I've been experiencing disconnections from my wifi since two or three days ago both in my laptop and desktop arch machines, but they are much more common in my laptop. My laptop is a HP laptop 15-fcx000 and uses a Intel RTL8852BE PCIe controller which uses the rtw89_8852be kernel module.
I need to disconnect from the wifi and connect again for the internet to work just for few moments before failing again. I can't ping and i can't access websites, so it seems like it is not the problem mentioned in the Arch wiki about TCP window scaling (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Networ … ng_problem). I tried a cold reboot, and unloading and loading the module to see if it changed something. Actually, my wifi seems to work, but very slowly, because normally it has download speeds of several kilobytes, but whenever the outage happens it decreases to few hundreds of bytes.
uname -r

And I already tried to see if the problem is from the firewall, which would be very rare, but it isn't. It seems that theselogs are normal.

Might it be similar to what I and other have experienced after the latest linux-firmware-realtek-20250808 update?
See here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=307612 , try downgrading to the previous version.

Thank you so much! It seems like it works. Hope it will be solved in future updates of the package. I didn't want to solve, but as Seth pointed out, deleting the fw-1.bin worked
