Hi all,
Using Fedora 25 on my laptop I found out it supports 5ghz. Great, some
more speed, since the 2.4ghz band is a bit crowded in my
neighboorhood....
However, both NetworkManager an iwconfig report only a poor 6m...:
wconfig wlp3s0
wlp3s0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"<very secret>"
Mode:Managed Frequency:5.26 GHz Access Point:
<xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx>
Bit Rate=6 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm
Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:on
Link Quality=65/70 Signal level=-45 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
Can't be that bad.... Luckily, my (Fritz) access point reports a
healthy 650 Mb. Also, downloading a large file goes easily 2x faster
from what you would expect from reported transfer rate.
I noticed this behaviour before, reporting only 1 MB on an older
laptop.
What's happening here? I look a bit like large number (>100 Mb) is cut
of to only the first digit. Anyone seen this before? How to handle?
