Slow WiFi speeds in Debian 11, unable to resolve issue

#1 Post by ?Syntax Error »

Speeds are extremely slow. Whether using a web browser and while updating/installing packages. Speeds are sub 56kb/s. I verified the problem isn't with my router, that expected speeds are present on my mobile device (they are.) I added contrib and non-free to my sources.list. Updated the repos, upgraded, then I installed the iwlwifi package and then regenerated initramfs and then ran update-grub. I followed workarounds here viewtopic.php?p=659039 and here https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=239854, a few of these workarounds don't have the packages available in the repos anymore to perform their relative commands. I forgot that I had this same problem last time I tried to use Debian and that's why I didn't. I use Debian whenever I can, but haven't been able to this time.

Any ideas? Something I'm missing? Should I just compile a kernel and use that?

Thank you so much for helping me. This has worked. How did you find that? I do apologize I didn't see that.

I'm always happy to send a small donation for your help. Helping people on forums often seems thankless.
