Slow wireless connection w/ TL-WN727N

Hello there.
I have encountered problems with wireless connection speed. And I can't find working solution anywhere =/
Connection speed is almost ten times slower than under windows xp on the same machine.
I'm using TL-WN727N, which (as far as I know) has rt5370 chipset.

I found this:

The link there is outdated, however it leads to
http://www.mediatek.com/en/downloads/rt … 2-usb-usb/

I downloaded DPO_RT5572_LinuxSTA_2.6.1.3_20121022 driver, but could not get it to work.

gcc gives a lot of warnings and some errors. I made a crude fix for compiler errors (although I had dim idea about what I was doing). That made it to compile, but the driver didn't work anyway. Though I am not sure if this is relevant at all

If you didn't already try disabling hardware encryption on your card. You can do it with modprobe like:

# modprobe <module_name> nohwcrypt=1

To check if module is inserted with right parameters you can do:

$ systool -v -m <module_name>

There should be a string like nohwcrypt = "Y".

Thank you for replying.

I disabled hardware encryption as you suggested, but I didn't notice any significant difference.
