Wifi speed only 6Mb/s

Support & Help Requests Hardware
#1

Hi,

I’m pretty new to Ubuntu Mate 17.10. Everything is going well so far, but for one thing. My Wifi connection is pretty slow. If I do a Connection Information it tells me the speed is only 6Mb/s.

I looked about and did try this:

sudo modprobe -r rtl8723be
sudo modprobe -v rtl8723be ant_sel=1 or sudo modprobe -v rtl8723be ant_sel=2

But 1 made it go to 1Mb/s and 2 made it stay at 6Mb/s.

I also did manage to extract this information if it helps:

Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction?

Perhaps you could put your question to the ubuntu forums site -

https://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=336

They will want to see the results of their wireless-info script. See -

wget -N -t 5 -T 10 https://github.com/UbuntuForums/wireless-info/raw/master/wireless-info && \
chmod +x wireless-info && \
./wireless-info

This will download the script, make it executable, and run it, all in a row.
