I'm using Lubuntu 15.04 - 64 bit, kernel 3.19.0-18-generic.

My TPlink, is always with low signal(normally 2%). The other computers are working just fine with other wireless pens, with good quality signal.

1 - first part (http://linuxforums.org.uk/index.php?topic=11261.0):

Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run these commands in sequence:

sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-generic git
mkdir ~/RTL8188EU
cd ~/RTL8188EU
git clone git://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu
cd ~/RTL8188EU/rtl8188eu
make
sudo make install
sudo cp -v ~/RTL8188EU/rtl8188eu/rtl8188eufw.bin /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/
sudo depmod -a
sudo update-initramfs -u
sudo modprobe 8188eu

then, second part to make sure the correct driver is loaded (Low wireless signal with TP-Link TL-WN725N WiFi dongle):

added this line: blacklist r8188eu

In

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Save and Quit from Text Editor

Then in

sudo gedit /etc/modules

I added this line at the end of the configuration: 8188eu. Save and Quit from Text Editor again

Then you do

sudo depmod -a
sudo update-initramfs -u

And before you reboot the system it is important to test these commands:

Check if the module you already blacklisted with

lsmod | grep r8188eu

If it's not removed then remove it with

sudo rmmod r8188eu

And finally you do

sudo rmmod 8188eu
sudo modprobe 8188eu

To refresh the module and you'll have a working with full signal wireless

Reboot!

now, I have a 100% signal connection with ip address, but unable to connect to internet.

The output of iwconfig&ifconfig:

what's missing?
