I was using Windows 10 and decided to install Ubuntu, my internet works extremly slow. On Windows 10 it worked perfectly fine. edit:

Run in terminal

sudo apt-get install r8168-dkms

and reboot.

This will install another driver. It should work better.

  • One thing that might help, even though it's not driver related, is to change DNS settings. I've got my DNS set to Google DNS 8.8.8.8 as primary, and 8.8.4.4 as secondary. It's a noticeable improvement as far as loading time for webpages.

i don't think r8168-dkms compiles. Use solution from here, this one works fine, although you can not upgrade kernel without having to recompile. Somehow, it only worked for me if I compiled as root:

apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`
wget http://12244.wpc.azureedge.net/8012244/drivers/rtdrivers/cn/nic/0002-r8168-8.040.00.tar.bz2
sha256sum 0002-r8168-8.040.00.tar.bz2 
 --> da0444fcd7aabb7762310cdf2047fd0aeb7a9ed97a3d6b80d62a0fc71e0730bf  0002-r8168-8.040.00.tar.bz2
tar -xjf 0002-r8168-8.040.00.tar.bz2 
cd r8168-8.040.00/
sudo make
sudo make install

then you need to blacklist r8169, cross fingers and reboot
