http://askubuntu.com – Ubuntu 12.04.1 with all updates installed. Laptop Lenovo Thinkpad X230 with Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205. WiFi sometimes becomes extremely slow. Often this occurs when I wake the system from suspend and connect to a different network. I find no obvious clues in system logs. /etc/init.d/network-manager restart doesn't help, but a reboot does. How can I go on with debugging this issue? In specific, which parts of the system should I try to restart (without a complete reboot)? I know of problems with Intel WiFi (see for example this question and the instructions here), but if tha (HowTos)

Stories similar to WiFi slow sometimes, reboot helps, how do I debug it?

Hi!I just bought a Lenovo ThinkPad X230 with the Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205 (rev 34) card. The first thing I tried on it was a Fedora live USB key I had. No problem connecting to my WiFi. Next I fired up the Arch install, and was able to get the WiFi to work using wpa_supplicant and its catch all example (with relevant modifications).

G'day people,

I have an IBM ThinkPad W700 running 64 bit Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala. At the office I normally connect it to the Ethernet since it's never connected very reliably to the wifi there (drops out 2 or 3 times per day, usually at the worst possible time, of course), but it always worked just fine with Netgear WGR614v5 at home...

Hi,I'm trying to create an AdHoc network from my laptop so my phone can connect to it and use it as a source for an Internet connection.

WiFi does not work: Intel Centrino Advanced N 2230 wifi chipset (For Dell Inspiron or other laptop):

Fedora 17 default install does not recognize this WiFi chipset because it does not include the needed WiFi firmware.

I'm running 12.04, and had no problems with WiFi until I installed updates last night (there were quite a few, and I'm not sure how to see what was installed). It might be unrelated, but it's the only thing that's changed.

I can no longer connect to my home WiFi network.

Intel Wireless 6250 33 weeks 4 days ago

Hi,Recently I installed Arch Linux on my Thinkpad X220, and everything seems to be fine hardware-wise, except the fact that my WiFi card (Intel Wireless-N 6250) cannot connect at wireless-N speeds.

I have problems with slow WiFi connection on my Lenovo notebook with Ubuntu 12.04. When I try to play MP3 or movie from my network / server connected to local network through WiFi, it plays really slow, buffer somehow. When I connect to network with cable, the speed is OK. WiFi signal is excellent.

Can you help me with that?
