Extreme Slow WIFI, Wired Fine, Windows Fine. < 1MB

Post by Steveiwonder »

Hi all,

I just installed Linux Mint 17.2 on my new media server and i seem to be having some serious problems with slow WIFI.

All my other devices in my house easily pull 80-90mb over wifi.

I've tried two different wireless cards, an edimax usb dongle and the one im currently using: http://www.alfa.com.tw/products_show.php?pc=34&ps=92

I've disabled IPV6 as i see other people tried this but no luck.

Has anyone else got any ideas? I really don't want to install windows.

Thanks

Steve

Under perfect conditions your device might get 54Mbps as it is Wireless b/g
