FML13V03 wifi kinda sucks?

Framework Laptop 13

Got my FML13V03 last week, assembled on Monday (thanks FW for making that a breeze!).

What’s the promised speed for the Wi-Fi module?

Here’s what I get with FML13V03

And here’s by comparison, an AMD-something miniPC on same network and upstream:

What wifi module is this thing running? While the fw 13 chasis has a sub-obtimal antenna setup this speed drip may still be the module or hell even the not that fast cpu bottlenecking.

`0001:01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6E(802.11ax) AX210/AX1675* 2x2 [Typhoon Peak] (rev 1a)` came with the framework chassis

I also have a “Cyclone peak” that came with the new mobo, no idea if either is better or why.

P.S. Intel AX210 6 GHz support w/Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS and later - #3 by psychotux - Support and Help - Ubuntu Community Hub points at possibly subpar support for this wifi card in Ubuntu specifically.

The AX210 is the better WiFi module for all of the mainboards in my experience (I’ve tried 11th-gen, 12th-gen, AMD 7840U, and R9 HX 370). What mainboard are you using?
