[Bug 1426631] [NEW] WiFi signal varies and speed fluctuates

 

Public bug reported:

I have a Realtek 8188ee WiFi adapter.  Not the 8188ce which has been
previously reported on.

My WiFi signal varies about every 15 seconds and my speed goes from
normal to nothing constantly.

Changing channels on my router seems to help but it doesn't resolve the
issue.  I have seen other report of the 8188ce having the same problem
and it is related to the kernel since the driver is built into the
kernel.
