[Bug 1409102] Re: WiFi is slower on Ubuntu than Windows.

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Sorry I have not been checking up on this bug recently :(
A few changes to my computer, and I completely forgot to keep checking up on my Launchpad account :/
Chris, I will run that command "apport-collect 1409102" in a terminal right now.


** Tags added: apport-collected wily

** Description changed:

  My wireless internet connection, no matter what dongle I use as an
  interface, is always slower and I have more DNS issues "unable to find
  website" than what I ever get on even the Windows 10 Developer Beta
  running on my same machine within a different hard disk.
  
  Using Ubuntu, my internet connection will often slow to a screeching
  halt, videos fail to stream properly from popular sites a'la Youtube or
  such, I get DNS issues reported by Chrome and Firefox in which my
  current connection cannot "find" a website although connected, and last
  but not least, my connection will cut in and out intermittently though I
  have set the MAC address of my router as the BSSID. Windows 10 does not
  give me these issues, and has been more stable connectivity-wise from
  day one of the first public beta of Windows 10.
  
  Something is terribly wrong, and I do not know what. I have tried what
  seems like everything to fix the problem, and I still have the same
  issues. If Ubuntu cannot support common wireless devices and drivers,
  why would the general public want to prefer Ubuntu over something more
  stable?
