Wifi issues after Dec'25 update on Realtek USB adapters

[anpcre]

After updating to 6.12.63, my wifi has started to disconnect every 15-30 secs, sometimes reconnecting automatically sometimes just prompting to enter password.

Thinking this to an issue, I downloaded a fresh ISO ( available on site with release date of Oct 13 2025) and then reinstalled the system. All goes fine, and uses the same wifi network and adapter to update ( almost 700+ packages) and the post restart the problem starts

I tried downgrading kernel, Networkmanager and wpa_supplicant packages - but issue did not resolve

Have already formatted and reinstalled 5 times

Wifi Adapter details - RTL8192

Hi @anpcre, and welcome!

Your post has been moved to a dedicated topic.

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

• Forum Rules - Manjaro,

• [HowTo] Provide System Information.

  At bare minimum we would need you to please provide a detailed description of the problem faced, as well as the output to:

inxi --filter --verbosity=8 --color=0

• [HowTo] Post screenshots and links,
• [HowTo] Request support, and
• [HowTo] Post command output and file content as preformatted text.

Please also note and heed: Forum Rules - Manjaro

Those with privacy concerns: note that when -z, or --filter is used, all personally identifiable information is filtered out from the resulting inxi output.

Hope you manage!

Tip for legibility:

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
```

Or three (3) tilde signs, 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.

Alternatively, paste the text you wish to format as terminal output, select all pasted text, and click the </> button on the taskbar. This will indent the whole pasted section with one TAB, causing it to render the same way as described above.

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

---

Additionally

If your language isn’t English, please prepend any and all terminal commands with LC_ALL=C. For example:

LC_ALL=C bluetoothctl

This will just cause the terminal output to be in English, making it easier to understand and debug.

Please edit your post accordingly.

Note that the above text is partially pre-prepared as a general introduction for new forum users. Please take the time to follow links given and learn how to create effective support requests and encourage quality responses.

After updating to 6.12.63, my wifi has started to disconnect every 15-30 secs

Wifi disconnections? → try this first.

RTL8822CE Instability even with newest kernel

You can try two workarounds. Turn off wifi power save first. Create .conf file: sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf And copy these two lines inside it: [connection] wifi.powersave = 2 If the issue remains, turn off Mac Randomization. Create .conf file: sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/disable-random-mac.conf Copy these two lines inside: [device] wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no Hope this can solve your problem.

And if you want to know what’s really happening with your network card:

journalctl -u NetworkManager.service --no-pager

[anpcre]

Thanks for your response Arrababiski - but sadly your solution did not solve the issue

Thus, I did some research and re-did a couple of reinstalls, even switching the USB wifi Adapter (bought a new) and also using a different Wifi-router and a phone hotspot to be certain of the problem

So, I did a reinstall of my system again a few hours back and started to collect logs, which could help in solving the issue

I start off by installing a fresh system using the manjaro-kde-25.0.10-251013-linux612 ISO image, with no Office. The system works perfectly fine and there is no issues at all with Network (see logs)

Post update, I perform a restart and the System comes back with the new Software packages etc. I login, and then start a Terminal for ping requests to google, and approximately about 2-3 mins later, the packets start dropping and I get the Notification that “authorization supplicant timed out” (see image uploaded) and Network goes off - only to return back in like 30 secs and then going back disconnected in 1-2 mins

Note - I have taken section of the log - as its a repetition over and over - cyclic

I would like to share some of my other research that I did -

1. I installed CachyOS, and it too had the same isssue - Kernel 6-12-63-1
2. Using a borrowed RaLink Wifi Adapter on the same port and same Network does not cause the issue (Ralink Technology, Corp. MT7601U Wireless Adapter) in either Manjaro or CachyOS (In fact I am posting this reply using the RaLink Adapter on the above updated machine)
3. I tried downgrading wpa_supplicant + NetworkManager + Kernel and that still did not solve the issue

I know it the Holiday Season and feel bad troubling the Community, but unfortunately what was supposed to be a regular update, has catastrophically turned me to backing up my files and refreshing the System, and still without a Network

Let me know if you still want anything further to aid in a resolution to this

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and wishing you all a Very Happy and Prosperous 2026 !!!

For now, my System state is just as the above

Tip

When posting terminal output, copy the output and paste it here, wrapped in three (3) backticks, before AND after the pasted text. Like this:

```
pasted text
```

Or three (3) tilde signs, like this:

~~~
pasted text
~~~

This will just cause it to be rendered like this:

Sed
sollicitudin dolor
eget nisl elit id
condimentum
arcu erat varius
cursus sem quis eros.

Instead of like this:

Sed sollicitudin dolor eget nisl elit id condimentum arcu erat varius cursus sem quis eros.

Alternatively, paste the text you wish to format as terminal output, select all pasted text, and click the </> button on the taskbar. This will indent the whole pasted section with one TAB, causing it to render the same way as described above.

Thereby increasing legibility thus making it easier for those trying to provide assistance.

For more information, please see:

@Fabby

On this forum here you need to have Trust Level 1 (=TL1) to be able to post screenshots and links in-line.

That’s dumb! Why is that?

Well, that’s because on our old forum we got tons of screenshots of text, links to SPAM, PR0N and other things you don’t want on a forum, so all the new users are prohibited from posting links and pics because of a few bad actors.

As I’m a moderator on the forum, I have taken the liberty of doing this for you, this time.

---

Additionally

If your language isn’t English, please prepend any and all terminal commands with LC_ALL=C. For example:

LC_ALL=C bluetoothctl

This will just cause the terminal output to be in English, making it easier to understand and debug.

Note that the above text is partially pre-prepared as a general introduction for new forum Users. Please take the time to to understand how it is done and encourage quality responses.

@anpcre

Now using the same Wifi Adapter, I give a system update and it downloads approximately 1.8GB and all is smooth until I hit Restart

So seems clear that any update is causing trouble. In /var/log/pacman.log you can see all the packages updated at this moment, but downloading 1.8GB there will be a lot and hard to guess which one is the culprit.

Can you install new kernel 6.18 to see if the problems disappear as in this thread?

My wifi disconnects randomly after the latest pacman update

i update the kernel to 6.18, it decreased the WiFi disconnections much more, then i disabled wifi.powersave, it fixed the issue more me. thank you both.

[anpcre]

HI Everyone

Sorry for the delay as have been trying to figure out the solution myself - but alas even after like 30+ installs I am still with no consistent Network

So going stepwise, let me tell you what I have done so far

As per your advise, I downloaded the latest Edition - Manjaro 26 with Kernel 618 ( and its not LTS btw as some posts tried to tell me) and tried my install

This time, even with the live CD, the issue is persistent and the only change I noticed is that it give me a Wifi-Password Dialog - supposedly telling me that I have the wrong password keyed in - I type it in - and almost like within 2 mins the Dialog box is up

Anyway, I continued install and then on the system installed I put in the 2 files for powersave and random as said by you - and that does not have any effect too

If i try to ignore the Dialog box - like hitting cancel or closing it - I get “no secrets provided” error which seems genuine. But providing the password still goes in the disconnection loop

So, to have a workable system for sometime, I decided to go the old method and install a rtl8192dkms using AUR - and that worked, except that it has a very serious flaw - the moment I would try disconnecting the network or switching Wifi-Networks, the entire system would hang and I would have to perform a cold boot

Now, the most important observation that I have is that no matter how I do it, with the RaLink USB Wifi, there is practically no issue whatsoever, and the system works flawless

Honestly, before anyone says it, I would love to switch the USB Wifi and go over to anything Mediatek or anything that works, but here in India there is no mention of which product has what chipset and thus I have ended up getting now 3 USB dongles - and all 3 are RTL8192EU

With whatever knowledge I bear of using and being associated as a Linux user and administrator in my career, I suspect the issue to be more towards what has drastically been implemented as a change since October 2025, and pushed as an update in Dec 2025 - and the one thing that strikes me downright is the push to Wayland and deprecate X11 totally

I even did a download of the previous Oct 2025 editions of Manjaro ( like 23 and 24 ) and then have them installed just to check the loaded module (using lsmod | grep rtl ) and its the same –> rtl8xxxxu for all versions - so a driver issue would be the last thing - its either the system or something does not like RTL things to work ( I also read about people with Atheros having issues )

I thus request a much broader deeper dive into this as this puts up a bad name for an OS that has been regarded as a very stable one

[Molski]

I remember reading this 3 weeks ago. I still read:

• Wifi been rock solid – until this update
• Wifi broke
• Troubleshooting entails trying two ways to go backwards
• Reinstalled Manjaro
• Reinstalled Manjaro
• Reinstalled Manjaro
• Reinstalled Manjaro
• Reinstalled Manjaro

And wondering why no wifi.

No relevant logs either. You are missing logs by filtering that way, plus all the kernel logs. People asked for your inxi --filter --verbosity=8 --color=0 too.

You don’t seem to want to bother.

I, or someone else, might of asked you to give actual useful information then.

[kainonergon]

Hi. I had a similar issue recently with a different Realtek chipset (rtl8821ce) after an update. I could not find the reason for that, but one post from the forum helped me to get a working wifi connection.

WIFI doesn't connect, always asks for password and even after wifi is connected shows limited internet

No I don’t use vpn. The first problem was solved. I just had to disable KDE wallet and in Wi-Fi & Networking => Wi-Fi Security, I entered my wifi password and selected ‘Store password for all users (not encrypted)’ and after reboot the problem was solved, It didn’t ask for password anymore and limited connection was also not shown. I don’t know if that’s how it was solved but I didn’t face the problem again. As for second problem with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, like you said it was due to interferen…

Following the solution from this post, I set the option “Store password for all users (not encripted)“ and disabled Bluetooth. At the same time I configured my connection to store BSSID, not only SSID.

As an additional option, you can try to install different versions of the rtl8192eu driver. There are three packages in the AUR:

Bus 003 Device 005: ID 0bda:818b Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8192EU 802.11b/g/n WLAN Adapter

Reinstalling is never going to solve the issue - you are just wasting time.

To correctly troubleshoot this you will need to address this by learning how you can tweak the driver.

While the kernel has a theoretical support for the device, it is well known that the implementation varies greatly among different vendors using the specific chip, some is even designed for Microsoft Windows®.

Look into the drivers provided by your kernel and you will like find that there is no driver for your specific devices

 $ ls /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi
btcoexist  rtl8192ce  rtl8192de  rtl8192se  rtl8723com      rtl_usb.ko.zst
rtl8188ee  rtl8192cu  rtl8192du  rtl8723ae  rtl8821ae       rtlwifi.ko.zst
rtl8192c   rtl8192d   rtl8192ee  rtl8723be  rtl_pci.ko.zst

I will suggest check which kernel you are using

Example listing

 $ mhwd-kernel -li
Currently running: 6.18.5-1-MANJARO (linux618)
The following kernels are installed in your system:
   * linux618

Then install the headers for the kernel, alongside git, dkms and base-devel,

Example continued

sudo pacman -Syu linux618-headers dkms base-devel git

Then clone the dkms driver recipe from AUR

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/rtl8192eu-dkms

Enter the folder, then build the recipe and install the package

cd rtl8192eu-dkms
makepkg -iscC

The restart your system…

reboot

There is no guarantee or promise that it will work for your specific situation, but don’t waste your time reinstalling the system.

Use some time to investigate the specific implementation instead.

The idea behind using the dkms package, is that it will rebuild when you update the kernel.

Should you decide to switch the kernel version - e.g. 6.12 to 6.18 - remember that you will need the headers for the new kernel as well.

Its not that I am not bothered to get support or not able to provide the details - I already did in my previous post if you can read - the logs relevant to the issue

However, I am pasting the logs now from my “rectified” system as I observed and posting my detailed reply below as to what I did as rectification to stabilize my system

[anpcre]

Well, after a lot of tinkering and yes being sure myself by doing multiple installs and working out various scenarios, I have managed to get the system working as earlier - much better I would put it

So what did I do ? Just like with my suspicion in my previous reply, I did a reinstall, and then all I did was switched back the system to X11 from Wayland - and BAM - EVERYTHING works fine !!!

Yes, I can confirm that with the recent releases, using with Wayland does crop up the issue, but as soon as I switched the system to X11 permanently EVERYTHING became like it was prior to the update scenario (meaning before the Dec25 update) - No Wifi Disconnection - no WPA issues - No password issues

For people who want to know what i did, I just installed X11 using the packages kwin-x11 and plasma-x11-session, rebooted the machine and at the SDDM Login screen switched the Compositor to X11 and logged in

Just to add here, I did not use AUR to compile the RTL driver - I am using the same that comes default with the distribution

Thats is - I am now writing from the same system, using X11, and the same USB Wifi RTL8192eu dongle without ANY issues

I also want to point out here, that while in Wayland, my Rig used to run hotter, and even had thermal shutdowns, which I had never experienced before. Now, in X11, I hardly reach 50% of those thermals, without even changing any hardware or doing a thermal paste thing - and ofcourse doing the same amount of software and load on it

I thank everyone here who has read the thread, responded and tried to drive a resolution. My apologies for not being frequent in my replies, as I have been busy in doing re-installs and figuring out the problem, and final did multiple installs to arrive at this solution, and posting my observations only after I have been sure about it

I dont know if you want to mark this as a solution or not - but for now, on the updated system using a X11 (using kernel 612 LTS) , the system is stable and running smooth as it has been all the years I have been using Manjaro

I am open to share any logs or anything that might be required here

Thanks again

That will soon not be an option anymore, as KDE/Plasma will be wayland only.
Just as Gnome …
It might be an option to compile the whole thing yourself - not sure whether that will even be possible.
It’s unlikely that you’d like to do that …

It’s rather strange that wayland vs. xorg would have that effect.

If you need to keep using xorg, Xfce4 is one option where that hard switch is a long time away.

Well, that certainly is one of my fear - being totally deprecated from X11
Maybe there will be a solution in place by then

To be honest, even I was not expecting this - but for the sake of an experiment, I did this and found results to be positive

Personally, I will still be exploring to see if Wayland works when updates are coming in

In the interim, and since this has worked for me, I would request the Developers on the higher side to see if there is an integration issue that is causing this - I say its integration, because Wayland is a compositior and it was affecting Network primarily, and more importantly RTL based devices. The Secondary thing being the CPU running wild
