Wifi hanging on MacBook pro
Hi,
I've had this issue for a while, and despite lots of googling I couldn't figure out how to fix it.
My problem is that whenever I connect to wifi on my laptop (I have tried this on many different hotspots), it says I'm connected and things load for anywhere from 10sec to a minute, and then everything stops loading randomly. I can't ping google, webpages won't load, downloads stop. However it still shows that I'm connected to wifi. I can temporarily fix this by turning off the wifi and then turning it back on, but this just lets me connect for another 10sec-1min and then I have the same issue all over again.
If it helps, I'm on a MacBook pro, and I'm running gnome and (I think) using networkmanager. If there are any commands I should run and provide output for, please let me know (I'm still a little new to this so I'm not sure what's helpful).
When I run
dmesg | grep wlp2s0b1right after I turn the wifi off and then on on my computer the output I get is:
...

Thanks for the help

Re: Wifi hanging on MacBook pro
Last time this happened to me it was because I had several services fighting over the wireless NIC. Can you run
systemctl list-unitsto see which running services could be doing this?
I'd start by disabling everything that manages networking (network manager, connman, dhcpcd, wicd, etc) and then running them one by one.

LOAD = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.
131 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.I'm not sure which are relevant to networking, but the only ones I see that I think are relevant are:
UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION
NetworkManager.service loaded active running Network Manager
wpa_supplicant.service loaded active running WPA supplicant
network.target loaded active active NetworkAre these the relevant ones to disable?
Oh and also, since I posted my original message I figured out that sometimes instead of stopping and starting the wifi to connect again, running
sudo dhclient wlp2s0b1will reconnect me instead. Not sure what that does or why that helps, but it may be relevant.
Lastly (sorry for all the info but I'm posting anything that may be relevant), I captured the logs from journalctl when I connect to wifi, and then at the moment that things stop loading. Here are those logs:
