Network sticks when downloading files

I have a problem with the Internet on Manjaro Kernel 5.10.2. The first attempts were on 6.9.0-1 but it looked the same. The problem is that I connect to the Internet via WiFi without a proxy or VPN. Everything works fine until I start downloading something using the terminal, e.g. git clone or sudo pacman -S xxx, and especially when I use rdesktop. Then the internet stops working, but the WIFI connection is still active. For example, they enter the Brave browser and when refreshing the page, nothing happens, the page does not load. I’m new and I have freshly installed manjaro

It may be that the mirror(s) you use happen to be slow. I should also mention that WiFi is not ideal when updating Manjaro; especially if the service is not reliable to begin with.

Try configuring the mirrors while updating. The following command combination finds the top 5 fastest available mirrors:

sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack 5 && sudo pacman -Syu

I hope this helps. Cheers.

Thanks for fast replay.
I did this what you suggest

  0.359 Germany : https://mirror.alpix.eu/manjaro/
   0.843 United_States : https://coresite.mm.fcix.net/manjaro/
   ..... South_Korea : https://mirror.funami.tech/manjaro/
   2.264 Chile : https://mirror.ufro.cl/manjaro/
   0.474 Belgium : https://mirror.futureweb.be/manjaro/

but still not working properly. Now im trying to install jdtls using mason.nvim and when mason start downloading my internet stops working. But if i don’t start nvim i can easily use brave and watch’s youtube’s etc.
After my internet stops working i can reconnect my internet by just clicking on my network and it’s internet back to live.

Ok now i did a quick test. I take url that’s mason.nvim try to download.
https://download.eclipse.org/jdtls/milestones/1.35.0/jdt-language-server-1.35.0-202404251256.tar.gz
and just simply paste in to brave. And internet also stops working.

No … That will rank 5 random mirrors by speed.

All the more random if the mirror list has not been previously sorted.

(as shown here - where there are hits for chile, korea and germany)

To rank all mirrors by speed drop the integer

sudo pacman-mirrors -f

To rank the closest ones using geolocate (ip region)

sudo pacman-mirrors --continent

Which may or may not make pacman work a bit quicker, but likely has little to do with this ‘system networking errors out whenever using the terminal’.

yep i think this is not a problem in pacman or mirrors.

sudo pacman-mirrors --continent

works fine and give me ton of results

now i’m trying to switch Driver: “ath10k_pci” to just ath

I think your issue could be caused by your wlan country not being registered correct.
