ping me when replying I don't check discord that often

grave dagger
#

@mild gyro in terminal sudo iwconfig wlp0s20f3 power off && sudo sed -i 's/3/2/' /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf

mild gyro
#

done

#

should I restart?

grave dagger
#

@mild gyro See if it behaves better, if not, then reboot

mild gyro
#

yep the signal still fluctuates and gradually goes down

#

just rebooted the system

grave dagger
#

Try power cycling the router

mild gyro
#

running on mobile hotspot

#

also this doesn't happen on windows me_thinks

#

I dual boot and use windows for gaming and never faced any issues with internet on windows

grave dagger
mild gyro
#

grave dagger
#

mild gyro
#

@mild gyro

#

have you tried updating your kernel

#

update manager > view > linux kernels

#

that could fix it, on the linux version that comes with mint bluetooth didnt work at all for me, but i upgrade to linux 6.5 and it works

#

especially if your on recent hardware

grave dagger
rough roost
#

how so?

#

i mean 6.5 works fine for me so i dont see a reason to

grave dagger
#

This guy is already using Kernel: 6.6.13-x64v3-xanmod1 x86_64

rough roost
#

oh oops...

#

my motherboard is a ASUSTeK model: PRIME B550M-A WIFI II and it comes with the bluetooth

grave dagger
#

That ID is in my bluetooth-5.15 code on github 13d3:3563

#

It is one of them that are on the Mediatek 7921 wifi cards

grave dagger

#

sorry for the late reply

#

i also have led fans, but not asus as far as i know , they came with my deepcool case

grave dagger
rough roost
#

hm not sure, is there any other way to check for more details?

#

some component to control lights and stuff maybe?

grave dagger
#

It might be, I could find out too much searching for the USB ID

rough roost
#

my pc does have some fancy lights... didnt choose them the parts just came with it

grave dagger
#

Might be something that changes the LED color

rough roost
#

wait i can do that 👀

#

i thought it was just blue

Can you give the hotspot a different name? Then connect to the new name and then in terminal ./wireless-info && cat wireless-info.txt|nc termbin.com 9999 post URL

grave dagger
#

Can you install LinSSID and monitor the signals and see if there is a strong signal appearing on 5GHz when it drops to 0

stray anchor

grave dagger
#

Both using xanmod kernels too

mild gyro
#

hmm but I never had any problem with wifi in other distros I've used pop os and fedora before 🤔

#

should I try switching my kernel

#

cause this is my first time using xanmod kernel

stray anchor
#

if i goo than learn my laptop charge is only 3% or no light type solutions i try

grave dagger
#

I ran my computer on 6.5 kernel from Mint and switched my phone and hotspot to 5GHz and I didn't lose signal

mild gyro
#

alright I'll try switching back to default kernel

stray anchor

wifi

grave dagger
#

I don't think is it some incompatibilty as Intel does a lot of the development of the linux drivers for their wifi devices. I prefer to have Intel wifi in my computers as they usually just work

mild gyro
#

this wifi thing is too inconvenient

mild gyro
grave dagger
mild gyro
#

how do I check if it is staying disabled?

#

it is disabled hmm

grave dagger
#

cat /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf

mild gyro
#

@grave dagger anything else I can try ?

grave dagger
#

You could get mainline from github and upgrade to the newest kernel and see if it fixed this issue

grave dagger
#

yes

mild gyro
#

alr

mild gyro
grave dagger
#

The header are usually only needed for building out of tree kernel modules

mild gyro
#

okaky

grave dagger
#

Any chance of a loose antenna connection? Does it happen when connected to a 2.4GHz channel?

mild gyro
#

don't think it's a loose antenna connection since wifi works fine on windows

mild gyro
#

@grave dagger anything else I can tryy

grave dagger
#

Is the hotspot set to a set channel and not auto? It could be switching channels on you
