AMD Fedora 39 - Unable to connect to 5G WiFi

Framework Laptop 13 Linux
1

5G networks get detected, but most of the time throughout the day, my FW13 AMD will not connect to 5G networks, only 2G networks could be successfully connected to. Trying to connect anyway shows a greyed-out signal with a question mark, and I eventually receive a Network connection failed toast notification, googling which provides nothing meaningful to me.

  • Fedora 39 on GNOME desktop
  • Kernel 6.5.12-300.fc39.x86_64
  • WiFi card MEDIATEK MT7922
  • Never changed any firewalls, not using a VPN.
  • Tried 4 different networks at varying distances (2 campus WiFis, 1 home, 1 mobile hotspot).
  • No other obvious high-energy devices nor obstructions between laptop and router/modem.
  • First step in the Fedora WiFi troubleshooting guide to create the config file did not work, removing the WiFi applet instead.
  • rfkill indicates neither Bluetooth nor wlan are blocked, both with and without the config file.
  • iwlwifi commands dont print anything. Those commands are for use with Intel cards, not Mediatek, right?
  • nmcli radio shows that everything is enabled, except for a missing wwan-hw. TLP is not installed, as per the AMD section on Optimizing Fedora Battery Life.
  • Tried reseating the black and white cables, as well as the card. Black cable was a little off, so I reconnected it. 5G connection was restored upon reboot, but later stopped working again. Subsequent attempts fail.
  • Reinstalling Fedora 39 from USB still did not allow me to connect to 5G network.

I first put together the FW13 yesterday, and the 5G connected just fine. I then shut the lid for a while, open it back up, and WiFi was disconnected and wouldn’t reconnect until much later. Ever since, the laptop’s been tempermentally deciding to let me use 5G every once in a long while.
As of writing, it’s being nice and letting me use 5G, but once the disconnecting occurs again, I can get some relevant logs from dmesg or journalctl.

Perhaps it could be helpful to you.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll look into if this is legal to do where I live first before I try misconfiguring regdomain, though.

This is probably something between the wifi driver (in the linux kernel) and the specific wireless router you are trying to connect to.

If 2.4G works, then the digital connections inside the laptop are most likely fine. Possibly a wonky antenna connection could be a factor, that was a good thing to check. 5GHz band doesn’t go through walls as easily as 2.4 GHz, this could significantly affect signal strength.

Wifi chips and drivers have a surprising amount of complexity and bugs. To a large extent they work in practice due to retries (e.g. automatically retry a packet at a different rate/mode within a millisecond) and automatic resets/reboots of the wifi chip after an error counter hits a threshold. As far as I know, pretty much all wifi chips/firmware have some bugs, and workarounds for the most common bugs in other wifi chips/drivers. So the behavior you see can be just a lucky or unlucky interaction of bugs/workarounds between the two devices connecting.

All that to say: it might be fixed by kernel updates, firmware updates (linux-firmware package), or firmware updates on your wifi router. Try different wifi routers (though some will use the same chip/driver aka realtek or broadcom etc). Finally, you can try swapping the wifi card in your framework laptop, to an intel ax200 or ax210 (but not ax201 or ax211, those require Intel CPUs).

EDIT: forgot to mention, I have the FW13 AMD with the MT7922 running Arch Linux, works on 5GHz band with my Asus RT-AX88U, but I use separate network names for 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands so it’s easier to force, and sometimes it takes like 30 seconds to connect, definitely longer than it should. But sometimes it connects right away :person_shrugging:

Thanks, that’s quite a lucid explanation about how little control I have over it :upside_down_face: And thanks for the wifi card recommendations, I’ll take a look at them.
As for the walls part, I’m more convinced that it doesn’t seem to be the issue in my case; I could be out in open space or even right next to the router, and FW13 wifi would still not connect.

For what it is worth I have the mt7922 in several different devices and APs and it supports a much wider range of channel combinations/width and modes than the Intel does.

Based on the behaviour you are reporting my inclination is that it’s to do with badly configured security key exchange on the AP. I have seen several broken implementations in consumer gear.

If you have control of the AP in question. I would disable any security and test connection with an open network.

WPA3 and WPA1 can be problematic ; so if you are able change the auth mode to WPA2 + CCMP(AES) if that is an option (depends on the router manufacturer as to how this is exposed). Also be sure to disable WPS as it is a known exploitable over the air.

Ahh - reading through your thread; I see you’re using Asus and likely have the ‘smart connect’ feature turned on. This is proprietary and buggy; turn it off and use seperate channels for each radio - if you want the same SSID just name them the same after proving.

I’ll try that on my home’s wifi when I get home. I’d also like to try this on my Android phone, too, if possible. Although, I honestly havent checked what kind of router I have at home.

There were some bugs in wpa_supplicant/nmcli relating wpa3 and rekeying, but those went away in fc38.

You mention FC39 in the title and i’ve tested fc39 relatively extensively both gnome and kde spins. Without issue against several ap’s in different configs wpa2 and wpa3 ; If you can go and edit the connection and force the authentication method to the one you know is set in the ap. This might help.

Update: have not received 5G connection errors as of late, it hasn’t been disfunctional these past two days.

  • As a result, I haven’t bothered to disable security nor force any authentication methods while the FW13 is connecting fine.
  • Haven’t changed anything about my router, which is Spectrum, not ASUS. I do not have access to any secure connect feature.
  • Received a surprise early Christmas present, the Intel AX210; it works beautifully, haven’t had 5G connection issues.
  • Will still keep the Mediatek around, just in case if I can reproduce this issue on that card specifically.

All of the Intel cards lack AP mode features ; which will be fine for most users - but if you want to i.e create good hotspots then it can be a problem (there is a workaround to create a fake AP setup on the Intel cards; but it’s sloooow and limited).

Well, I did a hotspot test yesterday when I got the new Intel card, along with a friend who also was gifted the same card. The speed was pretty good when I checked the connection between our laptops with iperf3.
Also, may you suggest some reading material for why Intel cards don’t make for good hotspots?
