View Full Version : [SOLVED] Slow wifi speed with Atheros (Killer 1535) card on ubuntu 18.04

November 22nd, 2018, 05:17 PM
On my 5-year old macbook, and under windows on the same laptop (Dell XPS 15 9570), I can get 80 mbp/s via speedtest.net. But under ubuntu 18.04 with latest 4.18 (also used 4.15, 4.16, 4.17) kernels, I can only get 25 mbp/s max. I've tried several things under different combinations of kernels, kubuntu/manjaro, but no luck. Any help? I've also tried using intel 9260, intel 8265. All same 25 mbp/s max speed. Currently I'm back using the Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac. Any ideas what's wrong? Here's the info...

ath10k_pci 0000:3b:00.0 wlp59s0: disabling HT as WMM/QoS is not supported by the APIn this context, HT refers to high throughput; that is, fast speeds.

Is WMM enabled or disabled in your router? Are the results the same either way?

After each change, please power cycle the router.

By the way, given a choice, I'd prefer the Intel.

Oh my god! You fixed the problem, I'm now getting 85 mbp/s instead of 25 mbp/s. Thanks!! :P
Don't know why the killer 1535 requires that setting on the router to go fast.

Don't know why the killer 1535 requires that setting on the router to go fast.Evidently, it is Linux generally that requires it:

I've also tried using intel 9260, intel 8265. All same 25 mbp/s max speed. Currently I'm back using the Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac. Any ideas what's wrong?
