qualcomm atheros ar9485 wireless network adapter slow

Has anyone experienced the same issue, and perhaps knows the answer? I have to reboot my laptop every 10 hours so it works properly. So the issue with my network card still persists, and I'm unable to find any solution for this one. After trying to reboot my laptop, everything was working again. The standard download speed of 50mb/s dropped to 2mb/s again. This weird issue disappeared, I was able to listen to my friends talking without any issues.Īfter that time, everything seemed alright, however I noticed that after long time of using my laptop without rebooting it (say, 10 hours) the network speed dropped drastically. Sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/nfĪnd editing wifi.powersave = 3 to wifi.powersave = 2and rebooting. The fix to this issue was to turn off powersaving of my network card by entering this file:

The download speed was alright, but the network reliability was not very great. However, when I called my friend on Discord to talk to him, I was literally unable to understand what he was talking to me, probably because of constant network drops. It actually helped! My internet connection was working great again, I had the same download speed as my Windows laptop. The first attempt to fix it was to change hardware encryption to software one with:Įcho 'options ath9k nohwcrypt=1' > /etc/modprobe.d/nf So basically from the very beggining of my Linux adventure it was very slow, the internet download speed was around 2 mb/s whilst on my second Windows laptop it was around 50 mb/s. I have installed Pop!_OS recently on my laptop, Dell Inspi(config: i5 8th gen, radeon, 16gb ram) and I've been having a lot of issues with my network card, Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377.
