I'm facing a problem while using wifi.
It keeps disconnecting in between.
And throw this error in notification saying. Wifi deactivated.
wireless interface wlan0
authentication application timed out
No problem while connecting. It just it gets disconnected while I have some important stuff to do.
I'm new to linux. Please bare with me.
Will share if any logs are required.
Turn off wifi power saving.
If was disabled by default.
I would then try disabling IPv6.
Please post:

If possible try disabling PCI-Express power management in the BIOS or via a grub kernel boot parameter.
Test at least 4 alternate kernels such as, linux, linux-lts, linux-mainline, or linux-next-git for your Wifi issue.
Also disable MAC address randomization.
Will try this. Thank you for replying to that quickly.
Will get back if the problem persists.
Can you please tell the process for disabling MAC address randomization.
Search is your friend try the forums, it helps.

Yup just got that answer in another post.
Do the disconnects occur randomly or at regular intervals?
How frequently?
Just disabled the MAC address randomization, now a new pop up is coming stating network can't be found.
Randomly. Mostly while doing something important. Got disconnected 3 times while talking to you.

You could also try locking your wifi to a single bssid in network manager.
removed all connections and using only the 2.4GHz band. But the issue still persists.
Maybe you could give a try to the rtl8821-dkms-git driver in the AUR.
I don't know if this will require to blacklist your current driver or it will be done automatically.
Although, before fumbling with drivers, I'd give priority to the other kernels.
Recently a user, with your card although on a different HP model was experiencing freezes with wifi and solved with maineline kernel. Of course that's different, Just to say that testing kernels is important.
I think rtw88-dkms-git would be the preferred driver if you were to install an out of kernel driver. You would be best to test other kernels first before you go that route.
I missed this post. Be sure to reboot both your computer and router afterwards.
Tried installing rtw88-dkms-git with Linux-lts & linux-mainline. Still facing the same issue.
Are you dual booting
If answer is yes then that's the cause
