Re: Wifi Keeps Disconnecting
Shut the machine down & restart the router. If that's no help, try disable IPv6:

Also, does your wifi connection improve if you disable Bluetooth?

Re: Wifi Keeps Disconnecting
Disabling IPV6 didn't work, do you any other thing i can do?

Re: Wifi Keeps Disconnecting
Did you disable Secure Boot in the BIOS, like the how-to says?

Re: Wifi Keeps Disconnecting
Secure Boot wasn't enabled, didn't had to change it
Re: Wifi Keeps Disconnecting
Did you restart router/modem? You can also try:
Code: Select all
sudo systemctl restart network-manager.service
Re: Wifi Keeps Disconnecting
when the wi-fi connection drops
i have to manually turn off and on to be able to connect again, it's a similar process to what this code do, i tried and process remains the same, i fear having to go back to windows because of this problem.

Re: Wifi Keeps Disconnecting
If no solution is found, you can always use a usb wifi adapter that works out of the box. Here's one Pjotr likes:

Re: Wifi Keeps Disconnecting
After weeks trying to figure out how to solve this problem i just gave up, i'm using an option on my phone named "USB tethering", basically you plug your phone with a USB cable in your PC and your phone will provide internet connection to your PC, it is working for me until now.
Re: Wifi Keeps Disconnecting
Hi, I had similar problems with my Realtek card and Mint, but with another driver (r8169). I spent a lot of time searching the web and trying to understand. Some people get good results when they unload and reload the module. You might just give it a shot:
In case there is an indirect dependency on the "realtek" phy driver that breaks down for some obscure reason, you might also try:
It doesn't do any harm, there is a remote possibility it may help 
Code: Select all
# modprobe -r r8152
# modprobe r8152
Code: Select all
# modprobe realtek
# modprobe -r r8152
# modprobe r8152
