![]() But what I don't understand, and would love it if someone could explain it to me, is how I can have 3 different distributions, running on the same computer, using the same Linux kernel (5.0.8), on MX, Zorin, and Ubuntu 18.04.3, and MX and Ubuntu are based on Debian, and Zorin is based on Ubuntu, yet the wireless quality varies so greatly? MX Linux and Zorin seem to be pretty consistent, so I haven't had to bother trying to change it since they get between 9.5 and 10Mb without it. And sure enough, my 10Mb broadband connection stays at 10mbps on every speed test there is when I'm on Manjaro, and I consistently download at 1-1.3 Mbps, whereas it'll wildly fluctuate with most of the other distros. I've had to stay at 4.19.14 to keep it at 30. ![]() Like I said, I know it's got nothing to do with the card, because it works on Manjaro, but even then after I updated to the newest Linux kernel on Manjaro it refuses to change, just like all the rest. I have tried it with automated scripts, I've tried doing it manually. Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:2 Missed beacon:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Retry short limit:7 RTS thr=2347 B Fragment thr:off Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: 28:80:88:C4:BF:DB It still shows ~]$ sudo iwconfig wlp2s0 txpower ~]$ sudo ifconfig wlp2s0 ~]$ iwconfig It gives me no errors, it'll reg set to BO, but when I give the commands: ifconfig wlp2s0 down With Ubuntu, I tried the Ubuntu-specific txpower-unlocker git script. But the same (or equivalent) steps given for the other distros I have do not work at all. I somehow not only got it to work, but actually have it permanently set to 30 dBm, every boot. I've hit a ridiculous number of walls with all the attempts, except for with Manjaro. I've tried txpower-unlocker, I've tried wireless-regdb-pentest, I've tried everything. So, when I began trying to increase my txpower, I tried all the solutions listed on here, itsFOSS, the Arch/Manjaro forums, and anywhere else I could find. I have Manjaro Deepin, Solus Budgie, Ubuntu 18.04, Fedora 30, Zorin 15, and MX Linux, along with KDE Neon on another External HDD. I'm somewhat new to Linux, I first installed Ubuntu (I think 16.04?) alongside Windows back in like 2016 but didn't get real into it until the past year or so, and I've been distro hopping to find the best one for me, so right now I have an internal 256GB Crucial SSD with 6 different root partitions, each one having a corresponding 100GB home partition on my external Hard Drive. ![]() Anyway, I don't think the TP adapter can increase txpower at all, but I know for a fact the internal adapter can. ![]() I bought the TP-Link after reading how well it worked with linux, and turns out it doesn't run nearly as well as the RTL8188EE I already had. I have an internal RTL8188EE, and a TP-Link USB adapter. Okay, so I've been needing to increase my wireless adapter's txpower. ![]()
