Weak wifi signal #1

Open dhrunia opened 7 years ago

dhrunia commented 7 years ago

Hi,

I have bought a new TP-Link WN823N V2 usb wireless adapter and installed this driver to get it to work on ubuntu 16.04. However, the wifi signal is very weak and the network speed is too low. I googled it and found some pages saying I may need to disable power management but not for this card. If you can suggest some workaround to fix this it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

In the main kernel code there is a config setting to enable powersave as default (it defaults to be on) called CONFIG_CFG80211_DEFAULT_PS, just turn it off it should make it work, I am not having any problem and I am like 7/8 meters from the main router with a couple of brick walls in the middle (and I use it to stream from my NAS)

Thank you for the help but I could not find that config setting in this repository. Am I missing something? wifi_usb_driver

It's in the main kernel not in the driver, you need to recompile it

Hi I'm having the same problem on kernel version 4.13, can tell me how to recompile the kernel with the above changes ?
