Edited the OP for proper inxi information formatting.
If you have tlp installed, you can remove it and see if the issue persist, or keep it and disable power management on that USB port the wifi is connected to. tlpui can give a graphical interface for that. Also make sure is not a USB3 port.
You could disable MAC address randomization in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and change it to have this lines:
[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no
save it and then run from terminal: systemctl restart NetvorkManager
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.
i tried disabling tlp and also mac randomization, nothing worked.
However i found this when i type ip link
wlp3s0f0u3: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN mode DORMANT group default qlen 1000
the interface is Dormant mode for some reason. i changed it to Default by typing ip link set interface-name deafult
But that did not solve the problem and it goes to dormant mode after starting pc.
I guess if i am able to change it permanently, my issue will be fixed. What do you think?
Also, please share how to do it if you know how.
Thanks a lot for your support!!!
What do you get if you run from terminal: rfkill list
Maybe the wifi is locked? Do you disabled in Windows the fast boot and hybrid sleep ? Sometimes that puts some devices in a zombie state when booting back in linux.

The network manager wait online issue has gone after checking after 1 day automatically.
the other two are still there.
Would the watchdog hardware issue cause my wifi problem??
