After changing to a modem that supports 5GHz, my secondary laptop keeps disconnecting with various error messages. The errors I get are the same as the ones referred on this topic.
- Authorization supplicant timed out
- No secrets were provided
- Wireless interface was not found
plus - IP configuration was unavailable
- Failed to update core
I will try to provide useful info but bear with me as I’m not used to troubleshooting on linux. Please let me know if you need me to give you another log.

So far I have tried:
- Changing a kernel, according to this topic
- Ignoring IPv6 and ticking IPv4 is required from network settings, according to a lot of different topic
- Installing dhcp, according to this topic that was linked as a solution to a similar topic on this forum.
- Installing r8168-dkms according to this topic.
I tried looking into my modem’s settings. Nothing seems weird there and the other devices connected to it don’t have such a problem. I also have to note that although I followed the instructions on the threads I linked above, I may have done something wrong in the process.
