I have an Ubuntu Mate 15.10 installed.

Yesterday I noticed that the internet became slow. I've tried to ping router and the latency was something over 2000ms by 6000ms.

The temporary fix for that is:

sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi
sudo modprobe iwlwifi
sudo systemctl restart network-manager

or toggle this by a wi-fi hotkey on the keyboard

Then it works, but after 5-10 minutes it happens again.

I've tried:

  • dpkg-reconfigure the network-manager and linux-firmware
  • reinstall them (linux-firmware 1.149.3 and network-manager 1.0.4-0ubuntu5.2)
  • downgrade them (to linux-firmware 1.149 and network-manager 1.0.4-0ubuntu5)
  • turn off the N mode (options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1)
  • turn on link aggregation (options iwlwifi 11n_disable=8)
  • sudo iwconfig wlp4s0 power off
  • stop bluetoothd
  • ping router from another device - no problem at all
  • use wifi on Windows 10 on the same laptop - no problem at all

but the problem is still exists.

Answering my question: The problem was in (big surprise) pulseaudio and it's network socket feature (I was experimenting with it). So, I turned it off and the problem disappears
