#Slow Download Speed

I recently asked this but I guess it got deleted?
But anyways, ever since I installed Linux, I notice my download speed seems to be limited. As if installing Linux somehow lowered the "Limit" my network speed (Basically, it feels like the Network speed is being prevented from going higher than a 1/4 of what it can do).
Other devices on the network that never had Linux installed on them are fine. But my laptop and computer are much slower ever since I installed it.
Even doing a Speed Test shows that its not going nearly as fast as it should be.

Wifi connection?

On the laptop, run in terminal sudo sed -i 's/wifi.powersave = 3/wifi.powersave = 2/' /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf

#

Reboot and see if it helps

sed 'finds and replaces' a string of text, with another, much like in a word processor. it is doing this to the powesave conf file in that path

#

sed = searching edit

Computer is Dual Boot.

#

junior kettle
fringe drift
#

are the back antenna connected?

junior kettle
#

Not sure. Should I disconnect the wire and connect wirelessly?

fringe drift
#

well first u should check there's an antenna sticking out the back of your desktop's wifi card.

junior kettle
fringe drift
#

heh

#

u could've also just opened the conf file as root , and in root text editor, put a 2 in place of the 3.

junior kettle
#

My bad. I got lost. I wasnt sure where the antenna was or where the Wireless Nic was. And did some thinking.

fringe drift
#

isn't an obvious thing that sticks out?

junior kettle
#

If it was that obvious? No. I didnt see it

fringe drift
#

maybe ur case is all plastic?

#

in which case it wouldnt

anyway

SOLVED
