Wifi is really slow if i don't keep reseting it on linux

General system Newbie

This started some weeks ago, my wifi connection gets really slow and to solve it i need to turn it on and off in linux.

Speedtest-cli when restart the connection:
Download: 33.22 Mbit/s
Upload: 42.04 Mbit/s

Same test when i don’t restart the wifi after some time:
Download: 6.27 Mbit/s
Upload: 5.83 Mbit/s

Well i really don’t have anything more to say about the error, is just that, i have to keep turning my internet on and off or else it will run very slow.

Here some information about my machine that i got with the help of endeavour log tool:

inxi -Fxxc0z
https://clbin.com/LSLm4

journalctl -b -0
https://clbin.com/CyPtx

lspci -vnn

Also i think is worth noting that i update my system one time a week and that my internet speed is supposed to be 50 mega bytes.

Your wifi is slow generally (i.e. between this and other devices on the same network), or only your Internet connection from this one device is slow?

The wifi only gets slow in this way on the desktop and to fix it i have to restart the wifi (i disconnect and connect again via the internet configuration menu on the OS). It is really simple to “fix” but it gets annoying real fast.

Possibly power savings kicking in. Have a read through https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Network_configuration/Wireless#Random_disconnections. Also note that the reported regulatory domain doesn’t match your flag, though that shouldn’t be an issue unless something else is using the same frequency (e.g. emergency services communications devices).

Going to check it out, thanks for the help.

You have not uploaded the inxi output but lspci output twice.

I have no solution for you, but you seem to be using rtl8188ee and when I google this I find plenty of complaints about speed. And this is for various Linux distros incl. debian. Looks like a generic problem to me.

Are you using a dual band router with the same SSID for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz?? It is looking like your computer is switching to 2.4 GHz after some time. Can you verify this?

My wifi adaptor in my machine only works with 2.4 GHz, and my 5 GHz is turned off and have a different name.

Sorry for the broken link, here: https://clbin.com/savBI.

I use this wifi adaptor for a long time now and just recently got this problem, it was never a super fast connection but it was a good one, now it lags a lot some times. Maybe i should try getting a new one.

Thank you for the reply.

The problem was the drivers, they are really old so with the new updates they stopped working like they used to. I decided to just buy a internet cable, now everything works as it should.

Thanks everyone that tried to help.
