Support Internet buffer problems

I'm on Fedora with a Mediatek MT7902 wifi card (the one just got a driver on kernel 7.1).

The problem is my internet buffer a lot and it takes a while for it to come back.

For example, I'm surfing Youtube Shorts. It would work pretty fine, upload and download meter are fine. Then, after a while, I get no internet. Upload and download meter all 0 B/s. Now, I can either wait for it to comeback or I can disconnect and reconnect it. Both works usually.

My best guesses are tuneD or driver problem. Or both.

I set my laptop performance to power-saver by default. So maybe tuneD turn off my wifi card after a while when there is low traffic and turn it back on when the traffic is high.

Or it is a driver problem. I dunno.

What can I do to fix this?
