A Simple Tip to Boost Your Wifi Signal Under Ubuntu/Linux Mint

The tip consists of disabling the power management for your current wireless device which will help improve WiFi Reception. 
 
You can use this tweak under Ubuntu 16.10/16.04 and Linux Mint 18 or older. 
 
Getting Started 
 
While your wireless connection is enabled, check whether power management for your device is enabled or not using this command: 
 
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
iwconfig</blockquote>
 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q0taR0HShII/WCHLgt__13I/AAAAAAAANmk/0RBBk5CDSLEDlZhLB1MuFPz7oPsW5d6lQCLcB/s1600/wifi-power-management-ubuntu.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="384" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q0taR0HShII/WCHLgt__13I/AAAAAAAANmk/0RBBk5CDSLEDlZhLB1MuFPz7oPsW5d6lQCLcB/s640/wifi-power-management-ubuntu.png" width="640" /></a></div>
 
 
For my example, it is turned on.  If it's off, then nothing to do, just leave it as it is. If it's on, then disable it as follows: 
 
Open the terminal and install first this package: 
 
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
 sudo apt-get install gksu</blockquote>
 
Edit now this file: 
 
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
 gksudo gedit /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf</blockquote>
 
The file contains these lines: 
 
<div style="text-align: left;">
[connection]</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
wifi.powersave = 3</div>
 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
sudo apt remove --purge nvidia-* </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
sudo apt remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-nv xserver-xorg-video-nouveau</blockquote>

sudo apt install nvidia-common xserver-xorg-video-nouveau </blockquote>
