I have a USB drive with Manjaro Gnome installed. Its fully updated, When I boot using this USB on my Dell Latityde 7390 the wifi is very slow. It can drop down to just a few Mb/s
Booting on a Manjaro Gnome iso I get full speed 100/10
Looking at inxi -F i get this on my USB install and when booting the iso:
Device-2: Intel Wireless 8265 / 8275 driver: iwlwifi
Can I reset wifi drivers and settings somehow?
Hi @niclasc,
I do not know what kernel version are you using, but you could post the output of inxi -Fazy on this post, in order to receieve help from the forum users.
Meanwhile, you could read the following post.

Hope it help, regards.
I’ve tried Kernel 5.10, 5.9, 5.8 and 5.4 all with tha same problem. If I Boot of a Manjaro install iso then wifi works fine

I understood your comment, I have no experience on booting from an USB.
I can recommend two other post from the forum whether you could find help:
'https://forum.manjaro.org/t/wan-speeds-slower-than-windows/24509/7´
and ‘WIFI doesn't work with new install, driver is iwlwifi’
Maybe, there is a persistence problem in your USB.
Please, consider to read the following post: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/problems-with-booting-shutdown-in-a-persistent-manjaro-usb-drive-win-10-situation/38902

Here are 2 speedtests, Both done using the built in browser
This is booting of manjaro-gnome-20.1.2-minimal-201019-linux58.iso:
And this is my install:
Hi @niclasc,
Your wifi driver is supported ´https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi´ here.
The source code is here.
The only advice I can give to you is to install the driver manually.
Regards,
I found an old SSD with manjaro gnome installed. It had kernel 5.9.1-1. So perhaps a month old install
I did a speedtest and got this:
Then I did an update. 398 packages got updated. After the update I got this:
Hi @niclasc,
I have no answer at all and instead several questions.
Did you reboot the machine?
Which command or package did you use to make the update?
At last, try with the solution on the following post:
‘Very slow WiFi after recent update [Unstable Branch]’
Regards,
I updated using package manager and I have reboot more times than I can count.
A clean install using a least a month old iso then the wifi i fine. After an update its broken
In the file /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager-intern.conf it says “CHANGES TO THIS FILE WILL BE OVERWRITTEN” so why edit that file??
Also that fix is for Realtek RTL8821CE. And I have a Inte card with intel driver
Tried the fix in the link but it did not help. Speed/connection so bad that I cant run the speedtest

None of them helps. I’m at around 1/10 of the speed I should be
sudo sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_ecn=0 gives:

Ecn 2 is default
With iso manjaro-gnome-20.1.2-minimal-201019-linux58.iso wifi runs at full speed
But with newest iso manjaro-gnome-20.2-minimal-201203-linux59.iso wifi is VERY slow. Just a few Mbits
Something has changed from one old iso to the latesgt so that affects the speed of wifi
If you suspect the wifi driver, you could check which versions are installed on both.
If they differ you could try downgrade the driver to see if that helps…
Start by using the latest iso 
PS:
Just crosslinking Manjaro 20.2 Nibia got released to have this issue linked in that thread.
You might also post something there mentioning this thread so more will notice it…
How do I check version of wifi driver?
You could use:
Path: in the wifi interface.Path: pci-0000:05:00.00000:05:00.0
Kernel driver in use: wl
/lib/modules/5.9.11-3-MANJARO/extramodules/wl.ko.xz
linux59-broadcom-wl 6.30.223.271-10linux59-broadcom-wl with version 6.30.223.271-10
On iso manjaro-gnome-20.1.2-minimal-201019-linux58.iso iwlwifi-ko-xz is owned by linux58 5.8.16-2
On iso manjaro-gnome-20.2-minimal-201203-linux59.iso iwlwifi-ko-xz is owned by linux59 5.9.11-3
2.4Ghz or 5Ghz make any difference?
You could try to downgrade the linux-firmware to the one that has no problem.
Also check your dmesg if you have any microcode sw errors
