[Bug 1813372] Re: Realtek r8822be kernel module does not negotiate 802.11ac connection
I have been in touch with several members of the Realtek module development team. They have provided access to the code for a newer module, called rtw88, which is currently under review. Based on comments from Tony Chuang and local tests performed here confirms that this new module better supports 802.11ac connection speeds than the previous r8822be driver. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1813372 Title: Realtek r8822be kernel module does not negotiate 802.11ac connection To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1813372/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Although iwconfig reports a bit rate of 866.7 Mb/s, it still appears that my wireless connection speeds are less than 300 Mb/s.

It appears there is a problem with my Verizon router.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v5.0-rc8 kernel[0]. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed". Thanks in advance.

[Bug 1813372] Re: Realtek r8822be kernel module does not negotiate 802.11ac connection
apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected staging ** Description changed: I have an HP Omen laptop with dual boot installed. It has the Realtek 8822BE wireless chip set installed, which when running Windows 10 works as intended, i.e., it establishes an 802.11ac connection with my wireless router with speeds up to 866 mbps. However when running my Linux environment, Ubuntu Studio, the connection speed is established as 802.11n, and is limited to 300 mbps.
