TriRan Posted July 5, 2012 CID Share Posted July 5, 2012 what settings are you referring to? there are several mac owners on here that can assist you with troubleshooting and other things i know a little about mac but would need quite a bit more info about your setup to be of any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tstillery Posted July 5, 2012 Author CID Share Posted July 5, 2012 well i have the 5th Gen of airport and I'm station in korea and I'm paying of 10mps but only average around 5-6mps i keep complainng about and they keep saying its the router and i keep calling BS ..so was woundering if cable nuts or a similar would work ..or is due to me having to use unblocks to get certain sites from the states? like Netflix/HULU also i did by a different router a net gear 600 and still the same results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriRan Posted July 5, 2012 CID Share Posted July 5, 2012 the quickest way to determine if its the router or not is to bypass the router and connect your mac with a Cat5e cable directly to the modem if your still getting 5-6mbps then it is indeed not the router and their problem and they should fix it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted July 5, 2012 CID Share Posted July 5, 2012 Check namebench out, it may help... written by Google. http://code.google.com/p/namebench/ MacKeeper is another option, which actually can do quite a bit to speed up your Mac. https://testmy.net/mackeeper (direct download link) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tstillery Posted July 5, 2012 Author CID Share Posted July 5, 2012 yes i have bypass the router and speed jumps between 6-7mps but they do say its peek hours ...they do their sped checks from speediest.net ..i do understand when i check my speed from like say the states speeds will be slower but is it still normal to drop to 1mps or less checking from a sever in Seattle ? ca3le i will check those out TY.......PS still waiting on my testmy.net ....gear lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
