Public bug reported: Hello, On Intel Corporation Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 who use iwlwifi, the Wifi goes approximately (in my home) to 15MB/s in up and down on Windows 7, but it goes only to 5 - 6MB/s down, and 1 - 3MB/s up on Linux.
Before Ubuntu 11.04 → It was slow. After Ubuntu 11.04 → It was slow. On Ubuntu 11.04 (Only for test): The down speed is approximately 11MB/s and the up speed is approximately: 6 - 8MB/s The driver contain a regression for speed performance. Currently I use Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with Linux 3.18.1 (Vivid package) but the speed is already slow. The range of the card is reduced, and I take sometimes 2 - 5min to discover a network. Connection/disconnection to an other network can make a bug were the fastest way to change network is to disable/enable the card (if it works), or reboot the computer. It make this card absolutely not reliable because of the driver on Linux. ** Affects: linux-firmware (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-firmware in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1471794 Title: Wifi slow on Intel Corporation Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hello, On Intel Corporation Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 who use iwlwifi, the Wifi goes approximately (in my home) to 15MB/s in up and down on Windows 7, but it goes only to 5 - 6MB/s down, and 1 - 3MB/s up on Linux.
