Wifi problem with disconnections

Support Network
1

Hello,
My wifi disconnects and I need to relaunch the wifi connection to make it work again it could happen every 5 minutes, every 1hour. I just sometimes lost my connections.
How to improve it?
I am using NetworkManager, maybe you suggest to use some other alternatives, which ones?
Maybe change network driver to another one, or update this one how to achieve this? I have reinstalled using:

Have you already tried another kernel (e.g. 6.1 LTS)?

:footprints:

@andreas85 Thank you for your answer. Previously, i have used LTS versions and had to / people give me recommedations to try non LTS newest version.
Just to be more clear about my situation I have second computer with Linux manjaro also similar situation “rtw_8822be” driver also on AMD Ryzen, Kernel 6.1.21-1-Manjaro and here everything works.
I think it is my driver or NetworkManager. Do you think I could use and test something else?

Sometimes you need to use a recent kernel because your hardware is very new.
Sometimes it’s best to use the latest LTS kernel.

I think this is a cheap attempt :wink:

I have used LTS kernel 6.1 I had the same wifi situation + AMD Ryzen problems.
Since then I still have problems with wifi, if your recommendation is only LTS Kernel 6.1 thanks for that.
Greetings

Hi Chris,

You might find something useful in Authorization supplicant timed out error / Connection gets lost and reconnects again.

Cheers.

Thanks for posts…
I have done one more time some updates, reinstallations and
I have delete drivers and install it one more time and update entire system one more time… :rolleyes:
Setup wifi to static bandwith and other options, only 5GHz router without auto changing to 2.4GHz

…and… it works

sudo modprobe -r rtw89_8852a

sudo modprobe rtw89_8852a
