I assume this is your router or access point:
Address: <MAC 'virginmedia2835376' [AC1]>
Channel:11
Frequency:2.462 GHz (Channel 11)
Quality=56/70 Signal level=-54 dBm
Encryption key:on
ESSID:"virginmedia2835376"
Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 11 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s
24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s
Bit Rates:6 Mb/s; 9 Mb/s; 12 Mb/s; 48 Mb/s
Mode:Master
Extra:tsf=0000001de0638191
Extra: Last beacon: 2840ms ago
IE: IEEE 802.11i/WPA2 Version 1
Group Cipher : TKIP
Pairwise Ciphers (2) : CCMP TKIP
Authentication Suites (1) : PSK
IE: WPA Version 1
Group Cipher : TKIP
Pairwise Ciphers (2) : CCMP TKIP
Authentication Suites (1) : PSK
First, check the settings in the router. WPA2-AES is preferred; not any WPA and WPA2 mixed mode and certainly not TKIP. Second, if your router is capable of N speeds, you may have better connectivity with a channel width of 20 MHz in the 2.4 GHz band instead of automatic 20/40 MHz, although it is likely to affect N speeds. I also have better luck with a fixed channel, either 1, 6 or 11, rather than automatic channel selection. Also, be certain the router is not set to use N speeds only; auto B, G and N is preferred. After making these changes, reboot the router.
Next, I recommend that your regulatory domain be set explicitly. Check yours:
sudo iw reg get
If you get 00, that is a one-size-maybe-fits-all setting. Find yours here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2 Then set it temporarily:
sudo iw reg set IS
Of course, substitute your country code if not Iceland. Set it permanently:
sudo nano /etc/default/crda
Change the last line to read:
REGDOMAIN=IS
Proofread carefully, save and close the text editor.
Reboot the computer and the router and let us hear if there is any improvement.

The connection I am trying now is Adam Wifi. I renamed the wifi SSID when the changes were done. I did that because I coulld not understand if the wifi setting that I changed on the router were saved or not. The "dmesg -w" output can be found here - paste.ubuntu.com/26509845
