Having a strangely weak signal

As I've mentioned my signal is really strange,varying from 2% to 27% to 100% very often.

How is this an Artix issue? At most it is an issue with the associated kernel module (="driver") or its configuration, so try upstream. It could also be a hardware issue or issue with the WiFi signal itself, which is even less related to Artix.

I never had this issue on any other distro besides Artix.I guess I'll just switch.
