![]() Update 2: I came across this thread for a macbook air (which has the same BCM4360 wireless chipset) which puts the issue to rest. Update: My 81Mbps speed seems to be an overestimate as repeated speed tests show that I'm getting no more than 30Mbps. Under Windows with the computer in this particular location I am able to get gigabit speeds. I actually see a connection of 540Mpbs immediately after connecting to the wireless network, but this quickly decreases to 81Mpbs and stays at this value. I'm getting a maximum link speed of about 81Mbps as reported by gnome network manager. I figured I might as well chime in on this thread as I'm experiencing the exact same issue with the Asus PCE-AC68 on Arch with kernel 3.14.2 and the proprietary broadcom-wl driver version 6.30.223.141 (the same as the OP). If anyone has any other ideas, I'm game to test them out. The README.txt file with the Broadcom driver here ( ) lists my device as supported, yet it is very slow. It seems I've always had slow wifi speeds with ubuntu+broadcom. I know that wireless-ac is new (and this card especially) but I can't be the only one having problems with this. WZCCoexist|0Since this method did not work for me, I removed the ndiswrapper driver by removing its components from:Īnd commenting out the "blacklist wl" line from /etc/modprobe.d/nf to return to the bcmwl-kernel-source driver after reboot. HelpText|The ASUS 802.11 Network Adapter provides wireless local area networking. ![]() ![]() You can certainly try to fine-tune the router's settings. That means that if you decide to try Mint or Suse or Fedora, you will find the same problem because we all only get the driver that Broadcom provides. Having said that, please be aware that the Broadcom driver is not an Ubuntu creation it is written by Broadcom. I encourage comment from my colleagues if they have better ideas. Frankly, the answer I have for you as to how to achieve AC speeds is that I don't know, and I doubt anyone here is more experienced in wireless and particularly Broadcom. You seem to have no conflicting modules loading.įrankly, AC is so new that I have seen but a single case confirming those speeds in Linux unfortunately, on an Intel device. This is the first time I've ever seen the interface enumerated wlan0. You are using the latest version of bcmwl-kernel-source and I understand it is supposed to support AC speeds.
