Yesterday, I installed Ubuntu 16.04 onto an LG laptop. Everything is working fine except the wireless connection. When I'm closer to the router, the connection is fast, but in my room the wireless is very slowly.

In Windows, I don't have this problem, but I don't want to use that system anymore.

Here is some output of lspci

I tried the driver suggested on the "rtl8723ae unstable on Ubuntu 14.04" question, but unfortunately there was no improvement with that driver, the pages are slow to load, and the download rate is 200 – 300kbps (in Windows it was 1.0 – 1.1Mbps).

Is there any other alternative for this wireless

  • @Pilot6 I can install that driver too? – Roland Jul 15 '16 at 18:46
  • Yes, why not? But for 16.04 you may need to disablr Secure Boot in BIOS. – Pilot6 Jul 15 '16 at 19:01
  • @Pilot6 Unfortunately no improvement with this driver, the pages are slow to load, and the download rate is 200 ~ 300kbps in windows it was 1.0 ~ 1.1mbps – Roland Jul 15 '16 at 19:31
  • To add multiple-line output, please select the text and press the {} button. ``` is only for one line of output at most. – Olathe Jul 20 '16 at 03:28
  • Why don't you try with an older driver? You need to downgrade the driver. I'm not an expert on this so I cannot help you do that. Alternatively, you can create an Ubuntu 14.04 LiveCD and test it there (selecting "Try ubuntu without installing"). –  Jul 20 '16 at 19:30
  • Please, specify exact hardware in your question. – Léo Léopold Hertz 준영 Jul 21 '16 at 17:54
  • Sometimes, with obsolete routers, I disabling IPv6 helps a lot. Don't know if that's your case. – Dugi Jul 25 '16 at 14:56
