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?

    Well here’s where I became less helpful. There’s 3 possible things I can think of, unfortunately as I haven’t had to do them myself I don’t know how exactly to go about doing them.
    First is to optimize the MTU settings.
    Second is to optimize the Regdomain.
    Third is to investigate Fedora’s WiFi configuration for your card.
    Sorry that I can’t help you pass here.

      @Rustmilian @linux Yeah, it’s close to impossible to find documentation on what to do here. I’m trying to find out how is it that Fedora works well with the same hardware, and even considering changing the card itself, but for the moment at least my connection is much more stable after setting the iwlwifi.conf file
      Once again, thank you for your help!
