My new laptop came with built-in wireless, Realtek RTL8188EE. In Windows 8.1 it runs fine. With Ubuntu 14.04 it works "out of the box", but it's slow and really basically stops at times. It can do N to 150 mbs, and usually connects to the router at that speed. But it is SLOW on the net (it's Comcast broadband). I plugged in a Tenda W322U v2.0 like have so much luck with on my other systems including 14.04. The Tenda is a N 300mbs Ralink adapter. Even when it connects to the router at a slower speed, transversing the internet is extremely more quick - like it should be.
Given that, is there perhaps a different driver for the Realtek RTL8188EE that might work better? Right now it's just using whatever default driver it decided to use at install.
Thanks!
