Issues with sluggish connectivity on Ubuntu 16.10
Issues with sluggish connectivity on Ubuntu 16.10
I've installed Ubuntu 16.10 and Windows 10 on my laptop. On Windows 10 the internet is fast, but on Ubuntu it's much slower—around 30MBs. Even at that speed, pages load slowly and sometimes stop working with Chrome. My laptop is an MSI GS60 6QE Ghost Pro, and I'm not sure what wireless chip it uses. I think I need some drivers for the wireless connection, but I'm really new to Linux. Help needed!
