Wifi disappears after boot

vn flag

I was using Zorin OS 16 and my wifi started disconnecting (it did not happen for months after I install Zorin 16) after like 5 minutes later after boot and I was not able to see any wifi in Networks section after the disconnect. I couldn't find a solution so I switched to Kubuntu 22.04. Now I still have the same issue. Weird thing is, this does not happen at work internet, it happens only on my home internet.

I have another laptop with different wifi adapter and there are no issues with it.

What I tried so far:

  • Reset modem
  • Install this (after installing this it was okay whole day but after then I went to job and came back and it occured again)
  • re-install NetworkManager

Here is my wifi adapter:

I changed wifi.powersave from 3 to 2 in /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf and no problems so far. I'll update here if it happens again.

I had similar problems that solved disabling (with a workaround) my network card power-saving... long story - short solution...

try to run the following script as cron job (root user), and let me know if this solve your issue.

PS: I think it's a driver issue, but in my case this workaround solve the problem. Let me updated, please.

SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=""

* * * * * root for i in {1..12}; do (echo 'on' > /sys/class/net/"$(ls /sys/class/net/ | grep -v '^lo')"/power/control) 2>/dev/null; sleep 5; done;

PPS: The "$(ls /sys/class/net/ | grep -v '^lo')" block is used to find the first Ethernet Device Card.

try replacing the last line cron job script with the following one: `* * * * * root for i in {1..12}; do (ping -c 1 example.com) 2>/dev/null; sleep 4; done;`

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
