Poor link quality in Ubuntu
Posted: Wed May 05, 2010 8:04 pm
Hello, i've set up the wireless in ubuntu 9.4
It's all working (i can connect and all) but the link quality is quite bad, i can't figure out why.
Here's my iwconfig output:
Note that link quality is very bad but signal level is at max, indeed the server is very near the router (a couple of meters).
Here's my /etc/network/interfaces file:
any idea ?
