Hi, i am having a problem with my internet speeds. I should be getting 100mbps, but am only getting 50ish. I have a dual boot machine, Windows 10 on my ssd and MX Linux on my m.2

In Windows 10, my internet speed is a lot faster, but going to Linux, it just drops off. I use the same device, TP-Link Archer T3U Plus. Can anyone help me?

    Is it possible your router has 2.4g and 5g? You could try connecting to whichever one you’re not currently on. That is my only guess but there is not a lot to go on in the post. Also I highly doubt the dual boot is relevant here if you were considering that. I’m not that familiar with MX, but you could try booting to a Debian live image to see if it works better there.

    i had something similar on my kubuntu/win7 dual-boot.

    iirc i fixed it by disabling the powersave of my wifi-adapter.

    don’t remember the exact command at the moment though. 🤔

      sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off

      Replace “wlan0” with the name of your Wi-Fi interface if it’s different.

      Is this the one?
