Hello everyone,
I seem to have an issue with my wifi connection, either it be on 2.4GHz or 5GHz, at random times it starts disconnecting/connecting and from that point on it never stays connected. Sometimes when i first open my desktop, the wifi i was connected (lets say 2.4) fails to connect and if i disconnect it and connect to the 5 it connects successfully (until it starts doing the above behavior again).
I have a TP-LINK Archer TX20E v1 and from the lsmod i can see that the driver that is being used is rtw89_pci 118784 1 rtw89_8852be
I have tried to remove the wired option from the network settings (saw it as a solution somewhere), but that didnt help.
Im not sure what is should be doing here, could you please help me out?
Thank you very much for your assistance
