Weird WiFi connection problems that I can't explain in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] joseplinux@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Thank you for the suggestion. I actually figured out a simple solution, I changed my router from router mode to access point mode, and then connected the ethernet cable to lan port instead of the wan port, and that fixed everything.

Tried that, does nothing unfortunately

The problem is not with the Wifi speed per say, its with some website and services, like steam download speeds are as expecting, but browsing Reddit for example, or downloading flatpaks or github is super slow.

Weird WiFi connection problems that I can't explain (lemmy.zip)
 

I've been using Bazzite for a couple of months now. I've been experiencing a few problems when connecting my PC to my Wifi router.

I've been noticing a few websites being extremely slow, such as reddit. I've also noticed that Flatpak downloads are extremely slow, with speeds being in two digits of....kb/s! Now, I can mitigate this issue by doing either two things:

  1. Using a VPN
  2. Connecting my PC to my mobile hotspot, which is connected to my same router.

This is puzzling, because if there's an issue with my ISP, it would show up on my phone as well. If there's an issue with my built in WiFi adapter, then it would show up when connecting to my hotspot.

I have absolutely no idea what's going on, could someone help me? I tried changing DNS servers, reseting the network configs, flushing DNS cache, non of these seem to mitigate the issue.

One thing I've yet to try is connecting via Ethernet, because as of right now I don't have a good Ethernet cable with the right length, and I'm gonna order one day and try it.

If anyone has any other suggestions, I would appreciate it

Nah, I would spare the machine and install Linux on it

Warpping Discord around a VPN in c/linux@lemmy.ml

If all else fails, I'll probably end up doing just that, running discord inside a browser with a VPN extension

Not the Linux version unfortunately

Warpping Discord around a VPN (lemmy.zip)
 

Discord got banned where I live. I'm trying to find a way to route Discord to a specific proxy, or in other words warpring it around a VPN. I do not want to run a VPN system wide as this will significantly decrease internet speed, and also could affect connectivity in many games. Anyone has an effective way to do this? I'm running Bazzite on my system, and I use Vesktop as the Discord client, which is a flatpak. Any help is appreciated
