Thanks a lot for helping!!!
I have connected my adapter to the front panel which (3 or 3.1) as for some reason, i am not getting the wifi connection as strong as i used to on windows.
So what should i do? you said make sure it is not a usb3 port, will that be a problem?
also do i have to disable mac address randomization if i disable power management or if i want to remove tlp?
i am thinking to keep tlp to save power.
