Hi, so I’ve managed to put it on 5ghz wifi connection. Link speed on my wifi options: 434 Mb/s (5.2 GHz)
Getting strange test-results with speedtests… The peaks are a lot higher then on the 2.4ghz, which is normal, but not a steady connection.
When on Chrome, trying speedtest Ookla:
Download: start with 1MB - 0MB - 30MB - 0MB - 20MB
Upload: start with 250MB - 0MB - 175MB - 0 MB - 130MB
More or less the same result on another speed-test.
When on Firefox, trying speedtest Ookla:
Download: start with 27MB - 14MB - 10MB - 16MB
Upload: start with 217MB - 116MB - 91MB - 66MB
So, the connection gets lost a lot of the time… Also had some moment the whole pc was stuck. (couldn’t even move my mouse)
I’ll place the diagnostic in here.
Hope for a fixed solution of help in the right direction.
Thanks
Can you please verify with a Ubuntu Live CD if the problem is there too. From what i see in the logs, there are many entries which leads me to different hardware issues:
May 12 16:50:15 endless kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sda3, logical block 17492996

As it may be a very interesting coincidence for two hardware faults to occur at the same time, eventually you have some defective memory chip in your device which leads to those problems.
Instructions
Download the Ubuntu 21.04 Image
“Burn” it to a empty USB stick with the Fedora Image Writer
Boot the Stick and run a Live Session, connect to your Wifi and try different speed tests
On the Stick, there is also the option to boot to a memory test tool. Do this too.
Yes, boot the stick through the BIOS (Override boot or something like that). Often there is also a Key display which allows you to select the Boot device.
The Memory Test Tool can be selected after the Bootloader from the USB Stick is displayed.
Ok, so it just booted with Ubuntu
Then I could choose between test Ubuntu or full version?
I choose the test version…
Ubuntu started (looks nice btw ), started Firefox, but airplane mode was on.
Disabled airplane mode and looked for wi-fi connection, but couldn’t find it…
Did search for wi-fi and the following screenshot is what I got ?? Saying no wi-fi adaptor was found?
Now, I just tried speed test again. On Endless.
On Chrome and Firefox… Guess what. A pretty steady connection download between 260MB and 285MB, upload 266MB …
Is this a coincidence, just an ok moment? Even without stuttering… Just a steady connection like it should be?
Hi egrath, sorry for my late reply. It was a bit busy the last few days.
I understand what you’re saying, but I would prefer to wait for a moment.
At this moment things are working great
The internet connection and speed is good and I don’t get those annoying pop-ups from the Bluetooth anymore.
I must admit that I have no clue how this could happen… But I’m glad it’s working normal now.
So, even though maybe it’s not fixed yet? I am very happy and thankful for your help! Really!
Thanks very much!
As we haven’t fixed any relevant things, this is getting interesting. Nevetheless, i’m glad that it works now.
Wild guess: Your provider has updated your Fibre Router during a regular maintainence cycle with a new Firmware which has some quirks fixed which originally caused the issue.
Well, I have no idea. It was just after the reboot with Ubuntu… Coincidence that my provider updated the fibre at that exact time?
I don’t know what, but the reboot with Ubuntu did the job magicle wise
I will keep an eye on the connection and keep you updated if anything changes or if it remains the same.
