I have a D-link wireless router and an Adsl 5MB/s connection. The router have a Qnap box and a boxee box connected with 100/10 network cable, also we got My wife PC (running win7) my PC (dual boot win7 / Ubuntu 11.10), my laptop (dual boot win7 / Ubuntu 11.10) and my mobile (android 2.3).
I've used speed test to monetize my internet download speed, I've run these tests on my PC, my wife PC and my cellphone (They've got an app for that).
Beside my PC, all the devices showed a ~ 5MB/s download stream while my PC showed things like 0.1MB/s <> 0.8MB/s. If I disconnected the WiFi connection and than reconnected - the speed test showed a 5MB/s download speed for few tests, but after a minute or so - the connection dropped down to the under 1Mb/s limit.
Doing the same tests on my PC using windows 7 showed no such problems and the connection was steady at 5MB/s.
I've searched around askubuntu and tried several things (turned off ipv6 and power management ) but with no success.
Ideas?
