I have been using Kubuntu for some time now and recently noticed my wifi has slowed down significantly. My ISP is Comcast and i am on the 8000/2000 plan with Powerboost. At various speed sites i am capped @ 8000/876. I did some research and i believe it to be a Kubuntu/Ubuntu bug. My wifi is capped @ 1Mbit bit-rate when I hover over the wifi icon. When I enter this code in terminal all my speed is brought back to normal 23000/4000 with Powerboost.
sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M
Problem is that it is lost after a reboot and reverts back to 1Mbit Bit-rate for wlan0. How and where can I put the code so it sticks after a reboot. I was thinking it should go into /etc/network/interfaces but I don't the format how it should be entered. I tried entering this into interfaces
iface wlan0 rate 54M
but the wlan0 loses connectivity. Here is more info:
"/etc/network/interfaces"
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
