I am trying to migrate to the Mint 17 desktop since 15 is end-of-life, but there is a slight problem-- the new install is noticeably slower than the older one when it comes to wifi/internet.
A quick run to the AT&T Speedtest confirms this.
I have done sudo /usr/lib/linuxmint/mintWifi/mintWifi.py with the following results in Mint 15:

Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service smbd reload
Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the reload(8) utility, e.g. reload smbd
