Hi, my wifi keeps dropping speeds intermittently, sometimes is fine, but other times I can’t even open google, is not the modem because my phone is fine when my computer doesn’t have internet, but the wifi doesn’t get disconnected, it just shows that there is like bytes of data being transferred, insted of the Mb that’s supposed to be, any help would be appreciated.
1-. I don’t know how to do that, how do i do that? (It’s the first one the one I don’t use)

Here’s the output when there’s no internet in my laptop, but there is in my phone. * 98:35:ED:16:D1:84 TELMEX2020 Infra 1 195 Mbit/s 0 ____ WPA2
Hi @KeePach,
I have the same wireless card in my laptop but the output is different.
`* 00:2E:C7:45:95:60 WiFi-Arnet-gt8u-2.4G Infra 11 130 Mbit/s 75 ▂▄▆_ WPA2

Can you execute the following command and put the output in the post?
sudo rfkill list all
In my laptop the output is: 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 2: hp-bluetooth: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 3: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no 4: phy1: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no
Hi @KeePach,
Your wifi device is blocked, so rfkill unblock wlan is the next command to run and then try again with rfkill list all.
Try to edit /etc/conf.d/wireless-regdom and uncomment the line correspondig to your country.
Regards,
@j8a are you sure my wlan is blocked? I think is the bluetooth that’s soft bliocked, anyway, here’s the complete list of what you asked
$ sudo rfkill list all
[sudo] password for keepach:
0: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
$ sudo rfkill unblock wlan
$ sudo rfkill list all
0: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
I also edited the wireless-regdom as you asked, thanks for the help, I’ll see if something changes.
Confirmed @j8a: It was the Bluetooth that was soft blocked.
From the output below:
it looks like your router is crapping out and not the PC but as the phone is still connected (I suppose at the same distance that the PC is, please confirm) I’m coming back to you having 2 WiFi adapters being the cause (See below)
Do what? Disable one of the NICs? If one (or both?) of them is a dongle: remove the dongle… I can tell you how to remove the driver, but first we need to know why you have 2 WiFi adapters before I tell you to remove the wrong one… Do you know?
Hi @KeePach
I run a search with BCM432142 802.11 b/g/n and found only four post. Then, after running a terminal command inxi -Nxxxa
I discovered that you are using the bma-pci-bridge driver and the output on my laptop is different. So I think you are not using the broadcom-wl driver Network: Device-1: Broadcom and subsidiaries BCM43142 802.11b/g/n vendor: Hewlett-Packard driver: wl v: kernel modules: bcma port: 3100 bus ID: 02:00.0 chip ID: 14e4:4365 Device-2: Realtek RTL810xE PCI Express Fast Ethernet vendor: Hewlett-Packard driver: r8169 v: kernel port: 2000 bus ID: 03:00.0 chip ID: 10ec:8136 Device-3: Qualcomm Atheros AR9271 802.11n type: USB driver: ath9k_htc bus ID: 1-1.1:3 chip ID: 0cf3:9271 serial: 12345
Hope it help.
When I installed Manjaro, my wifi wasn’t working, I needed to use Ethernet to be able to connect, I tried downloading the wl drivers for my card but that had issues, it randomly disconnected, slow internet, etc. Looking around the forum it turned out that my network card BCM43142 had issues in manjaro and not everyone was able to make it work good, so they said that a USB dongle was a better alternative (I did not asked this questions, it was other users with the same problems as me). So that’s what I did, bought a USB dongle, installed, followed this* guide and it was working fine (I had to disable random Mac addresses), then my computer updated from 5.6 to 5.7 and the problems started , so I searched again and found this post* and it did helped but the internet just comes and goes, sometimes I can use it for hours without problems, but others I have to disconnect the dongle, wait some time (like a minute) reconnect and pray that it connect to the internet. Now don’t get me wrong, my router is indeed crappy, sometimes not a single device on my home has internet and my router is signaling that there is nothing wrong, I just turn it off and on, but that’s not always, it only happens like every two weeks, unfortunately I can’t change my router because my ISP doesn’t allow me to, I need to pay for an upgrade, but that’s beside the case. Right now I’m typing this on my phone while my mom is in the living room watching Netflix while I’m trying to refresh the site on my laptop to no success.
Edit: for some reason I can’t post links, the post I was referring to in my post are “Solution for TP-Link TL-WN823N (V2) wireless USB adapter” from the archived forums and “Wifi dongle not working anymore TP-Link TL WN823N RTL8192EU” from the new forums, also while i was trying this, my computer finally connected so I’m typing the edit from my laptop.
