Slow wifi internet in Fedora 20
Good afternoon. Yesterday I installed F20 in a toshiba laptop. But internet is very slow, its highest peak is about 150-200 Kbps, but the goes all the way down to 200-500 bits per s, and then goes up to 50 or 70 Kbps, and then again down. In Windows internet is OK, but not here. I haven't tried connecting through ethernet. Normal internet speed should be about 620 Kbps at peak. Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188EE Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
EDIT: I also tested my speed in an online tester, but results are normal, it reach its highest speed, the same result as in windows, but pages are loading slow sometimes, sometimes load normal, youtube videos load slow and pause too much for buffering, torrent and downloads reach up to 200 KBps and then drop to say 1KBps or half a KBps, please hel!
EDIT 2: It seems to be something related to the updated kernel. Internet works fine with 3.11.10, but all of the above problems are with kernel 3.15.6
Try kernel 3.14
If the experience is persistent (not a temporary problem), there might be actually a bug in the latest kernel. It is helpful to check
dmesgoutput for errors with regard to WiFi. You might also runjournalctl -lfin a terminal window, then keep your normal browsing activities. When you felt a sudden drop in speed, check the window to see if there are error messages in it.Finally, you can try some intermediate kernel versions (e.g. 3.14.X, 3.13.X) to see in which version the problem started to appear. It would help debugging the problem. But do the log checking first.
