Wifi randomly disconnects/reconnects

Hi,

I previously raised an issue which may or may not be related to this:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=292150

I raised that post to try and rule out the hardware being the issue. However as yet I haven't got a response and I thought it probably was an issue with the wifi card, I bought a USB wifi stick - a TP-Link Wi-Fi 6 AX1800 (Archer TX20UH). I installed the driver from here:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl8852au-dkms-git

And everything seemed to just work for a short period until the connection dropped out. The difference with the previous post is that now it does reconnect again after some time.

It seemed to happen most often when I moved location around the house (2 APs) with my laptop so I added the following file:

tuf ~ # cat /etc/systemd/network/25-wireless.network 
[Match]
Name=wlp0s20f0u1

[Network]
DHCP=ipv4
IgnoreCarrierLoss=6s

I think this did have the effect of reducing the number of disconnects I see but it's still happening. I'm not sure if my other post is related or not and I'm really only concerned about get my new wifi stick to work - I only mentioned it in case it helps someone else better understand what the issue might be here.   

This is what I see in journalctl when it disconnects:

tuf ~ :( # journalctl -f

Re: Wifi randomly disconnects/reconnects

Check this https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=213449. You have both networkd and network manager working.

Re: Wifi randomly disconnects/reconnects

Thanks for your reply. I disabled `systemd-networkd.service` and `systemd-networkd.socket` and rebooted. I think that helped but it does still keep happening.

This is what the logs look like on a disconnect now:

Only if the service has been enabled. NetworkManager should load wpa_supplicant rather than it being enabled.

Check

ls /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants

Is it listed there? If so then disable the service and reboot to test.

Are you infected with Wetiko?

Re: Wifi randomly disconnects/reconnects

There's a 30s gap between the posted segments and the first part doesn't show a disconnect at all - can we please get a coherent journal covering the incident?
Off the bat, lock the BSSID and disable MAC randomization.

Re: Wifi randomly disconnects/reconnects

Thanks for your help. I created the following file and then rebooted.

ladmin@tuf ~ $ cat /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/30-mac-randomization.conf
[device-mac-randomization]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no

The below is the full log capturing the first occurrence of the incident after that reboot:

https://0x0.st/HG3q.log

Thanks.

From the brief pattern, you're jumping between the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands of the same AP.

Re: Wifi randomly disconnects/reconnects

Thanks! I did see your suggestion and followed the link but the documentation said to lock the BSSID if roaming is not important to you. I have two access points so roaming is important to me. I did just try your suggestion though and I think that was the final piece of the puzzle! As long as I'm connected the that AP I don't think I'm seeing any disconnects now. So that's kinda good news! Is there a better solution by any chance? Like can I keep roaming but somehow indicate I only want to connect to only the (preferably) 5Ghz band and not even try the 2.4GHz?

Re: Wifi randomly disconnects/reconnects

Roaming is done by the backend, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/wpa_supplicant#Roaming
But afaict, NM simply hardcodes the config: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkM … heads#L627 otherwise you could fine-tune the signal strength limits.

Your suggestion was https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkM … issues/930
