wireless not 100%
win 7 hard wired and wireless are appro 50 kbps (speedtest.net)
liinux mint and some other versions get approx 50kbps wired and only 23 kbps approx (speedtest.net)
i only use wireless ,and the router is only 5 feet from my desk!
Is there a way to tweak any settings? »

Re: wireless not 100%
I really expected the "nohwcrypt=1" trick to fix it for you. Did you get any error messages as you entered each command that might have indicated something didn't go as planned?
Could you run the following commands from the command line one at a time and post the results in "code" tags:

Re: wireless not 100%
Type the following command into a terminal without rebooting and check your speed again:
If it does seem to fix it, we'll work on making it permanent.
Also I noticed you're still running kernel version 3.2.0-23. Is there any specific reason for not upgrading to the latest kernel? If not, you might want to trying doing the following as well:
Code: Select all
sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M

Re: wireless not 100%
Sorry I've taken so long to respond. I've been transitioning into a new job, and I'm not sure if I'm coming or going. I'm afraid I've exhausted the extent of my knowledge on this subject, but there is a thread on the Ubuntu forums for addressing wireless issues on Ubuntu. Not sure if he'll help with Linux Mint, but it might be worth a try. You can find the thread here:

Sorry I couldn't get this fixed for you. If anyone else wants to chime in feel free. Hope you find a solution and can post it back here when you do!
