Cannot connect to internet (with decent speeds) via any method
Been working on this problem for over 7 hours straight and I've viewed hundreds of forum threads from multiple forums, nothing will work for me.
The story is: I used to have Vista. I tried going into BIOS to increase my fan speed but I accidentally hit F9 and went into system restore. I attempted to cancel the restore but it was already at 5% and somehow wiped my boot partition. So then I had the "BOOTMGR IS MISSING" error. I hated Vista anyway so I was like alright, clean install Ubuntu (after spending hours trying to fix the Vista error..)!
So, I clean installed Ubuntu. Everything was fantastic. Then my Internet randomly dropped. No connection whatsoever. I've tried many things;
wlan power off (Some problem with the wireless adapter not receiving enough power) - no effect at all
Some problem with the network manager malfunctioning after an interruption or a suspend; disabled and enabled..no effect.
Tried a different cable.
etc
I BELIEVE it is a driver issue. This is the result of lspci
I believe the problem is somewhere withinCode:00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset DRAM Controller (rev 03) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset PCI Express Root Port (rev 03) 00:1a.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) USB UHCI Controller #4 00:1a.1 USB controller: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) USB UHCI Controller #5 00:1a.2 USB controller: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) USB UHCI Controller #6 00:1a.7 USB controller: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller #2 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) PCI Express Root Port 1 00:1c.5 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) PCI Express Root Port 6 00:1d.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) USB UHCI Controller #1 00:1d.1 USB controller: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) USB UHCI Controller #2 00:1d.2 USB controller: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) USB UHCI Controller #3 00:1d.7 USB controller: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller #1 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev 90) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801JIB (ICH10) LPC Interface Controller 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) 4 port SATA IDE Controller #1 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) SMBus Controller 00:1f.5 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) 2 port SATA IDE Controller #2 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G98 [GeForce G 100] (rev a1) 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

If you google that with a +ubuntu or something, apparently many people that that hardware have problems. When I go to realtek however..ugh, basically I can't find out how to update my drivers.
My wired internet won't work at all. Whether I plug into the router or directly into the modem, whether I do DHCP or static..it won't connect at all. Wireless peaks at 2MB/S speeds (I'm expected 15-25, AT LEAST 10) 2MB/S is ridiculous and unbearable.
I'm willing to run any test just let me know the commands. I'm not sure what is important here so here is the result of some other diagnostic tests..
To clarify; I want my Internet to work properly. Whether it's wired or wireless. My wired should just be a plug and play sort of deal but it never manages to connect. My wireless is a WEP key, and I occasionally have the problem of it attempting to connect and every 30 seconds it will ask me for my encryption key again although it has already been entered. When wireless does connect, its far too slow. Please help!
