• WiFi unstable and slow Internet high speed

  Hello world:

  Recently, I am facing a problem of unstable wifi, slow speed of the internet of my macbook pro. I hope someone could help me with my problem.

  
  

  Symptom:

  Internet mainly speed just unstable using a wifi connection. (no problem with wifi connection self and my wifi suddenly grave would not be)

  Example:

  • FaceTime with my friends and the connection would suddenly abandon or images & audio gets fuzzy.
  • Videos in online streaming and suddenly occurs buffering.
  • Download file of software update iPhone via iTunes, the speed is slow, he needed to take 2 h at the end and later on a window display "cannot download and check your internet connection".
  • Suddenly cannot open websites like site apple.com, google.com. Sometimes it will take more time to open Web sites.

  Hardware and software:

  MacBook Pro mid-2009, OS X EL Capitan 10.11.5

  ISP: Cox, 50Mbps

  Modem & router: Netgear N450

  Test:

  Turn off my wifi and connect my macbook pro with modem & router with cable, internet high speed is stable and fast. Internet speed download speed test result display is of around 60Mbps, download speed is around 8Mbps. And I tried streaming using the connection cable, there was no buffering.

  I already tried the possible Solutions:

  • Restart the Macbook pro and restart Modem & router: will not work. I mean the internet will be very well at first, but later would be unstable again.
  • Reset Wireless Modem & router and change channels: useful, but not completely solve the problem. After you change the wireless channel, I tested my internet speed and the result showing 20-40Mbps (slower than 60mbps) speed download. Sometimes, the result will be like 6-8Mbps and sometimes it will be 60Mbps. If its unstable.
  • Wireless diagnosis: result indicates connection is good.
  • Called my ISP provider: they checked and said all right.

  
  

  Other Questions & details:

  • The internet is ok for most of the time. But when all of a sudden I can't open site or I can't download and streaming & FaceTime at normal speed, his frustration.
  • I thought it might be related to my hardware since its an old macbook pro. I can't run Apple hardware test because I don't have the installation disc more and my macbook pro is very old. Is it a third party software that can perform the test hardware on mac?
  • My wifi used to be very stable and I don't have to worry. Just for these last two weeks.

  
  

  
  

  I really appreciate your time and help! Looking forward to any reply!

• Internet high speed decreased after installing Windows 8.1

  Dear guys, I installed Windows 8.1 on my laptop HP Pavilion G6 2241sa.

  Everything is perfect, I downloaded all the drivers, internet works fine BUT I noticed that the speed of my broadband a few minutes down from 80%. My broadband speed is 30meg to bottom/30 megs.

  Download speed is reduced to 2-3megs, but upload speed remains the same...

  My Network (displayed in the Device Manager) card is AR9485 of Qualcom Atheros 802.11b/g/n wifi adapter.

  When I uninstall, Windows automatically detects and installs back. Internet high speed returns to normal, but after a few minutes or maybe 10 12 minutes speed drops back down, until the speed remains unchanged... I removed it 10 times, even tried to reinstall all the ralink drivers for win 8 or Win8.1, but Windows says I have the perfect driver and that it does not install anything else. I removed just in case antivirus, does not work. I checked the speed on the other computer - no problem there, but on my laptop it persists. On Windows 7, I didn't have this problem, it started after Win 8.1.   If you could please help me fix. Thank you very much. Lives

  OK, this is my last post on this topic because I think I solved the problem.

  I thought it was Windows 8.1 to blame, but I finally installed Windows 7. Internet was excellent, but after I installed all the latest drivers of the site Web of AMD (Amd catalyst, video driver, etc.), down speed was limited to 2 to 2.5 Mbps.

  I used the system restore and Internet working again. I decided to check again, and after that I installed again the pile of last softward to Amd, I had problem once again. Prolem is therefore up to the latest version of the AMD software. Do not know exacctly what part, perhaps things like AMD stream or similar. I also believe that this issue includes my modem that does not like to communicate with my computer that has these last things AMD.

  Anyway, thanks for reading. My internet gives me full speed and I am happy with that. I just create a system restore point before updating to new drivers from the site Web of AMD. It's easy to go back. A big thanks to everyone! Lives

• Comcast Internet high speed

  Woman (who visits the sites of plants with lots of photos) growls a lot about slow Internet

  We have phone Qwest & DSL in Vancouver WA, and speed ONLY we're currently offered is 1.5MBSec... faster than access remotely, but still not so great for photo pages intensive (or these forums I visit!)

  Qwest "says" they're working on upgrades to the network and "someday" we will be offered from 7MBSec up to 20 or more... but not that I talked to Qwest nobody any idea when this will actually happen

  So... without taking into account TV (we have DirecTV) or by phone (I'm not sure that their phone service will work with our fax) I told my wife to call Comcast and see how fast they CLAIM to offer and at what price

  Thinking that Comcast Internet high speed will be the same everywhere... who has Comcast for Internet and how fast they are in practice?

  Comcast speed vary according to the time of day (other users) or their system still offers their 'power '?

  I don't think that saying to stop complaining to make good

  Alas, it never does.

• Internet high speed only is not what it should be

  I have ThinkPad R60e, with Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet adapter. I guess I've always had a problem with internet high speed, but I did my best to ignore it until now. Any plan the supplier announced, I've always had a tenth only speed, download and send. I used to blame it on them, but now I changed the provider and the problem persists. So I researched what other users with the same plan, and they become quite at announced rates. So I guess there must be something wrong with the settings. Advertising plan up to 2 Mbps download and 200 kbps upload. What I get on practice is maximum of 200 kbps download and on average 20 Kbps upwards. Help, please! It is most annoying.

  I forgot to add, I use Windows XP, the problem for most with Ethernet connection since I use it the most. But wireless seems to act in a similar way.

  How will you measure your network speed.  Any chance that your bandwidth meter reports bytes/sec instead of bps?

  Sorry, I had to ask (Zoltan ducks for cover...)

• Slow, Internet high speed, if I connect to my desktop via router WRVS4400N PC

  I bought a Cisco WRVS4400N. Which is highly recommended by my friend IT. In my office, I have a local telecommunications fiber-optic connection, which is 100 Mbps download and upload 40Mbps.

  If I connect to the Internet taken directly into the computer, it flyes to 100 Mbps when I test on speedtest.net. When I connect to internet with the Cisco router and therefore farther from router on my desktop, it slows down to 25Mbps. I think there should be some sort of restriction inside the modem configuration. I don't know how to overcome it. Perhaps someone knows how to remove all the distracting security and other setings from inside my Cisco have the full flow of the internet.

  Thanks, Martin

  Martynas salvation. You can go to the Cisco Small Business Support Community to discuss the WRVS4400N as they now manage this device.

• Internet high speed & 1stgen AirportExpress

  Recently I upgraded my internet speed to 150Mbps. using my (model A1264) 1stGen Airport Express, I am only able to get 50Mbps to my office. My iMac is at short range with my router. My internet is slow speed b/c my Express is outdated? A new Express will allow me received the speeds I have upgraded to or is a desperate need? On the 2nd floor, there is an another desktop or home that connects to the internet regularly (teenage son online games).

  The 1 st Gen AirPort Express and 2nd Gen AirPort Express have only 100 Mbit/s Ethernet ports, so in theory, it would be the top speed that the Express could never offer.

  To the extent where wireless is concerned, 50 - 60 Mbps would be what to expect from an AirPort Express which is provided a 100 Mbps connection, since he has never been known for its performance wireless... primarily because of a small simple antennas buried in the product.

  A new AirPort Extreme has 1 000 Mbps Ethernet ports and the much higher speed wireless capability... (six wireless antennas all located towards the top at the top of the "tower")... which would be the product to try if you want to stay with a router from Apple.  At Apple, and you buy a 14 day no questions asked return guarantees, so if the product does not wait, it may be returned for credit or refund.

• 2 different laptops wireless internet high speed

  We have two laptops in the House, but get very different wireless speed on the

  My wife has an Acer 5742z with 3 GB of RAM and WiFi Nplify802.11b/g/n

  I have an Acer 5750 with 6 GB of RAM and the same wireless connection

  Both are less than 6 months

  We run the same programs

  We have a Netgear N150 router

  My wife Gets the excellent speed of wireless internet throughout the House.

  I can't get decent speed when I'm in the same room as the router.

  When we arrived first the router I got the right speed, but it deteriorated recently.

  So far, I tried the following command to improve things;

  -System restore

  -Router reset

  -Repositioning of the router

  -Virus scans etc.

  -Diagnostics of Windows Internet - apparently working normally

  If anyone has any suggestions of anu on what could be wrong and how to fix it, I would be very grateful

  Thank you

  Hello Paul,

  See the Microsoft article and look at step 6: "Change your wireless channel"
  http://www.Microsoft.com/athome/Setup/wirelesstips.aspx
  You will need to connect to your router and change the wireless channel that it operates on.
  There may be interference affecting your computer, but not your wife.
  If you need assistance to change the settings of the router, you will need to contact your router manufacturer or your internet service provider.

• scvhost.exe netsvcs high memory (1 GB or higher) and slows down the pc

  We have seen several cases in our business where scvhost.exe - the netsvcs used a large amount of memory on computers. I understand that many services under this one. We cleaned wbem folder to see if that fixes it, but also erased the event logs and have not seen a will. What is strange, is that even on a system with 4 GB of ram, even if netsvcs uses 1.5 GB of ram and the system uses 1 GB that leaves 1.5 GB available. I do not understand why windows will slow down to so much to become sometimes unusable if it still has 1.5 GB of ram available. The processor is very well. I've had people restart and he made disappear one day, sometimes 2 or even a week before it slips back to the top. Under the resource monitor if I highlight scvhost - netsvcs on the memory tab, it does not divide which is to use it. I can go to the disk tab and highlight it and I can see which processes are slot there for what is written on the disc, don't know if this is useful, but in the diagnosis.  Any thoughts?

• Internet high speed falls 85% when it is routed via WRT160NL

  I have a WRT160NL, and it decreases my internet speed of 3700 Kbps up to 550 Kbps when I walk by it.

  My ADSL modem is connected via an ethernet cable to the WRT160NL, then I have an ethernet cable from port the WRT160NL #1 to my desktop. With this connection, I get a download of about 550 kbit/s.

  When I route directly from my ADSL modem to my office (bypassing the WRT160NL) my download speed is 3700 Kbps. I checked all the cables and connections. What is the origin down to 85% of the speed?

  Thank you

  When you face the problem on your wired computer, you change the settings of your router... Once you log in to the router configuration page... The installation program you will find the MTU size that will be set to AUTOMATIC if you need to change it to manual and change the size of 1500 in 1365 and click on save settings... Click on the Security tab and disable "SPI Firewall" and uncheck "Filter anonymous Internet requests" and click on save settings...

  Now, you must power cycle your network... Disconnect the power from the router and Modem, wait 30 seconds, then reconnect the power to the Modem, once all the lights are the cover on the Modem, then connect the power supply to the Linksys router...

  Now, you can check the speed, the speed you get it on your computer...

  If you are still having the same problem then I think that you need to update the firmware on your router... Go to the Web site template linksysbycisco.com/downloads...insert in your serach tab... select the correct version of your router router... Download the firmware file... save this file on the desktop...

  Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware of the device: -.
  Open a page in Internet Explorer browser on a computer hard wired to the router... In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1... Leave name empty username & password admin lowercase usage...
  Click the 'Administration' tab - then click on the 'Upgrade Firmware' under the tab-here, click on 'Browse' and navigate the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
  Wait a few seconds until it shows that "the update is successful," after the upgrade of the firmware, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned to the same page OR it will say 'cannot display the Page.

  Now reset your router:
  Press and hold the button of reset for 30 seconds... Release the reset button... Unplug the power cable from your router, wait 30 seconds and reconnect the power cable... Now re - configure your router...

• Apple express slows internet high speed

  I have an express Apple that I tried to use it to extend my wireless network.  When a computer connects to the network through the Apple Express my internet speed falls from 65mps to 10mps.  Why this is happening and how it stop?

  Your 'main' router is an Apple product?  We ask, because the AirPort Express Terminal "spread" or "repeat" signal wireless from another router from Apple.  The Express "not run" the wireless to a third-party router.

• Question re: parameters of the Optimal high-speed (slow Internet) wireless adapter

  Hi, I recently bought a Dell XPS 8500. The wireless card is a Dell 1703 wireless 802.11b/g/n (2,4 Ghz). Initially the computer wouldn't connect to wireless networks, however after you have reset all used to things (ip, TCP/IPv4 and 6 configurations) and ensuring that the pilots were all the I unchecked the box TCP/IPv6 and I changed the configuration of the wireless adapter and I could connect to my network... about 1/10th of the usual speed. I was wondering if anyone had an idea or optimal for the wireless network card or what settings than to change settings to get my usual download / upload speeds? I have 2 laptops and a desktop computer at home that run on the same router without any problems about 12 Mbps.

  The wireless router that I use is an AVM Fritz! 7930 box.
  I'm not sure if the problem is a Windows 7 problem or a hardware problem.
  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  What do you mean by referring to "reset the usual stuff"? Could make you it more clear?

  You can try to perform a system restore and see if it helps.

  System Restore can return programs and system files from your PC to a time where everything worked, potentially prevent hours of troubleshooting of headaches. It will not affect your documents, images or other data.

  Please see the link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/features/system-restore

  I also suggest you to read this article for more information on optimal configuration of wireless in Windows.

• Airport Extreme 7,7,7 drop connection and internet high speed

  My Airport Extreme (6th generation) have had the serious problems of the internet, as said in the title I had problems with my internet connection, I checked if that was the problem of the modem to the beginning (D3.0 Ubee) which was provided by my Internet, Charter provider.

  I've had Airport Extreme for almost a year to 2 years now and since then, I had no problem with my internet until 7.7.7 update came.

  I updated my firmware and this is where my random internet connection problem started.

  My current contract with the Charter are their 60 Mbps (download speed) and 4 Mbps (download speed), during the first days since I've updated 7.7.7 connections was fine and then my internet has started to decline since a means 50-60 Mbps (download speed) to 0.1 - 2 mb/s (download speed), my download speed has remained a constant 3-4 MB/s (download speed). I have tried and used Opendns several times, he really did nothing.

  I tried to turn off both modem and Airport extreme for a couple of minutes and turn on their return, but he does nothing and just refers to an extremely slow speed.

  The only way I found to fix my problem to get my internet to 0.1 - 2 mb/s (download speed) back to its original state, I find myself to be a restore return settings on the Airport Extreme with my Airport utility by default whenever the problem returns (which contributes to a certain degree as it gets my back up to 50 internet-60 MB/s) then he drops down again).

  I wanted to restore to 7.7.6 or the latest version of previous firmware before 7.7.7 (not too sure what version of firmware, it was) but I can't find how to spend my Airport extreme to my Airport utility.

  My question is what could I do to fix this problem if the decommissioning of my extreme (I need instructions with this too), change some settings, get rid of the * thing and get a new router, or am I stuck resetting to the parameter by default whenever she acts upward.

  I use windows 10 for my laptop

  Thank you for your time

  Unfortunately, the first question that you encountered is the AirPort for Windows utility has not been updated since Windows 7. In addition, it is not supported for use with the 802.11ac latest versions of airport base stations. Then downgrade to earlier versions of the firmware for base station can be difficult, unless you can get hold of a Mac or iOS device.

  If you are ready to test Windows 10, here are the steps to do:

  • Open the AirPort for Windows utility.
  • Select the base and then station in the utility menu bar, select the access point > Download Firmware...
  • Click on the Download Version dialog box, where the current version of the firmware is listed.
  • You should now see a list of the firmware versions that are available.
  • Click on the one you want to get off at.
  • Choose either 'continue' to continue with the downgrade, OR click 'Cancel' If you decide not to do so.
  • If you choose to continue, allow the firmware to be downloaded, installed and the base station to turn.
