--- Comment #6 from John <ilikef...@waterisgone.com> --- OK, seeing that the connection speed seems to match the "Bit Rate", I tried to find out if I can change either the bit rate or the transmission power manually to see if the bit rate in Network Manager changes. The defaults for the active connection can be seen with this command: sudo iwconfig wlan0 Which in my case gives: Bit Rate=6 Mbit/s Tx-Power=30 dBm It seems that changing the bit rate is impossible no matter why I try and this answer here seems to confirm that changing the bit rate on a Qualcomm atheros chipset, like I have, even though it's not exactly the same mode, it's impossible: https://superuser.com/a/1271812 But doing the following commands: sudo ifconfig wlan0 down sudo iwconfig wlan0 txpower 20 sudo ifconfig wlan0 up Then checking the that transmission power changed sudo iwconfig wlan0 And repeat them, setting at each repeat the tx power to 15, 10, 5 and finally to 1 worked! While the receive rate in WaveMon shows even 433.3 Mb/s (the maximum for my access point) and less, the transmission rate doesn't budge from the 6 Mbit/s even though the different power levels were used and confirmed by both iwconfig and wavemon commands. The guy in the link above fixed it by upgrading the access point's firmware to the latest version, but mine it's already at the latest version and sow it's the firmware for my wireless adapter in my laptop that Debian uses. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
