Very Slow Internet Connection

No, how can I try another one?

You probably have linux package as the kernel. Simply add the LTS kernel:

 sudo pacman --needed -S linux-lts linux-lts-headers

and reboot to the LTS kernel.

I’d recommend keeping the LTS kernel even if it wouldn’t help, because it is a good fallback after major linux kernel changes (that is in fact coming soon).

Ok! I’m trying right now. Just the time for a quick clonezilla backup :wink:

Take your time, no hurry.
Backup is always a great idea! :smile:

Done… Wifi stopped working completely :sob:

Clonezilla backup restored. I’ve found that if I get closer to the router, the speed increases, but only on the 2.4 GHz line. I got 70mb in 2.4GHz and 3.5 mb in 5.0GHz (with 20mb upload…).

Just a thought, have you tried rebooting the router?

Also, check that there’s not a bandwidth limiter or some other QoS active on there.

Yes. Nothing. :pensive:

Are you able to try disabling the n mode directly in the router?

You could also try changing what i gave you before first to the following.

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf

Add

options iwlwifi 11n_disable=8 swcrypto=1

You could also try setting the power saving setting.

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf

add

options iwlwifi power_save=1

Sadly no.

Done. Nothing.

Done. Nothing.
This is a mystery :sweat_smile::sweat_smile::sweat_smile:

Update: tried a fresh installation, same problem.

So did you try this from the archwiki?
Edit file /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf:

 options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1 swcrypto=1

and reboot?

Or if that doesn’t help, disable power saving of the wifi?

I’ve tried both of them. Nothing.
I’ve also tried a fresh install; in live environment it was all ok, after installation… Same problem. It is incredible.

Very strange. I guess we need some logs.
You could use the eos-log-tool in both live USB and the installed system.
Probably the first log, journalctl -b -0, is good enough for both of the systems.

This is my sistem’s log

The full log please… :smile:

What’s the command for full log? I typed “journalctl -b -0”, sorry I’m not a expert :sweat_smile:

If you have eos-log-tool installed, it is easiest with that. It saves the log into a file in your home folder. It also can remove some “personal” information. Then you can copy that file here.

Or something like this:

 sudo journalctl -b -0 | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io

but that does not remove “personal” information.

You can look here for more log related commands:
