System doesn't find any wireless connections and only USB Tethering/Ethernet works

It’s been a while my Wi-Fi is unstable here. Sometimes it suddenly disconnects and I have to restart my laptop. Sometimes even several reboots needed. I am on dual boot with windows 10 which i barely login.

Below is the output of inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host

:+1: Welcome to Manjaro! :+1:

  1. Thank you for providing an inxi! You’ve been paying attention before posting! :grin:

  2. Cold boot when you get stuck once.

  3. Have you tried kernel 5.10 yet?

  4. If Kernel 5.10 doesn’t help, please report back because the only other driver I can find is abandonware since Feb 2012 so we’ll see…

:crossed_fingers:

Your welcome sir.

Not yet. But I will try soon ASAP.

@Fabby I have installed LTS kernel 5.10, should I remove previous kernel or wait for sometime. As wifi disconnection issue is random so idk 5.10 will be same as 5.4 or we are going to be profited.

so that the next person that has the exact same problem you just had will benefit from your post as well as your question will now be in the “solved” status.

Oops sorry I just missed the notification.
So when I installed 5.10.52_rt47-3 kernel. Wifi was working fine, then it randomly used to disconnect for 1-2 days but a restart fixed it and the frequency of this disconnection reduced slowly.
I don’t think from last 1 month I have ever faced this random disconnectivity of wifi and am still on same kernel version xD
