[resolved] No internet on wifi, Dell XPS 9370, QCA6174

Hi

After a system upgrade with `yay` internet stopped working.

I can connect to any wifi network but it won't ping the gateway. Shows 100% packet loss with no errors.

Here's the ip addr output:

2: wlp2s0: ‹BROADCAST,MULTICAST, UP, LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdise noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether 9c:b6:do:90:ab:7b brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 192.168.0.72/24 br 192.168.0.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute wlp2s®
valid_lft 604088sec preferred_lft 604088sec
inet6 2a02:8109:8880:118c:9eb6:dOff: fe90: ab7b/64 scope global dynamic mngtmpaddr
valid_lft 85693sec preferred_lft 42493sec
inet6 fe80::9eb6: doff: fe90:ab7b/64 scope link noprefixroute
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

I've tried to downgrade the linux firmware package to no avail. I am dualbooting with Windows and everything is working there.

Thanks

Check dmesg for errors.
Also, how do you manage the network? NM scanning around and altering the MAC on the run is a frequent source of trouble, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Networ … domization
In doubt, please post the entire system journal.

dualbooting with Windows and

ceterum censeo: 3rd link below.

Network Manager. I've noticed that internet does work for a couple of seconds after the boot but then stops working. Please see dmesg here https://pastebin.com/JFTAvRxg . I couldn't see any relevant errors there.

Thank you

I've noticed that internet does work for a couple of seconds after the boot but then stops working

sudo journalctl -b
find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-40s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f

There's some issue w/ the usb host controller, but unless the ath10k is on the same PCI as the USB, I don't see how this would interfere. Also it's 2.5 minutes into the boot,

Yes, sorry I left the computer on and the log is not right after the boot.

After executing the latter command I saw that there was a nordvpnd service installed. The internet started working after I stopped that service.

Thank you Seth, your help is much appreciated.

Great.

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
