Wifi, bluetooth, and DNS issues

Wifi card chipset: AX200
Wifi driver: iwlwifi

I’ve been having issues with my internet. It gets really inconsistent performance, either below average but bearable to way above average to completely unusuable. It turns on a dime, and it’s frustrating. Googling and reading threads made about this in the past didn’t help, unfortunately. Another thing is my bluetooth has been acting up. My wifi card comes with bluetooth, and I have tried using it, however, when sending ANY file over via bluetooth, it either fails or immediately disconnects, as well as bluetooth devices not properly connecting to my PC.

Hello @ridersoftheworm

You could try adding the following to /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf

options iwlmvm power_scheme=1

My /modprobe.d/ folder is empty

Then create the file iwlwifi.conf in the folder.

Thank you for responding. I tried this, and it unfortunately didn’t work. I ran “journalctl | grep bluetooth” to get this for you:

Not sure if you installed any of the Bluetooth?

There are some more configuration setting’s you can make for the iwlwifi.

I have Bluez installed.

Unfortunately, I think it’s something out of our hands, as at this point, I’ve tried everything, and I’ve read many threads where people have complained that nothing has worked for them. Thank you for trying to help, though. I appreciate it. I do find the wiki’s wording of the issue amusing:

Others found salvation by disabling N in their router settings after trying everything.

Yes that was one of the conf file settings to disable n. I wouldn’t do it from the router because you may have other devices that use it such as cell phone.

Glad that worked for you. Disabling N is okay if you have an AC router otherwise you’d be dropping down to G standard which is quite slower if it’s only an N router.
