I have just installed Ubuntu 14.04 on my Lenovo y510p (I am dual booting windows 8.1 and Ubuntu). I am having trouble getting good wifi speeds when I use Ubuntu. Besides, the connection is unstable and would be dropped once in a while, prompting me to re-enter the wifi password. I don't have these issues when I am on Windows 8.1.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like a classic issue with Intel wifi since Ubuntu 12.04 and it seems that the common solution is echo "options iwlwifi 11n_disable=8" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf and reboot

  • Thanks. I tried your suggestion, but it didn't work. I found this link and tried their fixes as well. (askubuntu.com/questions/119578/…) Now, my wifi is not as bad all the time. However, I still keep having these issues from time to time. Generally, a reboot fixes the issue.
