Ubuntu - Problem with internet / wireless

Hello everyone, On my computer i have two OS Windows and Ubuntu,

i had some problem when using Ubuntu, the internert connection is very slow, but when i use Windows the connection is perfect normal.

I search on the internert for some help, but anything solved the problem.

By the way, i can't test the problem with a VirtualManchine, because i have another issue on that: "kernel apprpriate for an i686 cpu" . But, i'm working to solve this problem.

My purpose here, is to solve the Ubuntu Internet connection, i'll appreciate any help.

Thanks

Oh Hi Gustavo ,

Do you use Ubuntu on Ethernet or Wireless ?

I ever use Ubuntu on My Acer Laptop and The Wireless Internet Ran Very Slow Too. It turn out that I have to install proprietary driver and reboot a few times.

Thanks

P.s. To Install Proprietary Driver , The Easy Way GUI on Ubuntu :

Hi Juthawong Naisanguansee , i try to install the driver but i found some issues along the way. I use Nano Usb Adapter TL-WN725N (TP-LINK) as Wireless, because my cable connection had the plug-in broken. Download the drive here

Following the manual provide for TP-Link agency, i left the 2.2 - 1 and 2 exact the same way, because i don't understand what needs to change.

At the 2.2 - 3 and 4 i have a fell errors with the commands

"Sudo make" and "Sudo make install"

It provides a lot of lines, i'll provide a snapshot with the line codes, there are a few lines with "error".

Snapshot of the response commands

So, i have connection, but it's is too slow, like a 64 bytes of transfer, my browser take many hours just to open google.com i dont see why it's happen.

My Ubuntu is 16.04.2 LTS and My Windows is 7 64 bits (At Windows the internet if perfect normal)

I had search over the internet for some answer, but until now anyone works. I'll appreciate any help.

I look into the make file error. It is too difficult for me. However , I search on the internet and found this on askubuntu.

Can you try this step :
