[SOLVED] Ran powertop auto tune and broke wifi

moderndaytragedy · 2025-08-27 20:24:02

So after running said command i got NetworkConfigurationEnabled: false in iwctl
I added a main.conf to etc/iwd from the wiki to enable it
However when i try to connect to any network i get limited connectivity in network manager and i can't open anything in the browser
Iwd says wlan0 connected but i still can't load anything

I guess i did something stupid but i would like to learn what so i could know how to fix it any help appreciated thanks

NetworkConfigurationEnabled … main.conf to etc/iwd from the wiki to enable it … limited connectivity in network manager

Don't enable NM and iwd, if you wanted to use iwd as NM backend see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Networ … Fi_backend and if you want to use only iwd, disable NM
Reboot and post the output of

rfkill; ip a; ip r

moderndaytragedy · 2025-08-27 21:31:55

Disabled NM
So it seems like i have some sort of internet connection it's just extremely slow since i could open a text paste site and I also get timeouts instead of no internet
I don't think it a isp or router issues since I'm using the same wifi on my phone posting this

Please post the output of

iw dev wlan0 station dump

and your complete system journal for the boot:

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

Wlan0: https://ctxt.io/2/AAD4FL2PEg
Journal: https://limewire.com/d/IRbIM#PnHac0RU0T
The journal was way too big to copy paste on ny phone so im uploading it as a file instead

seth · 2025-08-28 09:13:49

The journal is mostly spam from kioworker…
Your "extremely slow" wifi runs at 324.0 MBit/s TX and 216.0 MBit/s RX - you could have piped the journal into 0x0.st even if that would have taken like 0.1s or so…

On a more serious note and assuming you're not *that* spoiled
What's your metric for "extremely slow" here? Ie how do you measure this?

Also, is the mt7925e usb dongle really the only network device in the system?
Have you tried another USB port (the signal at -60dBm isn't really great, the case might act as EM shield)

moderndaytragedy · 2025-08-28 09:19:07

Well i can't open anything in firefox it gives me a timeout
Steam gives no internet connection
Telegram sends stuff just fine tho which is strange
Also what usb device you're talking about? Im not on lan im connected to wifi

Also when i try to put something on 0x0 from terminal it just gets stuck thinking and never gives me a link

So i don't know if I'm posting this a second time because it doesn't seem like my previous post was uploaded sorry if u see both messages

It seems like most of the problem was a faulty dpi bypass since after disabling it i can get internet searches and steam downloads to work still can't open some stuff tho but i assume its because i don't have a dpi bypass enabled since the internet here is pretty restricted

Ill set it up again and then report if i have any other internet issues

So you can scratch the below.

Edit #2: feel free to open a new thread about the DPI situation and then please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

The USB device is the BT controller, sorry for the noise.

Also i don't have any usb controllers connected rn that's weird
Why is it showing up if i never connected anything today?

It's an internal device, wired via USB instead of PCI (kinda common, could have thought about that)

moderndaytragedy · 2025-08-28 10:29:08

Ah okay
Is there anything in logs about powertop disabling network related stuff since i can't get a dpi bypass to work but i don't know if it's a me issue or a country issue

moderndaytragedy · 2025-08-28 11:13:42

The dpi works i think (?) it seems like Firefox is having trouble with youtube specifically

seth · 2025-08-28 15:08:57

Your physical connection looked fine (weak signal aside)
Powertop doesn't show up at all (the changes are transient, you'll have to enable an autotune boot-time service) but TLP and KDE powerdevil do.
TLP will likely activate https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Power_ … interfaces and mt7925e has an "disable_aspm" option

systool -vm mt7925e

Arch Linux
