Drivers for Tp-Link TX50E Ax3000

LinuxBottler · 2022-12-08 13:39:23

I have a Tp-Link pcie wifi card. It works out of the box with Arch, but compare to my windows partition it does not work very well. my windows partition shows average wifi speed 10x faster than Arch Linus install.

How do I make it faster?
Are there any drivers I am missing?

Windows 10;
Arch Linux Kernel 6.0.11-arch1-1
Wifi card: https://amzn.eu/d/cpndrSo

Please post full output of lspci -knn .

install speedtest-cli , run speedtest from a terminal and post the output.

Welcome to archlinux forums

Thanks Lone_Wolf

And sorry for this *late response*

Here's the output from `lspci -knn`

Is the tp-link nic indeed and "Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6 AX210/AX211/AX411"?

Windows 10

3rd link below. Mandatory.
Disable it (it's NOT the BIOS setting!) and reboot windows and linux twice for voodo reasons.

Please post the output of

pacman -Qs firmware
find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-40s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f

and possibly your complete system journal for the boot (after a speedtest to charge the NIC a bit):

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io

Wired network behaves fine?

wire connection is fine!

Seth wants you to disable windows fast-start, the 3rd link in his signature has instructions for that.

copied here for clarity : http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dua … ibernation

V1del · 2023-08-02 11:41:43

Disable and stop dhcpcd.service if you want to use NetworkManager.

LinuxBottler · 2023-08-09 08:19:33

Hi all! I have disabled fast startup on windows 10 following the link in seth's signature.

seth · 2023-08-09 12:27:10

And?

Yes that too.

seth · 2023-08-13 06:56:09

And… what is the status quo?
Do you intend to post a system journal to support this with any kind of actual data?

We're not playing a game of 20 questions here, if we basically have to ask three times for every bit of information on the situation, the thread is going nowhere and I away.

LinuxBottler · 2023-08-14 11:12:54

My apologies setth. Yes you're right I should have provided the system journal with my first reply to you. I'll try not to repeat that again!

anyways.....

here's the link to system journal....
http://ix.io/4Dqr

wifi speed is still almost 10x slower than my windows partition

LinuxBottler · 2023-08-14 11:13:35

I get about 10-15mps download on linux and about 100mps on windows

You're moving from a lousy 2.4GHz signal to a lousier 5GHz signal on 802.11n - do signal and throughput get any better if you
* move closer to the AP?
* rfkill bluetooth (for the 2.4GHz AP)?

Does the throughput collapse (more) if you pass
* iwlwifi.11n_disable=1 # disables 802.11n
or
* iwlwifi.11n_disable=6 # disables antenna aggregation
to the kernel?
