Dell Latitude 3400 slow download speed on linux
Hello,
Recently i've moved from a desktop PC to a laptop device. Laptop came originally with Windows pre-installed so i didn't wanted to lose it. I changed in BIOS the HDD from RAID to AHCI and installed with DualBoot. Everything seems to work perfectly except the download speed (both on WiFi and LAN).
Tests done- Speedtest.net over WiFi - laptop/Ubuntu: ~40MB download / ~400MB upload
- Speedtest.net over LAN - laptop/Ubuntu: ~30MB download / ~400MB upload
- Speedtest.net over LAN - laptop/Windows: ~300MB download / ~400MB upload
- Speedtest.net over LAN - laptop/CentOS Live CD: ~300MB download / ~400MB upload
- Speedtest.net over LAN - PC/Ubuntu 18LTS: ~300MB download / ~400MB upload
- scp (copy via LAN) - PC -> laptop: ~8MB speed
scp (copy via LAN) - laptop -> PC: ~100MB speed

I've tried updating OS, different drivers (r8168-dkms, r8169), changing MTU, disabled IPv6 and other suggested changes but none of them worked.
Seems like i'm out of ideas and luck. Any advice is appreciated.
EDIT 1It seems like Windows and Ubuntu uses the same SSID over Wifi - but it's still unclear why download is limited through both Wifi and LAN.

Update 3
I've wiped the HDD removing windows and bootmanager and installed CentOS7 - hoping that based on LiveCD it's going to work but it failed with the same result: 30Mbps download speed and 400Mbps upload speed.

Hi kemenyes.robert,
I had a similar problem.
I noticed that when upgrading the ubuntu 18.04 kernel to version 5.0, the network interface was slow.
I installed Ubuntu 18.04.2 and kept the 4.18.0-18 kernel and the problem did not occur.
If you install version 18.04.3 it already comes with kernl 5.0 installed.
