Description
The connection speeds on the MT7921 on my Arch linux distro seems to be like less than half of what it is on windows.
I have implemented disable_aspm=1
Changed kernel from linux-zen to LTS
Tried Changing the TX_Power as 3 dBm is too low and i have triangulated that this is probably at fault
I checked the debug files for the driver in /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phyX/mt7921/txpower_sku

Research direction
Start by inspecting the MT7921 debug data at /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phyX/mt7921/txpower_sku and reviewing the reported ASPM, kernel, and TX power changes. Compare the connection speed with the Windows result and determine whether the driver exposes an incorrect or insufficient TX power. Done requires identifying a reproducible driver cause and verifying improved speed on Arch Linux.
