer to your particular problem.

    Looking back when I said that the issue was in my computer because that became high speed was not quite accurate. The 'problem' was beyond my router, if the solution was in my settings with the LSO parameter. The 'problem' was not really a problem since what I see (guess) that's happened is that my ISP has been updated with equipment, and the settings on my new pc has become a problem while paradoxically not so in my old pc.

    My old pc equipped with a "Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller" and the IPv4 LSO parameter turned on, that she was no problem under the new set of circumstances ISP. 200 / 20 Mbit/s.

    Then when I compared the setting on my new computer, it never crossed my mind that the neutralization of him would solve the problem.

    My new pc has a Atheros AR8161/8165 controller PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet (NDIS 6.20). This adapter has a setting "IPv4 LSO" more setting "IPv4 LSO v2" and "IPv6 LSO v2" décor. I don't think that my ISP uses IPv6.

    In my quest to solve the problem, I placed all of the above settings to "Enabled", without success and in my fog don't reverse these settings.

    With the 3 off, it worked fine, but I got a 5 ~ 10% improvement on the download speed with the LSO IPv4 v2 enabled and the other disabled.

    There is no way representing the service provider on the phone could know this, so calling them would not / has not solved the problem. Even waiting a week for the technician most likely would not have solved the problem as it would be measured using a laptop full download and the download speeds.

    I'm sure this will become a problem most current internet speeds that House are starting to soar (thanks Google!), so I hope this helps those who have similar problems.

    To summarize:

    Click on start->Control Panel->Device Manager->network adapters-> your adapter name (mine is Atheros AR8152/8158 PCI - E Fast Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20), right click and select Properties. On the advance tab, find good Large Send Offload (IPv4) and change its value to disabled , and then click on OK.

    If you have a Large Send Offload (IPv4) v2 try to set that to enable (with either a handicapped of course).

    I hope this helps!

    And thank you George.
