WiFI performance degraded compared to other distros

Open pastaq opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

WiFi performance has been noted to be particularly slow on some MediaTek and Realtek WiFi modules when compared to the same hardware on other distros (PopOS and HoloISO namely). We need to investigate the cause and attempt to find a solution.

Incomplete list of possibly affected hardware: Latest Asus Zephyrus Laptop Aya Neo handhelds with RZ608/MT7921K OXP Handhelds with RZ608/MT7921K

Could you please test the current unstable image? It contains disabled MAC randomization.
