[Bug 1426631] Re: WiFi signal varies and speed fluctuates

 

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v4.0 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".


Thanks in advance.

Title:
  WiFi signal varies and speed fluctuates

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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.
