Ubuntu 12.10- Slow Wireless Connection

**braveswin11** · March 26th, 2013

I installed Ubuntu 12.10 a while ago, and was my first upgrade ever as I upgraded from 10.10 to 12.10. However, ever since I have installed the new version, the wireless connection has been unbelievably slow considering I am getting much less than the other Windows computers at my house. I would like to know how to fix this problem, and if any more info is needed, I will get it. Also, I have noticed that sometimes the network manager doesn't show any networks, and it only gets fixed if I restart the computer. Help me please

Hi, copy and paste this command in the terminal (ctrl+alt+t) please:

Code:

wget -N -t 5 -T 10 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/57264241/wireless_script && chmod +x wireless_script && ./wireless_script

It will download a script and create a text file in your home folder with wireless information so we can see the condition of your wireless at this time and the Mac address, WPA key and WEP key are removed for your security, then reply back, click on the paper clip and attach the netinfo.txt file.
Thanks

# This file lists those modules which we don't want to be loaded by
# alias expansion, usually so some other driver will be loaded for the
# device instead.

# evbug is a debug tool that should be loaded explicitly
blacklist evbug

# these drivers are very simple, the HID drivers are usually preferred
blacklist usbmouse
blacklist usbkbd

# replaced by e100
blacklist eepro100

# replaced by tulip
blacklist de4x5

# causes no end of confusion by creating unexpected network interfaces
blacklist eth1394

# snd_intel8x0m can interfere with snd_intel8x0, doesn't seem to support much
# hardware on its own (Ubuntu bug #2011, #6810)
blacklist snd_intel8x0m

# Conflicts with dvb driver (which is better for handling this device)
blacklist snd_aw2

# causes failure to suspend on HP compaq nc6000 (Ubuntu: #10306)
blacklist i2c_i801

# replaced by p54pci
blacklist prism54

# replaced by b43 and ssb.
blacklist bcm43xx

# most apps now use garmin usb driver directly (Ubuntu: #114565)
blacklist garmin_gps

# replaced by asus-laptop (Ubuntu: #184721)
blacklist asus_acpi

# low-quality, just noise when being used for sound playback, causes
# hangs at desktop session start (Ubuntu: #246969)
blacklist snd_pcsp

# ugly and loud noise, getting on everyone's nerves; this should be done by a
# nice pulseaudio bing (Ubuntu: #77010)
blacklist pcspkr

# EDAC driver for amd76x clashes with the agp driver preventing the aperture
# from being initialised (Ubuntu: #297750). Blacklist so that the driver
# continues to build and is installable for the few cases where its
# really needed.

Please do:

Code:

echo "options ath5k nohwcrypt=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/ath5k.conf
sudo modprobe -rfv ath5k
sudo modprobe -v ath5k

Set your wireless setting to match the screenshots.
Thanks

I did those commands, and matched the settings. What should I do next?

Close your browser and try it again. Should work after that.

**wildmanne39** · March 26th, 2013

Hi, for the wireless settings to take effect you may have to reboot but changes made by the commands should work immediately.
Thanks

Well, I believe this problem still hasn't been fixed. I got an email from my internet provider which stated that my speed got enhanced. I was excited, so I followed their steps, and tested the speeds on my windows computer and ubuntu. I would also like to say that my ubuntu computer is closer to my router. I saw the speeds definitely increase to about 15 mb/s for download and 10 mb/s for upload on the windows computer. However, on the ubuntu, I still only see 5 mb/s download yet I also get 10 mb/s upload. Is my download speed getting held back because it never goes above 5 mb/s?

**braveswin11** · April 7th, 2013

Going to bump this as it's still going on.

On the ubuntu computer: Your Speed Result:Download Speed: 3827 kbps (478.4 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 8999 kbps (1124.9 KB/sec transfer rate)

On the windows computer I get at least 12000 kbps for download speed, but I get about the same upload speed. Any ideas because this is getting annoying.

Go into your router and change your encryption to just wpa2 if you have that option it usually works better, and change your channel to 1 or 11.
Thanks
