I have a wireless network. No security is activated. It works fine for some time, but after a few minutes the conection is really slow. The signal is 100%. I tryed to restart the network, but no succes. Rebooting Ubuntu solves the problem, but is not really a solution... However I identified when this heapens. It heapens when I move from the room where I have 100% signal in a more isoleted room. But the problem is that when I return to the room with 100% signal, it still works too slow. I belive there is a problem with the speed that is autonegociated on wireless networks(it goes down with the signal, but not up).
