Hi
I’m running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on a Framework 13 AMD.
I’m experiencing lot’s of issues with wifi, both regarding roaming and speed.
Currently only getting around 20Mb/s while next to the router. 2 other devices are getting over 300Mb/s.
Is this a known issue?
As a debugging step, I’d recommend disabling power saving for your wifi card. For example, I’m on the AX210 and I’ve been having issues with video conferences for work where everyone’s video was stuttering. Turning off the power saving for the wifi card fixed the issue. I’m not familiar with ubuntu but assuming ubuntu 22.04 has the iw utility then you can check if power saving is enabled with:
iw wlan0 get power_save
and you can temporarily turn off power saving (it’ll go back to the default after a reboot) with:
iw wlan0 set power_save off
I just replaced WiFi module to Intel 210 No vPro and that fixed Linux related issues (Ubuntu) for my FW13 AMD (with MediaTek WiFi module by default).
I saw some other posts regarding the default module with linux. Why is Framework still shipping this module when they know there are issues with it on linux?
It helped a bit. But the laptop is still not roaming well.
May be there some agreement with AMD to not use Intel? I don’t know.
As it just $18 and very simple to change, I’m OK with it 
Than they should inform customers when ordering the laptop. They clain that ubuntu and fedora are officially supported, so they shouldn’t ship their devices with a WiFi module they know has issues on linux.
Anyway, thanks for the tip, I’m ordering the 210 module.
I think this is a requirement from AMD or something like that. Just to get the “AMD Advanced” or whatever the “certificate” is
I’m using the Mediatek Wifi on Linux (Fedora 40) on my FL16 without an ounce of trouble.
Could be different in Fedora, but Ubuntu is not working fine for me.
Wifi nic just stops working sometimes or device is not roaming AP’s when moving to another location.
