Wifi disconnects after some time

Debug_pro · 2023-01-02 13:39:11

This problem appeared some time ago. After boot wifi works as expected, after a while the connection speed starts to drop sharply and wifi is sent to reconnect (sometimes this is enough, and sometimes you have to reconnect by yourself). After successful connect cycle starts again (works-speed fall-reconnect).

I have

Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188EE Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 804b
Kernel driver in use: rtl8188ee
Kernel modules: rtl8188ee

and

local/networkmanager 1.40.8-2
local/wpa_supplicant 2:2.10-8

I've seen a few similar topics, but it wasn't the solution.

Wifi card has disabled power save mode.
Router is ok. Tested from another devices. Tried restart, no results.

It my first topic, sorry for mistakes.
And sorry for my english.

Any help is much appreciated!

Check the system journal.
As a sanity check

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

and in doubt try to disable NM and connect manually (iwd or wpa_supplicant) or maybe wifi-menu (avoiding NMs notorious scanning habits)

Sorry for late response (dead notifications + spent time testing) and thx for answer.

I connected manually through wpa_supplicant. Same result, works for a while and connection falls with cyclic messages in journal.

Did you stop NM first?
Is the journal excerpt filtered? (Don't - also the date format is weird and doesn't include seconds - "sudo journalctl -b")

Yes, stopped and disabled.

No, not filtered. (I copied logs from ksystemlog xd).
"sudo journalctl -b" returns me same result. Message above just repeating in logs.

Still post the journal (minute accuracy is like no accuracy)
You can try to pass "rtl8188ee.fwlps=0 rtl8188ee.swlps=1 rtl8188ee.ips=0 rtl8188ee.aspm=0" to the kernel.
Is there btw. a parallel windows installation?

No, It's not a parallel windows.

Now wpa_supplicant couldn't find any network (CTRL-EVENT-NETWORK-NOT-FOUND)

Nope.

You're deauthenticating by local choice, there's a very old https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=184408
1. Does this also happen w/ the LTS kernel?
2. Can you test a different AP?
3. Please post the entire system journal for a recent boot w/ the suggested parameters and your typical NM configuration.

sudo journalctl -b > /tmp/journal.txt # it's not supposed to contain any private data

Edit: oh, and try iwd.

Oh, today's kernel update fix this..
Thanks you seth very much for your help. I will test for some time then update this topic to solved or not.
