Hi people, I’m new here and couldn’t find some sort of internet/wi-fi category, so feel free to move this, if it fits better somewhere else.
My problem is, that my wi-fi speed always drops after I’ve installed the os. On the live-usb session I get ~40Mbps but with the installed system it’s only ~20Mbps. I had this same issue on manjaro, but didn’t find any help in their forum. I switched to endeavouros because it was faster from the beginning and seems closer to the arch experience I’m interested in. So I’m pretty bummed to find me with the same issue here.
Ethernet seems unaffected, as I’m getting the full 200+Mbps my provider is promising me. I think my Laptop is only capable of 2.4Ghz wifi so ~40Mbps seems fine to me.
Searching the web, I didn’t find much useful. Most people seem to have speed issues in general. I found some talk about duplex
and link negotiation
but these seem to be ethernet specific, as I can only find those settings in the tab for my wired connections but not in wireless.
Here is some info on my wi-fi card and driver in use:
$ lspci -vs 2:00.0
