Slow WIFI connection in Linux Mint

Post by ObiKenobiXD »

Hi, I recently installed Linux Mint in my desktop pc. I have a tp-link wifi adapter TL-WN8200ND.
I have dual Boot with windows 10, In windows internet works fine, but in mint works too slow.
I think it is some kind of problem with the modem because I tried connecting to my smartphone shared internet and It works fine!.

Any help?

Did you try setting your router to a different channel? More information in this article from the Easy Linux Tips Project.

Hi! thanks for your answer, unfortunately, the internet provider blocks any change I could make over the router.

You don't have physical access to the router?

I would verify that. It would think it to be unusual for an ISP to block changes to the channel over which the router transmits its wireless signal.

I thought he was talking about AP isolation of wireless users and the router not allowing setting changes by wifi users connected to it, meaning he needs physical access.
