[Sol] Router link speed fixed at 6 Mbps on wpa_supplicant after update

As title says, link speed of my laptop (wlan card : Intel AX200) is fixed to 6 Mbps to my router after an update. And this is making my internet speed very slow. THe link speed spikes little bit (to 175 Mbps) when I restart the wpa_supplicant service, but it comes down to 6 Mpbs shortly after which remains the same through out the time. I would usually get around 733 Mbps, but I don't know why this is happening.

Does anyone suffer from this issue as well?

Have you tried restarting your router?  There's been no notable change to wpa_supplicant in months, which basically leaves either the kernel/linux-firmware or some knot in your router, which incidentally was a recent thread with that resolution as well: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=285416&p=2

Restarting didn't really help. I have other devices connected to the same router, but they are working just fine (though they don't use Arch Linux).

Re: [Sol] Router link speed fixed at 6 Mbps on wpa_supplicant after update

fixed to 6 Mbps

How exactly do you determine that?

Post the pacman log covering the relevant update,

iw dev <nic> station dump
find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-40s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f
for ((i=0;i<16;++i)); do wget -nv --show-progress -O /dev/null "http://139.162.130.8/100MB-frankfurt.bin"; done

(that's for a linode host in germany, see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2073719 for more servers) and the complete system journal for a boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Ideally run iperf against another host in the LAN.

I'm using i3 window manager status bar and I have the connection bitrate shown in the status bar.

Re: [Sol] Router link speed fixed at 6 Mbps on wpa_supplicant after update

I'm using i3 window manager status bar and I have the connection bitrate shown in the status bar.

That's not a usable metric for anything.

bash: nic: No such file or directory

"<nic>" is a placeholder for your NIC (enp2s0f0 or wlp3s0) …
Also

systool -vm iwlwifi

There're no conflicting services, no firmware crashes and you're on a 5GHz channel

download speed is in the scale of 10s of kbytes

Can you run a local iperf to rule out a WAN problem?

Regarding iperf test, I do have a LAN computer that I connect to with ssh, and it is not letting me connect to it (Connection refused error). For WAN testing, could you throw me some flags or options for the iperf?

Shouldn't this be useful to see the maximum bandwidth available, so if this is bad, then other speed tests cannot be better than this?

Re: [Sol] Router link speed fixed at 6 Mbps on wpa_supplicant after update

Yes "should" …
It depends on what that indicator actually displays - I generally have little to no confidence in 2nd hand data.

It however matches the station dump. The latter also shows a way higher TX rate.

See https://man.archlinux.org/man/community … iperf.1.en
You need to run that on two systems, one in server and one in client mode (connecting to the IP of the server)

Re: [Sol] Router link speed fixed at 6 Mbps on wpa_supplicant after update

The throughput swings rather wildly (but is far from 700Mb/s)
What if you pass

iwlwifi.disable_11ac=1 iwlwifi.disable_11ax=1 iwlwifi.disable_11be=1

to the kernel?
(802.11n won't get you 700Mb/s but maybe a decent stable throughput and this would hint at the cause)

How do I pass those options to the kernel? modprobe?

The provided syntax is for https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel … mmand_line (and imo preferable for a transient test setup)

Re: [Sol] Router link speed fixed at 6 Mbps on wpa_supplicant after update

Are these results consistent over multiple iperf runs?
Can you connect to a 2.4GHz AP?

And yes. Multiple iperf runs are pretty similar.

Re: [Sol] Router link speed fixed at 6 Mbps on wpa_supplicant after update

Found the god dang culprit. One of the antenna cables that was connected to the WLAN card was unplugged. I have no clue how this happened as I am using a laptop.

Anyways, thanks for the help Seth.
