Im running Lubuntu 22.04 LTS on a probook 4530s with latest updates as of this post

The wifi is very bad, slow, and randomly times out while using the web. the PC does not report ever disconnecting from the WiFi itself.

While the Ethernet cord is plugged in it returns normal speed and pings from 8.8.8.8

When on WiFi, when running ping 8.8.8.8 sometimes (not often) its completely normal.

Sometimes ping looks like this:

From 192.168.0.150 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.0.150 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.0.150 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable
...

Other times it looks like this:

PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=2 ttl=110 time=242 ms
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=3 ttl=110 time=89.0 ms
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=6 ttl=110 time=309 ms
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=8 ttl=110 time=985 ms
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=9 ttl=110 time=215 ms
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=11 ttl=110 time=289 ms
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=13 ttl=110 time=216 ms
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=14 ttl=110 time=161 ms

Edit: Ran sudo iwconfig wlo1 power off and no improvement

I have set ipv6 to disabled as was suggested in a old thread, to no avail.

Is there any other info i should add?

Also how do i fix this?

I'm not super knowledgeable about Linux systems so please bear with me.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
