WiFi Ralink RT3592 2T/2R not working properly
Posted: 2024-09-13 20:02
I have an hp ProBook 4330s running Debian 12 stable with Gnome desktop environment. It is equipped with a Ralink RT3592 2T/2R for WiFi connection. When I open WiFi settings, it says Wireless Connected, but when I run speedtest I only get 0.56 Mbit/s Downlink and 1.75 Mbit/s Uplink. I searched the forum and found this thread about Wlan problem.
The thread refers to the Debian WiKi on WiFi. Here I found the Ralink RT3592 2T/2R and the help page for it, the Debian WiKi for rt2800pci.

When I try to run this, I get an error message:
What am I doing wrong?
