Slow Wi-Fi connection
I have recently installed Ubuntu 18.10 on my laptop. I tried to install the LTS version first but the wi fi wouldn't work. Now after I updated my Linux it works but very slow(max 400 kb/s speed when on Windows 10 I have 3-4 mb/s).Sometimes the wi fi on Linux stops randomly and i got very bad signal even near my router. Any advice?
Laptop: Kiano Elegance 14.2
OS: Ubuntu 18.10
SSD 120 GB
Dual Boot with windows 10 pro
4GB Ram
It doesn't have ethernet only Wifi, ironically I used an usb wi fi adapter to connect firstly to wifi to update linux beacuse otherwise the wifi wouldn't work
sudo lshw -C Network

What you could try:
unload the driver and reload it with different antenna settings: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/412761 or https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=237619 posting 23
sudo modpobe -rv rtl8xxxu && sudo modprobe -v rtl8xxxu ant_sel=1or
sudo modpobe -rv rtl8xxxu && sudo modprobe -v rtl8xxxu ant_sel=2or
sudo modpobe -rv rtl8xxxu && sudo modprobe -v rtl8xxxu ant_sel=0or
unload the driver and load a different one: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/drivers-installed-wifi-card-still-uses-the-generic-rtl8xxxu-4175622767/#post5813975
sudo modprobe -rv rtl8xxxu && sudo modprobe -v rtl8723au
one last option could be to install and compile a driver from here https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723bu

it's strange that if I use my mobile to hotspot the wifi works normally but on other wifi networks it sometimes works for a short period of time or sometimes it doesn't
