This message is in regard to a bug I have open on bugs.launchpad.net, 1813372, linked below. This issue, originally identified in an Ubuntu kernel, has been duplicated in the most current mainline kernel, 5.0-rc8, and is in regard to problems attaining a wireless connection at 802.11ac speeds. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1813372 At your earliest convenience, please see the bug report above, and advise if a fix will be available for the r8822be kernel module. Sincerely, David R. Bergstein
Hi, If it's possible I will suggest that you can use the new driver "rtw88" being reviewed now. rtw88 is better supported by Realtek and has significant improvement in contrast to r8822be. And also it is aim to better support 802.11ac series ICs, so it may help resolve your problem about 802.11ac connection speeds. Thanks! Yan-Hsuan
