Internet working slower than on Windows 10, definitely not bias!

[scriptKiddie]

Hi! I have been using Ubuntu for many years now and I've dual booted Manjaro with Windows 10 now. For some reason websites load a lot slower on Manjaro than Windows and I haven't experienced this in Ubuntu before. I don't know where to really start, I've done some basic stuff like changing the ipv4 DNS 1.1.1.1 and ipv6 to the one cloudflare mentions on their website. But that hasn't fixed the issue. At times the internet is so slow that youtube videos won't even load on my gigabit connection and I'll have to refresh the page several times in frustration.

Here's some basic info that may or may not be useful:
(I've combined three images below with a line separator since I can't post more than one image because I'm new )

Try this and reboot, make a test and see if it is better

Just a guess here, since i also had some issues with some connections, a bit different, but yet once i edited the /etc/dhcpcd.conf on this section from: # Use the hardware address of the interface for the Client ID. #clientid # or # Use the same DUID + IAID as set in DHCPv6 for DHCPv4 ClientID as per RFC4361. # Some non-RFC compliant DHCP servers do not reply with this set. # In this case, comment out duid and enable clientid above. duid to # Use the hardware address of the interface for the …

How to provide good information in your posts

When asking questions in the forum, it would be most helpful to all members if you provide some basic information. When you provide info from the terminal, usually from your logs, you have to format it so the content is easy to read. First copy and paste your text/terminal/code into the post Then select the text/code and click the post edit toolbar button </> . Another handy way is to use 3 backticks ` at the start and 3 more at the end of the text like this: ``` Paste text or code here …

Hi there. Please post your specs in text format (not images).

Post output of:

inxi -Fxzc0

Without more info here's a simple tip. Completely power down computer and router, unplug power supplies and LAN cable. Switch in a different LAN cable. Put all plugs back in and restart all.

It's very hard to work from pics, but it looks like it says your default gateway is 192.168.1.1. Shouldn't that be 192.168.0.1 for the default gateway.

You should also try blacklisting the r8168 driver, and test your NIC using the r8169 driver.

Sure, I'll keep that in mind for the future.

So I tried blacklisting the r8168 driver and remade the image using mkinitcpio -g IMAGE and rebooted. Then I ran inxi -Fxzc0 to make sure that driver line under 'Network' said r8169 but I noticed no difference in webpage loading times. So I read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network_configuration#Realtek_RTL8111.2F8168B and found out that my card is a known nuisance. It recommends trying to switch off IPv6 to see if that helps, I tried opening the network settings GUI in Manjaro and setting IPv6 to 'disable' and rebooted for both r8169 and r8168 drivers. I did not make any configuration file changes to meddle with IPv6 though. Nothing is making a difference. Could you please expound upon your default gateway not being 192.168.0.1 thought? My Win10 ipconfig yields the following:

Ethernet adapter Ethernet 2:

   Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected
   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :

Ethernet adapter Ethernet:

   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . : Home
   Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::298b:5426:1c30:8f04%6
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.118
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1

I noticed that the default gateway is indeed 192.168.1.1 which is the same on Manjaro, so I don't know if that is a problem.

By the way, my /etc/dhcpcd.conf looks like:

# Use the hardware address of the interface for the Client ID.
clientid
# or
# Use the same DUID + IAID as set in DHCPv6 for DHCPv4 ClientID as per RFC4361.
# Some non-RFC compliant DHCP servers do not reply with this set.
# In this case, comment out duid and enable clientid above.
#duid

and NOT:

# Use the hardware address of the interface for the Client ID.
#clientid
# or
# Use the same DUID + IAID as set in DHCPv6 for DHCPv4 ClientID as per RFC4361.
# Some non-RFC compliant DHCP servers do not reply with this set.
# In this case, comment out duid and enable clientid above.
duid

as per @bogdancovaciu 's instructions, although that hasn't fixed the issue. Thanks for the help though bogdan.

If you go into the connection properties in Network Manager and select IPv4 tab on the right side. You should be able to set your default gateway to 192.168.0.1. Perhaps your router is different, but every router I've had uses that as the default gateway out of the box.

Also while you're in your connection properties disable IPV6 from within network manager.

[scriptKiddie]

Thanks for the reply! Do those network changes need a reboot to take effect?

[scriptKiddie]

It worked! I disabled IPv6 and disabled and reenabled the connection and somehow my DNS is set to 192.168.1.1 but it works like a charm! Thanks everyone for their help.

[cscs]

That means you are getting your DNS from your router. Lookup how to override that via something like the Arch Wiki ... or go change your routers DNS settings.

@scriptKiddie

hasn’t fixed the issue

That was the first step. And as was said here

@tbg

You should be able to set your default gateway to 192.168.0.1. Perhaps your router is different, but every router I’ve had uses that as the default gateway out of the box.

and

@cscs

That means you are getting your DNS from your router.

The connection should be set to Automatic on IPV4 if the router works as DHCP server.
Cheers!
