I can connect to a WiFi hotspot on my phone (Pixel 6 Pro) perfectly fine, the trouble is connecting directly to a router, either the one at work or the one I own at home. The two routers mentioned are a TP-Link AX6000 and ASUS RT-AX92U respectively; I have admin access to both if that is necessary for troubleshooting.
The problem is that, while I can eventually connect to the routers in question, the connection is insanely slow compared to a wired connection or the mobile hotspot.
(76.95% slower download, 99.64% slower upload)
The network interface in my system is RTL8852AE; I have used rtw89 for the driver and didn't see anything out of the ordinary while installing except for the following:
$ make
make -C /lib/modules/5.15.0-52-generic/build M=/home/richie/test/rtw89 modules
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-5.15.0-52-generic'
warning: the compiler differs from the one used to build the kernel
The kernel was built by: gcc (Ubuntu 11.2.0-19ubuntu1) 11.2.0
You are using: gcc (Ubuntu 11.3.0-1ubuntu1~22.04) 11.3.0
...
However it seems to continue installing after this.
While attempting to connect to a router, sudo dmesg -W | grep wlp2s0 returns:
[14095.433767] wlp2s0: authenticate with f0:2f:74:2d:70:50

...
Repeated serveral times before either connecting, or giving up. This output is the same wether the network in question has a password, or is open.
If I can get a connection to the router, sudo dmesg -W | grep wlp2s0 produces:

This is my first SE question, and I was unsure what information was necessary so I apologize if there is too much info or too little and I can edit in any case.
