[Solved] Weird WiFi connection in Arch / Pacman

localhost144 · 2021-10-18 23:25:27

Just a few days an Arch user, loved the installation and the distribution as a whole. However, I have a weird problems when it comes to my connectivity. First, the driver had to be applied to the kernel using dkms. Then, my network manager (dhcpcd) started disabling when enabling LightDM, and i had to use startx to get into XFCE (My DE). Then, after fixing dhcpcd, i had this problem, that i still have today, using Arch: Whenever i attempt to update the repositories (Using sudo pacman -Syy), or even when using yay (My AUR helper), my connection starts normally (Better than other distros), and it slowly loses speed, from 500kb/s to 400, 300, all the way to some bytes per second. That will also happen quite often in package installations as well.Here are my specs:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1500X
GPU: AMD RADEON RX 550
WiFi Adapter: TP-Link Archer T3U (Chipset: rtl8822bu)
Network Manager: NetworkManager

Why are you running dhcpcd and NetworkManager?

What's the output of...

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

I only run NetworkManager now, because else i cannot use WiFi

I actually fixed the issue by just typing

[options]
DisableDownloadTimeout

Now it works fine, actually better than before.
So adding solved to the title i guess

Not if you still have iwd enabled.
