After installing Ubuntu and connecting to wireless internet, I found that the speed was surprisingly slow. I found a method online that has been tested and proven effective:
- Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
- Add the following line in the blank space of the opened configuration file:
options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1
- Save the file and restart. (I have successfully done this) The speed is now similar to that of Windows 7.
