The way I was doing it:

Download the linux.image....deb and linux-image-extra.....deb (2 files, for your architecture 64-bit/32-bit)

Install:
$ sudo dpkg -i linux-image...deb linux-image-extra...deb [Enter]
[password]

reboot

Test by downloading a file (from a good source, like a computer in your home network)
Use the same file (one, big, eg the Ubuntu ISO)
Note the transfer speed.

To remove the "test" kernel just uninstall it by:

sudo apt-get remove linux-image.... (IMPORTANT: check the version!!!) linux-image-extra.... (IMPORTANT: check the version!!!)
