Hey Fedora community. I’ve also decided to join your community and am contacting you with a problem.
As soon as I switched from win to Fedora, I almost immediately noticed that the WiFi was showing fewer bars than on Windows. After a short observation, I actually noticed a slightly worse signal quality. (speed is the same)
I disabled Power Safe. I also noticed that my laptop was jumping between 2.4 and 5 GHz on this WiFi. I disabled that too.
On Windows, the laptop was in the same place under the same conditions and showed almost 100% of the time, with a near-perfect signal of about 90-95%. On Fedora, the signal is only 50-60% (maybe цin was just deceiving me?)
Here are the command outputs:

I couldn’t find similar threads on the forum.
I’d appreciate any help.
