Extremely slow WiFi

Has no impact on modern iwlwifi module.

This is disabled by default. And power management is handled by a different module - iwlmvm.

This is pretty extreme. If one of these options is desirable it is usually 11n_disable=8, which in fact does not disable N but rather enables antenna aggregation.


So really, especially to begin, I would suggest instead:

/etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf

options iwlwifi 11n_disable=8 # enable antenna aggregation

If there are still issues … then it may be worth setting one of the options in iwlmvm:

power_scheme:power management scheme: 1-active, 2-balanced, 3-low power, default: 2 (int)

And if there are still issues … then maybe we can test disabling one or more of the modern standards.
