Hi,
I have the Realtek RTL8723BE wireless network adapter on my laptop:
$ lspci | grep -i wireless
08:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8723BE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter
running kernel version "5.9.10-arch1-1".
I am seeing some strange behavior on it for some time now. When I power
on my router and connect to it, I get the full download speed for about
an hour or so. After that the speed throttles to around 60-70 KB/s.
Other devices connected to the router continue work at full speed.
If I power cycle the router, it again works at full speed for about an
hour or two and then throttles back to around 60-70 KB/s.
Has anybody ever seen any problem like this? Any fixes for this? Or at
least any pointers to where I can start looking in the driver source?
Any help would be appreciated because this is quite annoying having to
restart the router every hour or so.
What router and software version?
Does unloading/reloading rtl8723be fix the problem without resetting the router?
I tried the rtl8723be connecting to a Netgear WNDR4500. The starting
speedtest.net speeds of 45 Mbps down and 12 Mbps up were maintained for 10
hours. The up speed is the maximum for my broadband connection. The interface
had 2 disconnects for reason 3, but it reconnected automatically.
