Testing Wi-Fi performance on a Librem 5 Birch, using the speedtest command from the speedtest-cli package, I get roughly the following: Download: 32 Mbit/s Upload: 3.6 Mbit/s That’s the best I get, having the phone is placed really close to the Wi-Fi router. For comparison, on my laptop I get o…

[image] dos: dpkg -l linux-image-librem5 will show you the installed package version Thanks! But then I think there is a potential for confusion because that command, although it shows the installed package version as you say, does not show which kernel is currently running? I mean, in the …

Then you can always report the whole output of uname -a, like: Linux librem5 5.11.0-1-librem5 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Mar 22 14:21:27 PDT 2021 aarch64 GNU/Linux This includes the build date, which can be mapped back to the package version.

Great, looking at the build date solves the problem for me. I had actually run uname -a before and after reboot but it didn’t occur to me to look at the date. Now I see the difference there. Before reboot: purism@pureos:~$ uname -a Linux pureos 5.11.0-1-librem5 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Mar 17 02:15:51 P…

I have no performance data to share but one thing I have noted is the following. There is a place in the house where the charger is. When I first received the Librem 5 it was possible to put the phone on charge but still work away remotely on it (sshed in). In the last few weeks that is no longer…

How to turn off all power-saving features to be sure everything runs at full speed? reducing the power consumption I don’t think that it is (directly) related to power saving mode. I can walk to the charging station, pinging continuously, and watch the RSSI icon at the top of the screen redu…

[image] irvinewade: I can accept that perhaps the signal at the charging station was always marginal but it does seem as if it has become weaker. A theory about this: it could be that the signal in that place is weak for certain frequency band(s) but not for others. Then, it could be that the…

The WAP is configured to use a specific channel. It is not set to “Auto” for the channel. The channel has not changed. Still investigating … The only diagnostic that I have at the moment is iw wlan0 scan which shows a mass of information, including the signal strength.

How to turn off all power-saving features to be sure everything runs at full speed? Librem 5

Continuing the discussion from Librem 5 Wi-Fi performance: While I understand that some effort has gone into reducing the power consumption to increase battery life and avoid overheating, for testing purposes it would be good to be able to turn all that off. Suppose my battery is fully charged, the charging cable is plugged in, and I am not worried about overheating, at my own risk. Is there a way to tell the Librem 5 to skip any attempts at power saving and just let everything run at full spe…
