[Bug 1450755] Re: Intel Wireless-N 2230 4x faster in Windows 7 than 15.04 (iwlwifi)
Aaron Whitehouse, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better. As per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-
support/product/inspiron-14z-5423/drivers an update to your computer's
buggy and outdated BIOS is available (A13). If you update to this
following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change
anything?
If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.
Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.
Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then
please mark this report Status Confirmed.
Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
Intel Wireless-N 2230 4x faster in Windows 7 than 15.04 (iwlwifi)
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
My Intel wireless card is significantly slower in Ubuntu than it is in
Windows 7.
According to iperf (with the laptop a couple of feet from the router and the server plugged into it):
== Ubuntu 15.04 ==

[ 4] 0.0-10.1 sec 98.4 MBytes 82.0 Mbits/sec
Transfer rates for previous Ubuntu releases are about the same:

I have attached the output of Wireless Script, which should give all
the necessary details about my setup. Any thoughts would be
appreciated.
