I use college WiFi and my connection frequently drops while Windows users use WiFi smoothly.

I get this output on running 

sudo lshw -C network

terminal screenshot RT3290

  • When your connection drops, what does running dmesg print related to Wifi? – SurvivalMachine May 04 '18 at 22:33
  • dmesg prints this when connection goes off [here] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1i8JGjKCxwQLdYLNmxcFaYOGsJc7WzPU8g3WLCjku5uI/edit?usp=sharing @SurvivalMachine – Vikas Shaw May 05 '18 at 13:36

    Have you tried disabling Wifi power management? – SurvivalMachine May 05 '18 at 13:47
  • It seems like @SurvivalMachine is right. For me iw dev <device> get power_save returned "Power save: on". Then I did iw dev <device> set power_save off and the issue seems to be gone. I could not do this with NetworkManager running. Instead I had to do it manually, with NetworkManager stopped. – Alexandre Schmidt Oct 08 '21 at 00:52
  • Unfortunately the above didn't solve my problem. It still disconnects apparently for no reason. So my next approach was to change wifi encryption, as suggested here: https://askubuntu.com/a/1306364/109449 After a couple hours using a different type of security, it seems like the problem's gone. – Alexandre Schmidt Oct 09 '21 at 00:20
