Wireless signal may be 90% on windows and 30% on Linux using the same machine and location.
This happens on different distributions such as Ubuntu and Fedora
It is unusable because of the disconnections and the speed.

Some information:

driver=iwlwifi driverversion=5.8.0-29-generic firmware=46.8902351f.0

Just dropping here to upvote this as this is still relevant on 2022. Windows/Mac work perfect on 2nd floor while Linux drops to 0mbps...

 

I've tried everything disabled 5ghz on router level. Also disabling 11ac improved speeds a little.

options iwlwifi disable_11ac=Y

 I've tried everything for these unhandled alg logs...

 AX203 card just seems to have a poor support.

HOW TO REPLICATE THIS

- Buy Dell XPS 15 9510

- Install Ubuntu/Fedora on it

- Enjoy 10mbs speeds on a different room
