A couple a days ago I upgraded my Wi-Fi card to an Intel AX210 from a Mediatek MT7921 due to a problem with my laptop not being able to wake up from sleep and also due to a really buggy internet connection on Windows and on Manjaro(I have a persistent USB with Manjaro running on it)
So basically my problem is that it takes a long time to connect to my network and when it does it is basically unusable, loading google takes like 30sec or even more so there is no point in testing the internet speed. I have tried different kernels, 5.15, 6.1 and even 6.3 but itās all the same. I tried using wavemon to see if I can catch something weird but nothing really, all I found was that power save was on by default and I turned it off(Iāll attach a screenshot of wavemon somewhere here).
For now I have found that sharing that same network through my phone until I find a solution for the problem.
If someone has anything in mind what would cause this issue please advise.

Here is the output from wavemon for that network
from what I can see. So, I see you have IPv6 enables on the device. So for giggles, letās try disabling that.
