[Resolved]WiFi Stops Working in 18.2

[kilowatt2]

Code: Select all

Intel Dualband Wireless AC 3165

At times my WiFi stops working on my Laptop. The network panel app shows the network options but shows no signal and I can't reconnect to any router.

Is there a command that I can use to restart my Wifi device and/or the networking app for the panel?

This does not occur in Windows 10 even with suspension of the laptop.

TIA

Hello killowatt2 and Welcome to Linux Mint Forums,
you can restart network services with this command in the terminal.

Code: Select all

systemctl restart networking

it would be nice to figure out what's causing the disconnects.
Have you tried using the Driver Manager found in the control center.
It may provide additional drivers you can try for your card.

Code: Select all

sudo sed -i 's/3/2/' /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/*

Then reboot, if it works it means that power management was the problem

[kilowatt2]

Code: Select all

sudo service network-manager restart

By using this command the applet is restarted and the wifi connection is made again.

Glad it's working for you
