my wifi is SOOO bad using arch, it gets to a point where its just straight up disconnecting and reconnecting multiple times and its annoying
internet work fine with any other device, i even tried windows on the device and it work perfectly fine
this issue is weird to me because it come and go
like for the last week wi-fi was working perfect
but sudenly it got really bad
its just a cycle of wi-fi bad, wifi good, wifi bad, wifi good
i tried asking in every discord server i know but no response

I'd help you if I had any information. Try this guide and return: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Is this merely an assertion or is there a question in there?
If there is a question in there, you need to tell us what the WiFi hardware is, how you are controlling it (Networkmamager, etc...). And define "Bad". Is it slow? Does it just disconnect often?
You might also provide the output of uname -a and of find /etc/systemd/system

3rd link below. Mandatory.
Disable it (it's NOT the BIOS setting!) and reboot windows and linux twice for voodo reasons.
If the issue remains, please post your complete system journal for a boot covering the situation, eg.
sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st
for the current one.
Your kernel is somewhat dated, but w/ all the bugs in 6.11, it's maybe not all that helpful to update it right now…

The output of the find command looks okay. I was checking to see if there were multiple things fighting for control of the network hardware. I don't see any conflicts in that list.

wifi signal isn't very good but serviceable. Can you get close to the AP?
The journal is only 7 minutes, there's no connection loss - is it supposed to cover network issues?
If "internet is soooo bad" is derived from "spotify does nots works":
Oct 26 07:36:53 archlinux env[2386]: *** stack smashing detected ***: terminated
Oct 26 07:36:53 archlinux systemd-coredump[2393]: Process 2386 (spotify) of user 1000 terminated abnormally with signal 6/ABRT, processing...
That's a spotify (client) issue, not an internet issue.

Do you (sometimes) use bluetooth devices?
Get ABBS
There's a rudimentary speedtest against linode hosts inside, how does that perform?
Online
im not far away from my AP, and i cant get close to it since its in another room.
No its not about spotify not working (i didnt even encounter an issue with spotify lol)
And no i dont use bluetooth
so in conclusion, my best shot is getting closer to the AP? isn't there anything else i can do to help this?
Offline
First and foremost by quantifying "slow", please run and report on the speedtest result as well as whether the shared 7 minute journal is actually supposed to cover connection issues.
You can blindly try to add "ath10k_core.cryptmode=1" to the https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_parameters (I know that certainly ath9k chips had issues w/ that) but that's guesswork based on little more than "my wifi is SOOO bad using arch" which next to "issue is weird to me because it come and go" is pretty much the only indication of the symptoms we have at this point.
