1. Poor signal strength
no, very good (1 meter distance)
windows installed on the same machine shows 100%
2. Improperly configured nameserver information (/etc/resolv.conf)
it's correct, because with ethernet nic works well
3. Improperly configured default gateway
it's correct, otherwise I cannot ping the default router from
the ethernet nic
other question
howto set (change) DS/1Mbps to 54Mbps ?
