Hello
I have installed Manjaro on this machine 3 years ago (as soon as I bought it actually), but since a little more than 2 weeks, I have a very crappy WiFi. I thought it was an ISP problem at first (I don’t have other devices to check), but they didn’t find any problem on their side.

It didn’t change anything. I also didn’t find anyone who’s problem came a long time after installation

I know I don’t have the best machine, I’m planning on buying a new one, but I don’t have the means right now
