I will post this here because I like trisquel and its users. It might help
someone if they run in a similar situation..
A few days ago I bought a new router for my wireless comodity for the old one
got bricked after I fiddled with various versions of ddwrt :-)
Now, immediately after setting up the router I noticed it was teeeeerribly
slow. It downloaded files at the max speed allowed by my isp. Torrent and
video streaming did great; but it would take some sites like 20-30 seconds to
load completely (DOH!!)
I tried A LOT of things to improve it. I was going to return the thingie to
the shop i bought it from..
But I finally found the solution.
Apparently the router has some issues with linux (at least with trisquel and
xubuntu) and the only workaround is disabling IPv6
firefox or any of its variations---
about:config
network.dns.disableIPv6 -- toggle this to "true"
hope this'll help someone
