It didn’t worked out. After all the commands I was able to connect, but after few seconds it disconnected me. I undo the changes.
This is the output from sudo lshw -C network before the undo:

I’ll have a look and see if I can find any other possible fixes/drivers later, but for now I have to run … so check back tomorrow.

Okey, I will. Thanks for the help, man!
Just a thought, but have you tried simply setting a different wireless channel in the router.
and tested the speed with wireless security turned off in the router … just temporarily, so we can rule in/out encryption.
what’s the output from:
sudo iwlist scan
I am going to try it out tomorrow.
The output:
eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning.

lo Interface doesn't support scanning.
Okey, it’s super odd…Today when I turned on the computer, the first few tests was 40-45 Mbsp and I thought it is fixed, but after that it dropped by 10-20 Mbsp.
Then I try to change the channels, and again, it was normal for a little while and then dropped back to 10-20 Mbsp. I played with the channel width, mode, region - and again it was fine for a few tests only.
I also removed the wireless security and there was no difference.
Now I changed the channel from Auto to 13 and region to mine(it’s was US) and most of the time is 25-30, but still sometimes it dropped.
Everyone around you is on channel 6 7 and 9 … try a different channel like 11 or 3
and make sure it’s NOT set to auto
Sorry for the late reply.
I’ve tried all the channels, it seems that 6,7,13 channels are the best, they are between 15-25 Mbps, but I can’t tell for sure, because every time is different. Very rarely I have 30+ Mbsp test.
Just as a test … have you got a USB wireless adapter we could try … to rule in/out anything but the adapter/driver itself.
