Re: [Trisquel-users] Wireless Problem

[amenex]

My Thinkpad T420 with a Thinkpenguin wifi usb dongle was experiencing the  
same flakiness as tdlnx a couple of months ago, but I did two things that  
appear to have cured the problem: (1) Unplug the dongle from the USB port and  
plug it in again a few times to clean off the contacts; and (2) Re-orient the  
antenna on the router. My connection went from 6kb/s to around 60kb/s, which  
isn't lightning fast but is acceptable for web browsing and for keeping my  
Trisquel 7 installation up to date. It doesn't lose connectivity any more,  
either.
