as the title says my rtl8821ce wifi driver keep disconnecting radomly. when i restart the laptop it doesn’t work but when i shutdown my laptop completely and boot it again it works for a few moments and disconnects again. this just works as a temporary solution.
i’ve been facing this issue from last week. also i’ve checked this mentioned issues and solution here Search results for 'wifi disconnecting' - Manjaro Linux Forum but no luck yet also tried all LTS version Kernel manually but no luck yet also tried disabling ipv6.
and also checked other Distro same issue also there i thought maybe it was my network adapter issue but ethernet cable works fine.
i’m using AUR (en) - rtl8821ce-dkms-git this my wifi driver
$ dkms status
rtl8821ce, 1.0.5.r128.gf93db73, 5.10.53-1-MANJARO, x86_64: installed
If you already disabled IPv6 then also disable mac address randomization, restart your devices (including your router) and see if that makes things better.
Will have to look on one of my older rigs that has a wifi (probably next week i can get to it) and see what i have where i put the number 1 … can’t recall the other options either.
otherwise i recall using the restrict to device … and same mac address
this issue still persists man dunno what to do now i’m desperate i can’t use ethernet all the time and wifi keeps disconnecting. this issue is very annoying :-/
restarting NetworkManager doesn’t help me at all need to shutdown & boot my laptop again. i can’t keep doing this. i need some serious help mate
please
Apparently, this is a common issue with those Realtek WiFi chipsets. The two lines will cover the built-in module as well as the one from the AUR (which you are using.)
This will, however, likely use up more of your laptop’s battery as it disables advanced power management of your WiFi.
EDIT: If it doesn’t work using the driver from the AUR, try again with the one included with the kernel. (Either blacklist or remove the AUR version to retry with the built-in version.)
The built-in module is named rtw88_8821ce (notice the extra “88” immediately after the “rtw”)
everything was going good untill i plugged in my laptop charger and it occured again. no going to using the built in module let’s see if that works or not
I’m a bit iffy on using AUR packages, especially those that provide drivers / modules, when an option exists in the official repositories or kernel. Try to get it back to a clean slate so that you’re exclusively using rtw88_8821ce (included in the kernel.)
Afterwards, you can also double-check with modinfo to make sure, after a reboot, that it is indeed honoring the settings under you custom .conf file.
I don’t see any indication of ASPM being disabled in that output.
Can you try again with the -p flag?
modinfo -p rtw88_8821ce
You might have to double-check your .conf file (make sure it’s under /etc/modprobe.d/ and that it ends with the .conf extension. Double-check the lines in there as well, since if you copy+paste from a forum or webpage it might use a different format or ASCII characters.
