[SOLVED] Poor WiFi signal with Intel AX211 chip

Hello to all.

I've installed Arch on new machine - MSI Katana 17 B12U. Everything is Ok except wifi and Bluetooth (Bluetooth didn't set up yet). It works, but connection strength is very poor. This is chip AX211 with BlueTooth.

Arch is on kernel 6.10.7-arch1-1.

Here's some info:

[miles@katana ~]$ lspci -k -s 0000:00:14.3
0000:00:14.3 Network controller: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-P PCH CNVi WiFi (rev 01)
        DeviceName: Onboard - Ethernet
        Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wi-Fi 6E(802.11ax) AX211 160MHz 2x2 [Garfield Peak]
        Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
        Kernel modules: iwlwifi

What else I've noticed: list of wofi networks is too short. On Windows it shows about 15-20 networks, in Arch it shows only 5 of them when not connected to my SSID being on the same place in my flat. When it's connected to my WiFi it only shows my wifi in the list.

So I need help to find out, is this possible to resolve.

If you need more outputs, tell me please.

Thank you.

The ArchWiki "Wireless" page has a section dedicated to iwlwifi so go through that after you have confirmed that "fast start" is disabled in Windows.
