Hey all! My Lenovo IdeaPad 330 is having wifi problems. Connecting works fine and after connecting it works without issues for a random amount of time, after which transfer just stops. The connection stays active, and the wifi tray app blinks between a few hundreds of bytes per second and nothing at all. Reconnecting or turning wifi off and on resets the situation. May be completely unrelated, but the tray app also freezes for a few seconds whenever I try to do something in this state.
I remember seeing a bunch of issues around the web related to this Aetheros chip the laptop is using, they mostly talked about changing back to older firmware version, I tried that, didn’t solve my issue.
