Without your data from the garuda-inxi, no one here can help you.

there its my --garuda-inxi--

Try checking your speed at speedtest.net and if it's what it should be then you may need to change your repository mirrors. If not, then it's probably your equipment or an ISP issue.

another solution?

with teminal?

Here's the full meal deal on how to correct issues with the RTL8821CE WiFi adapter.



Disable Wifi power saving:

You can disable Network Manager's power saving features by creating /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf with the following command::

sudo touch /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf

Add the following contents to the newly created conf file with your preferred text editor:

[connection]
wifi.powersave = 0

Alternately, you can run the following command to generate the required conf file automatically:

echo -e "[connection]\nwifi.powersave = 0" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8821ce.conf

Then restart Network Manager, or reboot.


Install the rtw88-dkms-git driver from the Chaotic AUR.

If you have already installed any other driver version, then uninstall that driver before proceeding. Once the driver has been uninstalled, then install the rtw88-dkms-git Chaotic AUR driver with the following command:

sudo  pacman -Syu rtw88-dkms-git

Then reboot.


Create /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8821ce.conf:

sudo touch /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8821ce.conf

Add the following contents to the newly created conf file with your preferred text editor:

options rtw_pci disable_aspm=1
blacklist rtw88_8821ce

Alternately, you can run the following command to generate the required conf file automatically:

echo -e "options rtw_pci disable_aspm=1\nblacklist rtw88_8821ce" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8821ce.conf

Then reboot.


Add the pci=noaer kernel parameter to grub.

First, backup your grub config file:

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

Then edit /etc/default/grub and add pci=noaer to the end of the following line:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash rd.udev.log_priority=3 vt.global_cursor_default=0 systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=1 loglevel=3 pci=noaer"

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

sudo update-grub 

Reboot


Alternately, run the following command to automatically add the pci=noaer boot parameter to /etc/default/grub:

sudo cp /etc/default/grub /etc/default/grub.bak && sudo sed '/^GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=/s/"$/ pci=noaer"/g' -i /etc/default/grub

After adding the boot parameter(s), run:

sudo update-grub 

Reboot.


If the change does not improve your issue you can restore the grub file to its original state with:

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

After restoring the file, again run:

sudo update-grub 

Then reboot again.
