By any chance did this start when you moved to the 6.13.x kernel ?
*QSI = Quick System Info from menu (Copy for Forum)
*MXPI = MX Package Installer
*Please check the solved checkbox on the post that solved it.
*Linux -This is the way!

You need to test the laptop against another router. If the problem doesn't repeat, you will know right away that the problem lies with your own router (or upstream with your provider) and not the wifi card.
HP 15; ryzen 3 5300U APU; 500 Gb SSD; 8GB ram
HP 17; ryzen 3 3200; 500 GB SSD; 12 GB ram
Idea Center 3; 12 gen i5; 256 GB ssd;

In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.

You might want to determine if your provider has a history of throttling heavy bandwidth users.
