yes, you have to do this through the terminal

Cool, I am just letting you know that you have the option to do so :). You can still try installing the Intel driver using the instructions from my first post.

And by the way, if you are not happy with the new kernel, you can always go back to the old one. Just select it from the GRUB screen while the computer is booting. Your old one seems to be the 4.15 one.

Try to uncheck it, apply changes and then check it again and apply changes?

I see dkms issue in the output for installing the new kernel. Is it possible that your nvidia drivers were not rebuilt correctly for the new kernel? Try reinstalling them.

What about the download speed? Let's keep it one issue at a time

Did you forget to type `sudo` when running any of the commands in the wiki? Looks like a permission issue. Can you try it again and post everything from the terminal including the commands that you typed in?

Guys, don't forget that he is comparing the same hardware, with the Windows drivers and he gets good speeds. This means that whatever he uses for tests, should yield similar results in Linux. If he is getting 85mbps down on Windows using speedtest, it must be relatively the same on Linux as well. Which is why it must be a driver issue or something that he did to his network configuration in Linux, without realizing it

Also, maybe just do a kernel update to the latest stable mainline version? As far as I remember Ubuntu runs relatively old kernels, doesn't hurt to try a more recent one. Does Ubuntu have repos with pre-built mainline kernels?

Because quick googling returned mostly threads about issues with this driver. I have not done much research, nor do I have experienced the issue.

Well it looks like the built-in driver for your NIC is not very good (which is rare, especially for intel NICs), so you will have to download the one provided by Intel. Please take a look at this post with instruction on how to install a driver from Intel - https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/474035.

It all depends on how the network, that your ISP is providing, is set up. It also depends on whether you have to connect to a machine on entirely different network. If the servers, that you are trying to download from, are on the same network as you, then you will have very little bottlenecking potentially coming from devices like routers or switches on that network. But you will always have that, even in a home network, unless you run a cable between the two computers directly. Going out of the local network, you will typically have to go through routers controlled by your ISP, where they can start throttling your speeds.

And remember to keep an eye on the temps.

Or if you do not even touch your voltage at the beginning I doubt that you can do any damage. So get a feel of the rest of the knobs first and only then go to voltage. When increasing voltage, use the "+" key on your keyboard to do it with the built-in increments. This way you will not type in too much voltage accidentally. Just go one increment at a time.

Thanks, this solved it for me.
