Problem with WiFi driver in arch linux

Hi everyone

I’ve been trying to solve a problem with my arch (endeavour) instalation and wanted to know if anyone here can help

Everything is working well, excepting the WiFi connection. It is extremely slow, sometimes disconnecting from the network, and in the task bar, the WiFi icon shows that the signal strength is weak, although the router is in the same room. Switching between r8168 and r8169 as recommended doesnt work. Any ideas?

    You can try the LTS kernel if that is available on your distro but honestly Intel Wi-Fi cards are the way to go on Linux. I wouldn’t buy anything else!

    Also I’m not sure you can @ someone that way.

      @Link @linux Yeah the kernel changes nothing, I might have to change to intel because I dont know what else to do at software level
      About the @ , I’m using my mastodon account to write all these posts and they are added automatically. Besides thats the best way for the posts I write in mastodon to appear as comments in lemmy clients. If they look weird to you it might be activitypub compatibility bugs but nothing too important :)
