I have this trouble with many distros, had hoped it wouldn’t happen in opensuse, but it has.
I can connect to the internet fine, but it refuses to go any quicker than 1mbit. Below is my recent result from speedtest.net

As your wifi link is at 18 Mb/s, it is probably not the source of the problem.
Do you have another local host that you could use for testing performance
without involving the Internet? If not, please run the following command
ping -c 20 -s 1400 <IP of router>
Report the line that looks like
“rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 2.324/2.497/4.033/0.383 ms”
On my system, the router IP is 192.168.1.1 - your will likely be something like
that.
