Very slow download speeds?

[hbargerson]

Hey all,

So I've been searching around the internet and have had almost no luck figuring out why my download speeds are so slow on the Pinebook Pro.

I haven't tried a whole bunch of distros or anything, just the Manjaro ARM that it came with, and Fedora 32 (GNOME).
In both Manjaro and Fedora, my download speeds are really slow.

In Manjaro, I get 2.5Mbps download, and 16Mbps upload speeds (I'm standing right next to my router too).
In Fedora, I ran the Ethtool command and put the wireless NIC in full duplex. My download speed went from 2.5Mbps to 5Mbps. My upload speed has stayed at a steady 26Mbps.

Has anyone else had this issue or know what it might be? I'm positive that it's not my internet connection. On my Lenovo Yoga and my custom build, I get at least 30Mbps download in my basement (a floor below my router).

I've run updates and everything. Before I updated Manjaro/Fedora after installation, my download speeds were in the Kbps, so obviously updating did help to some extent.

Are the wireless NICs in the Pinebook just that slow? I figure I wouldn't be getting a much higher upload speed if this was actually the case.
I couldn't seem to find any threads, any Youtube videos, or really anything regarding anyone else having this issue.

Any advice what so ever would be greatly appreciated.

If there's any information I missed that I should have provided, please let me know and I will do my best to provide it ASAP.
