[SOLVED]Wfi connection slow .Ethenet normal.

My regulatory country is set correctly. The distance form the router doesn't matter , the speed differce is negligible amount.

iwconfig output :

How are you measuring speed? Do other devices experience the same issue or just this one? What hardware are you using for the router and the wifi card? What are you using to manage network connections? What's in the journal?

technicap · 2022-10-20 17:53:27

I meassure speed with speedtest.net . I meassured on problematic machine using wifi and ethernet . I also meassured on the wifi with another device and the coonection was dramaticlly slower only on arch linux machine on wifi . Router is Huawei HS8546V5 ,ISP provided it, and my laptop uses intel wifi buit into processor , I think, 9th gen. I use NetworkManager for managing my network.

In journal when connecting to wifi there were warnings :

NetworkManager[586]: <warn>  [1666271207.9729] device (wlp0s20f3): no secrets: No agents were available for this request.

NetworkManager[586]: <warn>  [1666271207.9732] device (wlp0s20f3): Activation: failed for connection '[REDACTED]'

Please post a complete log.

Pastebin was too small so used pastebin like tool listed in archwiki
Here is link tolog from last boot :

That's a lot of pcie errors. See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=274935 for something similar. Have you checked for newer firmware? https://www.intel.co.uk/content/www/uk/ … -1550.html has some fairly recent notes for Ubuntu, but I'm not sure if that would apply here?

If you've moved countries, the regulatory domain complaints might possibly be relevant, but probably not.

Can we please quantify "slow"?
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 6#p2017886

You're on a 54Mbit connection - ~3½ MB/s is about the best you can expect.
Was that on the 2.4GHz 'HUAWEI P30 Pro' or 5GHz 'Laitoswiatlowod6716-5G' (don't redact SSIDs; as you see, that's a pointless obstacle)

technicap · 2022-10-21 11:39:37

The connection is so slow on my arch linux machine ONLY on WIFI . My connection ,which I meassure 24/7 using raspberry pi connected through my ethernet, is 423 Mb/s download and 42 Mb/s upload.

Was that on the 2.4GHz 'HUAWEI P30 Pro' or 5GHz 'Laitoswiatlowod6716-5G'

This speed of link is on both of this access points.

Also ,correct me If I'm mistaken, the firmware is downloaded with full system update . I also AFTER this problem started I installed optional firmware because of messages in pacman saying " possibly missing firmware" thought It might be this but It didn't help at all .
The skript that you posted in this link said that 100 MB was downloaded with speed 1.42 MB/s in 64 s.

423 Mb/s download and 42 Mb/s upload

And how do you expect to get that out of a 54 Mbit/s wireless connection?

1.42MB/s isn't very good, but also about half of what you could expect *maximally* from that connection.

iw dev wlp0s20f3 link
iw dev wlp0s20f3 station dump

while connected to the 'Laitoswiatlowod6716-5G' AP.
And also

pacman -Qs firmware
systool -vm iwlwifi
systool -vm iwlmvm

On windows laptop

Is that the same laptop?

11n_disable = "1"

And that gets you to 802.11 a/g and that gets you a 54Mbit connection and that gets you slow internet.

technicap · 2022-10-21 13:17:41

No .

How do I disable

11n_disable         = "1"

?
Do I just do it in iwlwifi config file and reboot?

I did that . I changed disable_11n=1 to disbale_11n=0 and It worked .
