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? Some details about my wireless nic: 03:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 32) Subsystem: Bigfoot Networks, Inc.
