After looking around I found something useful that I had to tweak for my system to get it work, so simply taking their solution 2 and tweaking it to look like :
sudo rmmod -f iwlwifi sudo modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=1If you notice that the wifi speed improved, then make the change permanent :
gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi-disable11n.confand add this line to the file:
options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1save and quit.
If you're on battery, turning off power management could help as well
sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off
I lived with that for a couple of weeks on my Fedora 16, but I gave up. Had the wlan rate still going down to 1-6Mbit/s (instead 54Mbit/s). Of course this may also be related to my router (DLink DIR-655), but a wired connection is a wired connection :)
ReplyDeleteYeah I'm mostly on wired as well at home, but was worried with business travels, conferences and so on... A laptop without a working wifi is as good as a desktop PC :-)
ReplyDeletethanks Jean looks like this one worked4me - improved :)
ReplyDeletethanks...worked for me:)
ReplyDeleteThis made a world of a difference for my laptop. Was getting <1Mbps. After applying this, I'm up to about 18Mbps. This is still less than ideal since I have a 50Mbps line, but at least it's usable.
ReplyDeleteThanks it worked great!!!
