Can you give the output of:

sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; uname -a; sudo rfkill list

Thanks

try disable ipv6....

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/bad_list

type:
alias net-pf-10 off
alias ipv6 off

comment all ipv6 in the /etc/sysctl.conf

then sysctl -p

If you run it all as one command, as I gave it, it will have been quicker and easier for you and there will be less probability of error. Please don't cut up commands. If they are on one line, copy the command as one line.

You could try disabling ipv6 with the boot option:

ipv6.disable=1

or try:

cd; wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/sysctl; cat ./sysctl | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf; sudo sysctl -p; rm ./sysctl

May help

created the bad_list file, didnt have to comment anything out in /etc/sysctl.conf because everything in this file was anyway commented!

rebootet but i still got the same problem, so nothing changed...

Thank you anyways. Any other ideas?

did not know where to disable ipv6 in the boot option!
but also after a reboot the second option didnt change anything :(

any more ideas?

run:

gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub

change this line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

To:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash ipv6.disable=1"

Save the new file, close gedit and run:
sudo update-grub

reboot to test. Nobody is born knowing how to disable ipv6 using boot options but there are plenty of guides around.With some very simple websearching you could have found this out.....

sorry, i just wanted to make everything right / according to your guidance....

i changed the boot options as you said, but it didnt help, still extremely slow internet speed while on wireless...

has anybody got more ideas that could possibly help? i just dont know what to do...

Could be interference with other wireless access points.
Please run:
sudo iwlist scan |egrep "Channel:|Quality=|ESSID:"
and post back here.
If you see too many networks on your channel which are of a quality near your's, change your channel. Only channels 1, 6, and 11 do not overlap to some degree.

the output is:

phil@d1asp0ra:~$ sudo iwlist scan |egrep "Channel:|Quality=|ESSID:"
[sudo] password for phil:
lo Interface doesn't support scanning.

eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning.

                    Channel:11
                    Quality=31/70 Signal level=-79 dBm
                    ESSID:"ThomsonC24304"
                    Channel:6
                    Quality=56/70 Signal level=-54 dBm
                    ESSID:"NerdRage"
                    Channel:11
                    Quality=32/70 Signal level=-78 dBm
                    ESSID:"PBS-5FCB6D"

should i cange channel? how do I do so? does it make sense to change?

anybody else got any ideas?

If your network is "NerdRage" on channel 6 you are OK. If you are one of the channel 11 networks, change to channel 1. Change channels by logging into the wireless router (usually enough to point your browser to
192.168.0.1 or whatever IP your router is set to). Also look into repositioning your antennas, your signal is very weak (if you are on channel 11).

im on NerdRage.

Has anybody got an idea what could help? i already did all of the things proposed to me in this thread....

ok i found out that the problem is my router i guess, because on an other WiFi network i got normal internet speed -

can anybody help me? what could i do?
