So, I don’t know if it’s just a fortuitous coincidence or if it’s a consequence of a big upgrade done in the week but since Wednesday I’ve been having consistent network problems.
I have a ROG Zephyrus to which I have long ago replaced the Realtek network card with an Intel AX210, with which on average, I was traveling on 50-60 Mbps and maximum ping 25ms, with a very stable connection, but since precisely Wednesday I experience continuous disconnections, sometimes I have to reboot the computer in order to connect to any wi fi network.
Up until last night the disconnections were periodic every half hour or so, but today the pc connects yes or no 10 minutes and then goes into a “connection on/connection off” loop, going on for even half an hour and then "this network has no internet access (right now I’m using my cell in USB tethering even just to make this topic… and the phone is using wifi, so obviously the network is not the problem).
I know there is already this topic in the forum, but I have already tested several kernels and the situation is the same:
- zen
- mainline
- lts
- lts real time
- cachy lts
