Hello,
I recently moved to Manjaro as my primary OS about 2-3 months ago and so far I am loving the experience of being a full time Linux user
I still have a lot to learn and am not fully confident with what i’m doing a lot of the time yet so I wanted to ask for some help with a WiFi issue.
My WiFi rarely seems to get a signal of more than 2 bars, I’ve tried 2 different routers, 1 being just the default sky broadband router and the other is a Netgear Nighthawk X6 R8000. My phone is also connected to the same router and right here in my pocket next to the laptop and it constantly has full signal.
I can be browsing the web, or on a discord call for example and the wifi will just suddenly drop out (although does not fully disconnect) just becomes unusable but if i check my phone the wifi is fine. Usually it takes 2-3 minutes for it to return.
The version information for what I am running is as follows:
DISTRIB_ID=ManjaroLinux
DISTRIB_RELEASE=20.2.1
DISTRIB_CODENAME=Nibia
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Manjaro Linux"
Kernal version is 5.10.15-1

Hi @Rhaom ,Qualcomm Atheros Troubleshooting Guide|20201019 ’
Otherwise, there are a couple of post related to your comments.https://forum.manjaro.org/t/internet-connection-gets-very-slow-stops-completely/33103´
In this post read the Hook to fix the Artheros QCA937 firmware issue, although is older.
Hope it help, regards,
