The only thing I can think of, (it bit me once), was that you have the same name for both your 2.4GHz & 5GHz WiFi networks. And the software on our Pinebook Pro is getting confused. That of course is very un-likely. When it bit me, (many years ago when I first starting using 5GHz WiFi), I started using different names for the different bands on my WiFi router. Like; wifi_name wifi_name5g As I said, it's un-likely to be your problem.

If so, I am assuming that you tried the pbp with each build in the same place. If that is the case, can you move the device closer to your router and try? Also, if you check the WiFi troubleshooting section of the wiki, you will get several suggestions about fixing the wifi, one of which is using the firmware from the Manjaro build...
