TLDR: Installed ubuntu 24.04 lts and suddenly my internet connection is super slow. (13Mbps compared to 580Mbps for other devices). Any suggestions?
Problem: I used to have a windows 11, moved to ubuntu. Installed 24.04lts version. Internet seems to be very very slow. Tried couple of other suggestions, such as disabling power management for wifi, update and upgrade the system. These does not seem to do the trick. When i look at the device from the router (Atnt) I see a very low link rate (30mbps) whereas every single other device falls at around 500 mbps. Furthermore, I'm using qualcom network adapter since the one that the dell alienware aurora r7 had, kind of stopped working when i changed the case since the case was too small. So in additional drivers, it shows Broadcom Inc. BCM4360 802.11ac Dualband wireless network adapter, I'm not sure if that is the correct one. The one that I am using is - Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac.
What steps I took?
Tried to disable the power management
