Okay folks, I now have access to a WiFi 6E router (mesh, actually, adding even more points to fail and track down for repro). Early testing, zero issues thus far. Some interesting findings here, though.
My eero pro 6E has a feature called steering. Great for coverage, but not always the best for speed.
-
On a lark, I disabled steering. My speed climbed an additional 45 Mbps just with this change.
-
It bounced it self to the 5ghz range., gained another 35 Mbps. This testing against multiple speed test service, numbers averaged. Clearly deciding to switch things up.
-
Tested against a running a 4k video in 2160p the entire time to watch for drops.
-
Kernel and distro : 6.8.0-31 generic Ubuntu 24.04.
-
MediaTek MT7922 WIFI card, Framework Laptop 13 AMD Ryzen 7040 Series.
-
WPA3 Set on router.
-
Any and all QoS or steering is OFF.
Going to sit on this config while working tomorrow, see if this sticks or if I was just luckily.
I have AX210s on track for testing this week as well, to compare my findings, Ubuntu 24.04, same kernel as described above.
So what I need now is this:
- Easy to duplicate workflows I can bang against. I need to be able to repro this, but I have limited cycles available. So quick do this paste and run situations are ideal, otherwise if it’s something with very specific steps you provide, I can set aside some time to repro. But I need hyper specifics: actions, packages, ideally sticking within the Fedora/Ubuntu space please, kernels used.
