I have the same speed problem with my Macbook Pro and the N150

I also have PCs on the network, none of which have speed problems.

Oddly enough, when I run Wndows XP on my mac, using VMware, and run a browser within it, that also has no connection speed problems.

This seems to point to OSX rather than the mac hardware.

I am stumped.

    The solution that worked for me was related to my having configured the router to use the OpenDNS servers.


    Once I added those same servers, using the DNS tab in System Preferences, the macbook pro speed problems disappeared.

Mac M1 Pro 2020. How to fix it, slowness issue?

Question edited for clarity and toss in some CAPS.

It is a well known issue.

If you find your Mac is running slowly, there are a number of potential causes that you can check. Your computer's startup disk may not have enough free disk space. To make disk space available, you can move files to another disk or an external storage device, then delete files you no longer need on the startup disk.

If your Mac runs slowly - Apple Support (CA)

Hi there - Why do I keep on getting a message saying 'Playback error has occurred, please try to reload the page'. I did a few speed tests and my connection is between 4.5 and 5Mbps.

Hi, how are the Apple TV and MacBook Pro connected to the network, could be a flakey WiFi connection and/or lots of traffic on your local network... are you able to connect both via ethernet cable and retest, how many other users connected to your network? Cheers, John

There are issues with OSX on some monitors. On Lion and older OSX, you may get better results by playing with your Macbook screen settings and resolution. OR I found many of these issues were addressed when I upgraded to OSX Mavericks (free) it now handles external displays and resolutions much better. But you might simply have inadvertanly set the wrong color profile. Go to Finder: then System preferences then Displays. Choose the Color tab/button and select one of the color profiles or choose calibrate and follow the prompts

Apple Macbook Pro does not connect to wireless network

The antennas in the Macbook Pros have had an issue with reception due to the aluminum housing of the laptop but, should still receive decent reception just not as much as a plastic Macbook or plastic PC laptop. It could be possible that the antenna's cables have become disconnected from the Airport Extreme card inside your Macbook Pro, that the card itself is faulty or damaged or that the Antennas themselves have been damaged in some way. As always make sure you have the latest updates and have installed any driver updates from Apple regarding your Airport Extreme card. Here's an article that may help eliminate any wireless interference that may be affecting your signal strength. Apple - Wireless Interference hope this helps, if so don't forget to comment, vote, etc. Thank you.
