Very slow WiFi on a new Framework with Linux Mint

One thing we can test with and can easily be reverted if it doesn’t help is changing the power save feature for your wireless.

Please open a terminal and run this command:

sudo sed -i 's/wifi.powersave = 3/wifi.powersave = 2/' /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf

This will change the power save setting from 3 to 2. Then reboot your Framework, run iwconfig again and it should display Power Management:off

This may help, it may not help at all. But I’ve seen examples where it has and does provide a bit truer performance.

If it does nothing, we can always change it back with:

sudo sed -i 's/wifi.powersave = 2/wifi.powersave = 3/' /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf
