I installed XP pro SP3 on Macbook aluminum 2.4 ghz.Updated all drivers but running windows update downloading < 20 kb/sec. Only downloading on speedtest half what normal wifi runs.
View 3 Repliesi just got my new macbook 2 hours ago. i came home to set it up and there was no "antenna" or "signal strength" icon on the top right in the menu bar. I went to system profiler and clicked on airport, and it said "no information available", so i assume there's not one installed. thats about my luck. ill be taking it back in the morning.

But what do you guys use your virtual machines for? How often do you have it open? What OS do you use?
just purchased right before he left (Febuary). His computer is now giving him troubles with programs taking ages to load. He said that one program took about 3 hours to load completely. What/any advice can I give him to resolve this issue? He has the warrenty package but since I'm in Alaska, shipping costs are expensive and we'd like to avoid them as much as possible.

I successfully connected to their Wi-Fi system. After a few days a strange problem starting occurring once in a while and I solved it by just restarting the computer, now however, it is stuck with this problem and my temporary solution does not work anymore. The laptop will not connect to the internet and up in the menu bar I see the 'connection meter' all greyed out with a white cross over it. If i click on it it says 'Wi-Fi: No hardware installed'. Run a program called EtreCheck to get a report on the system. This has been posted below. I recently did a complete reinstallation of the system after formatting it. This was because I could not install Windows via Bootcamp, which I have now successfully installed.

I bought MBA 13'' mid 2011 about 3 weeks ago in Houston,TX. Today in the morning, after reboot i cannot connect to any Wi-Fi network, because i see wi-fi icon disabled and it is shows: "Wi-Fi: No hardware installed". My MBA running on 10.7.3 MacOs. I've already tried:
1). Remove all setting for network;
2). Reset SMC
3). Reset PRAM;
4). Boot in Windows via Bootcamp (wifi adapter cannot be found as well);
5). Rebooted about 10-15 times;
6). Run Wi-Fi diagnostics and it is hanged up.

I have a MacBook Air 1st Generation and all of a sudden I have no Wi-Fi connectivity as it displays the above error message ' Wi-Fi: No hardware installed' when I click on the Airport icon. So not only do I not have Wi-Fi connectivity, but even when I connect with and ethernet cable I cannot login to iTunes or the AppStore as it cannot verify my computer.

Installed a Samsung SSD 830 256GB into my MBP 15" after duplicating the hard drive via disk utility. But bootup times has nearly doubled from 35 seconds of the old HDD to 63 seconds with the new SSD when it's supposed to be the other way round! Applications do startup and run very fast though. Tried repairing my permissions but that hasnt helped.

I have an aluminum Macbook on a wireless network. My network is configured as follows: In the area covered by the AP, I have the Macbook and an old, busted PC. The PC works fine, and internet is as fast as if it was plugged in. The mac says it has full signal, but the internet speed varies greatly. This Macbook tends to show full bars even when the signal is weak, though. Sometimes it loads pages fast, sometimes, it takes almost a full minute to load pages. While I haven't tested it on many other networks, it appears to work fine elsewhere. Anyone have any idea what the problem is? It's almost as if the Macbook isn't connecting to the AP and is connecting straight to the main router which is far away. As I was typing this post, the Macbook completely lost wifi signal.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI am running an approx 2 year old Macbook on my wifi network and have noticed that the download speeds are very slow all of a sudden.Testing with speedtest.net I am only getting 0.5MB/s compared to normal speeds of 2.5MB/s.I don't think it's the router because my iPhone is consistently showing 2-2.5MB/s.I have run software update to ensure everything is up to date.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm beginning to wonder if Apple put a lousy Airport card in the new MBA. No matter what the wifi hotspot, I get downloads of 2MB. I just bought a new Airport Extreme at home and I really thought the MBA would be faster.
Am I missing something here? Do I have to "match up" the MBA with my Extreme to use the fast "N" connection? Or is there some network setting to tweak on the new MBA?
Does anyone else notice the MBA takes a long time to reconnect to your wifi network after awaking from sleep? I'd say it takes 10-15 seconds vs. a MBP which takes less than 5 seconds.Not a huge deal, but I'd say it's one of the slowest notebooks I've used to reconnect to a wifi network.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI've just set up my MBA, right out of the box - everything is going well apart from it take ages to copy files from my G5 to the MBA, over my WiFi connection.
A 33.6MB file has just taken 45 mins!
I'm doing nothing differently from when I used my very old (5 years) G4 PowerBook to transfer content. As a quick test, I've just transferred the same file to that lap top in about 15 seconds.
A few weeks ago I noticed my internet running incredibly slow on one side of my room. This side being the farthest from the router. To my knowledge nothing new had happened enviromently to cause this problem. I went through the motions of reseting my router and still the problem persits. I decided to take in my Macbook Pro into the Genius Bar and they replaced the Airport and Bluetooth components. Today I finally got it back and quickly my enthusiasim was dashed to find out that I'm still haivng the same problem. I'm only having this problem on my Macbook Pro since I have both a Nexus S android phone and an Asus Transformer tablet that runs perfectly fine on that side, well all sides, of my room.

I'm experiencing very slow speeds on my new Macbook Air 13" mid 2012. For example when I'm transferring files from my NAS, a Qnap TS-259 Pro+, wirelessly through my D-Link DIR 855 router. I barely reach speeds around 1MB/s. If I use my Windows 7 laptop, that sits right next to my Mac, to transfer the exact same file I get constant speeds around 6MB/s. That's six times faster.
Is there a known issue with the wifi that I've missed?
I did some further testing to try and identify the cause of the wifi problem. I installed Windows 7 in Parallels and transferred the exact the same files once again. Here's where it becomes interesting. Transferring those same files on my Macbook, using Windows 7 under Parallels, the speed was the same as it was on my physical Windows 7 machine, i.e. a constant speed of around 6MB/s. I then switched back to Mac OSX again and the speed once again decreased to around 1MB/s.

i just got my 2012 Retina MBP and i absolutely love it. there's one problem though. wifi is EXTREMELY slow.
we have a campus-wide 802.11n network, all my other devices work flawlessly.
can i somehow force my MBP NOT to use the 5 GHz band but to stay at 2.4 GHz? I believe i somewhere read that this could fix the problem. ethernet via thunderbolt works as supposed.

Did any of you experienced this ? My WiFi slows down or even stops working when external monitor is connected (via the big connector, don't remember it's name, DMI or something like that). Air Rev A, 1.6.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have had my 15" i7 MBP for around a week now, and a handful of times (3 times last night) it just decided it doesnt want to connect to the internet.The WiFi Signal still says its connected full, and other laptops don't have an issue (not even my old 13" MacBook).I have tried changing the DNS to OpenDns and to Google's DNS but with no luck. The problem is intermittent, and it will be fine for a day, then it will just decide it doesn't want to work.

View 2 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know how accurate the 2010 macbook pro wifi signal strength monitor is? There are times I have full bars but my internet is really slow, or stops working all together for a few minutes. I THINK, because I'm on a different floor than the router, which would explain reduced signal. BUT my computer says I have full bars.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm encountering an issue with a new Macbook Air and would grateful for any insights. I have an Airport Extreme (latest model, 5th gen, A1408) based network (all updates applied). I have a new 2012 MacBook Air (11") that I noticed was suffering from VERY slow wifi speeds. After looking into it, I realized that if I used the configuration utility to separately name the 5GHz network and connect to wifi on the 2.4 Ghz network, the speed radically improved.
To illustrate, using speedtest.net, I saw download speeds of 35-38 Mb/s using the 2.4 Ghz network. This drops to 2-3 Mb/s when using the 5 Ghz network. The Macbook Air is showing an RSSI value of -56 when connected via 5 GHz and -51 when connected via 2.4 Ghz.
Other deivces in the home have normal connection speeds on the 5 GHz network, as does a previous generation, 2011 MacBook Air.A friend's also new, 2012 11" MacBook Air exhibits the same symptoms, so the issue is not specific to my unit.

Sorry for the title but I couldn't think of anything better. Hopefully I'll be able to explain my problem. I have a MPR 2.53 ghz, 4 gig ram, I'm using Safari 4.04. I am using the WIFI at a guesthouse in Thailand (but I had the same issue in China, Vietnam ...). I ran a speed test and it said download 7mb/sec and upload about 1mb/sec. I have an "app" that says bandwidth in 1.3kb/sec out 1.0kbs. I thought maybe it was Safari so I downloaded and installed Firefox. firefox gives me similar speeds. When I downloaded Firefox though I had a download speed of over 1mb/sec. But as soon as it finished downloading the speed went back to around 1kb/sec. I have rebooted my MBP many times. I did some Google searches but didn't find anything helpful.

I have a 1st generation MacBook Pro. I installed Leopard and now it is very very slow. I get the colored circle all the time and a lot of "not responding" apps that I have to force quit.
