Extremely SLOW Wireless connection speed HP dv6 1320

[smoliji]

Hi, I have dual-boot Windows 7 with Linux Mint 17 MATE 64-bit I downloaded recently and I am having trouble with wireless connection speed. It works just fine, but it is much slower than with Windows booted. Wireless manager on Windows shows connection speed around 22Mb/s, but the Mint shows most of the time 1Mb/s (sometimes 2).

Is there any way to fix this? I don't remember having these issues with Kubuntu.

Check router settings, linux works best with WPA2-AES. WEP or TKIP will slow a connection.
If you find your settings are WPA2 with no TKIP or mixed mode

Code: Select all

echo "options iwlwifi 11n_disable=8" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf

Reboot

Router is set to WPA. Tried the command anyway but didn't work though.

In terminal

Code: Select all

wget -N -t 5 -T 10 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/57264241/wireless_script && chmod +x wireless_script && ./wireless_script

and post the resulting wireless-info.txt file
