I have a Raspi 2. I just installed Raspbian on it but the SSH session is insanely slow. I type something in the terminal, on my laptop and it appears in 10 seconds. I installed X11VNC and ran it through Remmina. It is unusable, and X11 says:

62 kb/s ?? I am literally next to the router. Anyone have an idea?

  • Is it a wifi connection? Can you run iwlist wlan0 scan or get an app to show the APs nearby. Are there some using the same channel? Are you using the channel used by mircowaves? Commented Jul 24, 2016 at 16:13
  • Probably not an explanation for your problem, but note that being "literally next to the router" does not guarantee you a good/better connection if the WLAN is busy; in this case all nodes must compete, which may cause a slowdown, and if it does, proximity is not a significant advantage. I.e., if there are a bunch of other devices streaming over wifi at the same time it will hurt your connection speed. But it should still not be that much unless "a bunch" is into the dozens, I think.

Try connecting it through ethernet. The most likely reason for this happening is that your antenna on the dongle is too small, so even when it is close to a router, it is slow.

  • Problem is, I've used this dongle for about a year now. It used to be much much faster. Commented Jul 24, 2016 at 13:24
  • @Bixqu Maybe there is interference? Commented Jul 24, 2016 at 13:25
  • Possible, but there's no way I can check that. Commented Jul 24, 2016 at 13:40
  • @Bixqu Then I do not know why this is happening, sorry Commented Jul 24, 2016 at 13:43
  • I got an ethernet cable and now it's lightning fast, both SSH in the terminal and VNC through x11vnc. It was the wifi dongle. Commented Jul 28, 2016 at 18:14

Try using Xming instead. You can download it from here

Also download Xming Fonts. Here is the download link

If you don't know Xming, you can watch this tutorial on how to setup on your windows desktop.

  • Oh, forgot to mention, I am using Ubuntu Linux not Windows. Commented Jul 25, 2016 at 16:21
  • @Bixqu Then my answer is incompatible. Sorry for that, but will try to figure out something else. Commented Jul 25, 2016 at 16:24
  • @Bixqu This documentation might help you to choose another Desktop Viewer doc link Commented Jul 25, 2016 at 16:31

Install Tight VNC Server, It's good for me.

  1. sudo apt-get install tightvncserver.
  2. Go to root user and vncserver.
  3. vncpasswd.
