Re: Wifi slow with RTL8188EE and Linux Mint 17.2 Cinnamon 64

Post by Automaatti »

I followed guide posted here: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=204172
Now everything seems to be working same speed on both mint and windows laptop.

Still kinda slow connection, but i believe rest of the problem might be from company whom i get the connection from.

This topic can be deleted, there was no problem with mint at all, its my connection provider problem that internet is slow, i just didnt get notice about it.
I did re install mint becuse i did too many changes and didnt keep track of what i did. :roll:
