gnome-nettool package

ubuntu slows down network

Asked by Leo van den Berge

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (32) installed on a HP G62 (i5 processor) connected with wifi.
router = netgear WNR3500L
It's working great, speedtest showing 41/48 Mbps down/up.

However, other equipment in the house virtually comes to a halt.
Windows laptop goes under 1 Mbps down/up.
But also ipad, iphone, android phone, all are freezing.
As soon as i disconnect the wifi on ubuntu, other equipment goes back to normal speeds.

Have not included further detail is i have no clue where to start....

Thanks for any help / suggestions.
