Alder lake 1240p processor slow Wifi speeds- ubuntu 22.04

bf flag

I was getting good Wifi speeds before 1 month, but recently I noticed my wifi speed doesn't go above 54mbps in ubuntu 22.04, whereas it works perfectly in Windows 11 , I use TP link Wifi 6 router AX70 and as well as TP link wifi AC 1200.

My wifi hardware: iwconfig output (few info masked)

0000:00:14.3 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-P PCH CNVi WiFi [8086:51f0] (rev 01)

Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device [8086:0094]
Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
Kernel modules: iwlwifi

I tried the solution provided here 22.04 unstable wifi Intel Corporation Alder Lake-P PCH CNVi WiFi [8086:51f0] (rev 01) kernel 5.19 , But didn't work. I have the exact same wifi hardware, and tried with kernel 5.15.0-60,5.19.0-38 & even 6.1.0-1008, but no luck!.

Below solution doesn't work for disable n network in /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf

options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1 swcrypto=1

Please let me know how I can I resolve this, or any other driver that I can install?.

The driver parameter that you added has exactly the effect you are seeing: slow speeds. I suggest that you remove this line entirely from iwlwifi.conf:

options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1 swcrypto=1

Next, unload and reload the driver:

sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi && sudo modprobe iwlwifi

There are also some steps you can take with your router to help stability. First, use fixed channels, like 11 and 149, rather than auto-channel select. Second, Use WPA2/WPA3 only, not any mixed mode and certainly not TKIP. Third, rename the 2.4 gHz and 5 gHz segments of your router; something like myrouter2.4 and myrouter5. Direct your computer to use the 5 gHz segment only.

After making these changes, reboot the router.

Thanks for the fix, but I don't understand, I enabled this becoz of wifi slowness, but now I disable it and now its working!!, strange.

You got bad advice. That might help stability but not slowness.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
