[SOLVED] Internet speed caps at 20 mbps

My Internet seems to be capped at 20 Mbps. I use dual boot windows and on windows it was a solid 200 Mbps

What is my config:

wlan0     IEEE 802.11 ESSID: "MOMCLICKTHISWIFI-Paul"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:5.24 GHz  Access Point: 21:21:21:21:21:21   
          Bit Rate=54 Mb/s   Tx-Power=20 dBm   
          Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:on
          Link Quality=69/70  Signal level=-41 dBm 
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:11   Missed beacon:0

What I have tried:

> Re-installed network manager

> Tried Iwd (Switching from wpa supplicant)

> changed DNS to cloudfare for both ipv4 and ipv6

EDIT: Solution: Refer to the last 4 comments

Please share the output of

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

Weird. Long ago in my quest to debug, I had installed and started iwd and stopped wpa supplicant but to no avail. Upon seeing the kernel driver, I gave it another run but the internet is still capped..

Re: [SOLVED] Internet speed caps at 20 mbps

If you're using NetworkManager then wap_supplicant.service should not be enabled, nor should iwd.service. NM will call both directly so enabling those services may cause conflicts.

EDIT: and please use code tags when posting terminal output.

Re: [SOLVED] Internet speed caps at 20 mbps

Okay, disabling the three. Enabling NetworkManager and rebooting

Done. Still seems capped at the same speed sad (Added code tags to the previous reply)

Re: [SOLVED] Internet speed caps at 20 mbps

I use dual boot windows and on windows it was a solid 200 Mbps

3rd link below. Mandatory.
Disable it (it's NOT the BIOS setting!) and reboot windows and linux twice for voodo reasons.

          Mode:Managed  Frequency:5.24 GHz  Access Point: 21:21:21:21:21:21   
          Bit Rate=54 Mb/s   Tx-Power=20 dBm   

That's an https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11a-1999 connection.
If it's not because of the hibernating windows, please post your complete system journal for the boot:

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

Re: [SOLVED] Internet speed caps at 20 mbps

I have already disabled fast startup. Now disabled hibernation too.

Meanwhile your command gave this: https://0x0.st/XJFW.txt

Are you currently applying any module parameters?

systool -vm iwlwifi
systool -vm ilwmvm

Re: [SOLVED] Internet speed caps at 20 mbps

Should I be using a module parameter? Man I feel this inching closer to backup, nuke n reinstall.. :C

Re: [SOLVED] Internet speed caps at 20 mbps

Re-installing will hardly do anything about a kernel module bug. If anything, updating the system (current kernel is 6.10.5) or trying the LTS kernel will.
Please post the output of those two commands in #9

Re: [SOLVED] Internet speed caps at 20 mbps

I think you meant iwlmvm:

Module = "iwlmvm"

  Attributes:
    coresize            = "749568"
    initsize            = "0"
    initstate           = "live"
    refcnt              = "0"
    srcversion          = "17D9C391FE4502CAD06AE07"
    taint               = ""
    uevent              = <store method only>

  Parameters:
    init_dbg            = "N"
    power_scheme        = "2"

Re: [SOLVED] Internet speed caps at 20 mbps

Yes, typo - sorry.
If an update or the LTS kernel don't help (that crash still being there) try to curtail teh features and add "iwlwifi.disable_11be=Y iwlwifi.disable_11ax=Y iwlwifi.disable_11ac=Y" to the https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_parameters

This should be reflected by systool and leave you w/ only 802.11n (which would still provide better throughput, see the bitrate)
If that indeed does work, remove "iwlwifi.disable_11ac=Y" from the kernel parameters and see how you fare with that (the immediate crash looks like it's in ax specific code)

Re: [SOLVED] Internet speed caps at 20 mbps

Seems it still gives 20 mbps:

Module = "iwlwifi"

  Attributes:
    coresize            = "593920"
    initsize            = "0"

    refcnt              = "1"
    srcversion          = "D1D3E7042D796751A9DBC0F"
    taint               = ""
    uevent              = <store method only>

  Parameters:
    11n_disable         = "1"
    amsdu_size          = "0"
    bt_coex_active      = "Y"
    debug               = "0"
    disable_11ac        = "Y"
    disable_11ax        = "Y"
    disable_11be        = "Y"
    enable_ini          = "16"
    fw_restart          = "Y"
    led_mode            = "0"
    nvm_file            = "(null)"
    power_level         = "0"

Re: [SOLVED] Internet speed caps at 20 mbps

Sorry, I completely missed

11n_disable         = "1"

that also disables everything above and perfectly explains the situation - it's not default, so figure where you're setting this (likely /etc/modprobe.d/* ?) and get rid of it.

Re: [SOLVED] Internet speed caps at 20 mbps

That and swcrypto seems to be present. Deleting them and restarting:

 neo ❯ cat /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1 swcrypto=1

EDIT: Just deleting 11n_disable entry, not swcrypto

That solved it.
This has certainly been a journey. Thank you so much Seth. You have no idea how much this has helped me. So many things that I have learned in this thread. Goes to show the power of Arch linux, linux in general, and the community it represents.

I think I'm going to stick around and help others in similar situations too. Cheers mate. You too Head_On_A_Stick!
