I just had a look. It's the Asus PCE-N10. From what I can find they have the Realtek RTL8188CE chipset.
Yeah, Realtek WiFi cards are known to be problematic in Linux. Lan as well, but not to that extent.
Just swap the card with another one, no need to pull hair over it, it will most probably never work like it should.
I've started using usb wifi adapters so I can easily swap them out if they don't work. Looks less neat to me but it is what it is.
They have a very very limited range. I have used them, but only if the AP is in the same room, otherwise, they crap out.
PS: Everything's built from reinforced concrete and cinderblocks/bricks around here (seismically active region), so we have trouble with all sorts of wireless signals, including WiFi and 3/4G. 5G is out of the question here. We do have the towers, but less than 1% of users actually use them.
