Very Slow Internet Lion (This one is for the "Apple Network Team")

yes sir. perfect connection just like Snow Leopard. downloads, pages, etc...hope it help you and hope someone at Apple tests this...

yes, that's all i can say 😀 the same internet activity this last month and it's flawless.

ok, let me know how it went...good luck.

hello Darwin,

first of all, the medal should go to the guy on my link, on my final hours of despair i found it after many searches, that guy saved my "life" because i was starting to see my destiny as a long waiting game on apple support lines...thank him. 🙂

i did what i could to alert other people. i'm so glad it worked for you.

at that time i've contacted Apple through some page with a form like the one on the site you linked but i don't remember where it was and never got the reply (i know it's hard to see so many mails with problems and some of them are just problems between the chair and the screen 🙂).

just in case, i've just reported this topic to both iMac team and Mac OS team. wope they see it.

finally, i always recommend Macs to friends that ask me for the best computer, and bugs like this are a very sad situation, 'cause, it's a simple situation for the user (just surf the web, right?) but the solution is very hard to find (even for the guys on Apple's support).

thank you and my best regards.

hello treyno13,

did you update to Lion or did a clean install?

did you tried all of my steps above (before the driver downgrade)?

do you have the same symptoms?

what do speedtest and pingtest report?

did you try it on different hardware (different router, etc...)?

good luck

humm...

i've clean installed one macbook (late 2008?) and one mac mini (early 2009) both with broadcom adapters and both of them were ok, after the install.

so, speedtest and pingtest are websites (speedtest.net and pingtest.net), both test your internet connection with the help of a 'local' server. it's useful, for instance, if you want see if two different computers connected to the same router have the same connection quality.

so if you can connect to some routers nicely and you have problems with your router, to me, it seems like you have some problems with the connection between your computer and the router.

an old router might bring you problems (there are some advices on the internet to change router's channel and so...), i would recommend to see if motorola has some sort of firmware update to your router. if you don't have complex router configurations, you might try to reset to factory defaults (search the manual). that, once, fixed a problem with a smc router and two macbooks (one, older, could connect easily, the other wouldn't connect to the router).

if that atheros driver trick, resolved your issue, that's strange 🙂

make sure broadcom isn't your ethernet adapter and not your wireless adapter 🙂

did you resetted your pram and smc? do you have Mac OS 10.7.2?

i hope you can figure that out.

yes, you can do a time machine backup of your home folder and then restore it as soon as Lion finishes installing.

everything (you can choose what) will be restored then, music, photos, calendars, music, etc...
