Four days ago installed Ubuntu and struggling with this issue since. Tried below from Unreliable wireless connection with an Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230

sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi-opt.conf <<< "options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1"

didnt work after reboot so reverted.

tried this too https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2214075 and downloaded the firmware and followed the steps in linked answer but didnt work.

This answer "askubuntu.com/questions/768843/wifi-problem-on-ubuntu-16-04?noredirect=1&lq=1 "
advises downloading the latest upstream kernel from but I am not sure which package to download.

  • Have you tried these things? http://askubuntu.com/questions/804607/ubuntu-16-04-wifi-intel-7265-slow-disconnecting/804619#804619 – chili555 Aug 04 '16 at 14:05
  • @chili555 I saw this post before but I wasnt sure if it would apply here as the router works with other devices perfectly and secondly I couldnt even figure out how to change the router settings. Can you please give a bit more details. Thanks for your help – jiimms Aug 04 '16 at 15:05

    I would love to tell you that every device ever made works perfectly with Ubuntu, Windows and Mac but, alas, it isn't so. To change the router settings, you need to log on to the router's administration pages; something like http://192.168.1.1. Google the brand and model of router and read the pdf manual on line. – chili555 Aug 04 '16 at 18:10
