I have to say I am impressed by your work an what you do to the privacy aware community out there. Therefore I would like to purchase one of your librem13s. However on notebook check I found the result of very slow WiFi performance and I sadly was not able to find any comment on that neither by purism or the community here in the forum.
Is that a known issue and I have to live with it for privacy? Has that been another issue of the DUT in their lab? Has it probably already been resolved with v4?
A small comment would be appreciated.
Keep going with the great work!
in my experience (with a Librem 15 v4) the performance is good at optimal signal levels, but it seems to cope worse with low signal strength than my previous laptop
I recently went through a period of poor performance due to my TV broadcasting its presence on my wi-fi channel. (Printers can do this too.) Really killed performance. But my Librem laptop managed to stream videos and search results better than my other computers, running debian.
And I haven’t heard any complaints in the forum about bad performance due to software.
If you can’t get the range on 5 GHz, you should drop down to 2.4 GHz. If 2.4 is crowded, move to 5 where neighbor interference should be less.
If you don’t have 5 GHz, might be time to upgrade your router.
Librem 13 v 3 owner for a year and a half, not too happy with the WiFi perfomance. Signal strength is really an issue that drove me mad, so I bought a 12$ wifi dongle and it’s now working perfectly. Although, this isn’t something one should have to do for a laptop of this price. I hope purism figures it out with the next version.
