Hey! I’m running manjaro KDE plasma on an Hp omen laptop (with a windows 10 dualboot) and I’m encountering some network issues
The wifi feels very unstable and the upload/download are often at 0 as you can see in the linked picture

Here are my drivers

your wifi is this:
and the r8168 is for ethernet…
post full system info:
inxi -Fazv7
and disable fast boot in bios - you may not have this option;
and disable fast startup in windows;
and test again

what’s strange is that in mhwd -l, I don’t seem to have the intel wifi driver installed
I’ll try disabling fast boot and fast startup
iwlwifi is in the kernel and doesn’t need to be installed additionally.
You could try a few power settings. Check the arch wiki for this.

yes you have the driver:
so if disabling fast boot and fast startup didnt helped, try switching kernel…
also provide output from:
rfkill list
