Wifi link speed randomizing and usually slow
I'm usually turn on my Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and my wifi connection stay at 5Mb/s. My access point is aside my laptop, ~2 meters. Other PC and SO connect to it at 100Mb/s, including our smartphones. Sometimes I turn on my Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and my wifi is 40, or 72, but most part of time is 5MB/s.
In Wi-Fi Settings, I can see:
Signal Strength: Good
Link speed: 5Mb/s
Security: WPA2
And using shell command:
$ sudo iwconfig
wlp2s0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"Marte"
Bit Rate=5.5 Mb/s Tx-Power=200 dBm
Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality=63/70 Signal level=-47 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
$ sudo lshw -class network
