Running Leap 42.1 with Plasma 5.4.3.
Connected to wireless network via PCI TL-WN350GS network card.
Wireless was working fine until I did a patch update yesterday after being prompted by the Software update manager.
I plugged in a network cable into the machine.
You can see how the response times change when I disable the wireless and the network cable takes over. So it’s obviously the problem is with the wireless config on the Leap box because the lappy is on the wireless as well and there is not problem.

If I switch back to wireless the speed is comparable to the eth0.
iwlist wlan0 bitrate
wlan0 unknown bit-rate information.

Will keep an eye on this.
The problem is very similar to the one described in this thread: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/404349-Fast-Ethernet-but-slow-wireless[/size][/size][/size][/size][/size]
