The wifi manager in my ubuntu seems to have some problems.

  1. Quite often when the connection drops I have to wait 10 minutes to have it back, or I even have to reboot (not always with improvements);

  2. Where my mobile phone connects easily the pc doesn't even see the connection

  3. Sometimes connects without showing it in the connections icon, or it decides not to show any detail about it

  4. There is no connection diagnostic tool as a feature

  5. If it is willing to connect he thinks about it for 5min, then drops, then if he feels generous, it connects to my wifi.

How can I improve the wifi manager or find an alternative?

I saw similar questions(on alternative managers) but I'm pointing out this 5 specific problems and I'm quite ignorant about this os and would appreciate your opinion.

  • If you state that you saw similar question please provide links to them. Please try to remove some clutter from your question and make it a bit more readable and understandable – derHugo Nov 05 '17 at 14:11
  • I doubt that it is your wifi manager, usually known as Network Manager. I suspect your wireless driver and its interaction with settings in your router. Please provide the diagnostics here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/425155/my-wireless-wifi-connection-does-not-work-what-information-is-needed-to-diagnos/425180#425180 – chili555 Nov 05 '17 at 14:26
  • I took the screen of the console, if you need translation let me know. @chili555 I must tell you that I personally had to install ubuntu on an ex-windows, and I had to work a lot on the drivers.I've never done such things before. – yeap noppy Nov 05 '17 at 18:04
  • You didn't post the wireless info. You posted a screenshot of the script output. The result is saved as a file. – Pilot6 Nov 05 '17 at 18:30
  • ok I pasted the right text i hope – yeap noppy Nov 05 '17 at 20:04

First, check the settings in the router. WPA2-AES is preferred; not any WPA and WPA2 mixed mode and certainly not TKIP. Second, if your router is capable of N speeds, you may have better connectivity with a channel width of 20 MHz in the 2.4 GHz band instead of automatic 20/40 MHz, although it is likely to affect N speeds. I also have better luck with a fixed channel, either 1, 6 or 11, rather than automatic channel selection. Also, be certain the router is not set to use N speeds only; auto B, G and N is preferred. After making these changes, reboot the router.

Next, I'd set IPv6 to Ignore in Network Manager: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/18/html/Installation_Guide/images/netconfig/network-connections-ipv6-ignore.png This example is for ethernet, but you want wireless.

  • ok @chili555 i'll try to find out on the web how to do what you said. except for the speed thing because i can stream720/1080, so I'd rather not change a thing there – yeap noppy Nov 07 '17 at 00:09
  • I suggest that you try both ways and test. – chili555 Nov 07 '17 at 00:34
