Public bug reported: I get a new ThinkPad T440s with Intel 7260 ac wireless.
The dowload speed reachs an upper limit 400 kB/s instead of the normal 1500 kB/s I get with some other PC connected to my network. The speed often slows down very very low, especially when I'm far away from my AP. I use Ubuntu Trusty (Gnome) up-to-date. Removing N mode does not solve the issue. So I tried removing the wireless interface's power management in Powertop and it did solve the slowness issue. (iwconfig shows "Power management : off" in this case, obviously.) lspci************************ 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev 83) lshw************************* *-network description: Interface réseau sans fil produit: Wireless 7260 fabriquant: Intel Corporation identifiant matériel: 0 information bus: pci@0000:03:00.0 nom logique: wlan0 version: 83 numéro de série: xxxxxxxxxxx bits: 64 bits horloge: 33MHz fonctionnalités: bus_master cap_list ethernet physical wireless configuration: broadcast=yes driver=iwlwifi driverversion=3.13.0-16-generic firmware=22.24.8.0 ip=192.168.1.21 latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11abgn ressources: irq:61 mémoire:f0400000-f0401fff iwconfig******************************* wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"Livebox" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: xxx Bit Rate=130 Mb/s Tx-Power=16 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:on Link Quality=60/70 Signal level=-50 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:2549 Invalid misc:273 Missed beacon:0 ifconfig****************************** wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr xxx inet adr:192.168.1.21 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Masque:255.255.255.0 adr inet6:xxx/64 Scope:Lien UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Packets reçus:30450 erreurs:0 :0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:18296 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 lg file transmission:1000 Octets reçus:41761779 (41.7 MB) Octets transmis:1992389 (1.9 MB) ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: iwlwifi trusty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1289961 Title: Power management causes Intel wifi 7260 slowness To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1289961/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
