Wired connection is very slow

I recently installed Manjaro gnome on my thinkpad, however I am facing a problem regarding the internet, i’m using a wired connection and the pages take a long time to load. I already tried with Windows 11 and I don’t have that problem, what could be happening?

this is the inxi -Fazy output:

This could be indicative of many things.
Is there a reason we think this is the fault of the ethernet?
Pages load quickly when using the wireless?
Maybe using some sort of measurement would be even better.

If you use power-profiles-daemon … have you set it to some low-power state?

Thanks for your quick reply.

Web pages load much faster with WiFi than with LAN cable.

I’m using ‘Performance’ power plan.

Hello and welcome to the Manjaro Community!

Great that you provided good system information. :wink:

It’s worth checking the results of speedtest:

sudo pacman -Syu speedtest-cli

… to compare the ethernet and wireless.

Ok, moving on to some actionable approaches…

You might try setting the speed of the ethernet device. With something like this command;

ethtool -s enp0s31f6 autoneg on speed 1000 duplex full

Another approach would be to disable ‘active state power management’ for PCIe. This can be done by adding the following to boot options;

pcie_aspm=off

If you do not know how to do that … it means adding the option, between the quotes, on one of the CMDLINE_LINUX line of the file /etc/default/grub, illustrated with the following and assuming no other options;

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="pcie_aspm=off"

Afterwards the following must be run to apply it;

sudo update-grub

Then reboot.

Thanks for your help, just as a precaution I bought a new cat6 cable and the problem was solved.

:rofl:
Not funny… takes me back six months when I did exactly the same thing - after a day puzzling it out, a $2 10 metre cable fixed it… I imagine the old one may have been pinched and damaged at some time…
