Serious wifi issues

So as of a couple hours a go my wifi keeps disconcerting and reconnecting every couple minutes. When it disconnects it says “Authorization supplicant timed out” and when it is connected I get kilobytes of speeds at best or just flat out 0 up 0 down. None of my other devices are having any unusual network behavior or well changes at all. I’m fairly new to running Manjaro as my main OS so if there’s any commands I need to run to give further insight please let me know. I would greatly appreciate any help as I need my laptop for college.

Hi @Deathboredem,

In order for us, or anyone for that matter, to be able to provide assistance, more information is necessary. To that end, please see:

Hope you manage!


Tip:

To provide terminal output, copy the text you wish to share, and paste it here, surrounded by three (3) backticks, a.k.a grave accents. Like this:

```
pasted text
```

This will just cause it to be rendered like this:

Portaest sed
elementum
cursus nisl nisi
hendrerit ac quis
sit
adipiscing
tortor sit leo commodo.

Instead of like this:

Portaest sed elementum cursus nisl nisi hendrerit ac quis sit adipiscing tortor sit leo commodo.

Thereby improving legibility and making it much easier for those trying to be of assistance.

I would suggest try switching kernels (preferrably an LTS kernel) even if you are already using an LTS kernel.

To do so use manjaro-settings-manager

Funny, Just got this issue on an installation that is about a year old. Also, on an m6 mini pc where I installed manjaro with KDE a month ago. As well as my friends AMD PC where he just installed manjaro from an image that was on my usb stick that I used to flash the M6 mini pc. It doesn’t happen on my dell g7 though.

It used to ask for the user password. I removed everything from the kwallet and then it started asking for the network password. If you just click cancel and reconnect, it works without needing to reenter a password.

Updating to kernel 5.17-9 from the LTS seems to have made an improvement to how frequently this occurs. It does still occur though.

I am already on LTS so should I switch off and switch back or what would be my best option do do so. I’m on 5.15.46-1 according to manjaro-setting-manger

I just want to say I really appreciate the fast response and help. Super helpful community!

I’d sat try 5.10 or 5.4 than. See:

I did a few unrelated updates and a kernel update and the issue seems to be gone! Thanks so much everyone! :grinning:

The most important thing that would probably not have caused this issue:

ALWAYS keep your system updated.

Don’t skip updates. Don’t skip merging of .pacnew files. Don’t skimp on system maintenance:
