Wifi Intern (LAN) slow, Internet could me quicker.

Hi all,


I have the following problem. And 3 days of google searching didn't solve the problem.
My iMac is one of the late 2009. And everthing was well in the beginning. Internet was fast and I had no probl


After 3 years the problems started. The Network port stopt working. I can see it in the hardware list and in de network settings.
But it when I plug in a LAN cable, no ip. No warrenty anymore so WiFi was the solution.


Now after some more months and a couple of OSX updates, WiFi is reallys slow. I have a N WiFi network and a fiber internet connection.
The download speed on the iMac is 2.2 mbit. And on LAN it will net even get their. Streaming a SD movie from the intern NAS wont even work.


All other devices in the house works great. The Router is 6 months old. No problem there. Only the Mac.


Can I use an usb tot lan converter. Or an wifi dongle? Or does anaybody know how this can be fixed?


Thanks in advance!


Anne

For the ethernet failing issue did you ever try a SMC reset? Sometimes helps:

These are a couple of suggestions that have worked for some in trying to resolve connectivity issues. Add these OpenDNS settings in Network preferences (make a note of the number that is currently in your settings in case you want to revert):

Some on here don't advocate using OpenDNS, many others do. I use them myself. More info on OpenDNS:

Add a new Network Location (following instructions under 'Making New Locations':

This last suggestion has worked for me in the past.
