I'm new to Linux Mint, trying do De-Microsoft my life a little.
Really loving this awesome OS, and you guys are great for maintain this forum up and updated
The problem: my wifi download speed is capped to ~37mb (Bit Rate of only 6mb/s). No VPN enable, tested it multiple times on web browser test sites and CLI using speedtest.
I have a isp connection of 240mb for download and 20mb for upload (no problem with upload), i'm able to reach this speed on windows 10 (this same machine, dual boot, secure boot disable, pci power manager turned off), but on LM i can't get this speed connection.
Using it wired have a little better result, of ~56mb, but still far low from the same test using Windows 10 (~242mb).
Upgrading from kernel 5.4 to 5.8 did nothing, the issue persist.
One important thing that i noticed is that, under Network Connections, my Wi-Fi Bands are only A(5GHz) and B/G(2.4GHz), no N/AC available, as you can see in the print bellow, network controller is QCA9377 802.11ac, but looks like this ath10k_pci driver for LM recognize only A and B bands/protocols
