Are you using NetworkManager?
How specifically do you connect to wifi?
Usually, if you unplug your ethernet cable you would go from a wired connection to a wireless conection. Obviously wireless is always slower than wired. Can you be more specific?

im using network manager

#

i click the wifi icon and click connect

#

the router is just 2 feet away from my cpu

#

i also did a speed test in my phone, its a lot faster

You could perhaps try connecting through nmtui from the terminal.

If possible try running another distro (with a graphical installation medium) from an usb drive and connect to wifi, then do a speed test. Any distro works, i recommend linux mint.

This seems to be a hardware problem though, i.e. a bad network card. However I don't see why wireless would be needed if a wired connection is available.

i think its a driver issue

#

because i ran it in windows and the speed is doing good

#

i think its this i just dont know how to execute the command

#

to do it you'd change kernel parameters

#

which depends on the boot loader you're using

#

like the wiki says, 'see kernel module setting#setting module options'
