Limited connectivity, very slow, disconnecting WFI

Hello guys,

I have a weird problem with my Wifi connectivity after a clean update. When i’m connecting with Wifi, it seems to connect very slowly, sometimes i got a limited connectivity and signal is low as well (router is next room).
But when i’m connecting into my phone to have access to internet: every thing is fine.

I check for power saving mode but it’s off, Ipv6 is off too. I’m pretty noob in linux. I don’t have any idea what’s wrong.

Hi @guiui59 ,
Welcome to the forum!
Could you please put the output of the following terminal commands here?
rfkill list all
You can unblock any devices with rfkill unblock all

sudo dmesg | grep r8169

iw phy0 info

I also suggest you on trying to disable randomization on your wifi card. But first I have to see the outputs.
A useful post for this is the following: ‘IPV6 drops at random intervals - #2 by megavolt

Hope this help, regards.

rfkill list all

0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no

Thanks for the help!

Hi @guiui59,
I guess you have another problem and I need from you to post the output of the following terminal commands:

journalctl -f -u avahi-daemon -u NetworkManager

systemctl list-unit-files | grep NetworkManager

systemctl list-unit-files | grep dhcp

The reference for my questions are the post I suggest you to read and the following one.
[SOLVED] Wired connection dropping randomly for a few seconds / Networking, Server, and Protection / Arch Linux Forums

Ok no problem i’ll do it.

Hi @guiui59 ,
I could tell you that all the parameters look nice, the only thin I did not check is the output of the following commands:
lsmod | awk '$1~/^(realtek|r8169|libphy)/'

lspci

Hi @guiui59 ,
You have installed a different driver that could maybe working, but from this post @megavolt it is suggested another one because there is known problems using different drivers.
Ralink RT3290 Bluetooth adapter not found - #3 by megavolt

Please, consider to remove your installed drivers and follow the instructions of the post in order to install the ones that works best.
