RTL8812AE Dropping Connection

When the computer sits idle for a while the pcie wifi card will just drop the connection. I can open up nmtui and connect again but it's starting to get annoying. Please let me know if there is more information needed.

Re: RTL8812AE Dropping Connection

Why are you using a that old kernel?
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=130309 - second fat line.

I assume you're using the rtl8821ae kernel module?
Try

rtl8821ae.ips=0 rtl8821ae.aspm=0
