Thank you, Steve for your answer :)

1- Regardless what release of Lubuntu I'm using, 12.10 or 13.04, same result.

2- The laptop (check my signature) is an old one. I'm sure it has
802.11g but the maximum speed of 802.11g should be 54Mbps and YES, I
know that is the theoretical speed and usually, the real speed is
somehow 50% of that so still it should work.

3- I'm using 802.11n router which is definitely compatible with 802.11g

4- I already have checked BIOS, nothing at all for Wifi.

5- I have already deleted the network form the network manager, did
not change anything.


>From my understanding, the speed of 802.11g which is 54Mbps (Maximum)
is the speed of data transmission between layers, etc. Not the speed
of the internet that your ISP provides you with. I might be wrong
though.

Now, I had an USB Wireless Adapter. It is 802.11n and when I connected
it and disconnected the built-in one on my test laptop, the speed is
getting better and www.speedtest.net is showing 8.something Mbps
(download speed) instead of 0.88Mbps and 1.something Mbps (upload
speed).

HOWEVER, and I still can't understanad that ... without that USB
Adapter and while I'm using the default Wifi built-in adapter on my
test laptop, the last test result from www.speedtest.net is:

Download Speed: 0.88 Mbps
Upload Speed: 3.something Mbps


O_o

How come the upload speed is much higher than the download speed? that
can not be.

There is something wrong maybe with the driver or the built-in adapter
itself? I do not know what is going on?
Never had such issue before. Maybe because I have never had a higher
than 1Mbps internet before.

Thanks!
