WI-FI very slow on Arch after new WIFI hub installed.

Hi

I have been dual booting with Arch GNU plus linux/windows 10 for  a couple of years now with zero WIFI issues.
Then I got new WIFI hub/router CH7465LG.
Windows 10 is still perfect after reconnect and password.
all other devices in household are perfect Including various linux(non-arch) computers.

but on arch the WIFI has slowed to a crawl I am measuring speeds in the 100 kps range instead of 50Mbps.
If I get a measurement at all.
I can see the device and connect to it. and reporting tools like wavemon are reporting high bit rates and strong signal strength.


Output of $iw wlp2s0b1 info

Interface wlp2s0b1

Any idea why this happened and how I can resolve it?

Re: WI-FI very slow on Arch after new WIFI hub installed.

What are the output of iw phy and of iw dev wlp2s0b1 info

And, as a sanity check, systemctl list-unit-files --state enabled

Re: WI-FI very slow on Arch after new WIFI hub installed.

Sorry, I meant iw dev wlp2s0b1 link   not info,

The unit files that are enabled looks just fine.

Re: WI-FI very slow on Arch after new WIFI hub installed.

The link looks reasonable.  The 20MHz bandwidth will limit you to 50Mb/s or so.  The link says ir is 48 down and 65 up. And your signal strength is very strong (30 dB better than my system).  You must be right on top of the router.

Is this a dynamic address, or is it static?
How is the bit rate communicating with other devices on the LAN (as opposed to the Internet)
Any chance there is an address colision?
Do you have any other network interfaces, and are they up?

What are the output of cat /proc/net/wireless and of /proc/net/dev

Re: WI-FI very slow on Arch after new WIFI hub installed.

Drop the firewall and check the journal on whether networkmanager goes on a re-connect orgy.
Also consult dmesg on whether bcma/brcmsmac pops up.

You can also try the broadcom-wl and b43-legacy drivers, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_wireless

The original router is still there as it is a multipurpose device its runs Cable TV as well and phone.
but even with it switched off, problem persists, no other network interfaces and it is dynamic address.

Re: WI-FI very slow on Arch after new WIFI hub installed.

b43 doesn't support the BCM4313 so that message is irrelevant (at least as a single occurrence)

Check the whole "sudo journalctl -b" (if you intend to post it, please omit the "-x")

I tried to install "broadcom-wl" but after re-boot , the wifi interface disappeared from network manager and no option to reconnect to it.
So then I unistalled it and tried the b43-firmware and in turn the  b43-firmware-legacy but cannot see any difference.
Not sure what the procedure is for changing drivers like this.

Re: WI-FI very slow on Arch after new WIFI hub installed.

I put in a LIve CD into same computer that has many distros on it and with KNoppix and Mint I am able to get much faster use-able wifi.

Mint uses network manger and  same driver and kernel module as Arch.



Kernel driver in use: bcma-pci-bridge
Kernel modules: bcma

This suggests to my mind the brcmsmac  driver is not the problem,

Should I continue to try and get "broadcom-wl" working or do you think the problem/solution lies elsewhere?

Re: WI-FI very slow on Arch after new WIFI hub installed.

You could try the lts kernel and there're also some logged issues (corrupt AP responses, beacon losses, disconnects by local choice) - I'd suggest to post a complete journal to show what exactly is going on on that system and in what time/order.
You can "sudo journalcl -b | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io" to upload a complete journal.

Re: WI-FI very slow on Arch after new WIFI hub installed.

Hi

I tried the  Lts kernal , no difference

here's the log , I had to connect to the Ethernet wired connection to upload it at end as wifi is so slow.
So there is some chatter about that connection at end of log, as i plugged it in.

Re: WI-FI very slow on Arch after new WIFI hub installed.

Does the PREV_AUTH_NOT_VALID happen more often in a longer session?
What if you stop networkmanager and connect w/ wifi-menu?
