Speed issues with Airport Extreme/Express
Hi All,
I hope someone can help me out here. I'm having unexplained speed issues with my wifi.
I've been getting slow internet for a while now, and yesterday I dismantled the entire network in a bid to fix it... I have a 20MB line from Virgin, direct ethernet connection to my MacBook gives me the advertised 20MB+... I have been (and still get) about 1-2MB on wifi ðŸ˜
I rebuilt the network yesterday, and for about 4 hours I got 20+MB over wifi... then... for no observable reason the network dropped to 1-2MB again, as it is today... I've rebooted the whole network... and still the same 1-2MB... can anyone provide any insight as to why this might be happening?
Configuration isn't perhaps perfect, but is proven to work!
- DSL in from Virgin box, into DLink 4 port hub, 1 port feeds Airport Express, 1 port feeds an Apple Aiport Extreme, 1 port feeds Synology DS201.
- Airport Extreme feeds a subsequent Airport Express on the top floor of the house...
- Channels have been set manually:
- 2.4 GHz channels assigned are 1, 7 and 13
- 5GHZ (Extreme) is 48
- All boxes set to connection sharing mode: "Bridge mode"
- Security is WPA/WPA2 Personal
Latest (just now) speeds:
Ping: 11ms
Down: 2.35MBs
UP: 1.13MBs
Many thanks for any pointers.
