Using a Thinkpad T460s (up to date) on Kernel 6.3.7-arch1-1. linux-firmware is downloaded already. I can connect to the internet but it cuts out very frequently when using eduroam which is what my university uses. At home the connection is fine. I had a similar issue with my old X220 which was solved by me switching distros and wifi cards.

New to the forum so I don't know what other information I should post. Searched around and found people with the same problem but their underlying issues were different from mine (ex. lack of linux-firmware, guy restarting his laptop, etc.)
