Slow Wi-Fi with weak range


Hi, after I updated bodhi linux I have some problem with wireless connection speed and range. The Wifi stops working, when the notebook is more than 2 meters from the router and the speed anywhere is painfuly slow.
I added some information here: https://pastebin.com/KGf8VbX5 and thank you for any help.

i don't see any network adapter listed there. can you run lspci -v | grep -iA6 network and post the output here? if nothing is listed, you might try sudo lshw -C network.

the inxi output was a good idea, but f is mostly cpu info whereas F will provide lots more system specs that may be helpful. if you could run it again with inxi -Fxz that would be appreciated. you can post the info here. it is a little easier to read it on one page than switching between tabs if there is a lot of info like with your original lspci output, you can click the "Go Advanced" button below the typing input box and then enclose that output in code tags (represented by the # button in the toolbar at top) to make it a little more manageable.

Like cordx said: please provide the output of:
Code:
inxi -Fxz
With a capital F.

And also the output of:
Code:
rfkill list all
and:
Code:
iwconfig

The range seems better after I tried reinstalling something and rebooting twice, but I still have that feeling that I am making some very obvious mistake.

that makes sense as you are using a usb adapter. i hadn't considered that option

i'm taking this bit out of the order you typed it to check and see if you mean that things are ok now. is it back to working correctly as you had wanted?

i will add a few more comments and suggestions in case it is not, but wait for your reply before adding too much.

i don't believe that is true. the output you have shared indicates that for whatever reason bodhi is not recognizing enough specific details about your wifi adapter to do a very good job of using it. i will bold some parts that indicate such:

since the system is having a hard time identifying your adapter, can you post the make and model to see if there is a way to identify a possible driver for it?

one command that can manually check to see if it can find available drivers that might be helpful for your system is ubuntu-drivers devices. if you are still having trouble, you might start with that.

it may help to know what kind of update this was. just a regular apt update and upgrade or something different?

again, i will wait to see if you are looking for more help before adding more suggestions
