Wifi slow on EndeavourOS

General system Kernel, boot, graphics & hardware

Apologies as I am quite new to Linux. I had Linux Mint last week and the wifi on that was as fast as it was on Windows when I had it. I recently installed EOS and whilst I love it, the wifi is about a fifth the speed of what it was on Mint and Windows.

If it helps here is my hardware and kernel driver.
Network controller: MEDIATEK Corp. MT7922 802.11ax PCI Express Wireless Network Adapter
Subsystem: Foxconn International, Inc. Device e0cd
Kernel driver in use: mt7921e
Kernel modules: mt7921e

I was using Mint 22.1 which I think used kernel 6.8.

Welcome to the community @src_mtrl :waving_hand::partying_face: :enos_flag:

Please, no need to apologise for being new to Linux. All here were new at some point and I’m sure we’re all still learning in some way (I know I am).

Something to note with your WiFi adapter, is that in the Wiki it notes high latency problems with the MediaTek chipsets.

Arch Wiki > Network configuration/Wireless > 7.1.6 mt7921

There are some high latency problems with these MediaTek chipsets. To fix this, the only solution is to disable ASPM:

/etc/modprobe.d/wifi.conf

options mt7921e disable_aspm=1

This configuration file will take effect on next reboot or after reloading the module with modprobe:

modprobe -r mt7921e && modprobe mt7921e
