Tested behavior with wpa_supplicant, no improvement in speed (15-20mbps on speedtest.net). Here's the result of the station dump:

I can confirm that the network with the bssid '48:4b:d4:6c:f2:ed' is still the 5ghz one (shown as 5220 signal level in wpa_supplicant). Sorry for the late response, I'm still figuring out notifications for this

Re: [SOLVED] Intel AX200 | 10x slower WI-FI speeds compared to windows 10

Is this still w/ "11n_disable=1"?
54.0 MBit/s at 5GHz sounds like it's 802.11a (where this is the maximum throughput)
Also please post the journal w/ the wpa_supplicant connection.

on speedtest.net

Please take the browser out of the equation and pick a static peer for more consistent tests, eg.

Re: [SOLVED] Intel AX200 | 10x slower WI-FI speeds compared to windows 10

Yes, this is still with 11n_disable=1. With the speed test you gave me, I got ~ 2.13MB/s (not mbps) using NetworkManager. Using wpa_supplicant I get around 2.24MB/s, so not too much of a difference. Here's my 'journalctl -b' using wpa_supplicant.

Yes, this is still with 11n_disable=1

You should test w/o it.

The journal segment only shows some "sudo wpa_cli" audits but no actual wpa_supplicant messages - I guess NM starts it in debug mode or at least not quiet. There're not even firmware crashes etc.
How did you invoke wpa_supplicant and did you terminate NM and iwd first?

=> Juse use wpa_supplicant as NM backend, connect with that and then post the complete journal.

I started wpa_supplicant with:

# wpa_supplicant -B -i interface -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

  as shown on the wiki. For the test above I did terminate NM, but not iwd. Tested again with iwd and NM terminated, results are the same.

Tested with wpa_supplicant as backend to NetworkManager (assuming this is done just by renaming/removing the file setting it as iwd) and got an average of 2.3MB/s on the speedtest (the one you linked me to)
Made sure to remove 11n_disable=1, but I'm not 100% if that affected anything, since I'm changing that setting in iwlwifi settings.

Here's the `journalctl -b` from this test

Sorry if I misunderstood anything you asked of me.

… sorry but NM doesn't say… sigh.
=> check "iwconfig" … you mostly waht to know whether this is a 20MHz channel or more (40/80MHz)

Ah sorry, here ya go:

	ssid SanCal
	type managed

Seems to be 80 MHz

Re: [SOLVED] Intel AX200 | 10x slower WI-FI speeds compared to windows 10

No, it's not your fault at all, just nothing seems to report the channel width anymore.

You're however on an 80MHz channel what means you're on 802.11ac or 802.11ax, so the underperformance cannot be explained by an insufficient protocol sad

The signal isn't super-aswesome, but also not super bad (I could get 16Mbit/s out of a weaker 802.11g connection)

You did connect to a diffrent AP on manjaro, though (SSID='I Dont Know' freq=5785 MHz - even if the SSID is obfuscated, that's a different channel)?
You could try "iwlwifi.disable_11ac=true" and "iwlwifi.disable_11ax=true" to avoid the higher protocols (start w/ ax and then try to disable both) and (hopefully) drop into 802.11n and see whether that gets you better results.

Adding "iwlwifi.disable_11ax=true" (to my iwlwifi.conf to anyone reading this) seemed to fix it, giving me 17.5MB/s on the speedtest, which is about what I'd usually get on manjaro / windows. Marking thread as solved, unless there was anything else you wanted to run me through. Will edit if it ends up only working for a bit for some reason

Re: [SOLVED] Intel AX200 | 10x slower WI-FI speeds compared to windows 10

It might be benefitial for future readers to know more about the context, eg. whether you're now connecting on a different channel or whether Manjaro (assumign you still have access to that environment) simply disabled ax ("systool -vm iwlwifi") and maybe what the troublesome AP (ISP router/vendor/model/stuff) is (assuming it's down to that AP, providing a flawed ax connection)

Re: [SOLVED] Intel AX200 | 10x slower WI-FI speeds compared to windows 10

Sadly the manjaro environment used before no longer exists. The wifi worked fine on my fedora install that i haven’t deleted yet, so later I’ll check to see if it has anything useful for future readers.

Would like to also note that it’s the same AP, just a different name/ssid. I’ll try to get more info on the AP later and post it here aswell

On fedora, it doesn't seem to be using disable_11c or disable_11ax. Here's the result of `systool -vm iwlwifi` on fedora:

Module = "iwlwifi"

  Attributes:
    coresize            = "389120"
    initsize            = "0"
    initstate           = "live"
    refcnt              = "1"
    rhelversion         = "9.99"
    taint               = ""
    uevent              = <store method only>

  Parameters:
    11n_disable         = "0"
    amsdu_size          = "0"
    bt_coex_active      = "Y"
    debug               = "0"
    disable_11ac        = "N"
    disable_11ax        = "N"
    enable_ini          = "Y"
    fw_restart          = "Y"
    led_mode            = "0"
    nvm_file            = "(null)"
    power_level         = "0"
    power_save          = "N"
    remove_when_gone    = "N"
    swcrypto            = "0"
    uapsd_disable       = "3"

Re: [SOLVED] Intel AX200 | 10x slower WI-FI speeds compared to windows 10

I don't know if it will help you but i've noticed a difference of speed (better) on my "00:14.3 Network controller: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-P PCH CNVi WiFi (rev 01)"  if i don't use iwd backend, no config of iwlwifi in /etc/modprobe.d/ and uninstalled iwd using only wpa_supplicant
kernel 5.18.x
