qualcomm atheros ar9485 wireless network adapter 10.0.0.350

Mobo: Dell model: 00FTTX v: A00 serial: UEFI: Dell v: A03 Type: Portable System: Dell product: Inspiron 3531 v: A03 serial: V: 7.4.0 Desktop: Cinnamon 4.2.3 Distro: Linux Mint 19.2 Tina on-ubuntu/ as they didn't really seem relevant but maybe I'm wrong?

All but the last three solutions listed here. DL speed on phone: 20.1 Mbps Download/ 5.43 Mbps Upload.ġ. DL speed on LAPTOP: 1.41 Mbps Download/ 5.00 Mbps Upload. Model = Dell Inspiron 3531, no ethernet port. No disconnect and reconnect issues so far on linux. I recently migrated from windows where I didn't have problems with DL speed although on windows it would often disconnect and reconnect which makes me think hardware. This is a bummer as I really like linux mint otherwise. Today I realized my download speeds were slow on my laptop but much faster on my phone.

My card is recognized it's just that the DL speed is super slow.

I looked at this post: viewtopic.php?t=272234 with the same wifi card as me but their problem was different. Hello all, I've been googling and tried a few different solutions but no fix yet.
