sdjiklafjsjfioejiaisjfioas Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Hello, I recently built a hackintosh and with it, bought a TP-Link TL-WDN400 which (according to Tonymacx86 users) should work OOB. I've got it working with no problems whatsoever, but the speeds seem throttled and I can't seem to find a way to fix this. Have others experienced the same problems? On my Hackintosh I get 9.51mbps down while I get 16.04mbps down on my MacBook which is sitting right beside my Hackintosh. (Hackintosh) (MacBook) I'm using a GIGABYTE Z77X-UP5 TH Motherboard, Intel i5-3570k processor. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fau7i Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Definitely it works OOB in hackintosh. Fortunately I don't see any significant difference here when comparing the result from OS X and Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately I don't see any significant difference here when comparing the result from OS X and Windows. I've already tried reinstalling OSX and changing system definitions, with no success . Did you have to change any networking settings or was it just plug & play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdjiklafjsjfioejiaisjfioas Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 OK, I *think* I've fixed the issue. Plugged the TL-WDN4800 in a PCIEX8 slot and voila! I have no idea why it did not work in the smaller PCIE slot, but it works now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Dev Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Sounds like a IRQ issue or a bandwidth issue on the old lane you were using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctroncosor Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I would add a couple of irqs in hpet section, rampagedev is correct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdjiklafjsjfioejiaisjfioas Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 I would add a couple of irqs in hpet section, rampagedev is correct. How can I achieve this? Might there not be enough power going to the PCI Slots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pats2000 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I have had this issue as well and have been tryin to find solution for this. What I did was System Preference > Network > Delete your current wireless network (usually named as Wi-Fi) After the Wi-Fi network has been deleted. Proceed to Create a new Wi-Fi network by click on the + and follow through without any changes on any field. Reconnect to your wireless and proceed to speedtest to check for any improvement on network speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This board has two x1 slots, but when plugged into the first slot hack becomes slow after loading system. In the second slot machine does not start. When I start win8, the same hack, there is no any problem, the TL-4800 is recognized immediately. Tks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdjiklafjsjfioejiaisjfioas Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 Just plugged the TL-4800 in a x8 slot? Yeah, it was either an x8 or x16 slot, I cannot remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
