Re: [Solved]Slow internet with a mobile hotspot and fast on the other.

That's for an "W311MI  v6.0  AX300 Wi-Fi 6 Wireless Nano USB Adapter" which is *completely* not the dongle/chip you're currently using?
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?O=0& … &submit=Go

So, I should try installing one of these packages and see what works for me? Okay, let's try this, hope this works.

Thanks,
LL

Re: [Solved]Slow internet with a mobile hotspot and fast on the other.

Unfortunately, installing the aic8800d80-dkms did not improve any network performance.

And trying to install the aic8800-dkms gives these errors-

I already had a doubt about aic8800d80-dkms, as it said AX900 and I am using AX300.

Re: [Solved]Slow internet with a mobile hotspot and fast on the other.

I managed to install the aic8800-dkms, it looks like the packages sha512 checksum and it's version in PKGBUILD were outdated, had to update them with nano.

But after installing this, there was not much improvement, only the upload speed got better, 2.12Mb/s but the download speed got even more stable. But the internet speed is still capped at 500KB/s.

I think there is a hard limit set by some configuration/setting for my mobile phone? Because other mobile phones are doing better than this much newer phone.  The POCO M3 doesn't even supply a stable 1.2 MB/s in torrent, but this give 18MB/s in torrents!

Here is the logs-

Signal is much better, but there's no sign of any aic chip.

Maybe let's start with what hardware you're actually using

Thanks for the suggestion of changing the usb adapter's location, now I can use wi-fi from the other room, in case my family is using it.

Thanks,

Re: [Solved]Slow internet with a mobile hotspot and fast on the other.

I also tried using usb tethering to see if the output of my mobile phone was low, but it seems like that usb tethering gave okay results with 9Mb/s of download and average 1Mb/s of upload speed.

Edit- Okay, this is getting ridiculous, I just got a 4Mb/s download with 18Mb/s upload on wi-fi??????

Re: [Solved]Slow internet with a mobile hotspot and fast on the other.

You're not measuring this with some bittorrent client, are you?

Get ABBS - there's a basic speedtest against linode servers in that.

Re: [Solved]Slow internet with a mobile hotspot and fast on the other.

I don't know what happened, but I just did a speedtest from google right now and the speed is 45Mb/s download and 2Mb/s upload.

I think this was fixed by the aic8800-dkms packages and by updating to the latest version of arch. Changing the router location to the front did help.

Here are the logs if they matter-

There's no aic chip in that journal, "lsmod | grep 88", but you've a very good signal now
