Unstable
I think a fwupdmgr upgrade
might have helped, but I’m not sure. I’m on the latest firmware:
ThinkPad T14/P14s Gen 3 T16/P16s Gen 1 AMD System Update:
New version: 0.1.52
Remote ID: lvfs
Release ID: 90436

License: Proprietary
Size: 34.6 MB
Created: 2021-07-13
Urgency: High
Slow with latency
Can never seen to get higher then 50 Mbit/s whilst my Mac M1 Pro can easily get 300 Mbit/s and above.
Noticed my @archlinux T14 wireless ping times are 2x that of my Mac pic.twitter.com/vqe0o5u073
