My download and upload speeds are down to .5 mbps and 1 mbps respectively. They should be around 43mI just installed 15.10 on a first gen yoga 13.
I've tried swapping drivers and steps from this article: http://itsfoss.com/speed-up-slow-wifi-connection-ubuntu/
No success.
Any guidance would be appreciated in troubleshooting this.
The network card is a Realtec rtl8723au:

Best Answer
A couple of full power cycles fixed it for me (powering all the way down! Not rebooting/resetarting). Reboots did not solve my issue.
The driver I was having issues with was the original driver for this wireless card provided by Larry Finger (and added to the Linux kernel). Jes Sorensen, the current driver maintainer, says that the driver may not be powering up the chip correctly/ it may not fully know the correct power sequence.
The current maintainer says you can try his new driver rtl8xxxu. It isn't yet part of a linux release that I am aware, but he gave me a link to his Kernel fork if you want to compile it and give it a try: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/jes/linux.git/log/?h=rtl8723au-mac80211 ( you can see in the log he added the rtl8xxxu on 10/14/2015 ) It should be in one of the upcoming releases.
I'm too lazy to compile a kernel and I am just going with power cycles when my network speed drops.
