I am running Lubuntu 14.10 Utopic on HP 15 Touchsmart laptop. It is installed alongside Windows 8 on the same machine.

While on Windows my wi-fi connection works just fine,on Lubuntu it is very slow (noticeably slower than on Windows) and it disconnects often.

I am looking for expert help with resolving this issue. I have no idea what to look for.

Try changing the wireless channel which would helps you to get some good wireless speed

List the wireless extension with the command

iwconfig 

Set your wireless channel in the router to 1 or 11 and save the router configuration and reboot it.

sudo iwconfig wlan0 channel #

#- Wireless channel number

Hope this helps!

  • thanks. would you explain why I need to do it and what it would accomplish? What is a channel? What is a router? I thought that the router is the modem that my ISP gave me. No? Sorry about so much ignorance in this subject...
