+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #708747 +++ Description of problem: Bit rate drops to an unusable rate when connected when connected via 802.11n to a Linksys e3000 router running dd-wrt. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-3.2.9-2.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect to wireless network (Linksys e3000 with dd-wrt firmware in this case) 2. Notice a relatively quick slowdown in bit rate Actual results: Extremely low bit rate Expected results: A higher bit rate Additional info: Seems to work fine if router is set to provide B/G only.

Yet another 11n problem. You can disable that on iwlwifi driver using 11n_disable module parameter.

[mass update] kernel-3.3.0-4.fc16 has been pushed to the Fedora 16 stable repository. Please retest with this update.
Will test with new kernel shortly, thanks

I am having the same problem as well. FC16, Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300, HP MSM422 wireless AP. 11N connections will work for a short period of time at a good speed and then completely drop off and will pass no traffic. Pinging the wifi AP isn't even possible.
Dear Michael and Chris: I may have good news. At least something worth testing. I have RedHat and Debian systems, lately I've been wrestling with Debian. With kernel 3.2, I've had success this week with iwlwifi on Dell Precision M4600 systems. I have Intel Centrino Ultimate N-6300. I see the same problems described in this thread, and i've found about 50 different websites where people claim the problem is solved if we install a "new" firmware (that is not yet released by Intel) or if we fiddle the module settings somehow. I've tried all of these, and I'm having some success for the past 2 days with this particular combination: $ cat /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf options iwlwifi power_save=0 swcrypto=1 bt_coex_active=0 The system does not always associate right away, but if I remove the iwlwifi module and reinstall it, then it generally does. Know what I mean? $ sudo /sbin/modprobe -r iwlwifi $ sudo /sbin/modprobe iwlwifi I have NO SUCCESS with kernels in the 3.1.x series, but with releases of 3.2, I have pretty good results. I have no idea if the following is informative to you, it does reveal the firmware edition. This is for a session when the device failed to join the wireless router, and then it did join after modprobe re-loaded the module.

I was having problems shown in this thread with F17 3.4.3 kernel. I tried kernel 3.4.4-1 from koji, and it seems to repair the wireless problems in 3.4.3-1 shipped with F17.
Experiencing the same very slow wifi issue with kernel 3.4.6-1.fc16.i686 on a 802.11g (French Freebox 5C) with the same wireless card (from a Dell Latitude E6410). For one or two seconds the connection seems fine, then the download rate goes from ~1 MB/s down to a few B/s (no, I didn't forget a K…), then sometimes even below 1 B/s. Really a pain as you can imagine… Paul's suggestion of disabling options did the trick.
# Mass update to all open bugs. Kernel 3.6.2-1.fc16 has just been pushed to updates. This update is a significant rebase from the previous version. Please retest with this kernel, and let us know if your problem has been fixed. In the event that you have upgraded to a newer release and the bug you reported is still present, please change the version field to the newest release you have encountered the issue with. Before doing so, please ensure you are testing the latest kernel update in that release and attach any new and relevant information you may have gathered. If you are not the original bug reporter and you still experience this bug, please file a new report, as it is possible that you may be seeing a different problem. (Please don't clone this bug, a fresh bug referencing this bug in the comment is sufficient).
With no response, we are closing this bug under the assumption that it is no longer an issue. If you still experience this bug, please feel free to reopen the bug report.
I am experiencing this issue after a recent package update on FC18. The speedtest is "ragged" and does not go faster than 12Mbps. It used to work fine just a week ago. It does not seem to be a kernel issue as I tried to load 3.8.3 (3.8.5 is current). b/g is working fine.
After several tests I came up to the following conclusion: Kernel 3.8.5-201: Works fine right a reboot, shows up to 100Mbps (broadband limit is 140Mbps). After approx. 10 minutes the maximum I could get varies from 1 to 8Mbps. Kernel 3.6.11-7 No problems with N noticed. Ultimate-N 6300 AGN, REV=0x74 ASUS RT-N66U
Please reopen the bug.
