[SOLVED]Very unstable wifi problem

tuvosyl · 2025-03-13 22:08:36

Hi, I recently switched from Ubuntu to Arch, and I have a problem with my WiFi. Every 5 to 10 minutes, it disconnects. I have to wait 10-15 seconds, and then it comes back.

My WiFi controller is a Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8822CE 802.11ac on a Lenovo Ideapad 3.

This driver worked well on Ubuntu, where the WiFi didn’t work at all by default.

Do you have any idea why this is happening and how to fix it?

Thank you in advance!

Please post the output of

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

Disable iwd.service, if you want to use iwd as NM backend, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Networ … Fi_backend

Also disable systemd-networkd*

Unrelated, but wrt pulseaudio:

pacman -Qs pulse

, choose pipewire-pulse over pulseaudio
