Well, not quite - speedtest.net (whatever it does) seems to report good results, browsing however is generally slow, but I can't really set precise expectations for let's say "opening youtube.com". It's just slow compared to other machines on the same network. The most concrete thing I could think of was to download the base set which was surprisingly slow during the first upgrade after installation. That's why I started to investigate; this I can measure and report. So generally speaking, everything is slow on iwm0 *except* what speedtest.net seems to report. > The speed test being successful would imply that the wifi > layer is working just fine.

No issue, perfect 100Mbit. > Or with iwm(4) via a different AP? > Or with iwm(4) via a different ISP? Thanks for the tips! I went ahead and tried my cell phone's mobile hotspot. Even though speedtest.net only reported 30/15Mbit down/up, the general browsing experience was much better and managed to squeeze out 2-3MByte/sec while downloading the base set from various mirrors. Switching back to my home AP seems to be the issue. It's a Zyxel NBG6615 (end of service by now, no newer firmware). Is there any debug sysctl's I can set on the laptop that could prove useful in troubleshooting this? Maybe different settings for iwm(4) or the AP? Daniel
