Q:

Wireless connection slow/inconsistent after fresh install Ubuntu 14.04 (Realtek RTL8188EE)

I have been running Ubuntu 14.04 using the dev builds for a over a month with no issue. Then I upgraded on the official release date and issue started. I got frustrated and did a fresh install and still have same issue.
I can connect to my wireless network just fine, but my connect strength and speed is very sporadic. It seems to oscillate from very slow to normal really quickly like a wave. The ping results below with my router might illustrate this.
Pinging router, normal to low load:

########## wireless info END ############

EDIT:
My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite S55-A5294.
After upgrading my kernel to 3.14.1 and 3.14.2 (currently using) my wireless is now usable sometimes (which makes me happy).
I lose 0% of packets about 70% of the time and anywhere from 1-100% of packet loss the other 30%.
Reconnecting to my wireless network is the only solution I found so far, but it does not always fix the issue.

I am unsure if these logs are any indication of the cause of this issue or just a notification that it is occurring.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

A:

This is a problem that I have also been experiencing. To solve it you need to upgrade your kernel manually. I upgraded to 3.14.1 personally.
Here is a guide on upgrading the kernel manually: How to update kernel to the latest mainline version without any Distro-upgrade?
EDIT: I also didn't realise when I posted this, but I have the same wireless card as you, so this should work. I can't guarantee on any other card.
