[Express] iPad 2 - Slow Download SpeedsHi everyone.
Our wireless network consists of the following: - Rogers Express - Motorola DOCSIS 2 modem - D'Link DIR-825 wireless router
When I run a speedtest on my notebook, I'm getting consistent speeds of 18-20 Mbps.
When I run a speedtest on my iPad 2, I'm getting speeds of only 10 Mbps.
I was wondering if anyone with a similar setup, is also running into the same speed issues with their iPad 2?
If you are not experiencing these issues, would you mind sharing your iPad 2 or wireless router settings?
Any suggestions/recommendations would be appreciated.
Cheers! |

The download speeds with Express Internet and a D2 modem are only 10 Mbps. The fact that you are getting 18-20 Mbps with your notebook is quite likely due to Speedboost which detects when there is available bandwidth on the network and automatically provides a temporary burst of speed for the first 10 MB of a download or stream. Not sure why you are not getting the same with your iPad 2, though I have read similar complaints about slower speeds with the iPad 2. (The advertised speed of 18 Mbps for Express only apply with a D3 modem.) |
