Atheros QCA9377 WiFi - Slow Download speeds

[tbg]

Have you tried adding the kernel parameters that were suggested in the link I posted?

@tbg

Set Active-State Power Management (ASPM) to off at runtime.

Create a grub config backup:

cp /etc/default/grub /etc/default/grub.bak

Open the grub configuration file located in:

/etc/default/grub

Add the “pcie_aspm=off” kernel boot parameter to the the end of the grub load line.

The line you will need to edit will look similar to the line below:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet resume=UUID=e677590f-a8b0-49ad-a6a1-bed005449d2f"

There will be many other entries with btrfs used with Garuda.

Add this parameter at the end of that line:

pcie_aspm=off 

The modified grub load line should now look similar to this (there will be many other entries with btrfs):

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet resume=UUID=e677590f-YOUR-NUMB-BERS-HEREo449d2f pcie_aspm=off"

After adding the boot parameter and saving your changes, run:

sudo update-grub 

Reboot.

This parameter will disable pcie Active-State Power Management (ASPM).Using this parameter should have minimal impact on a laptop’s run time while on battery.

Sometimes it is also best to add a further kernel boot parameter (as below) with Atheros wifi adapters:

pcie_aspm=off ath10k_core.skip_otp=y

Also:

Reboot (power cycle) your router.

Make sure your router firmware is up to date.

Test different kernels.

Test the linux-firmware-git package.

Test different DNS servers.

Disable IPv6.

Be sure your BIOS is up to date.

Please report on all fixes attempted.
