Hello, its been a long time since my arch linux installation has extremely slow wifi and (normally) i had more than 100 mbps, right now its only at 20-40 kbps. i tried disabling powersave but it didnt work, tried 2,4ghz since 5ghz is more sensible to walls, didnt work, changed channel, didnt work. I'm really going insane since i cant find a fix and i'm stuck with 40 kbps.

#

and i cant even update the system since the wifi is very slow

Try pinging your router and google.com
If you're seeing a lot of latency or dorpped packaets between your rotuer and laptop, that'd be a differernt issue than if you have issues between your router and the rest of the internet

#

It's also worth rebooting your router maybe and trying a harwire ethernet cable to see if the issue is specifically your wifi
