I have switched to Opensuse KDE recently for lot of functionality available compared to another linux distros.
Everything works great, except 1 minor issue. The wifi connectivity tops at 50 to 75 Mbps for download; upload speed has no issues. Typically i get about 200Mbps in other distros on same hardware. I tried gecko linux (rolling with all the same updates as opensuse tumbleweed) and it was also able to get about 200Mbps.
Reason for preference over other distos (especially gecko) is due to disk partitioning done in Opensuse (BTRFS + Subvolumes)
So wondering if there is anything that i am missing from settings.
I am trying to use Opensuse Tumbleweed as daily driver and experience slowness in web pages loading, watching videos, and having video calls.
Since opensuse and gecko are using the same packages, trying to figure out why it behaving differently for wifi? Still doing some research, but any hints on how to resolve it will be helpful.

Please let me know if there is anything further i need to look into
