TP-LINK WN725N(v2) USB Nano Adapter Issues

Post by Lyric »

I'm having an issue where the wireless signal goes from 90-100% to 9-15% instantaneously and does it every few minutes. Not sure what is going on here.

I also already applied the fix I found in another thread: "sudo sed -i 's/3/2/' /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/*" - still doing it. I also disabled IPv6 for my connection. It's still randomy dropping from 90-100 to very low percentages and I am not moving around at all.

I am using the drivers from: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu currently.


Can someone please help me figure this out? thanks.

I also blacklisted my rtl8188ee (the internal wifi adapter) to try to avoid conflicts. (added to modprobe.d/blacklist.conf) Still drops signal randomly.

Lowest I've seen it drop is to 3%, then jumps back to 50%-100....sitting the same spot, not mobile at all with my laptop. (wifi access point is about 15ft away from me.)
