The wifi on my Thinkpad running Linux works really, really bad and I don't understand why, and it seems to only behave this way intermittently

Speed test on desktop with ethernet: 804 Mbps down, 500 Mbps up

Speed test on laptop with wifi: 1-4 Mbps down, upload test simply crashes and sends no data (this is the Google/MLabs internet test), meanwhile I'm downloading a new Rust with Rustup and it's going at 300kb/s which takes a long time

iwconfig claims I'm connected at 5ghz with "Bit Rate=866.7 Mb/s Tx-Power=24 dBm"

I looked at "iw list" and I thiiiiink it's saying I'm using 802.11n but I'm not sure I know how to interpret it, it's just an enormous spew

tail /proc/net/wireless prints… this

Is -256 noises good? I don't know

The number under "misc" counts up about once a second

@dotstdy Uh… I don't know. We have three little tp-link pucks that are somehow transmitting a single wifi network from multiple places in the apartment. My wife set them up and I'm not sure exactly what they're doing, technically. How do I initiate a "manual scan"?

The GNOME terminal has a weird feature where you can copy text as HTML, which is really annoying when you activate it by accident but when you activate it on purpose turns out to be pretty nice, e.g. https://data.runhello.com/gist/20240520.html
