MacBook Pro :: How To Find Ethernet Transmit Rate
Jun 30, 2014
Is there a way to find an Ethernet Transmit Rate? I'm running a Mid 2010 Macbook Pro. For example, to find the wifi transmit rate, I know I can hold down OPTION and click on the wifi icon in the menu bar and view various wifi specs in the pane that drops down. I also know how to look up LINK SPEED via Network Utility > info > ethernet/wifi, etc....Â
Is there even such a thing as an ethernet transmit rate, or am I creating my own vocabulary?

I've been following this forum for quite some time after I first got an iPod touch and, recently, an MBP "17.Now, after I did some searches on the internet and couldn't find the answer, Im asking here:My MBP comes with a built-in draft-n wireless card. I bought a draft-n wireless router just for the purpose of utilizing greater wi-fi speeds, but there is one thing I noticed:when I boot MacOS and connect to the wireless network it shows me, tat the transmit rate of the network is 130 (Mbps I presume), on the other hand, when I boot to Windows (via Bootcamp) and connect to the same network - it shows a network speed of 280 Mbps. In both cases the transfer speed are relatively close and go up to 8-9 Megabytes per second.

Having enormous troubles with using Wifi on my MP. I've had this before and it's a PITA.The transmit rate just drops to 1 (it should be up in the 90s shouldn't it?) Is there any known fix? I'm using Leopard. Should I upgrade to Snow Leopard? Does this solve it?

My 2.4 ghz IMac is showing a transmit rate of only 78 on our wireless network while my Macbook seems to work fine in the same location with a rate of 130. Is there any way to increase the speed or is their something wrong with my airport, should be faster. When selecting the option key and clicking on the aiport symbol it shows the following data.
0:8b:5d:af:35:22
Channel 3
RSSI: -72
Transmit Rate: 78
Out router is a BT Home hub, while the modem attached to it is an Echolife HG-612.

I just picked up the 2TB and I have a few questions about it. I also just recently talked to a buddy of mine that has the 500 or 1TB version of the TC, but it seems that the setup/options are a little different. For example I would like to just use the TC as N only on the 5Ghz band, but it doesn't allow for me to do that. I can check a box for the 5Ghz but it doesn't specify to use the N band only. The "transmit rate" is different as well. Now, I can only select low, med or high instead of 6mb, 10mb etc. What is the transmit rate and what can I do to optimize the TC for optimal performance? I wish I could screen share with someone so I can figure this out.

How can I find out what my transfer rate is for ethernet and wireless. I switched over to Time Capsule and all N network?
Also, how can you tell if you have the gigabyte cable or the regular cat 5 cable?

I just went through a long and complicated process that started when my apartment was burglarized and my laptop was taken, through getting a new laptop, replacing that harddrive and restoring from a backup of my old laptop. After all that, I hooked up my new laptop to the time capsule and restored everything via ethernet. I'm now using my TC as a network extender for the house, I can connect to it and see the files in there, but when I try to set up Time Machine to use it, it starts backing up my entire laptop all over again, which apparently would take 48+ hours over WiFi. I'm guessing that when I set it up earlier and made the backup, it was over Ethernet. Now, it can't find the time capsule over ethernet, and thinks that the time capsule via WiFi is a new source. Is there any way to select a time machine file to use and update? I'm using a 1st generation 1 TB Time Capsule with an uMBP 13", 10.6.5. All software is up to date.

I just got a new router, the netgear wndr3600. I have it set up and everything connects to it wired or wireless. The problem is that my macbookpro is only connecting in "g" standard and not "n". The transmit rate is 54. How do I change it to N. This is in the 2.4ghz band. I tried the 5ghz band and it went to the "a" standard. How do I get it to transmit in N?

I am connected to a wireless router downstairs for my internet connection. I am trying to use my new (bought second-hand on ebay) time capsule to store all my files on. I have installed the disk that came with it but when I try to find the capsule via Airport Utility it is unable to do so. The amber light is flashing like it is supposed to. I have tried using the ethernet cable also but my mac doesn't notice it

I've connected my macbook 6.1 to my HD TV via a mini display port to HDMI cable. The picture is fine however I don't have any sound! Will I need a separate connection for audio on the macbook version I have (I know the newer ones are able to transmit picture and audio through the HDMI connection). Or this this a fault with the cables I have?

I'm trying to transmit audio from my 2008 late model MacBook Pro to my 2011 Samsung HDTV. My MacBook's Model Identifier is MacBook Pro 4,1 (ancient, I know). I purchased this DVI to HDMI cable which does a beautiful job of transmitting the video to my HDTV, but no audio (as advertised):[URL]

I play a lot of video games on the internet but my connection is not great around 512kbs. I am trying to reduce the sample rate of the microphone from 44k to 22k to use less bandwith when I talk to other players. I always break up when I talk. There is no option to do that in the sound settings. Is there a way to do it? I have a macbook pro 15' 2.5 ghz intel 2 core duo. With 3gb of Ram.

For the last few days I've been worrying about my battery, I know it's silly and everything, but it's supposed to have 7 hours. It will go for a good 5 hours, sometimes more than that. But the percentage rate seems to be going down quite quickly. e.g half an hour ago it was at 73%, now at 62%. The battery time also changes quickly, from 6 hours 42, to 2hrs 32, back up to 4hours, etc. I have checked the condition on Coconut Battery and it's at 100%.

I have a Rev B, 1.86 128GB SS. It is good except a little weak on battery and heat is still there for anything remotely intensive so my question is: How do you rate battery life of new 13 MBA? My Rev B gets roughly 2 hours watching a HD show from CBS, or 4.5 hours (best case) doing non flash surfing or anything non intensive work, watching photos, writing in word etc. Heat is there if I watch videos, like the example above, routinely around 70-74 watching a video show over the internet. RPM for fan 2500-3000 at that temp. How is the heat of the new one? (I tried one in the Apple store and it bare felt warm underneath while watching an episode on [URL]). My other finding is that the new one felt a little more "solid", cant point to anything specific but a general feel when closing and opening it. Btw, I still run Leopard since I felt that I lost battery time under snow leopard and that it was also slightly warmer under Snow Leopard. Any other difference you have noticed in the new MBA?

'm using my MBA to watch movies on my fullhd TV.
I use the dvi interface to connect to it at 1920 x 1080.
The problem is about the frame rate that after 10 / 15 minutes of flawless palying, drops consistently. I've tried VLC and QT with Perian but the problem is the same.
The only way I can use it, is activate the mirroring function and keep the resolution to 1280 x 800.
The strange fact is that the cpu is quite free and the temperature never goes more than 62 celsius.
I think that the problem could be an overheting of the video adapter. The fan, while I watch movies, is stick to 6200 rpm.

I will be running MS Excel, preview, firefox, and activity monitor. All of a sudden my Activity monitor says that there is about % User of 50% and the fan will start running. I cannot find what program is making it run this high. I quit every program and it gets stuck on this until I restart the computer. I have done this about 3 times and it always comes back. None of the programs are registering high CPU usage. My last computer had an overheating problem where the fan was always on and that was part of the reason I switched to Macs - really hoping that issues doesn't follow me from Windows to Mac.

Macbook Air won't shut down and often the fan runs at a very high rate without stopping. I do notice it seems to get hot on the bottom more than in the past. Any suggestions as to what I should do, I can't keep holding the power button down to shut off the computer.

I need them to do (FTP to my webhost). Both of them cost the same amount to purchase. Transmit has a good track record with people but Flow seems prettier and offers touch gestures. I don't do anything crazy with FTP, pretty much just straight forward stuff to maintain a small forum and other personal sites.

Which program is better for FTP and S3 use? The way I see it is that they both do it, but Transmit is cheaper and doesn't integrate with Finder. Expandrive is more expensive but integrates with Finder.

I really thought apple would have a much lower rate. My friend thinks this can be attributed to the white macbook line. They are apple's best seller and they are plagued with issues of cracking, and screen issues. what do you think?

So I have a late 2008 MBP and the battery is draining way faster than it should. Coconut battery says that my battery capacity is at 93% and it only has 73 cycles but the battery has only been lasting 3 hours at best with a full charge, but most typically, it only lasts 2 hours while using the 9400m GPU and at idle. I have reset the battery per apple's instructions 2 times now and I have reset the SMC multiple times. this is what the system profiler says about my power capacity and consumption:
Model Information:
Serial Number:6N839TV313EB
Manufacturer:SMP
Device name:bq20z951
Pack Lot Code:0000
PCB Lot Code:0000
Firmware Version:002a
Hardware Revision:000a
Cell Revision:0100
Charge Information:
Charge remaining (mAh):3522
Fully charged:No
Charging:No
Full charge capacity (mAh):4226
Health Information:
Cycle count:72
Condition:Normal
Battery Installed:Yes
Amperage (mA):-1449
Voltage (mV):11830
This all happened out of nowhere one day, I used to get a solid 5 hours on each charge a month ago and now this.

Does anyone know of a way to stream from an Airport Express unit to the Airport Base Station or a laptop?
My goal is to be able stream vinyls from my turntable to either my laptop, or even better, other airport expresses. I have a preamp connected to my MacBook via an RCA to USB "hub". I'm always using Final Vinyl to rip vinyls to WAVs. But this requires my laptop to be within a USB chord's distance from the turntable.
I was hoping there would be a way for the Express unit to transmit instead of receive. This is probably impossible. My assumption is that if the Express can extend a network, then it must have transmitting capabilities as well as receiving.
Any other recommendations to achieve my dream of "Wireless Vinyl"? I guess another stationary computer would do it, but I'm hoping there is something simpler than that.

Has anyone come across any Firewire memory keys? (Similar to the USB Keys we have now days). Firewire has a much higher transfer rate than USB 2.0, so I was wondering if any company made the firewire memory keys. I did a quick google search but didn't come up with anything recent. All the articles I read were from years ago.

I was just wondering if any other macrumorsmembers have been in the situation where there's no wifi, no decent 3G, but ethernet ports available to use, but you don't have a computer handy? Would it be possible that you could create an ethernet cable one end, dock the other, and literally connect e.g. an iPhone into the ethernet? At my place of work, there's no signal (dodgy GPRS/flakey Edge), some wifi, but in halls of residence, you get 1 ethernet port, and you can't put a wireless router onto it. It would seem that it would be an interesting solution, if it was possible.
