Network details on the 5 GHz band, with WPA2-PSK authentication type
SUMMARY
Some of the Wireless network details are wrong.
To be more exact these are:
- Security type
Connection speed
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Switch from WPA Supplicant to IWD, if on Debian, following Debian's
tutorial here: https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkManager/iwd
2. Reboot to make sure everything has been restarted properly
3. Connect to your wireless network, from iwctl, like in the tutorial at step 1
4. Open the networks widget from the System tray
5. Click on the connected network
6. Click on the Details tab
OBSERVED RESULT
Security type shows as: Unknown security type compared to WPA2-PSK (on default
WPA Supplicant)
Connection speed shows as: 1 MBit/s fo a 2.4 GHz network and 6 MBit/s for a 5
GHz network (both same as on default WPA Supplicant)
EXPECTED RESULT
1.) About security type:
The Security type should show WPA2-PSK, as on WPA supplicant, when this is the
security type used.
Since nothing was changed on the router side regarding the security type,
changing from WPA Supplicant to IWD should show the same thing.
2.) About connection speed:
The connection speed should show any value up to 300 MBit/s for the 2.4 GHz
band and up to 433 MBit/s for the 5 GHz band
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.101.0
Qt Version: 5.15.7
OS: Debian 12
Kernel: 6.1.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.4-1 (2023-01-07) x86_64
GNU/Linux
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Router used for testing: Archer C20 v1 00000002:
Which should have a maximum speed of 300 Mbps, on 2.4 GHz band and 433 Mbps, on
5 GHz band:
https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/wifi-router/archer-c20/
Transmit power set to High and the laptop 3 meters away, in direct view, no
obstacles in between.
2.4 GHz band set to b/g/n mixed (there's no n only) put on a a little
overlapping channel.
5 GHz band set to 11a/n/ac (there's no ac only) put on a channel that is not
overlapping any other network as it's the only 5 GHz network around.
