[ubuntu-za] Increase Slow WiFi Speed

[Bernie Swanzen]

This might be of use for some.

While downloading a 1gig file from a local University I noticed one of 
my fellow students downloading the same file at 4 times speed with a 
MAC.  (I am using Linux Mint 16).  I Immediately did a comparison via 
speedtest.net.

My download speed was below 1mb per second, with the Mac getting in the 
regions of 5mb/s.

Below a link with a couple of solutions I found that can be implemented 
for Ubuntu to increase WiFi speed - I applied option 3 from the link, 
and the results were amazing... I now get anything between 8mb/s to 
20mb/s from the same wifi connection.
