I switched to Garuda a few days ago after using Manjaro exclusively for almost 2 years, apart from few Nvidia related issues my experience with Garuda was pretty good but today I noticed a strange issue with my wifi card.
I have a 4G router and Fiber connection (which I connect to via ethernet cable), for the last few days I have only been using a fiber connection and today I tried to switch to the 4G router (via WIFI) and I noticed my internet is extremely slow. So I tried connecting to the router from my phone and in that connection worked fine.
Then I ran ping against my router's IP found out it has extremely High latency, note that the router sits like 50 centimeters away from the laptop.

I tried disabling Wifi power save and MAC address randomization on Garuda Network Assistant but it didn't help. When I connect to my router via LAN cable it works without an issue.

Any idea how to fix this?. I can't just connect to the 4G router via a LAN cable because I need to use my ethernet port to connect to my other router and I need to switch between these 2 depending on what I am doing.
