I have a HP Pavilion 15-ab217ng notebook (https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04908430)
and I'm using Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS.
Since the latest update (a couple of days ago) I have been experiencing very slow network traffic for some reason.
The symptoms are:
- When I start a ping (some web server) in bash after I login I get
Temporary failure in name resolution.
- After a couple of minutes the ping starts working and the times are around 10 ms which is reasonable.
- But when I start Thunderbird and want to check my e-mails I get
Failed to connect to server and Connection timed out error messages.
- When I open Firefox and want to surf the web it takes 10 seconds for a page to load and sometimes it fails showing
Server Not Found or Secure Connection Failed error messages as well. Or it does load the page but doesn't load any/some images on the page.
WLAN signal strength is excellent and reconnecting doesn't fix the problem.
Edit: I did an internet speed test and this is the result:
- 39.56 Mbps download
- 21.26 Mbps upload
Which is normal.

Update: I got myself an external WLAN stick and using that I have no problems with the wireless connection. So the problem has something to do with the driver of the integrated WLAN device within the laptop. It can't be a hardware problem because the issue is not there when I boot Windows 10.
I've read that the wireless devices in HP laptops generally have problems under Ubuntu. :-(
How could this be fixed?
