Asus Prime B550M-A Wifi card bad compatability
I've diagnosed my Wi-Fi issue to being specific to the Asus B550's Wi-Fi card or the included antenna. Would really appreciate some guidance before I go buying anything.
Issue: high ping jitter and download latency.

Wonder if your issue is the power_save setting too. https://discord.com/channels/1072614816579063828/1332583335851200573 Have a look at this thread. This helped on the Rog Ally Z1E but let's see if it makes a difference for you too
ASUS Prime B550M-A WIFI II motherboard
Bluetooth has also stopped working
Am I supposed to download any drivers or do any additional work for this
Update: Rogers ignite internet seems to be the culprit
Update: the included antenna with the Asus motherboard also seems to be shitting
Update: A new antenna did not change the ping results. USB tethering improves and stabilizes ping. Drivers are all up to date and active.
This is a comparability issue between bazzite and the MediaTek WiFi module.
Try disabling the wifi powersave feature in Network manager https://docs.bazzite.gg/General/issues_and_resolutions/#lag-spikes-on-the-rog-ally-z1e this made a HUGE difference on my ROG Ally and it also made a small difference on my Laptop running Bazzite.

Dude
Did that just disable internet on my computer
Yeah my computer officially has no network manager anymore
Please tell me that was not a prank
Update: fixed the above issue, and following @wolfyreload's suggested commands, my Wi-Fi ping is now also fixed.
But I have to ask why this power save feature is enabled and does it affect most or all WiFi cards?
Mark as solved after somebody answers this^
Devina is still whining about buffer bloat.
Not sure why power save feature is on by default. I suspect it's a feature that is enabled by default from Fedora. No idea what devices it affects. But so far it has improved the internet on my ally and laptop by disabling it.
I haven't heard of the term buffer bloat before. So I can't help you with that sorry
