Very slow connection on an Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN

Compared my internet speed against a Windows laptop via speed test and noticed a huge difference.

Ubuntu 11.10 (Up: 0.92Mbps Down: 0.92Mbps)

Windows 7 x64 (Up:6.84Mbps Down: 1.07Mbps on Windows)

Info as below: I have a Dell 1525 Inspiron, Intel wifi card (a/b/g) only. Wireless router only supports b/g. More info below:

lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

wlan0 IEEE 802.11abg ESSID:"Awesome"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: 00:24:17:80:42:91
Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off Link Quality=40/70 Signal level=-70 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:41 Invalid misc:1149811 Missed beacon:0

Clearly the n channel bug would not be the issue here. Also tried the IPv6 disabling solution which also did not work.

Please let me know if any other info might be needed. Have started using Linux only about a week back.

Cheers,

Desu

  • Okay something has clearly worked since I last checked and the latest speedtest run yielded these results; Down: 5.84 Mbps Up: 0.94 Mbps. My guess would be the IPv6 disabling was the champion trick!
