Eden VERY slow WiFi... - axis_75 - 2012-04-29 Just installed XBMCbuntu Eden on my netbook, and all working well except the wifi - which works, but is unbearably slow! Is installed on a USB stick with boot loader on there. Without USB I'm booting into Win 7. If I run speedtest.net when booted into win7 I get somewhere around 15Mbps down and 500kbps up. If I run the same test from XBMCbuntu I get something like 1-200kbps down and 500kbps up. I've done some searching through the Ubuntu forums and tried some of the options there with regards to disabling wireless N but with no luck. My guess is that it's a driver issue - atheron wireless in the netbook I think. Any thoughts on getting this sorted? Cheers! RE: Eden VERY slow WiFi... - vikjon0 - 2012-04-29 download the ubuntu desktop cd and check if it is the same. xbmcbuntu is ubuntu 11.10 try that first. If a problem test the 12.04. RE: Eden VERY slow WiFi... - axis_75 - 2012-04-29 Thanks vikjon0. Have tried both livecd's and appears to be the same for both. I have had Ubuntu on this Netbook before - 10.04 I think - and don't recall noticing any issues with the wifi then... What do you reckon? Head over to the Ubuntu forums for more generalist advice? Or is there anything more I can try? Cheers for your help, much appreciated. RE: Eden VERY slow WiFi... - vikjon0 - 2012-04-29 Quote:What do you reckon? Head over to the Ubuntu forums for more generalist advice?Yes, that is why it is a good idea to check if it is a general ubuntu problem. Quote:Or is there anything more I can try?Why not download the 10.04 desktop cd and find out? If it works it is perhaps possible to google a fix or why not stay on 10.04? Stay on 10.04 maybe the easist soltion if you do not care too much about being in the latest. There is a guide on upgradeing xbmc live to Eden. |
