Using NetworkManager (Gnome 3.12).
Not a problem of distance. Near the router:

What driver are you using?  Can we see the output of "ethtool -i wlo1"?

# ethtool -i wlo1
driver: rtl8188ee
version: 3.16.0-1-ARCH
firmware-version: N/A
bus-info: 0000:07:00.0
supports-statistics: yes
supports-test: no
supports-eeprom-access: no
supports-register-dump: no
supports-priv-flags: no

Weirdly, it seems I'm able to get full speed with torrenting files, (something like the Arch Linux ISO) but it seems anything else is slow...

Roger, I don't know if you're already aware, but there's this : https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new/issues/4

and the repo : https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new

Was aware of the repo. Thanks for the first link!

Seems someone found a workaround: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new/issues/4#issuecomment-56164684

I tested it and it works! Although I don't know if the fix is elsewhere in rtlwifi_new

That change is yet to be made, IIRC.

I'd punt that at github.

Is this still an issue?

I no longer use the laptop or this network card. Maybe it was just a bad card or a bad driver.

This bug can be closed.
