1 laptop slow speed on MT6000 Flint2

Technical Support for Routers

Interesting issue.
I updated my Flint2 to the 4.7 Beta firmware a couple of weeks ago. All running well on majority of devices.

However, 1 x HP Elitebook does not play nice with this router following the upgrade.
All other devices getting around 460Mbps on speedtest.net with a ping of 12ms.
This HP laptop (Qualcomm wifi 6 card) get 54Mbps with high latency of 102ms.

Connecting the laptop to the old Asus router, I had no speed issues.
So I set up the old router as an Access Point. When I connect to it, the HP Elitebook gets the same speed as the other clients on the GL.Inet router.

Is there a known issue on 5GHz with Qualcomm cards (Linux Mint 22, 6.8 kernel)? Asking here since the wifi works fine with other routers / access points.

  1. Firmware version.
  2. PM me the issue syslog please.
  3. SSH to the router:
    ifconfig
    iwinfo
    ubus call network.wireless status
    cat /etc/config/wirelss
  4. did you try to upgrade the Qualcomm WiFi adapter driver?

Thanks for the response. I wanted to follow up as I think I just solved this today.
Seems it is a problem with the Qualcomm ath11k driver or network manager in Linux Mint.

I found some instructions at ThinkPad T14 AMD - Fix WiFi on Ubuntu - Qualcomm QCNFA765 which talked about changing the powersave mode of the wireless card. I performed that action, and speeds are now back to normal.

I can also confirm that when running Win 11, speeds were as expected connecting to the Flint2. I guess we can consider this solved.

Thanks for your willingness to look into it!
