[SOLVED] Troubles with Wi-fi on BayTrail Chromebook

So I have some Wi-fi connection issues on my HP Chromebook 11 G4. (Wi-fi Adapter - Intel Dual-Band Wireless-AC 7260)
Connection to network is normal and stable, but every 5-15 minutes the connection speed drops to zero for 20-30 seconds. This problem is observed when connected to any network and in ChromeOS (with other distros under chroot in ChromeOS) everything is fine, so I think it's not hardware problem.

Restarting NetworkManager, wpa_supplicant and iwd helps for very short time.

Re: [SOLVED] Troubles with Wi-fi on BayTrail Chromebook

The fact you mention all three of those services is almost certainly the cause of the issue. Decide for one disable the others. If you want fancy desktop integration the only service that should be enabled is NetworkManager, the others (by default wpa_supplicant) will be started as necessary by NetworkManager.

Thanks! Removing NetworkManager and wpa_supplicate solved the problem.
