    Where is you router located? It should be 1-1,5 m above the ground, free standing.

    It is on the floor actually. Everything was working perfectly out of box with my old laptop on the same Ubuntu version (12). So it must be a driver issue, or am I wrong?

    I found a couple of articles about the ndiswrapper tool. You can feed it with a *.inf-file of a windows wireless network driver to generate a proper driver for Ubuntu.
    I'll give it a chance this weekend.

    Thanks guys!

    Greetings,

    Just thought I'd throw in a solidarity comment. Same issue. Asus S500c with Atheros AR9485 Wireless and an AzureWave Device 2126 subsystem.

    Connection's fine as long as I'm within 5 feet of the router. Starts getting iffy after that. And forget about it at 10 feet. Oddly enough, it doesn't seem to be a speed issue really. I'm able to get about the same download speed on Ubuntu as Win8. Just can't stay connected.

    And this is definitely a new issue with 13.04. Frustrating.
