Hey guys,

I'm going to bring back an old post here. I can't really say that my internet is slow. It's more like.....well it's giving me a lot of lag pauses when my macbook pro is hooked up to my wireless router which is the D-Link DIR655. My internet would work well and it is fast but every minute or 2 I would get the lags for couple seconds, as in as i'm browsing web or something, for couple seconds there would be no activity whatsoever. After those few seconds then the internet would work again at fast speed. But this constantly happens every 1-2 minutes. Its getting really annoying.

The model of my macbook pro is MacBookPro2,2. I tried to do few things from the previous post like try to do the dns server if i obtain the ip from my isp. Called my isp and they just refused to give out my info. They kept on saying let the router find it automatically.

Anyone have this problem?

Macbook slow wireless; same problem
 

Hi,

I've had what sounds like the same problem with our 2 y/o Macbook. It ran fine for a long time on the same router as the other posters. However, a coupe months ago it slowed down abruptly to a crawl. All other computers in house work fine on same wireless router, including an Imac about a year old.

I've read other posts on this and tried this and that; no help. Except one thing: when I closed down airport and reset it everything worked fine again for a day or so. Now back to the same problem. I've done this same exercise a couple of times now.

I think there is spyware at fault. I know that Mac is supposed to be impervious to this but I doubt it now. I'd like to fine a good, free spyware removal app for Mac and see what happens. So far, I haven't found any.

Fix!
 

I was also having the problem where encryption (wep,wap/wap2) was preventing my macbook from connecting at wireless n speeds. The fix was to use WPA2 and AES cipher type (as opposed to TKIP). This fixed it for me, I'm connected at 144mbps!
