Dual Band ac 7260 - slow speed and no 5Ghz in linux kernel 5.3

Hi,

 

I have noticed that my network speed over wifi is only around 100mbps and that I can not detect a 5Ghz wifi.

 

In my /lib/firmware directory I have firmware file 7,8,9,10,12,13,14,16 and 17. If I remove 17 wifi does not work at all after reboot. If I remove any other version there is no difference.

 

I am runing pop_os which is ubuntu based on kernel 5.3.

Hello User15860044956055270425, 

 

Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities.   

 

Based on the behavior that you are having, please check the following recommendations: 

 

  • If you want to discard that the behavior is not related to the hardware, you can try testing the Wireless card with Windows with the respective drivers from your system manufacturer. 
  • Otherwise, if you would like to receive further support based on Linux, I will highly recommend you to follow the guidance on the bugs and support page
  • You can check more information about Linux* Support for Intel® Wireless Adapters here and, in the Intel Open Source.org

 

Please let us know if you have any questions.
