Using kernel 3.18.0-1.gfc82a91-default (note that all other kernel versions I tried resulted in same issue) On Lenovo G50 laptops with Realtek wifi (pci 10ec:b723) There is an issue where the max wireless speed in an excellent wireless environment with AC1750ac/n enabled is limited to less than 5 mbits/s There is an available driver set for rtl wifi from: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new that should be looked at for future updates. My experince has been that installing the code there boosted my wifi to 66 mbits/s All tests were run using iperf bewtween two OpenSuse 13.x machines (13.1 wired ethernet and 13.2 wireless).
