It should then just request the gateway and IP via DHCP when the network restarts and you should be pretty much back where you started. If not, a new question wouldn't hurt and it probably wouldn't be long before you got an answer. | |

@JonathanS To undo should I do route add default gw 158.110.96.1? (The IP is taken from what was the output of route before). I'll try to investigate more and, probably open a new question about that if I can't fix it.

Depending the configurations for your laptop network interfaces, there may be an increased delay in finding a route or doing a DNS lookup. Best thing to do is undo the changes and see if your speed goes back up. Do you require a constant connection to your TP-LINK W8980 configuration interface? If not, then you'll be better off removing the changes when you don't need them and benefiting from the potential increased speed of a wired connection. As mentioned previously you could setup virtual interfaces as well. Investigate more, let me know. | |
| Mar 19, 2015 at 16:15 | comment | added | Bakuriu | Could your solution slow down the wifi network? In the last 2 days the speed of my connection is quite unstable and the speed, for most of the time, is orders of magnitude slower than before (I passed from ~ 5+ MB/s to a lot of time where I cannot go over 50-100kB...). I'm not sure which is the cause; I'm wondering whether setting the default gateway could have such an effect or if I should investigate more and eventually open a new question. | |

| Mar 18, 2015 at 2:37 | comment | added | JonathanS | @Bakuriu: Great. Glad you're able to connect. Yes this is normal. You're on a different network that doesn't have access to the other one. A private network between yourself and your router. Your wireless network can probably still connect to the university network via your router. Did you try enabling it at the same time? Also you can setup virtual interfaces (aka ip aliasing) on your eth0. See tecmint.com/… for details. This may work as well but is more complicated. | |
| Mar 17, 2015 at 7:35 | comment | added | Bakuriu | @JonathanS I've tried the commands you provided me and, finally, I can access the route configuration page! When connected to the router I cannot access the Internet though. Is this normal, or is there a way to have both things? | |

@JonathanS I'm using ubuntu 14.04 (although I'm a kde user, so I've actually installed the kubuntu-desktop package which makes the OS pretty much kubuntu 14.04). In this moment I don't have time, but later I'll try what you suggest and report the results.

| Mar 16, 2015 at 13:45 | comment | added | JonathanS | @Bakuriu: What OS and distribution and release are you running on your laptop? For instance Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS or Windows 7. I've updated my answer to provide some guidance on how to set the IP, mask, and gateway, but it may not be adequate. | |

| Mar 16, 2015 at 8:15 | comment | added | Bakuriu | I have no idea how to set the ip of my computer. Nor how to set a mask or gateway etc. I know what these things are, I know what DHCP does but how to configure all these stuff is outside my knowledge. Please explain how to perform the configuration steps, not just which configuration should fix the problem. | |
