The bit that I'm confused about is that you say you only have one access point, but the AirPort Extreme must be doing something wirelessly. Posted by jaffacakerhubarb at 7:40 PM on February 4, 2010 I might just have misinterpreted your choice of words, however. Other than that, the most obvious problem I can see is that your AirPort base station may be connected to your 'Billion Wireless Modem' via wireless, which will compound the inherent slowness of 802.11g. ]Ĭonnecting directly to an 802.11n-only network will provide the most decisive speed boost. Of course, only one of them can act as a DHCP server, but I'm guessing this is already setup or else your AirPort base station at the very least would be complaining a lot. Provided that the two are connected via ethernet (which they should be), then you should have no problems and all the computers will be on the same network. Is there a reason you have two wireless access points? If it's because you want to provide legacy wireless compatibility, then I suggest leaving the 'Billion Wireless Modem' providing 802.11g, and the AirPort Extreme providing 802.11n.
I'm not sure if 800 kb/s is particulary low, high or to be expected from an 802.11g network, but here are a few suggestions anyway. posted by Effigy2000 to Computers & Internet (13 answers total)Ĩ02.11g isn't that fast, which might be explaining your troubles.

So I'm wondering if there's some sort of setting I need to change that could fix things? Apple doesn't seem to be forthcoming with answers or a firmware update so in the meantime, I'm hoping the Hive Mind can provide some ideas.Īny help you can provide would be much appreciated. Reading the Apple support forums, there seem to be similar complaints from other users with setup's similar to mine, but there also seem to be many people who've said they have no problems at all.

Plus I've tried closing Comodo completely and file transfers happen just as slow as always. I suppose Comodo could be to blame but I wouldn't know how.

I have switched off Windows Firewall and I use Comodo in its place.
Surely I should be getting faster speeds than that if I'm using 802.11g? If I use Total Commander, the transfer seems to hang for a few seconds before beginning, and then I get transfer speeds of around 800kb/s. If I'm using Windows Explorer, the transfer will usually time out.Ģ. But when I try to copy data from my computer to my hard drive, what usually happens is this.ġ. Albeit slowly.Īpple says that the AE should automatically work out what the best band to use is, so since its capable of a+b, g and n, it should have automatically set itself to use Wireless G, since that's what the router is set to generate.
This allows both my laptop and my wife's laptop to access the drive. My Airport Extreme is set up to join that network wirelessly, which it does with ease. I've set it to use WPA2 TKIP and to use 802.11g. I have a Billion Wireless Modem generating my access point. The way my network is set up is is as follows. But if I access it via WiFi, even with my laptop sitting right next to the AE, well, like I said. The drive works fine if I plug it directly into my computer via USB, transferring data takes a very short amount of time. Problem is that data transfer between my computer and the wireless hard drive is sloooooooooow. I use it to wirelessly access my USB hard drive with my late 2009 model MacBook Pro, which runs Windows 7, from around the house. I own one of Apple's new Airport Extreme base stations.
