iwlwifi intel 6300 slow

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I had a Lenovo W700 laptop with Intel 5300 wireless card, running Debian
Testing. Speed to and from my NAS via a Western Digital N900 router was
about 16 megabyte/s - limited by the NAS.

After updating to a W701 with an Intel 6300 wireless card, speed is down
to 1-2 megabyte/s. Replacing the card is not really an option, Lenovo
has blessed this model with a whitelist in the BIOS.

I tried booting 3.18-rc6, but that made no difference against 3.16.

There's a lot of complaints about this card on the net, but it seems
most are about poor performance when roaming or with a weak signal. 
I've tries the various 11n_disable=x swcrypto=x options, I've tried
fiddling with the router (20/40 MHz, N only or mixed etc) but so far,
the speed remains abysmal.

1)
Can anybody tell me what logs/debugging I can post to help clear up this
issue?

2)
If anybody has this card running great with another router, I'd be very
interested to learn which one!

Thanks,
Jurriaan
